They ARE worth a LOT more than a non-factory S&H torino.
Last year I ran into a lady at a thrift store, who was driving a honda element that had a bumper sticker that said- "My other car is a Starsky and Hutch torino".
Odd sticker, I thought. I told her about my 71 351 gt. She asked me if I was interested, so I asked "how much". She said 100K and told me one just sold for more than that at auction.
I tried not to laugh, but checked it out when I got home. Sure enough, one did sell for about 100K but it was an actual, documented set car in perfect 95 plus point condition.
I was a little surprised at the actual values for more realistic condition cars, but I have since purged that info from my organic data repository.
Those 70 and 71 gt's have been gaining a LOT of value lately.
When I had mine, they weren't worth anything.
Now they are. Figures. That almost always happens to me.
72 and up gran torino sports are also gaining quite a bit of value, lately.
