Car is still for sale, technically - I don't want this to turn into another maverick where I fall in love with it and it never leaves. Let's be honest though, it's all the ratty mad max vibes I tend to like 😄
The fact that it was yellow and the dash pad looks correct,I would say it is a true cobra as many were ordered with 351 clevelands or the 429. If they didnt cut out the staggered rear shock mounts in the back at the top of the shock its real.
Nah, sell.. been too futzed around with over the decades. Once old muscle cars are that aggressively back-halfed and heavily modified, then left to go into such a condition, they're not worth as much effort as you'd think
@@11secghia eh, if that's a later f385 which I'm willing it bet is, especially a truck 460, it's just barely worth its weight in iron.. and just from the state of the entire package bumper to bumper, motor included, I can totally understand why ol uncle Luke doesn't want to mess with it. That is an awful lot of *project* when you're already swamped with projects
We all want to at least hear it run and see you do a burn out with it before you sell it. Besides, you'll get a better price for it then! Keep this project going please!
After seeing that valve train you're talking heads going to need rebuilt or drop the coin on some aluminum heads! New cam, lifters, pushrods, then there's the block! Would you want to dump a ton of money on a top end for that with having that block at a machine shop? No me! So it's quite expensive to totally rebuild a 429 Ford, it's certainly not a 350 chevy.
That is a rare car that never really got the fan fair it deserves. I would love to own it, but it's just not possible for me. I think you are one of the only people that could give that car the respect it deserves. You have the knowledge and ability to make it even more special. Keep the car bud. It's worth keeping.
I'd really like to see you at least continue the engine tear down, I learned allot just watching this first video and it would be a shame not to see the final results. If it's junk or not doesn't really matter to me, I'm here to learn stuff. Great video!
I would really like to see the rest of the videos on this car. I know that you have a lot on your plate as far as work but I'm hoping that you don't abandon this Relic
I had a 70 Torino Cobra as a young man many years ago and wish I had it now. This one looks to me that it may have been a GT originally tho. Certainly well worth the time to get this awesome car back on the road.
I enjoy your videos, fun to see the old stuff running again and I’m interested to see what you find with this engine. From the FB ad, I expect what you found wasn’t good.
It's not out of the car (I said that because folks could not seem to understand that it's not a "clean points" type of "it doesn't run"). I posted that before I ever actually turned a wrench - the work in the video is from Sunday this week
Thank you. If this is another way of getting your attention , I may speak for the thousands of people that think you are just about one of the best carb. And engine guys out there. It would be an honor to see you fix this race car , just a great idea ,can't wait
If I wasn't in U.K. I'd be around like a shot for it, but I get the feeling that it's found its home and will be staying for a while so we can see the rebuild and watch it go down whatever drag strip is close to you. Or at least, that's what I'm hoping.
This was the model car that I was going to drive when I got my license at 16. My parents owned this car my whole life but decided to "get something newer" (a 1975 Buick Lesabre) just months from me turning 16! Needless to say this has haunted me since and has never been forgotten 😡
1970 is maybe the best looking year for Torinos. I think this is probably the coolest car you've ever showed us. I would be interested to see if it was an original GT or Cobra or 429 car. I don't know about the hole in the hood or the tunnel ram. I would probably change that, but that won't be cheap so let's see what you can do with the current set up. Black is not a bad color, maybe better than the original yellow. But flat black isn't good. I hope it is just faced gloss black and can be polished up.
Hi Luke! Would love to see more on this Rare Old Gal. I believe it is a real Corba, only Vin# will reveal for sure. I learned some new trouble shooting skills too, so thanks for that. Cheers from Motown.
YES! Do what you can with all the existing hardware, get it (barely?) running, take it to the track and BLOW IT UP! Just make sure you have a lot of video footage. Ask Kevin to help through all of this, that would be awesome!
Saw this exact car when it was first for sale on marketplace, very good deal and not a far drive from me. Tossed up the idea of buying it but next time I checked it was sold. Pleasant surprise to see that you bought it, small world! Would love to see more on this badass car!
Continue to take us through the process of determining if engine will run or not. Next explore all the after market goodie’s used to make it a good drag car. Then determine if it is worth your time which is so precious. We all know you have a very important project going on with carb cheater and husbandly honey dues plus work on new place . It might be selling car to another Ford Motörhead is the answer who has more time. As a old senior shade tree mechanic I continue to learn from your videos at 70. Thanks
so glad to see you Luke , Ive loved all your videos but fell away after the Maverick , moving from the trailer to your home with your wife watched you pull some fence posts out, rescue the vehicle back in the woods then not sure , love to see you make the Torino run 70 was my favorite year and sad its been set up to race would love to see it " revived "
I would absolutely love to see that that is one of my all-time favorite cars I am a Ford fanatic and saying stuff like this is exactly what I live for stuff like this was mine and my uncle's favorite pastime before he passed away he is the one who got me in to automotives and just about all things ford related. I love what your doing keep up the great work and stay safe and stay blessed
Luke...please keep going on this. This is not another Chevelle or Mustang build.. You don't see this car everyday and as you say a lot has already been done. The car will be worth a lot more if you get it going down the track whether it's this motor or another. This video really got me excited and really hope you finish it. You will regret letting this one go!
Definitely would like to see more of this thing. Pull the motor and see if there are any good parts in it and just re-ring it maybe bearings and send it!
Luke, your running commentary, explaining what you're doing and why, without unnecessary antics all the time, is why I keep tuning in. I learn something every time I am here. I empathize on the "I don't need more projects", just sold all 4 of mine. But if you have the space, I think this car might be a keeper.
I bought a old drag car 2 years ago I completely went through everything bumper to bumper and made it streetable and just started driving it a month ago. It’s a blast to drive and I really enjoyed the build. Build it, I bet you will be glad you did
Please continue with this car. I'd love to see more and would also love to see it running, which i believe is possible. This is too cool of a car to sell as is. Great video, as always 👏 👏 👏 .
I definitely want to see more content on this car and think it would be worth keeping and going through the engine. I want to see this car live again, even if that means a rebuild/ new engine. It's pretty cool and has character .
Dude, you totally have to keep going on this one- I know you aren't into the sponsor thing, but it would be awesome if someone like summit would jump in and send you stuff to make it 1 bad 429 once again
Thanks for the exploration! Keep going! I wanna see you start this car up! It’s good to see your steps exploring this car. I have an old ‘72 Challenger I haven’t touched in years in the back yard and this video is nice to watch to see the steps you are taking to get it running.
I hope to see you get it running and burning rubber. It's awesome to see someone else wrenching on a 429. I have a non cobra jet 429 out of a '72 something in my '62 Galaxie. They sound fantastic at 5000+ RPM with long tube headers. All mine has is an Eddy Performer cam, headers, Performer RPM air gap intake, and 700 cfm Holley 4150.
Gotta love it. Would love to see you give a best effort attempt at bringing that 429 back to life, or giving it a new engine. Wildly impractical? Yes, and that's the appeal.
Wow. That is my dream car right there. Absolutely at the top of my bucket list. Not to sure about it being back halfed, but sure it's out of my budget anyway with all those goodies, lol. The untrusted ones almost always are!
Absolutely want to see more. I had the same model, my dad gifted it to me as a teen, sans the money to smoke converter under the hood. But it got stolen from us while we were out of town. Always wanted to get another.
Very cool find! That car could probably tell some interesting stories 😅 I find it odd that someone put a SCJ style intake on passenger style head…they look like DOVE heads not SCJ heads….intake ports if the intake look much larger than the head ports….at least from the viewers angle!
I want to see more of that car, to answer your question. DO NOT sell it, you'll regret it later. Those are very unique and rare cars, it will make a great mad max addition to your stable. Get 'er running, would love to see a series on it!
It's definitely worth a lot more if you get that motor running, so keep it or sell it you're still better off fixing the engine. Plus it's good content, I'll watch if you do it!
When I got home from Navy boot camp 1975 my mother gave me her car, my first car. A ,1970 Torino GT 429 CobraJet. Seeing this video brought up great memories for me.That car was GREAT. You have something very special there,,,, enjoy your treasure 😊😊😊😊
I love to watch these revival channels because I know one day one of you are going to get something with more horse power under the hood than you ever heard of 😂😂😂
I want every TH-camr under the age of 65 to note how the back tires looked on a real, competent car "back in the day". The back is not jacked up. No chrome reverse wheels sticking past the quarters, no ladder bar shackles, no air shocks. The tires should be IN from the quarters a couple of inches.
Hey Luke 🙂 I reckon that’s a keeper. Cool and an ideal technology demonstrator for your future products. Should be a wild ride and a lot of fun when recommissioned too 🤟🏼
Good Seeing You Back At It Again Luke, Please Don’t Sell That ‘70 Ford Torino, Drag Car, I’d Love To See You Get It Running & Get It Back On The Track Or Streetable Ride.. Appreciate You Working At It In The Hot-Sana-Shop With These Insane Temps, I Can’t Wait To See What’s Next Sir..
Hope you get to a serial or casting number to see what block your dealing with. I love to see what race stuff they put in these engines. Most popular in that time as I remember were the 427 429 and 460. The cam appears to be a solid so I bet when ready to go it would be as we called them back then "BAD ASS". IF you give up I hope who ever gets it lets us know how it turns out. I really appreciate that you have given this on a second chance to live; Best of Luck.
Yes, please continue. It's like the Mavericks older, Marlborough red smoking, black t shirt wearing, teenage brother. A must for your stable. The bones are there. I'll be watching. Thanks.
I love this model Torino. My Dad bought one new in 1971 and After my Dad Passed, my older brother sold it before I could stop him. I will keep watching to see what you do with this beauty.
Definitely interested to see how the bill of health turns out on this 385 series. Maybe you get it up & going, or maybe it has something catastrophic wrong with the rotating assembly. Either way, the car still brings the $ as just a roller. For now you own it. Have fun with it!
LUKE I HOPE THAT YOU KEEP THE FORD TORINO .PLEASE CONTINUE THIS BUILD ON THIS AMERICAN POWER. IF ANYONE CAN MAKE IT RUN LIKE A SUPER PERFORMANCE IT WILL BE YOU. THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK, FROM A LINUX UBUNTU, VENICE FL
I had a 69 Thunderbird with the 429 4BBL. Suicide doors. What a beautiful car. I called it Thunder Duck because of how she drove. Heavy as hell but that 429 had no problems moving her as fast as you dared. YES, Keep going.
Car is still for sale, technically - I don't want this to turn into another maverick where I fall in love with it and it never leaves.
Let's be honest though, it's all the ratty mad max vibes I tend to like 😄
The fact that it was yellow and the dash pad looks correct,I would say it is a true cobra as many were ordered with 351 clevelands or the 429. If they didnt cut out the staggered rear shock mounts in the back at the top of the shock its real.
vin code 38 Torino Cobra, code C 429-4v "Cobra Jet", code J 429-4v "Cobra Jet Ram Air"
Just do it bro, your going to regret letting it go. XD lol I'd def take it, if I had the money.
dont you dare sell this thing luke
@@blackf350it’s not a cobra being a formal roof lol
DO NOT SELL THAT LUKE!!!!
I second that idea
I third that. It will be a great car again
Nah, sell.. been too futzed around with over the decades. Once old muscle cars are that aggressively back-halfed and heavily modified, then left to go into such a condition, they're not worth as much effort as you'd think
Doo eeet 😂 get it running we all know you want to and we itching to see it run .. would be awesome ✌
@@11secghia eh, if that's a later f385 which I'm willing it bet is, especially a truck 460, it's just barely worth its weight in iron.. and just from the state of the entire package bumper to bumper, motor included, I can totally understand why ol uncle Luke doesn't want to mess with it. That is an awful lot of *project* when you're already swamped with projects
I'd love to see a build series of this
Luke, you have to continue this series. We want to hear it run and see you drive it!!
Can you say burn outs?..
We all want to at least hear it run and see you do a burn out with it before you sell it. Besides, you'll get a better price for it then! Keep this project going please!
That is a keeper for sure. Nothing better than hearing that first startup. Can't wait to see and hear it come to life.
After seeing that valve train you're talking heads going to need rebuilt or drop the coin on some aluminum heads! New cam, lifters, pushrods, then there's the block! Would you want to dump a ton of money on a top end for that with having that block at a machine shop? No me! So it's quite expensive to totally rebuild a 429 Ford, it's certainly not a 350 chevy.

Yep, keep it and take us along for the ride!
I really want too see it run & drive
Definitely a Keeper
Keep on building the drag car IT is too cool to sell!! You have the skills to make the old drag car into one special ride!!
Ya fix it man
always enjoy watchin ya work Luke, would love to see more on the drag car
I'd really like to see you at least continue the engine tear down, I learned allot just watching this first video and it would be a shame not to see the final results. If it's junk or not doesn't really matter to me, I'm here to learn stuff. Great video!
Tear it down, tear it down…..
Dont give up on this car. The engine is savable if you take it apart and re-ring it etc..
Haven’t watched this channel in awhile. Seen this car it brought me back. Don’t let it go man it fits you and this channel I hope to see more.
You definitely got my interest, Luke! Please, let’s make that car run again!! I think it deserves it
Keep going Luke as I think this car deserves it. The car has a history and would be fun to find that out.
I never get tired of watching revivals of old classic cars!😊
Me too
Love the 429 Torino, knew someone who had one in the late 80s, was a mint one ... until it met the telephone pole. Really would love to see this run.
I would really like to see the rest of the videos on this car. I know that you have a lot on your plate as far as work but I'm hoping that you don't abandon this Relic
This look just salvageable enough to be a good project, I'd like to see more on it... you can always sell it after you get it running ;)
I had a 70 Torino Cobra as a young man many years ago and wish I had it now. This one looks to me that it may have been a GT originally tho. Certainly well worth the time to get this awesome car back on the road.

Nice video, I think you got this at the same time I got one of your car trailers, cleaned up nicely lol
Keep it going! Love the project and would love to see you bring it around.
More videos on it would be awesome! Wanna hear it run 🤞
Thank you. If this is another way of getting your attention , I may speak for the thousands of people that think you are just about one of the best carb. And engine guys out there. It would be an honor to see you fix this race car , just a great idea ,can't wait

I’m hooked already! Please keep going with it! Great content as always Luke!
Yes please forge ahead Luke…your approach to revival and improvements on these old cars is always a teaching moment for me.
This was the model car that I was going to drive when I got my license at 16. My parents owned this car my whole life but decided to "get something newer" (a 1975 Buick Lesabre) just months from me turning 16! Needless to say this has haunted me since and has never been forgotten 😡

I would LOVE to see you continue on with this specific car. I fully understand other projects, but this one is special.
YES! Do what you can with all the existing hardware, get it (barely?) running, take it to the track and BLOW IT UP! Just make sure you have a lot of video footage. Ask Kevin to help through all of this, that would be awesome!
Saw this exact car when it was first for sale on marketplace, very good deal and not a far drive from me. Tossed up the idea of buying it but next time I checked it was sold. Pleasant surprise to see that you bought it, small world! Would love to see more on this badass car!
Wendel Scott crashed a 100 of those things.I grew up down the street from his garage in the 70's
Please continue. It's great to see you working and getting these cars back to work. Plies this one is pretty unique
You really should get it started and let us hear a cool 429. Please. Can your carb trick do dual quads? Whoa! That would be cool. All the best. Dennis
Continue to take us through the process of determining if engine will run or not. Next explore all the after market goodie’s used to make it a good drag car.

Most definitely keep going. Never get tired of learning from folks that know what they're doing!
I'd hang on to this thing Luke. This is prime Ford muscle car territory.
This is a cool machine to have around and revive. I will for sure look forward to see what you decide to do for it.
Good video, Luke. Your methodology is good. It's probably not a super high performance engine with hydraulic lifters. Keep building it .
so glad to see you Luke , Ive loved all your videos but fell away after the Maverick , moving from the trailer to your home with your wife watched you pull some fence posts out, rescue the vehicle back in the woods then not sure , love to see you make the Torino run 70 was my favorite year and sad its been set up to race would love to see it " revived "

I love what your doing keep up the great work and stay safe and stay blessed
love the car i drove one like it in 73 when i was 16 it was still all factory and had more power then i could afford
More videos on it would be awesome! Wanna hear it run . I'd love to see a build series of this.
Luke...please keep going on this. This is not another Chevelle or Mustang build..
You don't see this car everyday and as you say a lot has already been done. The car will be worth a lot more if you get it going down the track whether it's this motor or another. This video really got me excited and really hope you finish it. You will regret letting this one go!
please keep this car, its by far one of the most interesting ones I've seen on here in a while
Definitely would like to see more of this thing. Pull the motor and see if there are any good parts in it and just re-ring it maybe bearings and send it!
"percussive maintenance" is now one of my favorite sayings. I used to say "gentle persuasion" before I grabbed the single jack.
Luke, your running commentary, explaining what you're doing and why, without unnecessary antics all the time, is why I keep tuning in. I learn something every time I am here. I empathize on the "I don't need more projects", just sold all 4 of mine. But if you have the space, I think this car might be a keeper.
I bought a old drag car 2 years ago I completely went through everything bumper to bumper and made it streetable and just started driving it a month ago. It’s a blast to drive and I really enjoyed the build. Build it, I bet you will be glad you did
I wanna see it run!
Those Torino's were sought after right from the showroom floor!
Please continue with this car. I'd love to see more and would also love to see it running, which i believe is possible. This is too cool of a car to sell as is. Great video, as always 👏 👏 👏 .
I definitely want to see more content on this car and think it would be worth keeping and going through the engine. I want to see this car live again, even if that means a rebuild/ new engine. It's pretty cool and has character .
You have good lighting on the camera, I feel like I’m watching standing beside the car in the barn. A real good video to help me forget my problems…
Dude, you totally have to keep going on this one- I know you aren't into the sponsor thing, but it would be awesome if someone like summit would jump in and send you stuff to make it 1 bad 429 once again
I definitely want to see this one live. Run the numbers on that block. Unlikely it's original being a drag car but you never know
Would love to see it run again! Also the tub work looks well done.
Thanks for the exploration! Keep going! I wanna see you start this car up!
It’s good to see your steps exploring this car. I have an old ‘72 Challenger I haven’t touched in years in the back yard and this video is nice to watch to see the steps you are taking to get it running.
Looks like a keeper to me! No madness just hat in hand till the end!
I hope to see you get it running and burning rubber. It's awesome to see someone else wrenching on a 429. I have a non cobra jet 429 out of a '72 something in my '62 Galaxie. They sound fantastic at 5000+ RPM with long tube headers. All mine has is an Eddy Performer cam, headers, Performer RPM air gap intake, and 700 cfm Holley 4150.
This is a time capsule drag car. Definitely worth brining her back to another drag race (at the track ?) Onward!
I'm on the edge of my seat, would love to see more.
Don't know how much of this is Cobra, they didn't have hideaway headlights.
Build it man! No telling if whoever buys this would have a TH-cam channel for us to watch a revival on it!
Gotta love it. Would love to see you give a best effort attempt at bringing that 429 back to life, or giving it a new engine. Wildly impractical? Yes, and that's the appeal.
Wow. That is my dream car right there. Absolutely at the top of my bucket list. Not to sure about it being back halfed, but sure it's out of my budget anyway with all those goodies, lol. The untrusted ones almost always are!
Absolutely want to see more. I had the same model, my dad gifted it to me as a teen, sans the money to smoke converter under the hood. But it got stolen from us while we were out of town. Always wanted to get another.
I've a feeling you'll be able to get that engine running again...keep going Luke...it'd be pretty rad to see this thing do burnouts
You know you want to keep it. I for one, sure would love to see you revive/build this beast!
Looking forward to seeing more videos on this car . Keep up the good work.
Would love to see you continue/build that sweet Torino !
It would be great to see more of this awesome muscle car Luke. You have me tuned in for sure. Good luck if you continue to work on it.
Dude keep it just for great content you can make and we can all learn from. That is such a cool mad Max looking vehicle.
What an amazing car, we need to see if you get her running again!
This adventure is great. I'm sure your viewers are loving it!
Tough car man ! I’d love to see you continue on it.
Give us some more learnin’ uncle Luke !! ☺️
Very cool find! That car could probably tell some interesting stories 😅
I find it odd that someone put a SCJ style intake on passenger style head…they look like DOVE heads not SCJ heads….intake ports if the intake look much larger than the head ports….at least from the viewers angle!
Please keep working on this!!! Also cant wait for the carb cheater!!! So excited to get it and install it!
Absolutely would love to see more on it please please please.
I want to see more of that car, to answer your question. DO NOT sell it, you'll regret it later. Those are very unique and rare cars, it will make a great mad max addition to your stable. Get 'er running, would love to see a series on it!
It's definitely worth a lot more if you get that motor running, so keep it or sell it you're still better off fixing the engine. Plus it's good content, I'll watch if you do it!
When I got home from Navy boot camp 1975 my mother gave me her car, my first car. A ,1970 Torino GT 429 CobraJet. Seeing this video brought up great memories for me.That car was GREAT. You have something very special there,,,, enjoy your treasure 😊😊😊😊
Absolutely want to see more. That thing looks sick.

It'd be AWESOME to see you continue work on this thing!!
Good Seeing You Back At It Again Luke, Please Don’t Sell That ‘70 Ford Torino, Drag Car, I’d Love To See You Get It Running & Get It Back On The Track Or Streetable Ride.. Appreciate You Working At It In The Hot-Sana-Shop With These Insane Temps, I Can’t Wait To See What’s Next Sir..
Hope you get to a serial or casting number to see what block your dealing with. I love to see what race stuff they put in these engines. Most popular in that time as I remember were the 427 429 and 460. The cam appears to be a solid so I bet when ready to go it would be as we called them back then "BAD ASS".

I really appreciate that you have given this on a second chance to live; Best of Luck.
Yes, please continue. It's like the Mavericks older, Marlborough red smoking, black t shirt wearing, teenage brother. A must for your stable.
The bones are there.
I'll be watching.
Thanks.
Please continue this project, I have really missed having regular content from you.
More videos please! Would love to see this beast running again and you take it down the strip! 🙌💪
I love this model Torino. My Dad bought one new in 1971 and After my Dad Passed, my older brother sold it before I could stop him. I will keep watching to see what you do with this beauty.
Always enjoy new uploads. Really enjoy the style of videos you make. Quality entertainment. Have a great weekend.
wow Luke is back! I know he never left but I mean this has the feel of something new.
I hope you'll hold on to it. I definitely want to see it running n driving again n maybe even make a pass in the 1/4
Definitely interested to see how the bill of health turns out on this 385 series. Maybe you get it up & going, or maybe it has something catastrophic wrong with the rotating assembly. Either way, the car still brings the $ as just a roller. For now you own it. Have fun with it!
LUKE I HOPE THAT YOU KEEP THE FORD TORINO .PLEASE CONTINUE THIS BUILD ON THIS AMERICAN POWER. IF ANYONE CAN MAKE IT RUN LIKE A SUPER PERFORMANCE IT WILL BE YOU. THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK, FROM A LINUX UBUNTU, VENICE FL
Pretty cool find Luke. Would love to see you get it running.
would love to see more of this car. I was born in 1971 so I love these years cars or bikes. im currently restoring a 1970 rupp enduro minibike.
I had a 69 Thunderbird with the 429 4BBL. Suicide doors. What a beautiful car. I called it Thunder Duck because of how she drove. Heavy as hell but that 429 had no problems moving her as fast as you dared. YES, Keep going.
love your vids mate - fix it and fall in love with it! What an awesome car! 👍🏼😊
