That is awesome, I want one! Trying to figure out more about the 6 cylinder in those cars, looks like an interesting engine.

Brilliant race history for 1969. 334 laps of the 12 mile course on public roads in Germany. That's 4008 miles in 84 hours for an average of 47 mph. Doesn't sound like very fast, but have you ever seen the original Ring?

Interestingly enough, the car is named Torino. The first year Ford released the Torino was 1968.

The IKA Torino was first released in 1966.

It's basically the same engine as Jeep tornado 230

That's something I would definitely enough owning. Totally different from the little Italian cars. Maybe a more street version for me, with a flat hood.
