IS PROUD TO PRESENT... A 1971 Ford Torino Cobra Jet! AT NO RESERVE!!! AS MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE, I HAVE BEEN MARKETING CLASSIC CARS OF EVERY KIND FOR MY CLIENTS ON EBAY FOR OVER 10 YEARS... EVERYTHING FROM DARRIN'S TO DUESENBERGS! OFTENTIMES (AS IN THE CASE OF THIS TORINO), THE OWNER HAS PASSED AND THE INFORMATION THE FAMILY HAS PROVIDED IS BOTH LIMITED AND SKETCHY. AS SUCH, I WILL DO MY BEST TO DESCRIBE WHAT I CAN. ANY HELP FROM MY FELLOW EBAYER'S IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED! DETAILS INCLUDE: I have no idea what size the engine is or if it is original to the car. (One family member told me it was a 460 and another told me a 429.) Same thing for the transmission and rear end.The speedometer worked when we drove it to the service center and after performing some minor exhaust work it stopped. (Odometer & Title will reflect 92,000 actual miles.) The temperature gauge does not work. (After market one does) The bright light switch is stuck on high beams.Little round knob for window handle is missing. Restored approximately 10 years ago.VIN: 1A38C156078Exhaust Manifold #: DOOE - 9430 - A (I couldn't read driver's side.)Driver's side of motor: D2OE - ABThere is a very large "CP" on the rear of the engine. Transmission has a big "14" on it.The tag on the door reads: Body 63H - Col - X - Trans U or O - DSO - 21 Dark Blue Paint with Metallic - Not sure if it's original. Runs & Drives ExcellentSound Incredible! (Must have a larger cam shaft.) Family members all say that Dad was very meticulous about this car. (He worked for Ford his whole life and was a "Ford Man" through and through.He knew Bill Shenk personally (a big wig with Ford) and had him sign the car.Several chips in paint that have been touched up. (I couldn't find them without my reading glasses on.)Small area on roof has a few hair line cracks in paint. (I didn't need my glasses to find them!)Tires seem good with plenty of rubber and very even wear.Car steers straight with no issues.Power brakes and power steering.Wiper switch has a mind of its own. (Won't shut off sometimes.)Radio doesn't work.Brakes stop the car fine with no real pulling.Idled for over 30 minutes without ever overheating.Air Conditioner System seems to be missing.Small imperfection in floor pan. (See picture) Interior looks above average with no tears or rips or cracks anywhere.Same for door panels and head liner.

I HAVE LISTED THIS VEHICLE TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, BUT BEING A USED CLASSIC CAR IT IS NOT IN PERFECT CONDITION. All used vehicles should be assumed to have some degree of wear. No vehicle is perfect in any way. Each vehicle has its strengths, styles, tendencies and shortcomings. Therefore, despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle's mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer’s workmanship or previous owner’s diligence in care. It is for this reason that all vehicles are sold "AS IS". We have described the above mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability. However, with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective. Please be advised that no oral or written statements concerning any vehicle constitutes a representation or warranty of the condition of said vehicle. I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time and for any reason. DISCLAIMER As always, I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time and for any reason. I will entertain any reasonable offers, both online and otherwise, and therefore may decide to sell prior to auction ending. If I agree to accept an offer, whether online or not, the buyer must agree to consummate purchase through Ebay and abide their rules and conditions. Please note that no car is perfect. It has been driven. It may have minor wear and minor marks from being on the road. I would suggest coming to see it in person before bidding so you know the degree of wear of the vehicle. I listed this vehicle to the best of my ability. However, I am only human and could have missed a flaw. So please if you have any concerns contact me. Thank you!! Happy Bidding!!!
