Description

The Ford Fairlane was restyled again for 1970, growing again as wheelbase increased from 116 to 117 inches, length increased by six inches, and width increased by two inches. A full lineup was available, topped by the Torino Cobra. Standard on the Torino Cobra was the new big block 429 with four barrel carb and 10.5:1 compression rated at 360 bhp. Cobras came with Ford's top-loader four-speed manual transmission (capped by a Hurst shifter), competition suspension with staggered rear shocks, seven-inch steel wheels, F70-14 rubber, a black hood with locking devices, black out trim, and Cobra badging. Bench seats were standard. Engine options included the 370 bhp Cobra 429 with 11.3:1 compression, different heads, a high-lift cam, and a 700-cfm Holley four barrel carb on a high rise manifold. The 429 could also be order with functional Ram Air (which was called the Cobra-Jet Ram Air 429) but was still rated at 370 bhp.The '70 Ford Torino Cobra you see here is a wonderfully restored muscle car that comes finished in its original color combination of Bright Gold Metallic with Medium Ginger interior. Under the hood, the car comes with the famous 429 Cu In V8 with Ram Air hood connected to a C6 automatic transmission. We have a Marti Report for the car showing that this was an original Cobra Sportsroof, 429-4V car with C-6 automatic transmission and 3.00 rear axle. Original options include Rim Blow steering wheel, Power Front Disc Brakes, Power Steering, AM Radio, Dual Rear Speakers, Tinted Glass, Remote mirror and Argent Styled Steel Wheels. The paint on the car is in great condition with only a few minor spots of touchup. The Bright Gold Metallic is nicely accented by the matte black hood and correct decals on each side. Both front and rear bumpers are in great condition and appear to have been rechromed during the restoration. The stainless trim does appear to be original for the car and shows some minor pitting but no damage. The body is very straight with all panels lining up as they should and very solid. Inside, the correct Medium Ginger interior looks nearly as good as it was when new. The carpet, door panels, headliner and kick panels all appear to have been replaced during the restoration and are in great condition. The seats have been reupholstered and are in near perfect condition. The steering wheel does show some cracking as you can see in the photos. Under the hood, the 429 V8 big block is nearly identical as it would of come from the factory. The motor and engine compartment are very nicely detailed and factory correct. This is a correct, functioning Cobra Jet ram air set up. Connected to the C-6 Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, the car drives great and is a pleasure to drive on the highway with its 3.00 gears in the rear. The correct wheels are all in great condition and are wrapped with BF Goodrich Radial T/A's that are new all around. There is a matching spare in the trunk. VIN number is 0A38N108941 and the current mileage shows 62,518.
