Vehicle Description
Lot #631 - Magnificent example of a '70 Torino Cobra 429 with
31,324 original miles. 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.
