For anyone wondering, this is what has been taking up all my time lately. My 1969 Ford Torino GT. It is a R code car, meaning it is a factory 428 Cobra Jet Ram Air car. I did sell the FXR, but got another new toy to play with too.
FXR with S&S V111 FXRD Fairing POV

POV of my FXR. Just a quick ride. Had a pretty comical miss-shift in there, that I decided to leave in. It happens.
FXR vs. Road Glide long distance. Which do you prefer?

Just going over the differences in how I pack both bikes, and which I prefer for solo trips vs. two up.

How do you like the ST over the FXR?
@@Mcassino92 I honestly do not like the ST more than the FXR. It is a fine bike, but doesn’t have a lot of personality compared to the FXR with the V111.
Rode 10k miles x country on an 85 FXRS and loved the stock seat and it was hands down the best trip I have taken on a bike as well. Just had a windscreen and very similar bag set up as well.
AWESOME, I HAVE ONE IDENTICAL, LOVE IT!
Missed that shift. I hate that lol.
lol it’s the worst! 😂
How much did this build cost
Hey mate) super clean and not over simple view, nice job! How is it going with motogadget m-unit? Is it alive? I’m wondering how it holds vibration
@@alexeybobok man, you gotta check out the other videos after this one on this bike. LOTS changed. The M-Unit is awesome. S&S V111 in the bike now and vibration is no issue.
@@magz7274 yeap, already watched some more) i have evo softail which is NOT rubber mounted and wonna rebuild wiring with motogadget. My current controller is fully custom hand made circuitboard with self made software and im a bit tired of it) found couple harley projects with m-unit…
@@alexeybobok I definitely recommend the m unit blue.
Love the car, and the color. These are some of the cars I grew up with, I was 13 yrs old in 1969. Always thought these Torinos were cool. We have a '73 Mach 1, yellow and black, and it really shows up coming down the road. We enjoy taking it to car shows and cruise ins, and tinkering on it. Got some more things I want to do to it, but it's been something my wife and I enjoy doing together. Great job on your restoration.
Was a TwinCan swap ever in consideration before going withe V111 ? If you've riden both motors how would you compare them?
I never really considered the twin cam swap because I won this V111 in a raffle and didn’t have a spare Twin Cam lying around. I had a 117 twin cam in my Dyna Low Rider S, and I liked it a lot. I think the power is just different. The V111 felt like it had way better low end torque. The twin cam had better high rpm response. I prefer the V111 for my riding style but wouldn’t hesitate to do a twin cam swap if I had one available.

hi Eric, still for sale? Best way to get in contact? Thank you.
Sold it about a year ago for 25k.
Sweet!
I wonder could i put a ss 111 in a late model dyna frame.
Depending on the year u can just do a 100ci or 107-110 CI kit, super stock heads and pair with flywheel
Man that is a nice car! Something different for sure! I love the yellow and black. My grandpa had yellow and black trucks for his dozer service 1950's to 1980 so the color combo was on both of my Fox Body Mustangs. Anyway I love Ford's and this car is so cool
The 428 Super Cobra Jet came out late in the 1969 model year, so all early 1969 428 Cobra Jet are non-428 Super Cobra Jet engines and the Detroit Locker rear was not factory installed until the 428 Super Cobra Jet engine came out. 1968 and early 1969 428 Cobra Jet engines were available with 3.91 and 4.30 Traction-Lok rear ends, but not after the 428 Super Cobra Jet engine was released in 1969.
Beautiful example of a Torino GT, 428 was not common, I saw a lot of 302 cars and occasional 390 . Yours is real nice.
@@davidtrupiano3374 thank you!
Nice job. Engine sounds great under the hood, no rattle or chatter
Nice
Oh no …..Thermactor gone.. Not surprised. Beautiful in this yellow. Stripe looks perfect. No need to redo.
Ive got an 87 FXRS-SP. the SP are fairly rare these days. Mines not really tricked out, it does have a 96” S&S motor and BUB exhaust. The taller SP really rails corners and the 96” motor lights it up!
I love this car ❤
Thanks man!
How much air pressure on rear air shocks?
Max. I think it’s 150? I could be wrong about that. Whatever the instructions said was max is what I put in them.
@@magz7274 I'm surprised it isn't lifted higher. I bought them for my 68 Impala I hope they go higher.
@@magz7274 It really is a bad ass car. I sat in passenger seat many times going too fast being chased by cops. That was many moons ago in the 70's.
You did an awesome job on the restoration,stunning inside and out.
Thanks!
Older Brother's first car was a 69 Torino GT coupe. Was of the 351 Windsor variety, nowhere near the beast this is. White with Blue interior. 100% original. The car was 14 years old at the time. For the OEM only purists, I can verify that in order to avoid the crusher, aftermarket parts were required. OEM original is cool in a collectors garage as reference pieces. But they don't represent the natural car. The car most likely was bone stock the first 5 to 10 years. By that time they were either wrecked and canibalized, or scrapped. In order to keep them viable and desired the next owner might change the carb and exhaust, or the wheels and tires, or stereo. My brother's first car is still on the road, the guy he sold it to in college has kept it appearing original, but dropped an insane schizophrenic Cleveland/C6 build in it. Think of it as a person. It was bone stock as a teen, slightly modified for until it was 18, then built to the nutz until it's 54. Now take a man. Grew up on a farm until he was 14, moved to the city until he was 18 when he joined the Navy and became a sailor until he was 54. Do you define that man as a farmer, city slicker, or sailor? Anyone eho gives you grief over a cam can grab two fistfuls of sand and pound then up an oriface. Those things handled better than you would expect too. Beautiful piece. Thanks for putting it out there. Also green. That old green just looks right on that era to me.
Thanks for checking it out! Your brother’s old car sounds awesome! And yeah, I was surprised at how awesome this car handles! They’re really great cars to drive. Green is definitely on the list of considerations.
Those cars were so sexy back then not like the plastic computer infested junk we have today.
Very nice. What kind of wheels did ford consider those? Rallys?
Yes, they were ford’s rally wheels.
@@magz7274 Cool. Have a good day.
Hey mate how did you go about the speed sensor? Were you able to use the stock one? I’ve got a 2000 low rider and have installed the motoscope mini but I can’t get a speed reading, not sure if I’ve just wired the sensor in wrong or if you can’t use the stock one because I have heard you maybe not be able to use the standard in gearbox sensor
I actually used their motion sensor. Never could get the magnetic one to work. Mounted it to the caliper and pointed it at the 5 spoke rotor and then calibrated it with GPS. Had to make my own bracket for it but it was easy. Worked good.
Very nice looking Torino. I think the stance is pretty much perfect. Like the yellow also. If your thinking of a color change, Ford had a color in the mid and late 60s called lime gold metallic. Really sharp color. I do believe i saw a 68 o 9 Torino in that color years ago. It was mostly on LTDs and Galaxies. Probably weren't to many Torinos painted that color. Just throwing that out there. Sweet looking GT man , sweet
You’re right, they did make them in Lime Gold Metallic. I’ve seen several pictures, but have never seen one in person. Would be very interested in seeing it in person.
No brother...that car sits perfect....
Nice work.
Oops yeah thanks you did mention that in your video
Beautiful car nice job restoring it! I have a bright yellow with black interior 66 Chevelle SS so I'm a big fan of this color combination! Sounds excellent what are the cam specs if you wouldn't mind sharing? I also have a 7 Litre 66 Galaxie would love to put that cam in it.
Thanks! This cam was already in it when I bought it so I really don’t know.
Absolutely gorgeous. The yellow is stunning and with that beautiful black interior and black decal package it just pops. Just simply automotive artistry. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you!
Beauty 😍!!!
Gorgeous car ❤👊🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺👍✌️🦘🦘🦘🏔🏔🌨🌨
Thank you!
My older brother had 69 torino gt. 390 .4 speed. It was blue with black stripes. Back in like 78..or 79 but u have nice torino there
Nice job! My friend's older brother bought a blue one in '69. The whole family worked at Ford. That young man beat the piss out of it from day one.
Nice 👍
Nice car.What color is it?
Thank you! It was originally Meadowlark Yellow. This color is not Meadowlark Yellow. I’m not sure what it is, other than “yellow.”
Very nice car. I’m restoring a 68 s code Gt right now. I’m going to go the same wheels. I was thinking 275/60/15 rear and 245s front. What size did you go with, it has a good look. I just finished a firewall/cowl replacement for this past weekend Lol. Glad that’s done! I only patched a couple places on the floors also. What’s your rear gear? Idk mine I need to get a Marty report ordered up. I have a 65 fastback I’ve had since I was 14 payed 650$ for each one of my cars so they were rough. I really like what you’ve done so far hopefully you’ll post up as it comes along. Really nice to see those wheels as you walked around for my own reference. Enjoy!
Thanks man! On the rear, 275/60/15 is what I have. It is tight but it works, just makes sure your rear end is centered perfectly. Mine was just a tad off to the drivers side so I thought I was going to have clearance issues. Centered it and all good. The front I have 255’s and they’re fine, no issues. Rear gear is 3.50, open. I am very seriously considering swapping it with 3.73 traction lock. Will probably do that sooner rather than later. I’ll definitely keep posting! Thanks for watching!
Go with some blue color.
Beautiful car more Details please.
Just posted a pretty long video on it. Thanks for watching!
I have a 81 FXS the owner manual says the FXB in 1981 has staggered Dual exhaust. 1980 had the 2-1 or maybe it was an early 81 had 2-1 & Late hade Duals. Do you know?
You’re not wrong. In 81 it was staggered duals factory and the 2 into 1 was an available dealer installed option, which was the case for this one.
@@magz7274 Nice. I always wondered why some have the 2-1 and some don’t 👍
Let’s go for a ride!
Very impressive, great job!
How do you transfer over the og mileage?
There are instructions on how to set the odometer when you buy the gauge. I don’t remember exactly how off the top of my head but I remember it being pretty easy.
Risers?
