1970 Ford Torino Cobra Jet 429

VERY RARE and ORIGINAL; Factory N-code;429-4V Thunder Jet; 1970 Ford Torino Cobra optioned with a C-6 Automatic Transmission, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, and a Factory Tachometer!! Up until 2016, this car was a Barn/Garage Find that had been off the road and indoor stored for the better part of 30 years. I hesitate to use the word 'survivor' as it seems to be an overused term in the old car hobby this car has undergone many changes I am not sure it really fits, but this car has 'survived' through all of its early street racing days and then onto it's day to day use throughout the '70s and early 80's!! This car has just completed a three + years restoration, and she was a very solid car to start with.
This car was street raced for a time as evidenced by the High Beam Delete Cold Air Intake and the Trunk Mounted Battery Tray. My guess is that this car spent some time on Chicago's South Side engaging in some Late Night Street Fights!! I have left these items intact as a tribute to this car's Street Fighting past!! After the car was retired from it's Street Racing days it was used as a Daily Driver of sorts and then it was put away and barn/garage kept. It was tucked safely away sparing it from the elements; which is what has kept this car as solid as it is. This car was clearly a driver for a number of years before being put away awaiting the restoration she so richly deserved. Well, the restoration got sidetracked as life happened and other matters became a priority.
This Cobra was further spec'd out with the Standard Cobra mill; the N-code 429-4V 360HP Thunder Jet Engine, C6 Automatic Transmission, and a 9 inch 3.00 geared conventional rear end! This '70 Torino Cobra was well equipped:
429-4V 360hp V-8 Engine
C6 Automatic Transmission
3.00 geared 9 inch Conventional Rear
Red Exterior Paint
Black Broadcloth/Vinyl Bench Seat Interior
14 Wide Oval Belted Raised White Letter Tires
Power Steering
Power Disc Brakes
Tachometer
AM Radio
Dual Rear Seat Speakers

The N-code 429-4V Thunder Jet Engine Starts on the 1st turn of the key and has an authoritative rumble to it.
It idles nicely and is very responsive. The engine is bone stock right down to its original Intake and Exhaust manifolds complete with heat shield, engine lift hooks, Air Cleaner Autolite Carburetor. It runs incredibly well and she has plenty of old school get up and go to move this rare Cobra down the block to be admired and gawked at.
The C6 Transmission drops right into gear as it should and shifts through the gears with no issue. The bulletproof 9 inch brings up the rear and is smooth and quiet. There are many new parts that have been replaced/installed on the Cobra to get it back on the road and have it be a reliable and safe driver once again.
