Call Chris at 330-990-6970 *** This Torino was manufactured in the Atlanta factory in July of 1969 in the midst of the muscle car wars. It sat on the lot at AJ Loudon Ford in Salem, Ohio for roughly Seven months before the original owner handed over the cash to drive it home. We have the original Ford Owner Card, Original Build Sheet (Found Inside Car During Restoration), Original Buyers Invoice and Original Title when this car was sold new. This car was loved by the original owner as well as the service manager at AJ Loudon who kept tabs on it and performed maintenance throughout its life. The car remained in decent shape, even before its comprehensive restoration. When the Service manager at AJ Loudon heard that the original owner was considering restoration, he knew it was time to convince him to sell the car to him so he could put this vehicle back to its original condition for concourse shows and judging. The vehicle than changed hands and was in the hands of the Service Manager who has known the car since new. From this point the car underwent a full, no expense spared, nut and bolt, rotisserie restoration that took 2 years to complete. The car is correct inside and out. It was finished back to the original Candyapple Red (Ford #2008-A) paint, this is one of just 681 documented Cobras ever built to wear this color brand new. The all steel body is Pristine with perfect gapping and Laser straight finish. The paintwork is Immaculate and shows well from every possible angle. Underneath the car is finished with the same perfection as the rest of the vehicle with each panel flat and factory correct, given the size and shape of those panels, that’s awfully important on this car. Fit and finish is well above what the factory offered. This car has smooth operation of doors, trunk and hood. It also maintains even gaps all around. While most enthusiasts are probably more familiar with this car’s sloped siblings, the vinyl-covered Formal Roof lends a sleeper vibe that even a fastback couldn’t pull off. Complementing the sea of Candyapple red is a tasteful array of trim pieces with a few subtle badging to let other drivers know this is no ordinary Torino. Up front, a black rectangular grille is wrapped in stainless trim with a pair of headlights anchoring either side. Turn signals are built into the fenders, neatly worked into the stainless trim that ties into a body-hugging chrome bumper. The hood scoop is the first real indicator that this is no regular grocery-getter. Combine the fresh “Cobra Jet 428” badges on either side of that scoop with the Cobra emblems found on the front fenders and any basic gearhead knows this car packs a punch and is the Real Deal. The vinyl top looks great as does the glass and stainless trim incorporated into its gently sloping shape. Out back, squared taillights anchor a “Ford” emblem and one final Cobra emblem. Another tightly fitting chrome bumper rounds out the rear end. Lift the hood and you’ll find the original R-code 428 Cobra Jet V8 which displays a correct casting number and matching 9A45R289233 partial VIN. While Ford brass rated these engines at 335, they probably had a hard time keeping a straight face. Real world numbers were closer to 400hp, allowing this sizeable car 13-second quarter mile passes with some basic tuning. At full throttle, the flapper valve opens, drawing cool air through the correctly decaled air cleaner cover and into to a C90F-H Holley four-barrel carburetor. The original intake manifold remains in place between a pair of Cleveland heads dressed in finned 428 valve covers. The powerplant breathes through cast iron manifolds that exhale into the dual exhaust system. Looking around the bay, all the usual parts are here including the stock front mount oil cooler, relocated horn, Autolite-branded hoses and a tagged Autolite Sta-Ful battery. Peek underneath to find an exceptionally clean undercarriage with satin black floors. This car drives smooth down the road with the C-6 Cruise-O-Matic Transmission. From there, power is channeled down the driveshaft out to the Ford 9-inch Traction-Lok differential. An original Drag Pack car, this Torino left Atlanta with 3.91 gears. The suspension remains in stock form with double A-arms at the front and parallel leaf springs out pack. Look closely and you’ll note the correct stock staggered shock configuration is in place out back. Braking is an easy process with power disc brakes up front and power drums in the rear. The chassis meets the road through a set of Argent styled steel wheels wrapped in the correct Goodyear Polyglas F70-14’s that further the cars sleeper look. Between those sizeable doors, a black vinyl interior with Bucket seats offers the one thing many basic muscle cars didn’t have – comfort. While the Bucket front seats may not look like the lap of luxury at first, a brief stint behind the wheel will unveil how comfortable they really are. From that seat, it’s easy to admire the simple but effective details that made this Cobra stand out from the crowd. At the ground level, fresh black carpet covers the rock solid floors, while an equally nice headliner lines the roof. This car was ordered with Tachometer and the dash uses individual gauge pods versus a standard cluster, making it look more modern than other cars of the day. In those pods, factory gauges keep tabs on basic items such as speed, revs, fuel, temperature, oil pressure and voltage. Functions such as lights and windshield wipers are controlled by attractive chrome pulls, while the AM radio sits just to the left of the ignition. Behind the cabin, a nicely restored trunk features a correct style mat, spare tire and lug wrench. Documentation Included With this Car: -Original Ford Owner Card -Original Build Sheet -Original Buyers Invoice -Original Title -Elite Marti Report which breaks down the car to a 1 of 1 based on selected options -Owner’s manual that explains each of the car’s functions as interpreted by Ford’s marketing department. There simply aren’t that many chances to own a true 1 of 1 car – especially at this money. With the Super Cobra Jet and smooth Shifting Cruise-O-Matic, the car is guaranteed to be a blast to drive as well. If there’s room in your shop for a mint Ford to add to your Private Collection, for a Museum Piece, National Concourse shows or as weekend toy, this 1969 Torino Cobra is Truly Pristine and Worthy! *** Have Questions?
