1971 Ford Torino Cobra 429 Cobra Jet Ram Air A Rare,
Numbers-Matching 429 Cobra Jet with Factory Air Conditioning There
are certain muscle cars that simply stand apart from the crowd-and
this 1971 Ford Torino Cobra 429 Cobra Jet is one of them. Powered
by Ford's legendary 429 Cobra Jet V8, rated at 370 horsepower and
450 lb-ft of torque, this Torino delivers the kind of big-block
performance that made the Cobra name famous. The 429 is backed by
an automatic transmission and features the highly desirable Ram Air
hood and scoop. Even more impressive, this is a complete
numbers-matching example that has undergone a complete frame-off
restoration by its second owner. With fewer than 2,000 miles driven
since the restoration, this Torino presents as an exceptionally
well-finished example of one of Ford's most memorable muscle cars.
The color combination is another major part of this car's appeal.
The exterior is finished in Bright Red with a contrasting Black
hood, complemented by the aggressive Ram Air hood scoop. Inside,
the car features a striking Vermillion Red interior-a rare and
highly desirable combination that gives this Cobra an unmistakable
period-correct appearance. And unlike many high-performance muscle
cars of the era, this Torino Cobra is equipped with factory air
conditioning, making it considerably more enjoyable to drive and
adding another desirable factory feature to its specification.

exterior Black hood Vermillion Red interior Rare and highly
desirable color combination The 1971 Torino Cobra itself was a
limited-production muscle car, with only 3,054 Cobra models
produced for the model year. The 429 Cobra Jet cars represent an
especially desirable portion of that production, and factory Ram
Air and air conditioning make this particular combination even more
compelling. This is the kind of Torino that checks the boxes
collectors look for: big-block Cobra Jet power, Ram Air, automatic
transmission, factory air conditioning, numbers-matching
drivetrain, rare colors, and a documented frame-off restoration
with very few miles since completion. For the collector who wants a
legitimate early-'70s Ford muscle car with the presence,
performance, and pedigree to back it up, this 1971 Torino Cobra 429
Cobra Jet deserves a very close look. Available now at Valley
