- 1971 Ford Torino GT Convertible 2021 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals MCACN 2021 V8TV
This is super clean 1971 Ford Torino GT convertible might look like a show car, but in reality, owner Frank and Terry Szymkowski drive this car to shows and events whenever they can. It is one of 26 built in the white and black color combination, complete with a ram air 351 under the hood and a four-speed manual transmission. We really like how the blue laser stripes add to the awesome look of the car, and we were fortunate enough to spend a few minutes with Frank to learn about the car at the 2021 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show in Chicago. (MCACN).

My cousin had a Torino when I was little. He took me for a ride once to go to 7-11 for a Slurpee and he made a hard turn and all his cassette tapes fell through the hole in the floor. I remember going back and trying to find them all. Ahh, the good old days.😄
I’m so glad you guys are back! Me and my 85 year old grandfather watched you guys all the time before he passed back in November. He really loved the cars and just the show it self. Can’t wait to see what awesome cars you’re gonna show this year!
Torinos get nowhere near as much love. Very underrated.
I've always thought this year was the most beautiful of the Torino body styles.
thank you
As a lot boy in the mid 70's I vividly remember a '71 Ranchero GT with a 429 4 speed. Even back then I knew how unusual it was, and it set in place a love for the '70-'71 Torino's...such a good looking car with Cleveland or 385 performance
My mother had a 1973 four door Torino I got to drive in high school, that thing would hold 8 teenagers no problem.
One of my all-time favorite muscle cars, just beautiful
thank you, buddy
Hi, my name is Lance I bought this car out of Brick, NJ and restored it to its present condition.
Yes you did lance! How are you? My buddy bought your 69 mach 1 too last year
@@frankszymkowski7780 I am doing well Frank thank you. No projects in the oven at this time, but I am actively looking for something cool!
Nuts how people like you put so many months and years into something like that just to watch someone else drive it away. "Gotta pay the bills" I know, but it must be so heart breaking.
Missed you guys. I once owned a 71 Torino. It was the 4 door, auto, but it had a 351 C. Souped up the engine and it was the best sleeper I ever owned. Thanks for the memory.
the combination of muscle car and convertable is
perfect to hear the V8 !!
Dad loved his '72 Torino in light yellow gold. 351 Cleveland went very well and looked great. This '71 GT rag is gorgeous and well driven, Nice to hear. People should see these great cars. Tnx Kevin -- keep 'em comin'.
Gosh sure love the old Torinos!!
Magnificent, I dont think I have ever seen a "rag-top" Torino, AND it is LOADED!
thank you
Those stripes!! Way cool!!
Thank you
Thanks Guys!! Great to see you back in action at last!!!!!
Fantastic car, Frank and always good to see you, Kevin.
always a great time to see you again, my friend
My uncle had a 70 Torino GT 351 Cleveland with the four gear orange with white interior white top
What a gorgeous car. I had a 71' ragtop in the 1980s on Long Island, and I can attest to the rust issues. These had double rockers, where the the moisture would sit between and rot away. Love it in Wimbledon white.
Thank you
Beautiful ford.
Thank you
Great commentary and review. Keep up the great work you do. But, I would like to see more coverage of Buick and Oldsmobile in the future. There is an auto industry wide lack of coverage of these makes. Buick and Oldsmobile manufactured some great muscle cars as you are aware but the total lack of industry wide coverage is frustrating. Buick and Oldsmobile should be given their due, they earned it. I would appreciate seeing reviews, comparisons, options available & 60 second and quarter mile times for these vehicles. I would also appreciate seeing your top ten muscle cars expanded to top 20. Also, expand top 20 to include the years 1966 through 1971. Thank you for your research and commentary on your videos.
only thing missing was the burnout..👌
Great car, thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you for the kind words
Love those shaker hoods.
Beautiful
Thank you
My first car…. Dad bought it brand new. Only difference was mine was not a ‘vert. Beautiful car, sir!!!!
Thank you
Tach is awesome‼️®™️
Thank you
The videos from one of my favorite car channels has really slowed down the last few months
We're working on more!
Great car 🚗
That is a beautiful car! Love the Magnum 500s on a Torino or a Mustang. I recognized the Cleveland heads, but was surprised there wasn't a "351" emblem on the shaker. Guess it's better to keep'em guessing. :)
The 351’s did not have anything on their shakers
Love your channel, keep it going.
Killer Torino!
Now I want some ice cream... she's a dream machine.
WOW‼️‼️‼️‼️®™️
Thank you
He was the only Chevy guy in a Ford neighborhood. It must have been in an alternate universe.
Actually it was bucks county pa. All my buddys had Torino’s and mustang’s
I now a old man he has one Torino gt 351 convertible yellow it has to be restored is in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Is for sale the guy ask for it 3,000
Trailer it to a show then “drive the hell out of it” . That’s hilarious.
If you knew anything about the shows I mentioned, you would understand
Are you back to the weekly Brother show???
One can dream.
We can only hope
I never heard the mention of the actual power plant was it a 351 Cleveland 351 Windsor or 428 or 429 just curious
they never came with 351 windsors or 428’s. This car is a 351 Cleveland
Would've been more impressive if it had the 429 SCJ.
No doubt
Did not make an scj in the torino in 71.
A convertible and RUST?
If it's a Ram Air 351 Cleveland I'm guessing the rear end is a 3.25 or 3.50 traction-Lock ?
What motor does it have ?
Cleveland
What engine Kevin?
Its a Cleveland
@@frankszymkowski7780 I thought so, love those engines
this is before the Torino became a dog.
Thank Biden for high fuel prices.
