Since I’m an honest person and don’t want to hustle anyone, here the scoop on this car, although there is no way anybody would know even if they went over the car with a fine-tooth comb. This car started as an original 1970 J code Torino Cobra. I restored the car to how I would have ordered it if I could have in 1970. It originally was Ivy green which I stripped the entire car down to bare metal and painted it Calypso Coral, no evidence it was ever the Ivy green. It had an automatic on the floor and I installed a correct 4 speed toploader and correct Hurst shifter using the correct 4 speed hump and torched the hole exactly like Ford did. I installed the staggered shocks with an original brace in the trunk and even the brackets under the car between the trunk floor and frame I also torched the hole for the shock mount and drain holes as Ford did. No evidence that it was ever an automatic. I installed a correct N case rear with 3:91 gears from another Torino and gear reducer on the transmission. The original engine was replaced with what I believe was an over the counter 429 block before I originally purchased the car. I rebuilt the engine to 429 SCJ specs with the show rev limiter and show original smog system and original oil cooler system, original 780 Holley and SCJ air cleaner and snorkel. I did everything to make this a perfect tribute Dragpack, even purists who have looked over the car have no idea that it’s not a Ford produced Dragpack. Everything has been done exactly as Ford did and is perfect in every way. I put so much into this car and don’t want to sell it, but I just don’t have the time to get it the attention it deserves. I rarely have it out. I keep it covered in an enclosure in a climate-controlled garage. I don’t know when I’ll have time to even take it out. It needs to be shown more and get the recognition and appreciation it deserves. I would love to take it to Barrett-Jackson to try to sell it but just don’t have the time for that. So, I figure I’ll just put it out there to see if someone has the interest and time for it and willing to pay what I feel it’s worth. It’s a brand new, 1970 car with less than 40 miles on it since restored. There are so much more details of perfection about this car that I haven’t even mentioned. Please let me know if you like more info on it or want any specific photos of anything. Some photos show a 71 speedo but since I installed
