For Sale: 1970 Ford Torino in Mesa, Arizona

With an outstanding color scheme that pairs striking Calypso Coral paint with razor sharp black accents, this 1970 Ford Torino Super Cobra Jet is a fine example of the more expansive muscle cars that enjoyed a surge in popularity as the '70s arrived. It's a great-looking classic, with tight, even body panel gaps and chrome trim that presents nicely. Take a lap around the car, and you'll be impressed with the deep shine of the paint and the notable absence of any dents or dings to diminish its curb appeal. The look of that Cobra Jet intake protruding through the hood while encircled by the matte black accent is a definite eye-catcher. Yep, the high-end Torino Cobra Jets really were a stylish bunch.

The black vinyl interior has clearly been well looked after over the years, so its high-backed front buckets and rear bench seat don't show the marked creasing you often find in cars of this age. Above, the headliner is still unblemished and snugly in place, while below, the black carpet lining the floor looks equally fresh. Up front, the dash area features a collection of clear factory gauges, with a straight, uncracked pad across the top, and at the center, you'll find a retro-style AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary port and Bluetooth connectivity on hand to provide you with plenty of audio options.

This vintage Ford is packing plenty of power in the form of a 460-cubic-inch V8 lurking beneath its distinctive scooped hood. Outfitted with a pair of aluminum heads and a roller cam, the engine is fed by a Holley Demon 4-barrel carburetor perched on an aluminum intake manifold and is in great running form, starting up promptly and pulling with all the strength you'd expect, given its substantial displacement. With its long tube headers leading to dual exhaust that terminates in a pair of chambered mufflers, a tap on the accelerator yields just the right deep, throaty note you'd want in a big block classic like this. The added rear sway bar increases this muscle car's agility while cornering, and with both power steering and four-wheel power brakes on board, it's also a breeze to navigate and stop.
