You are looking at a VERY RARE ORIGINAL Factory S-code 390-4V 1969 Ford Torino GT Sportsroof optioned with a C-6 Automatic Transmission, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Bucket Seats and Center Console!! This car while needing a full restoration, is an extremely worthy candidate with it's desirable option list and Big Block Powertrain!! This is an ORIGINAL 1969 Torino GT that has spent it's entire life in the North Georgia area cruising the streets of Dalton, Georgia America's Carpet Capital as a very cool and stylish Big Inch Muscle Cruiser! This car was a driver for many years before being put out to pasture on the back forty. The Torino ended up being parked as a someday project and forgotten about while waiting for the next Torino enthusiast to come along and restore this car to its former glory!! This car was a Stock order at Burnette Ford in Dalton, GA and ordered in the extremely popular I-code Lime Gold Metallic with a matching Ivy Gold Vinyl Bucket Seat Interior. This GT was further ordered with the very strong optional 390-4V 320hp IP (Improved Performance) engine, C-6 Automatic Transmission, and a 9 inch 3.25 rear end! I have had a number of these over the years and this is the only one I have ever seen with a HOOD SCOOP DELETE option on it. Since the Hood Scoop was standard as part of the GT equipment group in 1969 it has to be a rare occurrence for someone to delete this item as Ford would not offer a credit back when deleting a standard item!! This '69 Torino GT Sportsroof was well equipped and per the Deluxe Marti Report originally ordered as follows: 390-4V 320HP IP V-8 Engine C-6 Automatic Transmission3.25 9 inch Conventional RearLime Gold Metallic Exterior PaintIvy Gold Vinyl Bucket SeatsCenter ConsoleF70-14 Wide Oval Belted White Sidewall TiresVisibility GroupPower SteeringPower Disc BrakesAM RadioDeluxe Belts/Warning LightDual Rear Seat SpeakersTinted GlassHood Scoop Delete The S-code 390-4V IP engine seems to be relatively intact and has it's '69 390 IP/GT components to include it's original and unique one year only C9ZE Intake, 390 IP/GT heads with Correct 390 GT Exhaust Manifolds & heat shield, Chrome Power by Ford Valve Covers, etc. The car had been sitting for many years (the last inspection sticker is from the early 80's) and it the previous owner recently started to convert the car to electronic ignition to make the car a runner again; but that is where the project stalled. I have not attempted to get it running, but it is pretty much all there and does not look like it would take much to get it fired. The Floor Shift C-6 Transmission is intact and appears to be all original. The bullet proof 3.25 geared 9 inch brings up the rear and also is original to the car. The car looks to have had one repaint over the original Lime Gold paint and appears to have been just your typical respray from back in the day. It had a 1/4 section done way back in the day on the driver's 1/4 and it will need to be redone as it was old school country body shop work and not the kind of restoration work that is done today. The Body on the Torino while not perfect is actually fairly solid. The Hood, Fenders, Doors, Trunk Lid and 1/4's are all pretty decent on the car. The hood while solid has a bow in it from a sticky hood hinge and it will need to be repaired. The Frame Rails, Rockers, etc. are all ROCK solid on this car. There are some small rust holes in the 1/4 panels, but nothing too bad. The trunk drops on both sides are very good on the car as is the inner trunk area itself. The fuel tank will need to cleaned out or replaced as it has been sitting a very long time. The Front Floor pans have some rusted areas, but they are not horrible and completely falling out of the car. You could section them or if you choose just put a complete replacement pan in. While certainly not perfect; nor a rust free car by any means; the rust repair that does need to be done is cosmetic and not structural unlike so many of the projects you find from the North East and Rust Belt States. The fact that this car remained here in North Georgia all these years with our moderate climate helped to preserve the bones on this car so it could live to fight another day. The Bucket Seat/Console Interior for the most part is all there and while it does show the years of wear and tear; all of the pieces are all good serviceable/restorable pieces. The original AM radio is there although not connected. The dash is original and uncut. Car will need carpet and a headliner. The GT Wheels and Mickey Thompson Tires shown on this car ARE NOT A PART OF THIS AUCTION. These are off my '69 Cobra and I am just utilizing them to move the car around and for photographic purposes. The car will have its ORIGINAL GT Wheels reinstalled at time of delivery. Please be realistic in your expectations of this car as a 45+ year old project car needing complete restoration to include rust repair, mechanical work, and cosmetic reconditioning. Overall this is a pretty complete and original 1969 Torino GT with a Big Block Pedigree that is a solid restoration candidate. There are lots of picked over rusted out carcasses out there; but complete do-able cars such as this that are not rusted to death and missing a bunch of pieces do not come along very often. Especially one's with an option list like this one has!! If you have been looking for a Big Block Torino GT to restore then don't hesitate on this one; as is it may be sometime before another suitable restoration candidate such as this comes along again!
