    Spotted behind in the intro and quickly on panning view. Unfortunately, he doesn't dive into it. If you're in Idaho, it as L&L Classic Auto.

    There is some cool stuff in that yard. If it wouldn't cause a potential divorce there were three cars I would haul home. I want the 74 Torino cop car, the former Sherrif's department Mustang and the 73 GTO. I would probably never do much with them but thought they were cool.

    How cool! I wanna go!!! 8 hour drive puts it beyond the realm of a day trip though.

    25-30 years ago I wouldn't have thought twice about it. We would have jumped in the car and headed east!

    The '74 Torino is probably the rarest, by far... We'eve all seen restored GTO & 5.0 Interceptor Stangs but I've never seen a unmarked Torino. AFAIK those were never used those in this area.

    In the '60s to early '70s VA State Police & city of Chesapeake did use unmarked 2dr Customs(full size) as chase vehicles. In '66 the State Police used customs that were 428 & three on tree.

    Not just unmarked interceptor but a two door to boot! That GTO is pretty uncommon as well, they didn't make very many of them. Being a Pontiac guy at heart it is one of the few Colonnade body style GM's I would own. I like the Stang for a few reasons (in order of importance), it's a notch, it has a five speed and it was a former cop car.:yup:
