@@tomtheplummer7322 I remember how fast these Torino 429 Cobra Jet cars are. They could SMOKE just about any thing on the road. I had a 71 Torino GT with a 351 Cleveland under the hood and the 429 was just as quick if not quicker than mine.
@@markreisen7038 About the only Factory Cleveland that can run with a 429 SCJ was the 71 Boss 351 Mustang, that was an absolute beast in stock form. They both 2 of my favorites, 70 Torino Cobra and the 71 Boss 351 Mustang. I'll take both of them with a Top Loader. Definitely 2 of Fords Finest.
@@badass6.0powerstroke10 Yeah, no wrong again. The 1970 boss 429 and the 19701/2 Falcon 429 cobra jets were also some of the quickest and fastest fords back in the day. And the 1970 mach 1 428 cobra jet was certainly no slouch either. If i had to pick one, The 70 Mach one with the 428 cobra Jet would be my choice. I remember back in 1970 watching a Grabber orange Mach 1 being unloaded off the car hauler at Howard Ford in Beaver dam Wisconsin and wanting one ever since. Ford had a better idea, Blow off the Chuvies.
I could listen to that thing idle all day! Damn that sounds good! I really miss hearing engine sounds like that. I definitely appreciate the crazy HP modern performance cars are making, but I still prefer the sound of the old ones.
Thanks Eddie. That is one hell of a cam! WOW! That is why it sounds so good. I am glad the vids turned out so well. OMG, that FORD sounds soooo AWESOME!
@@slabbusterrtr7690 yeah the 427 was a killer motor no doubt , a little more cam and a touch more carbureration and the 427 would dig up the asphalt !. ..and a very durable motor to boot.
I owned a 70 Torino back in the 70's It was beautiful red with the laser stripes and I had mags and wide oval tires on it. A beautiful car. But mine was only a 302. This Cobra is insanely nice and I'd like to see a video of it in action!
I love the 70 Cyclone 429 SCJ. That and the 69 Cougar Eliminator BOSS 302 are my favorite Mercury's ever made. I'd love to have a 427 Marauder but those are extremely rare. I love the 427 Galaxie's but a 427 Marauder would be even cooler
@@jeremythompson9122 I got THE LUCKIEST day of my life 5 years ago-‘65 Merc Marauder just sitting...& the ex wife of the sentenced to life in prison 😖 dude was gonna SCRAP IT. It was a cosmic occurrence, I had $700 in my account and that’s what she took for it. Super straight, no rust, I rebuilt the stock 390, put a1965 Offenhauser intake with a little 400 cfm Holley, (keep that FE big block snappy😁) dual Thrush exhaust dumping under the rear axle, C6 with manual shift valve body, and ohhh lordy it’s pure joy. Especially when folks pull up on me and see Imma 48 year old woman. Gives me the happys. Marauders were a B side car, but the folks who love them LOVE THEM. Good stuff. Thank you for mentioning them!!
I agree Billy, I am a Ford guy myself but as far as I'm concerned, if it's a Mopar AGM or a Ford from the 60s and early 70s, I'm for for them because these are beast cars made by American companies. Go American 💪 muscle🇺🇸❗✔️
I definitely agree. The 70 429 SCJ Cobra is definitely the baddest Torino of them all. I like the 70 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler 429 SCJ even better. Gotta be a 4 speed too
Beautiful car! My first car was a 1971 Ford Torino dark blue. I bought it from a guy in 1977. I had alot of transmission problems with it. Seeing this sure brings back nice memories. ❤
A great performer that arrived right at the end of the party! 😞 The janitors were sweeping the floor and folding the tables when this brand new ride made its entrance. Five years later, many new rides couldn't get out of their own way.
My old freind had a c j 429 torino they seemed to work very well at sunday night's backroad races. Went on 1 quarter mile ride against a 440 . Didnt see much cause my head was pinned to the back of the seat loved it !!!!!!!
They sure did. My favorite 1970 Ford models are the Mercury Cyclone 429 SCJ and Cougar Eliminator BOSS 302. But the Torino Cobra and all the different Mustang performance packages were sweet rides too
"Maverick was cool in it's own way". Hey I have a factory 74' Grabber. and at the time the 225 horse grabber 302 option was premium. lol I may be biased but I's say a little cooler than "In it's own way".
@ Frank Johnson, Don’t mean to disagree but I had both and even the slightly modified Cleveland was no match for the 429 CJ car and it was box stock with a automatic that had a Fairbanks shift kit, and power steering and power brakes. The Cleveland was a 4 speed w/o power steering but power brakes. Even if both were 4 speeds and same rear end gears the Cleveland would be slower but both cars were great runners and very fun to drive! I miss both dearly. I now have a 68 GT Fastback I am restoring, 302 4 speed car.
@G hrvyck The 70 Torino is on a 71-73 mustang platform.. fender Aprons .radiator support . Torque boxs . Same part number. Its heavier than my 69 but pretty much the same as a 71
This was my dads 70 came from VA can't believe I found it!! He put the cobra sticker on just slightly crooked on the back and the hood was painted gloss without the flat around the scoop. If this isn't it it's a spitting image of it great video thanks for sharing!
A buddy of mine owned one of these. Black and black, just like the video, but with ladder bars, upgraded rear end, whale tail. He and I did 185 on I-5 going south near San Diego in 1977 at 2 AM... Scared the S*** out of me... Loved every second...
We had one when I was a kid. The thing was completely rusted out so my dad parked it. Later we found a '70 Ranchero with a 289ho motor. We took all the badging from the Torino and put it on the Ranchero.
there is an orange one of those sitting about 2 miles from my house .. been sitting since 1986 when the original owner passed away .. iv`e been trying to get it for 20 years .. the widow say`s her son is going to fix it .. been saying that for 20 years .. i`m about to get too old to work on it .. someone will get it for nothing one day .. i know the car well .. saw it race many times in the mid 70`s ..
@@patricksommers2277 she is in her 70`s and yes the next time i see her i will tell her i will fix the car and she will be the first person i take for a ride in it .. and will it to her son ...
428 was from the FE family. Std, Cobra Jet, Super Cobra Jet - Heavy duty crank rods etc. Ford Also did a Police interceptor 428. 429 also came as Std, CJ, SCJ. Then came the Boss.
very nice!!! i had one like in the late 70s - the cobra jet, i had put a 351 clevland in and was yellow, same wheels and such. it was a solid runner, yours must be unreal ha! thanks for the memories!!
The 1970 Torino Cobra only had 3 engine options. Standard 429 thunder jet. 429 cobra jet. 429 super cobra jet. 1971 Torino Cobra, the standard engine was a high performance 351 Cleveland. The 429cj optional.
Oh. My. SWEET LORD. 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍 Now this is pure American iconic GOLD. BLESS YOU FOR OWNING THIS CAR, Good Sir!!! The lope. The look. It’s absolutely beautiful. Perfection. Wow..... gotta soak up my drool now. What a car. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Raven Black! When it has the wet look. Can't beat it. Back window louvers. Set this car off! Comfort weave interior in Black. Great cam and exhaust sound too.
Big and bad that is the way I like them. I was around when these cars were on the streets. Too bad these days are gone. Nice example you have there sir.
I agree that they were a 'violent' car but 'promotes the patriarchy and sexism against women', wtf does that come from, I had one and it never did that for me?
Could've bought on of these back in 1975 when I was in the Marines. Came on on leave, guy had one of these and a 1970 Mustang Boss either one for $1300. Still kicking myself.
My oldest brother had one when they were new in 1970. I drove it in many street races and one of the first cars I ever drove at the drag strip. It was a really fun car.
Nice car. I had a friend back home, that had a 70 Torino Squire Station Wagon, with the factory 429 Cobra Jet. The car was the same as yours, but it was an orange with wood panel station wagon. He couldn't afford 2 cars, and he needed a station wagon for his job, so he ordered both a muscle car, and a station wagon built into one.
Wow! Beautiful Torino! When I read the title about the .772” lift cam my first thought was the FAST (Factory appearing stock tire) class. Those cars are awesome!
I like all about this car, this machine is beautiful, props to the engineer crew, the ones who build the machine and the owner of this beast. The color also fits perfectly! 😎
F.Y.I, The 1970 Ford Torino/Fairlane was voted by Motor Trend magazine "Car of the Year for all it had to offer the buying public in the SEXIEST mid size car on the market. That's why I bought my 71 Torino Gt in1981. Wish I still had this car. "Ford has a better idea. It's the going thing".LIGHT BULB!!!
I'll be honest. As a soldier stationed at a base upstate New York in '73 I managed to acquire a 1970 Torino Cobra, 429 SCJ solids, 4 spd. drag pac. It apparently was set up to run light to light in the NYC boroughs. Exhaust sounded incredible. The car only had 13,ooo miles.( I made a huge mistake when I traded my '67 firebird 400 ,TH-400 trans. ) I dropped a valve while on a road trip to Missouri, and once I found out the cost of a new head, bare - no valves or springs, I knew I couldn't afford to own it. $672.84 if I remember correctly. One beautiful red Cobra, but a lemony 2 year ownership.
No, it is still not complete enough to run at the strip. I doubt it will be this yr. I am really enjoying it on the street so far. Thanks for the comment.
I'm a big GM fan ( have owned three Ford products, and three Toyotas), but I have to admit I really like the looks of those style Torinos! Wouldn't mind owning one for sure.
At age 18 I paid $800 canadian in 1976 for a 1971 SCJ dark green Torino , drag pack C6 column shift bench from seat, monster with slip lock posi track , no air , and an am radio, lock down hood pins and 58,000 miles on it. My ride for two years. sold to pay for college. Next owner lasted 3 weeks then cartwheeled several times - total demo. loved that car.
This was at old Dominon Va. speed way nostalgia show over the summer, Thats my fathers 70 Torino Cobra has been restored with a 429 restroked to a 514 ci over 650 hp. 772 solid cam..Thanks for loving the car he sure does take pride in it. Was shocked when i came across it on here lol :-)
Had a 70, 429, manual, only 40k miles at the time.. It was dark green. I was a Junior in high school, 1983, it roasted everything the school kids had. Heh, this one softy had a 455 Firebird that might have taken my Torino but he didn't know how to drive so no worries there. I wrecked it. I was a senior, Leaving for the Navy 2 weeks after graduation. My old man replaced the Torino with a 70 Mach 1, 60k miles, 351C, manual, Grabber Orange. It was for the 3.9 GPA and not costing a dime in college. That Torino would FRY tires to the end of time, come to think of it the Mach 1 would also. Both had the same wheels
Always loved it because it was the closest to the Aussie Ford Falcon - you can tell the designers were looking at each other's work, especially the side windows
Absolutely incredible. Rare. Every one has a chevelle or a Cuda or a gto or mustang. Not too many have a torino with a 429

At age 18 I paid $800 canadian in 1976 for a 1971 SCJ dark green Torino , drag pack C6 column shift bench from seat, monster with slip lock posi track , no air , and an am radio, lock down hood pins and 58,000 miles on it. My ride for two years. sold to pay for college. Next owner lasted 3 weeks then cartwheeled several times - total demo. loved that car.
This was at old Dominon Va. speed way nostalgia show over the summer, Thats my fathers 70 Torino Cobra has been restored with a 429 restroked to a 514 ci over 650 hp. 772 solid cam..Thanks for loving the car he sure does take pride in it. Was shocked when i came across it on here lol :-)
Wow, salute to Detroit, to Ford and to you!! Well done or should I say “rare”!!
I had one back in 1974 . . 429 Super Cobra . . Identical to this one . . Wish I had it back ! !
Ford's answer to the Charger, great car, sounds good. Thanks for sharing.
Doesn't matter what brand or brands you're loyal to -- if you don't love this car you need to check your pulse.
Had a 70, 429, manual, only 40k miles at the time.. It was dark green. I was a Junior in high school, 1983, it roasted everything the school kids had. Heh, this one softy had a 455 Firebird that might have taken my Torino but he didn't know how to drive so no worries there. I wrecked it. I was a senior, Leaving for the Navy 2 weeks after graduation. My old man replaced the Torino with a 70 Mach 1, 60k miles, 351C, manual, Grabber Orange. It was for the 3.9 GPA and not costing a dime in college. That Torino would FRY tires to the end of time, come to think of it the Mach 1 would also. Both had the same wheels
my god sweeeet luv want more, the sweet sound.
Thanks Steve. It affected me the same way!
Man!!!
That cam is thumping nicely!👍🏽
my favorite muscle car
Absolutely beautiful torino
Thanks. Yeah, I love that cam thumpin'!
Always loved it because it was the closest to the Aussie Ford Falcon - you can tell the designers were looking at each other's work, especially the side windows
Beautiful i put one through a ditch a fence and the side of a barn when i was 16 i miss the hell out of that car
India didn't bring the earlier beautiful FORD cars, but entered into present new cars market.
Beautiful car. Love to track it down and see it in person sometime!
Underrated cool car. Everytime I see a all black 70-71 Torino with a Cobra Jet I feel like I'm looking at deleted scene from Mad Max. 🤷🏽♂️
