As far as I kno, yes, the pure vision car and this. There is few guys doing some improvements and mods on the Torino forums, nothing on a major scale tho, believe there is also 5.4 swap done already too.

My buddy just bought a couple of 72 Rancheros
with the same front end but they will never be this nice

Very Nice looking car!
After 1971 The only Torino I liked was the '72 Sports. Had one many moons ago a 429 4spd
