1970 Ford Torino Cobra Jet

 

By 1970 there was a lot of pressure for the big three in Detroit to get out of the horse power race and the muscle car business.  However with the NASCAR oval still an influence in everyone’s racing agenda, Ford decided to come up with a car that would be competitive with Dodge & Plymouths that were eating up the tracks with the winged cars. 

 

In 1970 the newly designed 429 allowed Ford to stay in the game with the Torino as the NASCAR chassis of choice. The production GT Torino Cobra was marketed toward the more affluent buyer and the option list was longer with more trim d?cor levels while still offering up very stout performance numbers.  And to get a real thrill from the 429 engine was to bolt it up to a 4-speed tranny and this combination made a very HOT street package.  While it offered up room for four and a trunk worthy of carrying more then a few bags of grocery and truth be told it was not easy to get your hands on oe from your local Ford dealer.

 

While the Torino 429 with 4-speed transmission was not as well known in its day as the Chrysler Hemi product but by 1970 had been developed into a fully competitive setup with the Chrysler Corporation Hemis and in many cases could edge out the Hemi in its race form and properly setup.

 

Today it seems that the serious collectors are looking for the more rare muscle cars and not the “me too” muscle cars that were setup to look like they could perform but would fall flat on the racetrack or the drag strip.  The 1970 Ford Torino GT 429 4-speed took a backseat to no muscle car in 1970 either on the racetrack or drag strip – yet was docile enough to drive around town.

 

It also accommodate driver and passengers in a very roomy and luxurious form so that you could race on Sunday and drive it to work on Monday.  Today when you go to a muscle car show you are usually dazzled by the great number of Hemi’s and Camaro Z28 but you hardly ever see more then one Torinos 429.

 

The car for sale in this ad was restored in the 1990s and has been decoded and below you will find the decoding that matches the car up completely.  This car is in such beautiful condition it was on the cover of a calendar as shown.

 

From our research at MissChiTown the market on muscle cars seems to have leveled off yet a few muscle cars like the Torino seem to be on an accelerated increase.  We love the subtle colors and the fastback design and encourage interested bidders by letting them know that the reserve has been set at a surprisingly low number.  (The owner has requested that we not disclose the reserve in this marketing ad so please don’t ask).

 

This is one car that you can bid on with confidence and look forward to the fun of the drive and weekend shows and to say nothing of future appreciation.

More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags

Thu, Jan 12 2017

The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.

XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
