1970 Ford Torino Cobra Jet

 

By 1970 there was a lot of pressure for the big three in Detroit to get out of the horse power race and the muscle car business.  However with the NASCAR oval still an influence in everyone’s racing agenda, Ford decided to come up with a car that would be competitive with Dodge & Plymouths that were eating up the tracks with the winged cars. 

 

In 1970 the newly designed 429 allowed Ford to stay in the game with the Torino as the NASCAR chassis of choice. The production GT Torino Cobra was marketed toward the more affluent buyer and the option list was longer with more trim d?cor levels while still offering up very stout performance numbers.  And to get a real thrill from the 429 engine was to bolt it up to a 4-speed tranny and this combination made a very HOT street package.  While it offered up room for four and a trunk worthy of carrying more then a few bags of grocery and truth be told it was not easy to get your hands on oe from your local Ford dealer.

 

While the Torino 429 with 4-speed transmission was not as well known in its day as the Chrysler Hemi product but by 1970 had been developed into a fully competitive setup with the Chrysler Corporation Hemis and in many cases could edge out the Hemi in its race form and properly setup.

 

Today it seems that the serious collectors are looking for the more rare muscle cars and not the “me too” muscle cars that were setup to look like they could perform but would fall flat on the racetrack or the drag strip.  The 1970 Ford Torino GT 429 4-speed took a backseat to no muscle car in 1970 either on the racetrack or drag strip – yet was docile enough to drive around town.

 

It also accommodate driver and passengers in a very roomy and luxurious form so that you could race on Sunday and drive it to work on Monday.  Today when you go to a muscle car show you are usually dazzled by the great number of Hemi’s and Camaro Z28 but you hardly ever see more then one Torinos 429.

 

The car for sale in this ad was restored in the 1990s and has been decoded and below you will find the decoding that matches the car up completely.  This car is in such beautiful condition it was on the cover of a calendar as shown.

 

From our research at MissChiTown the market on muscle cars seems to have leveled off yet a few muscle cars like the Torino seem to be on an accelerated increase.  We love the subtle colors and the fastback design and encourage interested bidders by letting them know that the reserve has been set at a surprisingly low number.  (The owner has requested that we not disclose the reserve in this marketing ad so please don’t ask).

 

This is one car that you can bid on with confidence and look forward to the fun of the drive and weekend shows and to say nothing of future appreciation.
