LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1970 Ford Torino Cobra Jet
In 1968 Ford introduced the mid-sized Torino to replace the aging Fairlane, which stayed in production until 1976. It was offered in many configurations beginning with a two-door fastback or convertible, four-door sedan or station wagon, hardtop, and as finally Ranchero pickup. It could be ordered as a luxury cruiser, family wagon, or muscle car configuration. The Torino was also a major contender on the NASCAR circuit and in 1969; Ford introduced the Torino Talladega version. This limited-edition vehicle was given a more aerodynamic body style which
they then used to compete with the famous wing cars from Mopar.
This beautiful rotisserie restored Torino Cobra Sportroof was ordered on March 6, 1970 , built on the 25th then shipped to the original selling dealer before being sold on the 25th of April. It is finished in the desirable factory colour of Calypso Coral with interior in Black Turin knit vinyl bucket seats, optional Tachometer and floor console. Factory built with a “J” code 429 Cobra Jet with Ram Air, "shaker" hood, with this impressive motor backed by a C6 Cruise-O-Matic transmission and 9" rear end. The option list includes power front disc brakes, power steering and rear window defogger, with the overall look now enhanced by chrome Magnum 500 rims, raised white letter tires and rear window louvers.
As with any good Ford Muscle car, it comes fully documented from Marti Report showing its factory configuration and build details. This attention-grabbing Torino Cobra is in stunning, rotisserie restored condition. The car remains today a pleasure to drive and enjoy while still being a "show ready" muscle car.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
