Ford Torino 351 cubic inch V8 1971

Allmän beskrivning : One of only 1613 GT convertibles built. Nice restoration in great colors. Loaded with options, including factory A/C and power windows. Great-running 351 Cleveland V8 upgraded to 4-barrel carb and Shaker hood scoop. A rare piece of Ford muscle ready to rock!

Interestingly enough, we know both the second and most recent owners of this cool Torino GT convertible. It hails from Texas and the second owner is a client who recognized it in our showroom. He was living in Texas at the time and was the one who first painted it black (from the original Light Gold, a worthwhile improvement). It has since been re-restored and the current gloss black looks absolutely fantastic in person. The super straight Texas sheetmetal stands up to the scrutiny that black paint gets and the lack of laser stripes (which were optional) gives it a purposeful look. Sometime in the past, a Shaker hood scoop was added and it looks factory-installed, a tribute to the care used in the installation. It also carries optional hidden headlights which make a big difference in the Torino’s aggressive look, along with the ribbed GT rocker panel trim. Add in some beautiful chrome bumpers, sport mirrors, and that ultra-cool full-width rear taillight and you get a car that looks spectacular from any angle.

The Ginger interior is a nice change from the usual black, and in the Torino you get full-sized comfort to go with your muscle. The interior has been restored to largely stock specs, including the seats, carpets, and door panels. The dash was re-covered in matching vinyl with a French seam around the instrument panel—a nice detail. This car includes a long list of options including factory A/C, power windows, tinted glass, and a power convertible top, making it very easy to live with. The original AM/FM stereo radio has been replaced by a digital head unit with auxiliary input for your phone or iPod. The seats are comfortable and there’s room for five or six depending on how friendly you are with your companions. The black power convertible top stows under a matching Ginger boot, so it has a clean look and a glass rear window makes the Torino feel a bit more upscale than its competition. There’s also a giant trunk correctly outfitted with a plaid mat with no signs of trouble underneath.

The engine is an H-code 351 Cleveland V8. The H-code was originally equipped with a 2-barrel carburetor, but this one has been upgraded to a 4-barrel living under a factory-correct Shaker hood scoop. The engine was rebuilt to otherwise stock specs and runs beautifully—nice torque and very street-friendly manners. It wears Ford Blue engine enamel and a set of Ford Motorsport finned aluminum valve covers, and the little details are right, too: wire hose clamps, an Autolite battery topper, and correct finishes on things like the hinges and brackets. The A/C system has been converted to R134a refrigerant, to it’ll be easy to maintain in the future, although the big compressor dominates the engine bay. It’s backed by a C4 3-speed automatic transmission and 3.00 gears in the 9-inch rear end, so it’s an easy cruiser that lets the 351’s torque do the work. The rest of the undercarriage is largely original, but as a lifetime Texas car, rot is a non-issue and the important areas like the rockers and torque boxes are solid. You will note rebuilt front suspension and power steering components, power front disc brakes, and a mellow-sounding dual exhaust system. Magnum 500 wheels are always the right choice on a muscular Ford, with these carrying correct G70-14 Firestone Wide Oval tires.

Documentation includes a Deluxe Marti Report and photos of the car in original condition.

This car struck a chord with us. It’s not only rare, but it delivers that perfect combination of performance and comfort that makes it an ideal hobby car. It’s fun to drive for anyone and asks for very little, yet attracts crowds wherever it goes simply because few people have seen one before. And it’s priced thousands less than a comparable (and more common) Chevelle or GTO. Give the Ford a try and we think you’ll be impressed. Call today!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
