Vehicle Description
Long, sleek, and stylish, Ford had a winner on its hands with the
1971 Torino GT. So when you can find one that is well presented and
thoughtfully upgraded (like the new overdrive transmission) then
you've got a great cruising coupe at an obtainable price.
This real-deal Torino GT is a true prize for muscle car collectors.
The Chevelles looked great, but these rarer blue oval coupes
captured the style even better. This was given the time to develop
some of the most interesting body lines put to sheetmetal. For
example, the sharp crease that starts on the front fender's
overhang progresses into a wave that continues past the door.
Finished in an aggressive red, this one has all the right elements
like the form-hugging bumpers, large pillarless hardtop profile,
and a hint of flying buttress off the rear. But what people really
love are performance styling cues. Up front it's the blacked-out
hood, large scoop, and the optional hidden headlights. Out back the
the streamlined trunk with integrated ducktail spoiler was truly a
NASCAR inspiration for the road. It is all capped off with those
unmistakable Ford Magnum 500 wheels.
Inside this is premium and roomy. The parchment interior is nice
with the seats, door panels, and headliner all looking quite
bright. Plus, plush black carpeting means you never have to think
about dusty shoes before hopping in and going for a ride. So that
makes this coupe easy to share with family and friends. In fact,
while it's intermediate-sized by 1970s standards, today this Torino
GT will seat six people with ease. But even when it's just you
going for a solo drive, this Torino is easy to enjoy. The big, wide
instrument panel puts all the controls right in front of the
driver, including the heat/defrost controls and the factory AM
radio that's still on display. And there are also nice upgrades
that come with the sale, like a new trunk mat and a Bluetooth radio
with upgraded speakers.
When you lift the hood, the unmistakable big blue block of a Ford
V8 greets you. With the valve covers and air topper also dressed in
bold blue, this is a true standout. But your're also attracted to
this one by how fresh it looks, and that's no accident. There was
an investment to rebuild this 302 cubic-inch V8 around 400 miles
ago. So it looks just like the day it came out of the Atlanta
factory. In fact, the Autolite carburetor is even date correct to
fit in this car's timeline. But more than just getting it back to
factory standards, the V8 was upgraded with a set of long tube
headers to add power and rumble to this GT. And the investment
didn't stop there. The whole front end has been upgraded with a new
suspension with tubular A-arms, urethane bushings, and a thick sway
bar. Plus, the transmission is now a four-speed automatic with
highway-friendly overdrive. Add in power steering and front disc
brakes, and this Torino coupe is the confident choice to drive near
or far.
A great design, great upgrades, and a great price - you're going to
need to hurry if you want to take this one home. Call today!!!
