    Oooohhh, I love those wheels! I don't think I've ever seen a Blue Oval product that actually had them!

    How do we know it doesn't have A/C? Is enough of the engine compartment shown to be able to tell?

    Those are actually hub caps/wheel covers. I remember a lot of Torino's from 74-5 having them but don't recall them being factory on the later 'floaters' of the era, but I could be wrong. I do like them also!

    Except for the wheel covers this is identical to my Uncles last ride.

    Yeah, no, Jaunty, pic 3 shows the engine compartment, and there is no evap case, just the basic heater case. If someone were inclined, they could find an intermediate with the same engine, and strip it for the necessary parts to put A/C in, or go aftermarket. Lots of labor? Or lots of dollars?
