Countless Show Awards & Hot Rod Magazine Features
This 1972 Ford Torino GT 2 Door Hardtop Fastback was built by Steve
Strope of Pure Vision Design in Simi Valley, California back in
2008 with all the customizations and more you see listed above.
This iconic build nicknamed "Big Blue" was a true labor of love
that was featured on the cover of the June 2008 issue of Hot Rod
Magazine, and then again in their August 2008 paint issue. It won
it's class at the 2008 Grand National Show in Pomona as well and
has gone on to earn extensive recognition of one of the most
incredible Torino Fastback examples ever built. Big Blue was the
inspiration for the Torino in the Fast and Furious movies.
Additionally, this 1972 Ford Torino GT Hardtop Fastback has been
driven a mere 1,207 total miles since the restoration and is still
in "better than new" condition with flawless body lines, glass,
trim and interior. The underbody also stands out as new in
appearance and this beautiful custom muscle car has been maintained
at the highest possible standards for a classic of this caliber.
The attention to detail in this precision build is above and beyond
anything we've come across in recent years and this example is
essentially show quality throughout. It must be seen in person to
fully comprehend and appreciate.
Out on the open road, this 1972 Ford Torino GT Hardtop Fastback
delivers awe-inspiring performance on par with many of the highest
regarded modern muscle cars of the past decade. From the extensive
horsepower and torque to the track-like feel of the custom
suspension, you've simply never driven a classic that can directly
compare. Literally every part and accessory on this classic is the
absolute best that money can buy.
The Most Prestigious Build We've Seen In A Long Time
Overall, this incredibly desirable 1972 Ford Torino GT Hardtop
Fastback is every collector's dream ride since builds of this
magnitude simply do not come around very often. It's virtually
impossible to determine a fair market value since the build costs
go well into six-figures, and the notoriety of "Big Blue" alone
makes this one of the biggest steals of the year. Don't wait on
this one- it will be back in a private collection in a hurry!
