Motors and Chicago Car Club are pleased to present this 1971 Ford
Torino GT! We purchased this �71 Torino GT from a gentleman in
North Dakota who had had the car sitting in his garage for many
years. Decades ago, after purchasing the car from New Mexico, he
had begun to prepare the car for restoration but lost steam and
stopped early on in the process. We're big fans of Torino GTs here
at Evolve Motors, so we purchased the car on a whim, knowing very
little about it other than the fact that it had the factory Ram Air
option. We were intrigued by the fact that the car seemed to be
very highly-optioned, but was a 351, rather than a 429 Cobra Jet.
Upon getting the car to our facility, we began the decoding and
sorting process. We ordered the Marti Report, and were pleasantly
surprised by the findings. The car was originally Light Pewter
Metallic with Laser Stripes and red vinyl bucket seats; in addition
to a four-speed manual and Ram Air option. Very cool. As much as
we'd love to restore the car and hold onto it, we've decided to
present the car as-is and offer it up as a fantastic full
restoration candidate. We've included a photo of how this car would
look as optioned from the factory. This is your chance to get your
hands on a very rare optioned GT with factory AC, Ram Air, and a 4
SPEED! Things to know: - Sinclair sticker on the windshield
indicates the car had an oil change in January of 1975 at 44,345
miles. As the odometer now reads 46,440, it is likely that the
mid-late 70s were the last time the car was in complete running and
driving order. - The car will come on the roller wheels you see in
the photos. The original wheels are not with the car. - The car has
been in dry states (New Mexico and North Dakota) since new. As a
result, metal has held up well. There is only one through rust spot
to be found anywhere on the car. It is at the bottom of the
driver's side rear quarter. Frame rails are in great shape. - The
only piece of trim that would appear to be missing is the passenger
side grill piece - Additional parts that will come with the car
include the original radio, both rocker trim pieces, fog lights,
side markers, two hubcaps, front and rear door panels, roll-up
window handles, and a variety of interior chrome pieces.
