I just saw this video for the first time. Back in the day , my best friend bought one just like that. It was yellow with black trim. It came from the dealer with Hooker big tube headers in the trunk. He and i spent all day Saturday , and Sunday morning installing them. When we were finished, we went down this country road , with the headers open. We pulled into a church driveway during morning services. All the windows were open at the little country church. He backed out onto the road, and launched it just like in your video. I can still remember the beautiful sound of that engine being power shifted at 6000 + rpm. I also remember seeing people hanging out the windows of the church when we interrupted their morning service.He took that car the the local drag strip many times. I was the pit crew. After opening the headers and putting slicks on , it ran consistent mid 12 sec passes.
A friend of mine had one of these when we were in high school back in the early 70's, there was enough rubber in front of my house to make a tire.....my dad wasn't too happy......
Agreed 100 % the 70 Torino Cobra is the one car i wanna own before it's too late. What a wonderful cruiser it'll make, Got plenty room for 4 or 5 people, and that 429 CJ or SCJ under the hood Will Make plenty of power to pull you and all your friends around.
I Miss my 71 J code Cobra Torino ! He's not lying.That puppy would spit out 7200 RPM all day long ! The 71's were just a little nicer than the 70's and way more rare..
My absolute favorite muscle car. It's Sexy!!! I had a 70 GT and a 71 Wagon that I converted into a GT. Hide-away headlights, GT hood, High back bucket seats, Magnum 500's and a built Boss 351 connected to a C6, w/9" 411 Detroit locker. Love this car.
I test drove a 70 Torino 429 SCJ back in 1972 drag pack the car was two years old then and it had a C6 auto from the factory. Wish I had pulled some strings and bought it 2500 bucks I was only 18 yrs old and you know the rest of the story
My father had a 70 cobra jet Torino. I loved that car. Could smoke the tires for days. I had friends whose dad's had fox body Mustangs and and early 90s Camaros thought they could outrun it. They didn't.
Nice! My brother owned a ‘70 1/2 Falcon Ranchero, 429 SCJ in ‘72/‘73. I was 5. I recall the unique Tach. I recall my head goin back-n-forth, lol. I recall looking out my bedroom window seeing my father waiting-with a bat-for my brother to pull in the driveway, (my brother had the cable activated exhaust cut-outs and closed them too late as he could be heard coming up through valley over the hill). No lie, I found out years later my father had the car taken, (stolen at a wedding) soon after this out of fear my brother would end up dead. A State Trooper originally ordered the car new, my father purchasing it off of the dealership we did Body Work for soon after it was taken in on Trade. It was Red, black hood w/shaker with the lazer stripe. Black steel wheels with the Dog Caps which to me made the car. Dad had the tailgate lettered with our Company name and phone number, lol, which “may have” been a factor in our father ‘breakin the law’. I heard my brother discovered parts of this car a year later, (‘74) while attending a Family Reunion at our cousins, seeing his Shaker Scoop on the garage wall and the 429/4speed covered up behind the garage. Such a different era. Dad knowing, (serving in Korea and drinking buddies with the local Chief of Police, tolerating ‘certain’ behaviors out of love for his son, not wanting to take a hit on losing money or pride I assume). The color on this car is unique. My father loved ‘67 Galaxies, having one that came originally in “Yellow/Gold”, painting the others the same hue thereafter, (pulling the 428, installing a 351M in the one that became my first car). Lol, I’ll consider myself fortunate regardless….
As a ten year old kid in 78 my old elderly neighbors, who always took our wiffle balls & stray frisbees, had a son who had a green one with Slots. I always liked the way the decals & emblems were "subtly" mounted below the beltline on this car and many other makes. Therefore, I stuck a Cobra emblem about 3/4 in. beneath the trim on my rare 93. Reef Blue Metallic coupe Mustang. It's a nod to these cars. I get a little grief here & there but it's mine and I could care less.
my first new car was a 1970 torino cobra. i ordered it dec 1969 and picked it up from rice and holman ford jan29,1970 it was a 429 super cobra jet, with a super drag pack. with a 4 speed and 14 inch wheels. came with dog dish hub caps, since i coulded afford the magnum 500 wheels. the color was vermillion orange paint, and yes it was very fast for its time. i have the same color, on a 2015 mustang gt that i ordered nov 2014, and got it in jan 2015 a 10 week wait, but its called competition orange. the older guy was mostly right about the car, but there were a few flaws.
I had one in high school and yes a real torino cobra with the drag pack. Insane fast and I beat every chevy, mopar and pontiac around in my area.Still hurting for not storing it away but we didnt know that they would be collectors back then.
Unfornately he is wrong on a bunch of points c-6 automatic was a option on all Torinos there were many 3:91/ 4:30 geared Drag pak Cobras and Gt Torinos produced personally owned both 4 gear and auto cars with drag pak option known as the SCJ 429
I love the 70-71 Ford Torino Cobra and 70 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler body style. Two of the meanest and most aggressive looking muscle cars of that era in my opinion and I'm a Mopar guy. Awesome car. Probably my favorite Ford ever other than a 67 R-Code 427 Fairlane or maybe a 63 1/2 R-Code 427 Galaxie. Ford should've built a BOSS 429 Torino/Cyclone instead of putting that engine in a Mustang because they already had the Mustang GT, Mach 1, BOSS 302, and Shelby GT350 and GT500. They really didn't need another Mustang performance package and the Torino and Cyclone were the cars they actually raced in NASCAR at that time
I own a 429 SCJ with C6 automatic Drag Pack and 4.30 Detroit Locker rear. Don't know if the 4.30 came with the traction lock that you mentioned. They were available with the automatic transmission.
Livin da life ; In Nov. 1975 @ 17yrs old, I bought a 1970 Cobra with the "Drag Pak". C-6, column shift, Wimbleton white, shaker, blue interior with bench seat. $800.00.
@chris younts ; Don't need no stinkin overdrive for drag racing. My 1970 Cobra had the 3.91. It cruised fine at 60-70mph. A 4spd would've been better though.
The SCJ had a factory rated 375 hp. and there are thousands of drag pack automatic cars around .The C6 came in most drag pack cars .Boss 429 and 302 only came with 4 speeds .
@@badass6.0powerstroke10 4.30 gears are not for a car you want as a daily driver .Gas prices too expensive and rpm's at highway speeds would make your driving very limited
@@edge2sword186 I definitely know what 4.30,s be like. I've ran 3.55,s 3.90,s 4.10,s 4.30,s and 4.56,s on the Street. Wouldn't be the best Gear for Highway Driving, But my Favorite Car from back in the days were the 70 Torino Cobras, and I'd prefer the Top Loader with the Detroit Locker out back, and i believe to get the Locker you had to get the 4.30,s also, think if you went with 3.91,s from the Factory Only came with the Traction Lock Diff. And since I'm a die hard Drag Racer, I'd really want the Detroit Locker. And my Torino Cobra would just be my Weekend Cruiser, don't think I'd mind the 4.30,s as long as i stay off the Highway.
@@badass6.0powerstroke10 I had a 1969 Cobra with 4.30 gears and a beefed up C6 that shifted under load right around 6 grand. The car was insane fast. When I kicked in the passing gear it smoked the tires going into high gears. The 428 was not stock either. I took the 4.30 out and put in 3.25 gears and turned over 170 . I had to build my own front spoiler or the car would lift at those speeds.Also had a Talladega back then.
I owned that car model in 1973, exception is- mine was RED/BLACK interior. This is what I do know about that solid lifter motor, you better be a good mechanic or have a reliable shop. You can't drive it at open interstate highway speeds, like 70, (you'll be taching 3300 rpm) in Texas where speed limits are 75 to 90 mph. It's basically set up (mine was)for light to light racing in the boroughs . I was having NAPA do valve adjustments once a month, and on a road trip from Up state New York to Southeast Missouri, It stuck a valve. The valve broke off and chewed up the combustion chamber, knocked a hole in the piston.A new "bare" head in '74 was $678 and change. Plus a new rod and piston.. Heck, I realized I couldn't afford a new head, so The Ford Dealership where I went to get tbe parts gave me the name of a guy, and address for a macbine shop to do a rebuild of the head. Me and a brother did the removal and replacement of parts. I drove it back to New York and Traded it straight across for a '68 Torino GT. 351automatic. MCM; YOUR TORINO COBRA SCJ is a georgeous machine and there's somebody out there that will cherish owning it and driving it. Just need some cheaters if racing it.
The automatic transmission was available in the 1970 Torino Cobra. I owned one that came from the factory with a C6 automatic. The 429 scj engine made 375 hp. You could not get a 1970 Torino Cobra with a 429 scj engine with AC and a 4 speed. I was wrong you didn't have it all wrong you were just off a bit. Sorry!
You could get a C-6 trans, steel wheels with beauty rings and hub caps with the "Drag Pak" in 1970. I know, I owned one. The only thing you couldn't get was a coiled snake in the center of the grille.
snake in the grille was for 1971 torino cobra only. Again , he's wrong about the auto not available and he's incorrect about the 370 hp. It's 375 advertised hp.
I need ford competition suspension rear swaybar bushing replacement kit. Please tell me wear I can get this. It should be a total of 6 pieces black rubber. Thankyou. That car is Wow!!
Thanks, great Model,Stunning Ford ( I had a 1966 GALAXIE XL500/4 Speed/352/ Loaded), interestingly, I would have bought something like this in 1970 IF Opportunities would have come(* not buying a 1970 CHALLENGER RT/SE /**Triple Green/Magnum/4 Soeed , EVERY OPTION: We **not like the Green, & to many Ootions) at right moment; buying my first NEW CAR ,THE 1970 DODGE Coronet 500/383/Ralley Red/ auto / Deluxe interiors, from Dealer next Door ,!…
Nice video! Keep up the good work. Just an FYI, both a special beefed up version of the three-speed Cruise-O-Matic with a high stall converter and four-speed manual transmissions were offered with the Drag Pack SCJ Torinos. The 4 speed manual was standard while the Cruise-O-Matic was a $39 option. With the manual they mounted the rear shocks in opposing direction to reduce wheel hop. The Auto was preferred by those that lower ETs mattered as it crossed the line about a half a second quicker than the manual when rear ratios were the same, even with a perfect launch with the manual. Link to an Automatic Torino SCJ Drag Pack car in "Bothers Collection" th-cam.com/video/gWeCdN1ffI4/w-d-xo.html.
@@dannyfields2065 I owned the the Torino cobra429 SCJ w/ 4 spd. and drag pack. Automatic cars with shift kits were as fast, but their advantage was they never missed a shift. If you watch some of the videos of the TORINO 429 SCJ racing, chances are the Torino loses.
I would Much rather have the Top Loader Over the C-6, Automatics are Nice, But 4-Speeds are Great. My dream 70 Torino Cobra would be Drag Pack Equipped with Top Loader, 4.30 geared Detroit Locker, and probably Calypso Coral Orange. And if you know how to Drive a Top Loader, it's Definitely Quicker than the C-6 Torino Cobra.
429 SCJ, with a top-loader, and 4.30s. Sweet. No locker tho, huh? Almost bought one in 75, when all the cars were being dumped. Bank wouldn't give me the $2200 the guy wanted for his. Not a fan of these colors tho.
They did produce a few SCJ Cobras with Automatics that year. Ford put out false literature claiming it was designed by the wind. The big league circle track racers hated how poorly aerodynamic they were and some went back to the 1969 Torinos in 1971 race year. If you ever see pictures of that era, they installed two metal strips on the rear glass/plastic just to keep from being sucked out backwards. .......... I have three Cobras and about 10 more Torino GT's for "My" parts.
@@AlejandroP1980s, I don't have any idea what you were trying to say with that comment. But there is one thing for sure, Boss 429 engines and "any" Torino had no connection what so ever.
I don't think this a drag pac . It has no smog and I did not see the engine oil cooler. SCJ did come with a auto trans and a rev limiter that would not let the motor go over 6130 RPMs 7500 no way with stock cam . I own a 70 SCJ four speed and a 429 CJ automatic car bought new by me. I also have a BOSS 429 . I have restored all these cars and know them inside and out. Nice car wrong description.
@@rm0930 You are correct. I do not see the oil cooler on this car. Mine has it. I have the automatic trans with the 4.30 Detroit Locker. Otherwise this is a nice car.
just enough it actually was a pretty heavy car, it was designed for NASCAR but Ford had started to take factory sponsorship away so these didn't see NASCAR action like the 68 and 69 models and I believe Ford won more NASCAR races then anyone during the sixties- early seventies. Ford and Chysler were pretty close and Chevy wasn't anywhere to be seen so I would hardly call that the great pretender.
I love shifting too, and it irritates me that you cannot even get a manually shifted Ferrari or Lamborghini now. However, automatics can be fun, especially in Mopars. Both my 68 Charger and my 71 Super Bee with a 440 are automatics and with so much torque, are fun regardless. You know you have your power online and your transmission set right when you chirp the tires between shifts at WOT.

Just an FYI, both a special beefed up version of the three-speed Cruise-O-Matic with a high stall converter and four-speed manual transmissions were offered with the Drag Pack SCJ Torinos. The 4 speed manual was standard while the Cruise-O-Matic was a $39 option. With the manual they mounted the rear shocks in opposing direction to reduce wheel hop. The Auto was preferred by those that lower ETs mattered as it crossed the line about a half a second quicker than the manual when rear ratios were the same, even with a perfect launch with the manual.

madmartan1 false, the stick shifts were quicker in the quarter, as long as you had a competed driver.
@@dannyfields2065 I owned the the Torino cobra429 SCJ w/ 4 spd. and drag pack. Automatic cars with shift kits were as fast, but their advantage was they never missed a shift. If you watch some of the videos of the TORINO 429 SCJ racing, chances are the Torino loses.
@@dannyfields2065 you just lost your race with an Automatic if its the "competed" driver= spelling. COMPETENT!
I would Much rather have the Top Loader Over the C-6, Automatics are Nice, But 4-Speeds are Great. My dream 70 Torino Cobra would be Drag Pack Equipped with Top Loader, 4.30 geared Detroit Locker, and probably Calypso Coral Orange. And if you know how to Drive a Top Loader, it's Definitely Quicker than the C-6 Torino Cobra.
As a young man in 70's if it didn't have 3 pedals it wasn't a muscle car
429 SCJ, with a top-loader, and 4.30s. Sweet. No locker tho, huh? Almost bought one in 75, when all the cars were being dumped. Bank wouldn't give me the $2200 the guy wanted for his. Not a fan of these colors tho.
Did some one say Gran Torino???
They did produce a few SCJ Cobras with Automatics that year. Ford put out false literature claiming it was designed by the wind. The big league circle track racers hated how poorly aerodynamic they were and some went back to the 1969 Torinos in 1971 race year. If you ever see pictures of that era, they installed two metal strips on the rear glass/plastic just to keep from being sucked out backwards. .......... I have three Cobras and about 10 more Torino GT's for "My" parts.
Also almost 1970 Torino cobra boss 429
@@AlejandroP1980s, I don't have any idea what you were trying to say with that comment. But there is one thing for sure, Boss 429 engines and "any" Torino had no connection what so ever.
Wrong only the Boss 429 was limited to the 4 speed you could get a c6 auto behind these.
Also 1970 Torino cobra boss 429 but taken out before release
Ford Vs Chevy Battle Still Going :)
and yes 375 hp. I think you got ally intake and holley 780..different rods.. diff main bolts..still a cool car, just dumbass info..
Wrong heads. Drag Pack often confused with BOSS 429. Completely different motors. Not a SCJ, just a CJ.
What's going to happen when everybody goes electric? That sound that sound, will it go extinct? I sure hope not! Because it is exciting!
This guy has it all wrong.
@AJW - What's wrong other than you did have an auto. option?
AJ W Explain how.
@@2H2521 A couple items. Auto was available. Standard ratio with Drag Pak was a 3.91. 4.30 was optional.
I don't think this a drag pac . It has no smog and I did not see the engine oil cooler. SCJ did come with a auto trans and a rev limiter that would not let the motor go over 6130 RPMs 7500 no way with stock cam . I own a 70 SCJ four speed and a 429 CJ automatic car bought new by me. I also have a BOSS 429 . I have restored all these cars and know them inside and out. Nice car wrong description.
@@rm0930 You are correct. I do not see the oil cooler on this car. Mine has it. I have the automatic trans with the 4.30 Detroit Locker. Otherwise this is a nice car.
Ford the great pretender.slow boat.
just enough it actually was a pretty heavy car, it was designed for NASCAR but Ford had started to take factory sponsorship away so these didn't see NASCAR action like the 68 and 69 models and I believe Ford won more NASCAR races then anyone during the sixties- early seventies. Ford and Chysler were pretty close and Chevy wasn't anywhere to be seen so I would hardly call that the great pretender.
When Ford wants power, no one can beat them.
no muscle cars should ever have an automatic.The new ones.. dual clutch, ok...
I love shifting too, and it irritates me that you cannot even get a manually shifted Ferrari or Lamborghini now. However, automatics can be fun, especially in Mopars. Both my 68 Charger and my 71 Super Bee with a 440 are automatics and with so much torque, are fun regardless. You know you have your power online and your transmission set right when you chirp the tires between shifts at WOT.
Beautiful American muscle buy American not rice!!
SAY WUUT?
