1970 FORD TORINO COBRA SPORTSROOF

Details

Magnificent example of a '70 Torino Cobra 429 with 31,324 original miles (miles not indicated on title). 1970 was a very successful year for the Torino and it was selected as Motor Trend's “Car of the Year.” As the Deluxe Marti Report documents, this car was shipped to Roper Auto Sales, located in Seneca, SC. It was purchased new by Murray Cochran, who lived in Toccoa, GA, on November 21, 1969, as documented on the original Ford Owner Card, which is included. The original owner’s manuals are

also included. This car was ordered with the following options: electric clock, F70x14 belted raised-white-letter tires, console, power front disc brakes, power steering, AM/FM stereo radio and complete tinted glass. This car is one of only 7,675 Torino Cobras produced in 1970. It’s one of only 1,115 with this paint code and one of only 1,357 with this engine/transmission code. This car was a very original low-mileage car prior to the restoration. Many of the original parts were restored during the restoration. It was restored to a very high quality, unlike many Torinos that have been restored. It retains the original sheet metal, and the body is very straight with excellent gaps throughout. The hood, doors and trunk lid open and close so nicely. The car sports its original color of red, which fits this car very well. The paint job is beautiful and attracts attention. The car retains the original red interior that complements the exterior very nicely. The original interior is almost 50 years old and is in excellent condition. The detailed trunk compartment is home to the spare tire and jack tools. The engine compartment is factory-correct and highly detailed. The car retains the original matching-numbers 429-4V Cobra Jet Ram Air V8 engine. The engine runs and sounds great. The engine is coupled to the original matching-numbers C6 automatic transmission. The power is transferred through the original matching-numbers rear end with 3.50 gears. The entire drivetrain was cosmetically cleaned and not rebuilt during the restoration. The undercarriage is factory-correct and highly detailed throughout. This car has been serviced and completely detailed. From the MS Classic Cars Collection.
