429 V-8 • Tremec 5-Speed • Vacuum Headlights • Yellow with Side Decals
The 1971 Ford Torino stands as one of the boldest expressions of Ford’s muscle car era—sleek, aggressive, and unmistakably performance-oriented. This example, finished in bright yellow accented by period-style side decals, presents a striking profile that captures the confident spirit of early-’70s American design.
Power comes from a replacement 429-cubic-inch V-8 engine paired with a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, offering the perfect blend of big-block muscle and modern drivability. Long-tube headers, an X-pipe, and dual exhausts create a deep, balanced tone that underscores the car’s performance pedigree, while BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires provide the proper stance and grip for spirited driving.
The Torino retains one of its most distinctive features: vacuum-operated hidden headlight doors that function correctly, preserving both the originality and character of the front fascia. All lighting and instrumentation are operational—with the exception of the left headlight, which may require a bulb replacement. Inside, black bucket seats and a factory-style center console frame the Tremec shifter, maintaining the authentic muscle-car cockpit layout. An upgraded JVC AM/FM/CD/AUX stereo system adds discreet modern convenience.
This Torino represents an exciting side of Ford’s performance lineup—a sharp, well-sorted muscle car with presence, sound, and style. Equally at home on display or on the open road, it’s a distinctive and rewarding addition to any serious collection.
