Entre a chusmear y en la descripcion los gringos pusieron IKA Torino, se nota que hubo mucha compra desde la Argentina.
No me quiero adjudicar el merito por que no me corresponde pero al comparle los burletes LM-31A estuve intercambiando mails con Alex de metrompp y estaba asombrado de las consultas que tenia sobre Torino sin saber siquiera cual es el auto
We have had many requests at SEMA last year for parts for this particular car.
Can you tell me exactly what car it is?
I believe he is working on a Mid 1960's Argentina/ Australian Torino which is similar to USA made American Motors Rambler.
Ahi le respondi, le conte un poco la historia, le pegue una noticia de Nurburgring en ingles y el video de Smok donde cuenta la historia de Torino partiendo del 440H
y ahi le sugeri: no se cuantos requests de AMC440H tenes, pero te aseguro que si pones IKA Torino te garantizo que vendes mas para Torino que para 440H y parece que me hizo caso
aqui parte de mi mail
Torino was a particular Argentinian car built between 1966 and 1981 by Kaiser industries first and then it was bought by Renault
Here in Argentina Torino is a very loved car with thousands of fanatics. And it is well known only here just in Argentina.
Torino participated in the 84hrs Nurburgring race in 1969 winning it but arriving 4th due several penalizations. This caused a kind of myth surrounding Torino until these days.
Last week end we celebrated 50 years of this race.

It was based in AMC 440H, for this reason many parts between AMC 440h and Torino are the same or common. Industrias Kaiser Argentina sent one 44H to the Italian Designer Battista Pininfarina to give it a “more European look or style” and the result was the Torino.
This video (in Spanish) shows the Torino Evolution across the years starting from the 440H
the 50th anniversary celebration was in Alta Gracia Cordoba, Argentina
So, in my opinion you will continue receiving inquiries about Torino. Since is there a great momentum restoring Torinos.
It is not a bad idea to add a banner in your site announcing parts for Torino!
EN el medio le pregunte por los burletes de los ventiletes (vent window seal) y no tenian
Salud!!!!
