1970 Ford Torino

ROAD ROCKET -

8 - Cyl.

Automatic

Gasoline

THIS IS A REAL MUSCLE CAR! Its powered by a very strong and good running 429 engine. Its connected with a C6 automatic 3 speed transmission. It drive great with power steering and stops on a dime with power disc brakes. The paint is exceptional, it is better than factory and shines like a red ruby. The glass is clear and the bumpers are freshly re-chromed. VIN: 0A38N106443 MILEAGE: 63259 that we think may be original. HSITORY: Car belonged to a very nice local contractor. He had a large Ford collection, in this bad economy he sold some of them off. My friend Danny Pryor bought this car “I’m listing it for him”. TITLE: Clear Tennessee title in hand. IS THERE ANY RUST PROBLEMS? The paint and exterior show none, the floors are under-coated from the 70s and they look good. Past owner did recoat some places when the car was painted, but the underside looks solid. IS THERE ANY ACCIDENT DAMAGE? None that I can find. IS THIS A REAL GT CAR? It has GT in the grill, the hood scoop and the past owner thought it was. Run the VIN and see, I'm not an expert on GT Torinos. PAINT: You will not complain about the paint! It is nice! The paint has a brilliant shine, it is smooth with no orange peel and no dry sports. When you look down the sides of the car it is straight, “the paint is super nice”. CHROME: Freshly chrome front and back bumper, the stainless around the windshield and back window is nice, the 1 inch wide chrome at the bottom of the side windows is dull and pitted, the door handles do have some pits, the roof rail stainless is good. GRILL AND TAIL: The grill is great, the tail light lens great and other tail light pieces nice. INTEROR: The seat covers carpet, head liner and door panels are all good, but not brand new. The dash pad is original and has some cracks. The steering wheel is good, but not original. GLASS: Good glass, the windshield is new and side windows roll up and down good. SOUND SYSTEM: Original radio comes on and make noise, but not working. ENGINE: Engine is a real 429 Thunder Jet that runs strong. It has no unwanted noise, no blue smoke and no bad oil leaks. The engine is sound! TRANSMISSION: Nice shifting 3 speed automatic, the selector is a little off, but works good. BRAKES: Nice stopping power assisted brakes with disc on the front. STEERING: Power steering, the car drives good. WHEELS AND TIRES: Nice old school Crager SS wheels, with Bf Goodrich TA radial tires, they are 14 inch. LIGHTS: They work. WIPERS WORK! SPEEDOMETER WORKS! GUAGES: The gas gauge works, the temp is not working. HOW DO THE DOORS AND HOOD OPEN AND CLOSE? Good. PAPERWORK: I know what to do! I am a Tennessee licensed car dealer and have sold cars all over the US and exported many. The license and bonding is expensive for a small father/son operation, but need to make things legal and make them happen without problems.

It cost me around 3%, so you will have to add 3% to the price. INSPECTIONS: Please come look and be happy. All inspection have to be done before the end of the listing.
