1970 Ford Torino Brougham on eBay - Simi Valley, CA

"With only a handful of these Torino wagons made."

Don't know where the seller gets this idea. 13,166 Torino Brougham wagons with the V8 made in 1970, according to the "Standard Catalog of Ford", 4th edition.

Three times is the charm. Seen this car in a couple of varieties.

 

13,000 is just a handful. They made over 100,000 Country Squires that year, and it's been many months since I've seen one on ebay. If I recall correctly, there was one other Torino on ebay a few months ago, and prior to that it had been years since one was listed. I think the attrition rate for Torino wagons was even higher than for the full sizers.

When this car was listed in an auction, it bid up to $18,300. Curious that that bidder seems no longer to be interested at $17,500.

 

I noticed that the seller's description mentions that it has "super cool ss hidden lights"
I am assuming that they are referring to the hidden headlights and are (mistakenly) under the impression that any car with hide-away headlights was an SS.

 

I loved the ‘69-‘70 LTD ss’ with their hidden headlights.

 

The latest listing.
(cue "Twilight Zone" theme).
The price is now $35,000.

Makes sense to me. If you can't sell it at $17,500, double the price. Obviously, it was priced too low.

I guess if it doesn't sell in a month, we'll see it listed at $70K.

In the same vein, the car is now described as "fully loaded".
I wonder if that means it's equipped with such luxury features as crank-up windows, manually adjusted seats, and an AM radio. I'll bet it even has a cigarette lighter.
