Mike Brittnacher spent his first round of Ford Torino ownership behind the wheel of a 1970 Torino GT. While not the hairiest and scariest muscle car around, the GT was still plenty rowdy and fast for a teenager.
When it came time for a second Torino a little more than a decade ago, Brittnacher decided to look for something a little more understated and refined. It took him a while, but the Fort Atkinson, Wis., resident was able to find a car a little more on the “mature” side that turned out to be just his speed.
“I was looking for a couple years and I thought to myself, ‘Yeah, everybody wants a four-speed and all that, but I’m getting older, give me an automatic, and I’d like air conditioning. So I looked for a couple years and I came across this,” said Brittnacher, pointing to his lovely triple-green ’71 Torino Brougham. “It was a factory air car, power steering and power disc front brakes. It was a nice car. Low mileage — it had 32,500 miles on it when I bought it. I bought it out of central Illinois — Reddick, Illinois — but it came out of West Virginia.
