47k Miles Shown Featured here is a stunning 1970 Ford Torino Cobra
Jet that has been under the same ownership for the last 25 years.
This car is an original Cobra Jet car as documented in the Marti
Report that will accompany the car with the sale. Originally
painted bright yellow, this SportsRoof Mustang was later
re-finished in a dark blue metallic. The paint has been carefully
applied over well-executed bodywork. The correct factory Ram Air
hood with recessed twist-lock pins is in place featuring the
correct blacked-out hood treatment. The front grille is blacked out
with the characteristic quad headlights. The rear tail panel
features split honeycomb inserts which sit just below the
low-profile integrated deck spoiler. The special Cobra decals are
appropriately in place on the front fenders and rear deck lid.
Racing side mirrors are painted body color and chrome Magnum 500
wheels wrapped with BF Goodrich radial T/A with white letter tires
finish off the intimidating style of this vintage muscle car.
Inside the black interior features bucket seats covered in black
vinyl upholstery with knit woven inserts. Between the bucket seats
sits a factory console featuring a walnut shift knob with an
embossed Cobra emblem. The carpet is protected with custom carpeted
floor mats embroidered with the 429 Cobra jet logo. The dash
features the optional factory horizontal tachometer and a set of
aftermarket AutoMeter oil pressure and temperature gauges were
installed to monitor the engine vitals. Originally this car was
equipped with an AM radio from the factory, however, a vintage
AM/FM 8-track stereo was installed, and powers two rear
deck-mounted 8 X 9 speakers. Under the hood is well-detailed and
presents nicely. The original numbers matching 429cid V8 has been
replaced with a 460cid V8 that has been capped with the correct
finned aluminum Cobra Jet valve covers and the Shaker Hood
Scoop/Ram Air - air cleaner. Power is transferred through Ford
SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic- C6 3-speed automatic transmission back
to the Traction-Lok equipped rear differential filled 3.00:1 final
drive gear. The engine rumbles powerfully through dual exhaust
fitted with chambered mufflers that exit out back through
chrome-tipped tailpipes. The underbody is unrestored but has been
lightly undercoated and detailed with black chassis paint. The
Cobra features power front disc brakes and power steering. A set of
new adjustable ride-height rear shocks have been recently
installed. This Cobra Jet Torino will be sure to garner plenty of
smiles and thumbs up as you cruise the boulevard or wheel into your
local cars and caffeine. Please call if interested or e-mail with
specific questions. Thank you for looking.
