WHAT A BRAND NEW 1970 FORD TORINO GT LOOKS LIKE

THIS EXTRAORDINARY RESTORATION OF A 40 YEAR OLD CAR GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF HOW THIS 1970 FORD TORINO GT LOOKED LIKE WHEN NEW. ( With exceptions to '71 grille and hood -- see comments ). NOTICE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HOW CLEAN AND UNUSED IT APPEARS AND THE DECALS AND FACTORY INSPECTION MARKINGS. THERE IS EVEN A FACTORY TYPE TAG ON THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS FRESH PAINT, INTERIOR, AND TRUNK AREA ARE LIKE BRAND NEW. NOTICE THE EQUIPMENT AND PRICE LISTING DISPLAYED IN THE TRUNK. A MIRROR POSITIONED BENEATH THE CAR SHOWS THE PRISTINE UNDERCARRIAGE. THE FORD TORINO WAS PRODUCED FROM '68 - 76 AND WERE MEANT TO EVENTUALLY REPLACE THE FORD FAIRLANE 500. THE 500 FOR A FEW YEARS ENDED UP BEING THE LOW END MODEL FOR THE TORINO. THERE WERE 13 MODELS ALTOGETHER BUT THE TORINO GT CAME ONLY IN THE SPORTS ROOF HARDTOP AND CONVERTIBLE. STANDARD FOR THE GT WERE HUBCAPS WITH WHEEL RINGS, GT EMBLEMS, DUAL COLOR KEYED SPORT MIRRORS, AND NON-FUNCTIONING HOOD SCOOP, AND BLACK DECKLID APPLIQUES. ALTHOUGH ENGINE OPTIONS RANGED FROM THE SMALL BLOCK 302, 390, OR FOR TORINO COBRAS, A 351 CLEVELAND ENGINE OR 428 COBRA JET/SUPER JET, THIS GT IS POWERED BY THE 429 CID, 7 LITRE ENGINE. THE SHOES ON THIS GT ARE F70-14 TIRES WITH RAISED WHITE LETTERS. THE CURB WEIGHT, DEPENDING ON ENGINE SIZE, RANGED FROM 3,116 - 3774 POUNDS. MOTOR TREND MAGAZINE VOTED THE '70 FORD TORINO AS CAR OF THE YEAR. ALTHOUGH THIS TORINO GT LACKS A FEW OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR 1970, THE RESTORATION OF THIS VEHICLE IS OUTSTANDING AND IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS RESTORED YOU WOULD BE CONVINCED THIS WAS AN ORIGINAL SURVIVOR.

Another very beautiful car and a 429 to boot, yeah you can tell I'm a ford guy.

@s46d45m17 This Torino is a great restoration even though it has parts on it from 1971. Great looking Ford for sure. Thanks for enjoying this Torino.

@55lincoln My dad had a 70 Torino with a 351 4 barrel. He said that thing was bad to the bone.

[55lincoln]

@Davey28car Yes, I think they were bad to the bone. Finding one today in pristine condition like this one is rare, even if restored. Most muscle cars were run into the ground and ended up trashed. Thanks for sharing and enjoying this one.

@55lincoln So true. Well. I have a 1974 Ford Gran Torino all primed grey,351 windsr 2 brl, Got screwed out of the paint or it would be awesome to view as well.

Mine has a window where the stripe goes down from the top. I'd like to think it was worth allot of money. High mileage but there's still tons of power left!

She's 85% original. At least.

@Snowman374th Sounds like an excellent project and example of these hard to find GT's that still run well and still restorable. I believe it would be awesome to view also even in it's present condition. You hang in there with this GT because you have a piece of automotive history. Many thanks for your comment and viewing this video.

@55lincoln Yeah you bet, It's sweet no doubt. I like this one too. lol

I am thinking that this may be a 1970 Torino turned into a 1971 Torino GT "tribute" car. As mentioned the hood and grill are from a 1971 but the parking lights (look white) and are for a 1970. The console is either a 1969 or early 1970 production as well. The grill supports for the 1970 were made of white metal and were extremely brittle and often broke. Just seems strange that some things "appear" wrong. Someone has put a lot of money into this car and in any event it is very, very nice.

@1968DodgePolara Possibly you hit the nail on the head. Perhaps good '70 parts were hard to find and the owner took some shortcuts. Thanks for viewing and enjoying.

Nice Very Very Nice indeed 5 stars I wonder why they just did not put a 1970 hood and grill on it with all that money put in to it must have been a very hard to fine part for it .Just wondering why ? mmm
