The 429 Super Cobra Jets aka Drag Pak included an engine oil cooler, 375 horse 429 with Holley 780, and either 3.91 Traction-Lok or 4.30 Detroit Locker diff. Thanks for the video.
I had a 1970 fastback in grabber green. It had a 351C in it. The trunk in those are big enough to put a bed in it. Sounded good when I put some headers on her.
It's funny you'd post this today when I just saw Revell USA post about it on their Facebook page earlier. Looks like a great kit and your build up looks awesome!
LOVE that blue interior. I'm gonna try that blue technique on one of my 90s Thunderbird SC kits. That blue technique of yours has answered my modeling prayers I might be able to finally replicate that 80s 90s ford blue. That Torino looks great, Keep it up man !!!!!
I'm watching your video while I'm building mine. I'll be painting mine Medium Quasar Blue with a satin white interior. I'm not building the Twister version so I'm not sanding off the side vents. As usual, another superb tutorial!
Bee You Tea build! Ford made the "real" one. You just made the best version. Great way to kick off a "Three Day". See you all at the BBQ pit - with a cold one. Thanks Chris...
Great looking build. You definitely make building look easy, but it isn’t hard to do that when you are building a great kit like this one. Revell proves again that they are the best American model company. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! REVELL, please please re issue 1962 dodge dart 440, 1962 plymouth fury and your old plymouth valiant. I dare say from us modellers point of view those would sell!
It looks very impressive Chris! Plus all excellent review. I like the idea of the side marker lights being open, I hope this becomes more standard. I'll be picking one up soon!
This is twice now that after I've ordered a kit, I've then found you vid of you building it! I had hoped it had options in building it. I prefer the GT with hidden headlights and wide tail lights.
Beautiful Torino Chris! Love the blue on blue! I am definitely ecstatic about this one coming out! I've got both Revell '76 Gran Torino's in my stash presently!
Wish they would put out a 72 Gran Torino Sport. As a kid, I thought the Starsky & Hutch "Big Tomato" was the coolest, but as an adult did care for the more formal roof and big ass bumpers of the 74 - 76 Torinos.
I'm building it now. Looks like the left quarter panel above the wheel opening deformed a little. Appears bad mold area like mine was. I had to file it flat and sand it smooth again. No puddy necessary. Love the box art .
Fantastic kit! Great choice for the interior color. White was only available on the Torino GT (hidden headlights, honeycomb taillight that spans the rear fascia) , not the Cobra (fixed headlights, separate taillights), so lovely the box art wouldn't represent a factory combo (but a resto-mod, yes!). Love the hood decal, vs what they give in the Mustang Boss 302, for example, where you have to paint part of it ... can always see a seam between the two.
The last version of this was the 70 Torino GT 2n1 it has a roll cage, headers, and a pair of slicks. But I would say get a 69 Torino Cobra for the Nascar parts, it looks like should work without too much modification if any.
@@mattfulmer4243 AMT made the 69 Torino Cobra kit you can build it stock, street machine or as a Nascar that way you got another kit to build if it don't work. The last one I got was from 2003 but they have put out another one more recently just make sure it has the parts you want.
Really well done Chris! I picked car modeling back after a 50 year hiatus. I have learned so much from watching your build/review videos. You make this hobby truly fun and enjoyable. QUESTION - do you use the floor polish on the chrome as well? Also, what chrome parts do you usually use the matte clear spray on? Thanks for all your efforts on putting these videos together… well appreciated! I’m from the mid-west as well… born and raised in Michigan/Motor City (love muscle cars and have owned several over the years). I’ve been to Wisconsin many times on business… super state! Keep on building!!!
Some interesting features in this kit, like the separate side marker lights which I don't think I have ever seen before. My shortest lived model kit ever was the old AMT 1969 version of this car, which for whatever reason didn't go together smoothly at all. This one looks a lot more promising. This Grabber Blue color really suits it, and I actually saw one of the new Mustang Mach E EVs in that same color just a few days ago.
Cool! I have an older version of this kit that came with some photo etch parts. I think it's green on the box art. I've thought about making it as an American version of the Mad Max Interceptor since they're really close in styling.
Looks great! I always add spark plug wires, and plug wire boots to all of my engines now. Just had a question though, when you use Rust oleum two times mixture of primer and paint mixed together, sometimes I’ve had issues with the paint looking like popcorn on somebody’s roof really ugly. How do you get around that? Do you just shake the can really vigorously for two minutes to prevent that from happening?
You've 'pumped-out' another stellar model Chris. The double Blue looks great! You could've gone with White or Black interior, but I think the Blue looks more interesting. Good job. 👍 🦘
ON MY MODEL , I WOULD HAVE PAINTED THE TOP BLACK AS WELL AS THE REAR DECK LID , THEN YOU WOULD HAVE A BLACK STRIPE FROM FRONT TO BACK OVER THE CAR ❤️ BUT , OPINIONS VERY DEPENDING ON EACH BUILDERS TASTE ❤️
REVELL came out with the nicest muscle cars, (Moebius now being a close second if not at par I say), AMT has a few good newer tooling ones but REVELL is really on it. Darts, Chargers, 5.0 LXs, Torinos, new tool Cudas, GTXs, Coronets, 442s, Talladegas, Thunderbolts, 68/69/71 Mustangs, all good and satisfying kits. Just hope they had gone 1/24….
I have the 2006 release I bought on eBay about a year ago, still unbuilt. Regretted buying it now that this one is out. Are there any major differences compared to the old release besides the packaging?
so its a rare option paint code car without ac, makes it more valuable. i remember the ford white interiors were very popular in those days. when i look at that car i see the mad max car i keep wanting to buy one and kit bash it to a Australian Falcon xb/gt does revel offer discounts if you buy multiple of the same kit? JK
I'm building Steve McQueen 1970 Porsche 917 LeMans #20 Gulf livery, what color of blue would you use ,having trouble finding the right shade of blue for this kit (Fujimi kit)
SHE LOOKS Sweet!! ..Nice light Blue..!...I'm doing mine in a Forest Green...
Im going to do mine in orange to go with the Twister Special decals.
Thats a very classic car Ford Torino Cobra Jet 429. 🚗🚗🚗🚗🤗🤩☺️❤😊
Looks like another home run from Revell. Well done.
Good thing I'm single - going broke buying all these great kits!! LOL Thanks Chris!
Looking forward to getting the Torino, it's a GREAT time to be a modeler!!! 👍👍
I like the blue you all way make look easy,great build

Thanks for the video.
I enjoy your build videos!
I like the colors you pick. Cant wait to get one of these!
Had a 71 Torino, not the fastback coupe, and had a 351 not a 429. This brings back memories. Definitely picking this one up.
My grandpa's car is a 71 with the 429 in green
@@curtisboorum4709 mine was green also, black vinyl top. Wish I hadn't sold it
Awesome build and presentation Chris 👏 👌 👍
Ooo weee!!! She llookin' sharp, man.
Will defenitly be getting one of those now! Sweet kit!!!

Looks very good, I like the blue you chose for the car. Thanks for the build.
Awesome build and paint Chris! What a cool kit. Gots to get me one.
Nice call going with the blue on blue. Looks legit!!
Hands down my all-time favorite muscle car.
I had a 1970 fastback in grabber green. It had a 351C in it. The trunk in those are big enough to put a bed in it. Sounded good when I put some headers on her.

Thanks for the video!
Beautiful job Chris.
The tooling on this kit is amazing
Your models are great living on a pension from service doesn't allow me to build anymore but I live vicariously through yo.
Super!!!
The hood might look cool in a carbon fiber style look
Nice color combo, looks terrific chris.
Looks great, love the colour
The Torino looks awesome my friend

Awesome ride! I wish they would release a NASCAR version of it.
There was a Nascar version of it back in the early 70s I think it was revell I remember building it when I was 8 or 9.
@@andrewmcgibbon9785 It must have had a very low production run. I have been able to score a couple of 73-74 NASCAR Torino's. A Jo-Han one and an MPC.
