'70 429 Cobra Jet Torino
 

Pretty badass car here, I would just clean it up and drive it....

Seller gets the 'worst detail pics' award, unfortunately.

You and I seem to have a similar taste in cars. I’m not a Ford guy, but I’ve said that any Ford I MIGHT ever own would have to have a 429 under the hood. I sure like the shape and stance of a 1970 Torino. Great post...

the super cobra Jet makes it a super buy.. Its got the rev limiter , correct air cleaner and all. Sweet..

Whats it worth?
Not original motor?
I like it.......

The seller 'thinks' not the orig motor but all the SCJ stuff is there.. That car can bring some $$/ Rare

For sure Helmut...wish you lived closer, we could chase all the cool stuff that's still in the Detroit area....

This one sold for $40,000 this past October:

I see the Marti report shows this car having a Medium Blue Vinyl Bench, but it has buckets and a console... ?

Tony, I just noticed that this Torino is located in Sherwood Park, AB... only about three hours north of me. Wish you lived close, we could chase all the cool stuff that's up here!

How come the speedo only goes up to 120 and the yellow mecum one goes up to 200mph

Because there is a 66% Mecum sellers fee. :smirk:

Yes, he mentions that was changed to buckets/console at one point in the discription

US Torinos were 120 and the Canadians read to to 200 kph, I believe. Or it was swapped out with an aftermarket speedo overlay. Some guy was making higher speed one years ago

That's a beauty! The current Canadian owner hasn't seemed to have transferred it into his name since buying it in 2012. So a US buyer would have to insist he does so (meaning Mr. Alberta pays taxes at his DMV) in order to secure Canadian title , or be prepared to have a good story ready at the border as to why they don't have the same name as the Arizona person on the title.

We do not pay taxes on a newly purchased vintage car at the Alberta DMV. Any taxes would already have been paid at the Canadian border when the car entered Canada. The car would have to pass an Out Of Province inspection and be insured in order to register the car in Alberta... along with paying a $39 fee for registration as an antique.

Ah yes, "no sales tax" Alberta. Lucky ducks. He still has to title it in Canada before it can leave the country (technically ;)

Lots of unguarded logging roads on that border though...
