On “My Car Story” we're in Rosemont IL at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals on 11-17-23.
We’re looking at a 1970 Ford Torino GT Convertible in Orange Paint. The car comes with a 429 CI V8 Cobra Jet engine with a 4 Speed manual transmission.
The car's Owner is Joe Micklos. Joe’s had this car since 2019. Joe shares he likes Mustangs as a kid, but when he grew up he didn’t fit in them, so he went to the bigger Torino. This car looks showroom new.

Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou
now thats a very rare car lou and what a beauty. thanks a lot for showing it to us.
Happy to read you appreciate the rarity of this car :-) You're welcome sly 23.
Glad it's getting love, thanks
The orange grabs your attention and the laser stripe gets the vehicle to look that it is in motion. And then that engine. Oh, my! The styling on this Torino on the outside is stunning. I've never been fond of the interiors of these Torinos as it seems to be too plebian for the exterior styling. My Dad had a 1968 Torino GT fastback and it was a glorious car with an interior that wasn't so humble. I too love those hidden headlights. You've done it again, Lou! Great car!
Hi ultraviolet tp, ....And then that engine...NICE! My pleasure sharing with you :-) Lou
The man has a beautiful example of a Ford Torino GT time piece.
I agree.
Thank you, it's one of my favorite convertibles.
Beautiful Torino GT with all the right stuff ! Great color too ! Thanks for posting Lou !

You're welcome lyonheart84 exotic fruit growing. Happy to read you appreciate the rarity of this car :-)
Great find Lou. Great car, amazing restoration . Very similar to my high school car. Bench seat, 4 speed. Ribbon tach, laser stripe. No hidden headlight. Mine was a fastback, with shaker hood, but was blacked out. Factory louvers.
Happy to read you enjoy this car Scott :-) Glad to read this car brings back memories of your High School car. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Out of the box!!
Nicely shown.
Thanks, JPK
You're welcome JPK

I know these cars like the back of my hand . And yes , the steering wheel emblem is upside down ! Thanks for sharing ! Always a pleasure seeing your videos !
Hi Sparky the Detroit Doggo, Happy to read this brings back memories of your Moms car, Brothers car, and your 3 cars :-) My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
WOW! That is a beautiful "new" car! You have shown us a few great restored cars that as picky as I am that I couldn't find a flaw in it! What a treat! Thanks, Lou!!
High praise. You're welcome Jon!!
Thanks John, we put forth our best effort!
Very nice Torino! Great colour and stripes. Beautiful restoration.
It looks showroom fresh. No bad angles is right.
Thanks Lou!
Hi Jeff, "It looks showroom fresh" Like it just came off the showroom floor :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you. You're welcome! Lou
Thank you!
I'm an Olds, not a Ford guy, but "Wow, just wow!" AMAZING vehicle. Thank you, Lou, for bringing us all these gems like you do. It allows me (and many others like me!) a 'vehicle' (LOL) to enjoy the autos from our youth that we once owned, or always wanted to own. As I am retired and unable to garage or work on anything, I can enjoy them vicariously by watching your delightful channel. Thank you for putting in all the effort and doing the work for others to enjoy! It is appreciated!
Hi CIAVE, High praise. My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
Thank you
Beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks Lou!
Happy to read "Beautiful" :-) You're welcome motorTranz!
Fantastic Lou. What I find interesting is that as with the Cougars of the era, the design of the front end and rear end mimic each other.
Happy to read "Fantastic" Audie :-)
What a great stripe & color combo, and hideaway lights, too. I don't think Mr. Micklos will outgrow this one, especially with the top down, and I'm sure glad we got to meet him and see this one from his Torino collection. Thanks, Lou!
This one has all the correct boxes checked. You're welcome TheGunfighter45acp!
Thank you sir!
@@threedwizard1 You're welcome! What a great Torino! 🇺🇲
Beautiful 1970 Ford Torino GT Convertible in that bright orange color! How good did that "Ram" air intake on the hood look and its striking reflective, or laser, side stripes, which end just behind the doors with those 5 pieces and chrome GT letters. Perfect combination of black interior, seats and instrument panel. Impeccable engine compartment, with the large block 429 V8 Cobra Jet engine. Excellent sound produced by its exhausts; In fact, when he accelerated for the second time, I almost went deaf! Ha ha. And, of course, its attractive retractable highway headlights and horns working perfectly! Good vibes Mr. Micklos; So I congratulate you for this gem, and for the rest of Torinos, which, for sure, must be very well cared for! Best regards, Lou!
Hi Jaime, Happy to read the details you enjoy with this "gem" :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Thank you Jamie!! It's a fantastic ride, and it does rip!
Super rare and a real knockout too. Wow! Appreciate the really nice video fellas.
Hi Bruce H., Happy to read you appreciate the rarity of this "knockout" :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you, Lou
Thank you!
Nice to see a convertible not many survived love the 429 Cobra jet sounds lean and mean
My pleasure sharing this convertible with you.
Beautiful Torino Lou thanks for the great video.
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this Torino :-) You're welcome Leroy.
Hey big bro Lou! You got me all "Starsky and Hutch" with this one, big brother. Ya also got me in my tubesocked stocking JV baseball jock feet as my brand new floppy (still) lily white DC's are hanging on the rear view mirror of Joe's beautiful Ford Torino, man 🤪. Yeah, I know Hutch and Starsky drove a Ford GRAN Torino, but since those 2 guys were like gods to me when I was a little boy-my heroes and we used to portray them 24/7-and since David Soul recently passed away, that's all I could think about watching this awesome video. The styling of this Torino GT just knocks me out, Lou (which happens often😵) ......Those hidden headlights are demonically (superhero Hell Boy and not a mean one) cool and sinister, long lines just beautiful (can I touch?!) and of course the full width Torino taillights-man, that is one beautiful girl 😁😜! And the exhaust sound 100% matches the sinister front end. So hot, man! Thanks for featuring this wonderful piece of all-American nostalgia, big bro. We need the inspiration these days for sure! And RIP David Soul. Miss ya, Dad....JVJohnny ⚾⚾
Hey JV Johnny, Happy to read this one brings back fun Starsky & Hutch memories :-) Glad to read you enjoy the sounds from this car. My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
One of my favorites you’ve done so far! As a hideaway-equipped ‘70 Torino owner myself, I applaude this😎👍🏼 Beautiful car!
Happy to read "One of my favorites you’ve done so far!" :-)
Thanks!
Stunning front end Lou!!!
Happy to read you enjoy the from of this car Popie :-)
Never been a fan of orange cars...now, I'm a fan. The lights even opened simultaneously! Best...when you asked him to give it one more rev...he actually delivered. Some seem to be shy..not Joe..awesome car!
"Never been a fan of orange cars...now, I'm a fan." NICE!
Built the motor to run hard!
Great find Lou

Thanks you
Sweet Torino GT!
Happy to read you enjoy this "Sweet" car :-)
@loucostabile Big time FORD enthusiast even though I own a '69 Firebird. Can you do a show or something about the Mercury Cougar Eliminator?
Nice 😊
Hi Michael, Happy to read "Nice" :-) Lou
Great video! I love Joe and Angela's car! Mine is the twin except it's a 351c (mine is 1 of 182). I wish you would have touched more on just how rare that car is compared to other Torino's as there were only 3939 convertibles made to begin with, and having a 429 cj is something you just don't see even being heavily involved in the Torino world. I run into people who didn't even know they made a Torino convertible.
Hi Rusty Dreams Garage, Happy to read "Great video! I love Joe and Angela's car!" :-) Glad to read you have the twin. Lou
Класне авто! Колір, діски, салон, двигун! Дякую!
Hi Сергій, Happy to read you enjoy this "Cool Car" :-) You're welcome, Lou
+1 .. Down memory lane. .. .. .. And the 429 V8 actually fit. .. Tight sqeeze. .. .. ..
Happy to read this one brings you down memory lane :-)
It's shoed in tight, thanks.
Torinos are great. Especially this gen. So much nicer than the Starsky and Hutch gen
Happy to read "Torino's are great" :-)
I hope you did a video on the '69 Cougar XR-7 next to it.
No Caretaker to be found.
scene stealer ‘70 orange 442 convertible @6:15 with white ragtop & interior
Hi Rich, Thanks for sharing the one that caught your eye. Lou
Absolutely awesome car. However, the stance seems a bit off - side view - the rear end seems low and the front end high.
High praise.
The car is dead level. It's the illusion caused by the front wheel well being taller than the rear ones. Thanks!
I wonder if a rear spoiler is available on the rag top ?
I wouldn't see why not.
They weren't an option, but many people put the Mercury Cyclone Spoiler wings on.
👍🔥😎🔥👍
:-)
This was an uncommon car even when new.
You're right.
That tach is so cool, beautiful car. 1-17. Wow.
Thank you for sharing what you noticed.
