Mannix's toronado
I loved this show as a kid but don't remember this car

I'm too young (or not old enough?) to really remember the show. Its funny to look back now & see the fine craftsmanship on the tail lights & knock offs

I can't say that the custom touches are doing the early Toro any favors. The grill isn't an improvement over stock, the convertible doesn't really work with the (former) fastback roofline, and the side pipes while keeping the stock dual exhaust and cutout back bumper is just stupid.
Interestingly, it's a loaded Calif car with the A.I.R. system intact.

Style
IMO the 66-70 Toros were the go to cars for style. I especially love the 68-70 GT series.
i agree with JP's comments. Sorry to those Barris fans, but way to wreck a nice car George....

Here's another Toronado that George Barris did.

I think this one is nicer, but I still prefer the styling of the stock Toronados.
