Vehicle Description
This 1970 Ford Torino GT has its numbers-matching 429 V8 under the
hood. So it makes this one an ultra-desirable muscle machine from a
short run of intimidating coupes direct from Ford.
The 1970 Torino kicked off a very short two-year generation that
gave us one of the coolest-looking blue ovals ever to hit the
streets. The front end was more angular and meaner than a Chevelle,
and the rear has a long fastback profile. They recessed the rear
window and trunk so that air could flow to the well-integrated
spoiler. While this was done to make a good NASCAR contender, it
just looked absolutely cool on the street version. And speaking of
speedy style, the dark hood stripe w/wide hood scoop and
full-length Laser stripes really give this GT car that added amount
of performance distinction. And the blackout rear panel complete
this high contrast look against the bright yellow paint. This whole
package strikes the right balance of a vibrant look that's always
ready to hit the streets. The form-fitting chrome bumpers, correct
badging, ribbed rockers, and Mag 500 wheels all complete a very
stock look to a very muscular coupe.
Inside is more of that great vintage appearance. The saddle tan has
a great 1970s vibe, right down to the textured inserts in the
seats. It's a well-preserved package everywhere you look - from the
smooth door panels to the correct trunk mat. Ford knew how to build
a big car that offered plenty of space, and at the same time, still
kept the driver in mind. That's why the dash is really focused on
you. The dual spoke steering wheel gives a clear view to the all
the essentials that's right in front of the driver. This is
everything from the ultra-wide speedometer to the heat/defrost
control panel. This whole presentation feels correct, right down to
the Philco AM radio that's still cranking out the tunes.
Big coupes have big engine bays, and that means plenty of room for
big block power. So that big block air grabber isn't lying, and
you're looking at a Ford with a 429 cubic-inch V8 with a
four-barrel carburetor on top. This is how this car was build from
day one, and this is still the numbers-matching motor under the
hood! Everything from the correct decals in the engine bay to the
correct red oxide paint underneath tell you this is a well-kept
car. And the way the big V8 fires up and runs really reaffirms the
quality care. It's also easy to enjoy this coupe on the road thanks
to easy driving features like a three-speed automatic transmission,
power steering, and wide BF Goodrich T/As.
Complete with owner's manual, this Torino GT is the kind of 429
classic hardtop you've been looking for, so don't let it slip away,
