1970 Ford Torino 429 Cobra Jet
VIN: 0R30C140910
Before the new generation Torino came out in 1970, the Ford Dealer
Association in Oregon got together with an idea to promote the new
body style. The special Torino would be unique to the Northwest and
601 were to be produced. Final production was 395. Available in
three colors, this one is Pacific Blue with a black hood, dual
chrome hood lock pins, dual racing mirrors, rocker panel racing
stripes and argent styled wheels, all prevalent to this model. Of
the 395 Type N/W only five were 429s and of that only one is a
429CJ. This is that car. Chrome Super Stock wheels and radials
added for effect (original wheels and covers go with car). The only
other change was to the rear differential. The 3.0 ratio was
replaced with a 3.70 gear locker. All of the original tags are
still located on the engine, transmission and rear differential.
Matching numbers. What makes this car even more interesting is that
only 12 Torino's were built total, with the non-ram air 429 Cobra
Jet (coded "C" in the VIN). Comes with cool recent photo of
original owner and salesman (now in there 80's) with the car parked
in front of still operating, selling Ford dealership.
