Just about anything a guy 'stumbles onto' from 68 will need some work. 68 Toros are an incredibly nice car, but hard to find parts for. The W34 was a very limited production run. If you have something that you can work with, go for it! And yes, pics would be a great help.

What color is this beast? If it's an Aegean Aqua, IMO that was one of the best colors on that year.

Don't know much about it the photo was incredibly bad and included lots of brush. I think there may be up to 85 vintage cars on the property, though.

That's sad. If it's in the boonies and brush (read tall grass too) chances are the whole bottom of the car is shot. Grass wicks moisture up to anything it touches and rusts it badly. Hope it was AZ, NV or some parts of OR where the weather is fairly dry....
