Really nice shot, but it ain't a Torino, it's a Mercury Cyclone.

Usually they called it a Cyclone (the "hot rod" trim level of the street version), but sometimes they referred to it as a Montego, the actual body style. But when it was painted white with a red top and gold numbers, most competitors just referred to it as "that &$@#$ Mercury", as it made its way to victory lane. LOL

I worked and partied with Richie and he drove our Mod once so I know it pissed em off when he jumped into that Ford/ Merc product being a chevy guy :)
