’70 & ’71 Convertibles

Torino drop tops weren´t as popular as the Mustang for example. In 1970 only 3.939 cars have been produced on the assembly line, which is only 0.4 percent of 407.987 produced units in total. In 1971 there were even only 1.613 cars (other sources assume 1,614 cars) that left the factory. A good handful of these convertibles are located in europe, but are very rare to be found.

At this point sincere thanks to Marc Drysdale from Canada for the following figures and data:
