He's best known for his critically acclaimed roles as Jesse Pinkman in the hit series "Breaking Bad" and Tobey Marshall in the "Need for Speed" feature film. But Aaron Paul is more than just your dime a dozen up-and-coming movie star.
Aaron is the kind of man that likes to spend his little free time cruising on epic roads such as South California's Mullholand Drive at the wheel of his prized Lamborghini Aventador supercar or classic 1969 Ford Torino GT.

Last weekend, the carparazzi spotted the "Braking Bad" star driving his light metallic blue Torino muscle car with subtle silver lines on the sides in West Hollywood.

Being a '69 model, the Torino GT in question is equipped with a fiberglass hood scoop that integrates turn signal indicators at the rear of the scoop. Most probably, a 390 cubic inch (6.4-liter) FE V8 roars and rumbles under the hood. The 1969 fastback also sports a silver-colored vinyl-wrapped cabin, chrome side mirrors and a radiator grille finished in polished chrome.

As for the wheels, their design is inspired by the ones fitted to the "Gone in 60 Seconds" Eleanor Shelby GT500. The front appears to be wearing 225/45-17 tires, while the 245/45-17 rubber at the back takes the punishment of the engine's torque. From the picture gallery below, we can also tell that the two-tone powder coated grey and polished aluminum wheels feature chrome knock-offs and valve stem caps.

As a short reminder, Aaron drove his cherished 1969 Torino on the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of "Need for Speed", with his wife in the passenger seat. Check out what happened on that ocassion by following this link.
