You can check for yourself here: http://torinocobra.com/torino_vin_70.htm I'd be happy upon purchase for anyone to verify that it is in fact an SCJ, or as a Ford mechanic in 1976 told my grandpa, a "429 1/2". History of Ownership It was purchased used by my grandfather in North Dakota in 1976. He kept it since then in a barn on his farm and in 2000 brought it to Texas, where he signed the title over to me and restoration began. Title is 100% clean, there have been 3 owners all documented.
