When I was 11 (1970), I remember our neighbor had one of these. We lived in a court and I remember him coming in to the court sideways..... Oddly, he was also a county sheriff. We used to ride out motorcycles in the court also. My brother was doing a wheelie and put his bike through our neighbors fence. Expecting to get slammed by the guy, he came out, asked if my brother was ok then told him: OK, now fix my fence. Good times! Good people. Brings back great memories!

I had one also, except mine was the Cobra Jet with the Hurst 4 speed, not the GT. Fast didn't start to describe it. The sticker price was just north of $3200 and the upgraded engine was about $280. Inflation, what inflation???
Let me ask you a dumb question , my dad had a Mercury Marquis 1968 with a 429 2 barrel carburetor. Could you turn that engine into a high performance engine.?
About 10 years ago I saw a souped up early model Maverick next to me. When I was a little kid in the early 80s, I saw a lot of them on the road, but couldn't remember seeing any by about 1990, but I sometimes wondered why more people didn't build hot rods out of these. For years they were cheap, easy to get your hands on, and could fit a Ford 351, so seemed like a perfect boy racer.
Got me a '71 grabber. That car is wicked fast. Way quicker than any car in this list. It's so small that 302 is more than enough. Now I just have to install the twin turbo setup I got for it. Hehehe
My friend built a Ford Maverick. It was a nice car but when he tried to sell it, he only got half of what he was asking. His advise? Never invest in a Maverick.
the buick gsx is amazing, just because it was a buick so many treat it like an grandmas car, but with 510 lb torque it had the most torque of any muscle car until 1992, the buick stage 1 455 was handsdown the greatest engine of the muscle car era after the hemi and glorious L88
Those Torinos with 429s and that body style! Unbeatable! How can you be a Chevy fan after watching this video. I was 16 in 1976. I bought a 70 Torino with a 302 in it! My friends dad had a triple back 76 with a 351. Great looking car, We took it out one night. We were doing 80 mph when we hit two black cow's in our lane. It didn't total it but it should have. Had to pay for the cow's, there were put down at the scene. It took a long time for the car to get fixed and my buddy and I worked that summer to pay for those cow's. I will never forget that car was beautiful! Shawn

I have a life time CCW! that I am really passion about too! Enough said! Shawn
@TADufine No, Way! A RoadRunner made like a box could beat a 429! Hemi, Ya! I would believe that one! The SCJet engine was a power house! In the Coke bottle shape that was developed for NASCAR. The man's name was David Person! He gave Richard Petty the fits. NASCAR killed the Hemi and Richard went drag Racing. Then drove a Ford! Enough said! Get your facts straight. Then discuss which engine was better. Shawn
The 1968 Pontiac Bonneville with a 428cu.in/390 HP engine wasn't so much a 'muscle' car, but a 'sleeper' instead. It was a lot lighter than you'd think for a car its size. I won more than a few bets with mine. Hell, sometimes I even had to turn off the A/C to win.
Glad, I could help you Jay! Hope it brought great memories back to you! It use to be a hick town that got really big during the National's. Racing in Indy is big! When I am on vacation around the country. People see I am from Indiana! They always ask me about the Indy 500! The Brickyard 400 or the National's! You will find most have been to one or all three events during there life time! It's a great conversation when you are on the road during your vacation. People really connect to the racing in Indiana. It's been great to talk with someone who really knows his Muscle cars and was there during that time. I will be 58 on Thursday! My wife and are going to the 500 museum and out to dinner in Speedway. She asked me what I wanted to do! Couldn't think of anything better! She asked them could I drive around the track for my birthday and they said no problem. As long as I stay under 200 mph! Shawn
@Shawn Didn't see this comment so a belated happy birthday. You're 58huh ... well you're kid. I got you beat by 3 years. No doubt Indy has as legit a claim to the title "Racing Town" as any place on the planet. I enjoyed my time there. Remember reply directly to get notification sent.

I would like to see one of those major events you guys have up there someday if I could ever work out the logistics. Even though I don't know much about open wheeled racing it would be fun to see the 500 some day just to say I did it, but then I would be happy to witness another Nationals or the NASCAR race as well. Great to hear from you again.
In 1970 I went with my dad to a Ford dealership and while we wandering around in the showroom a salesman fired up a Torino Cobra which was only a few feet away from the floor to ceiling glass windows. It resonated all the windows in the dealership and every person immediately looked at that Torino. It was stunning and funny.
I'm not a big Ford guy, but over the years there have been certain cars come along that are just incredible. A schoolmate had his car up for sale. 1970 Torino GT 428SCJ, 4-speed, 4.30 gear. Orange with black interior. I wish to this day I could have afforded to buy it.
The first car shown is a Yellow 71 GT Torino fully loaded M Code Car with a 351 Cleveland ram air . Not a 429 car.. ( look at the corner of the valve cover )..I had the same exact Model only mine was Grabber Green Metallic...Never should have sold that car...You can't hardly find Fully loaded 71 GT's any more...
i had me a 71 torino gt , blue with that stripe down the side paid 650. for it took me 1500 to get it running it was straight, drums all the way around with a 302 in it with hwy gears. it looked good but nothing fast about it except over 50mph. i sold it for scrap when the tranny went out, this was in '92 nobody wanted it.
The one. I rode in was the 429 ram air. We were 16 and 17 years old. My friends older brother friend. Let us use the car after we bought a case of beer for him. He got drunk, we drove the car! Maroon in color, yellow later stripe, C- 6 auto mastic with 3.91 lock rear end. Out of the hole it wasn't much! But after that this car was scary fast! We went looking for runoff against anybody! We found one 396 Chevelle. What a drag race! We had stopped by Sunoco for their High test gasoline, this car just loved octane. Shaker hood scoop in black. If I remember it had black comfort weave bucket seats. 2 days later the owner got drunk again and ran into a garage, with a 66 2+2 mustang in it. He total both cars. So there it goes! Don't drink and drive. Shawn
Yeah, it's weird--they gave Al Bundy a Duster, and now they have it in that Emu insurance commercial. The message being "uncool". It was voted fastest sedan in America, and ate the lunch of many Corvettes. Probably under appreciated because of the 2.5 million produced, about 3/4 had the 225 ci slant 6--a Mom car grocery getter. Combine a 340 and it's 3600 pound curb weight, and it would really move. Beautiful and fast. (and lots of room for adventure in the back seat)

Shawn Beck there's not a polyspherical chamber head engine model car in the video. The only poly performance I know of was in the '59 Fury with 2 4bbls producing 290 hp.
I didn't knew that Pontiac. I could notice that uses the same body as the Chevy Nova. The Cobra Jet Torino is a total beast! And I prefer the Torino than the Cyclone that uses the same body. Awesome video! Like for sure
The 74 GTO was based on the Ventura, which was Pontiac's version of the X-body. The Nova was Chevy's version of the X-body, so that's why it looks similar. It was the only year that the GTO was based on the Ventura. 1973 was the last year that the GTO was based on the Lemans, an A-body. The 74 was the last GTO until they brought it back in 2003-2006.
They always put top speed, but that depends on the rear end. There were quite a few rear end gears you could choose and swap out depending whether you were drag racing or take a trip on the highway.
Looks are deceiving, Oveida. The Torino fastback cars can be made to go fast. They took on all commers and won at the 1995 Muscle Car Nationals in Bristol Tennessee. One 4-door 429 Torino held the SS record@ 10;40's, 132MPH. Charlie Booze Jr. 2 more Cleveland powered Torinos '70 models with nitros were running 9:90's. These cars only weigh about 3800lbs from the factory but the above mentioned cars are lightened a LOT more.
That burn out in the Maroon Torino is the shit! It's even better when your in side it! That big block and it's torque! Also that black vinyl top puts it over the top! Shawn
Hey, Jay5775! The NASCAR race got rained out on Sunday! I think it's on Monday afternoon! Will get to see it on T.V. I am off! Thank God the traffic is really bad during the morning and evening. Hope to hear from you soon! Shawn
@shawn beck Hey Shawn I am still out here. Didn't get any notifications for the more recent comments. You have to reply directly to one of my comments for notifications to go through FYI.
@@jay5775 Hey. JAY! I just came across a 1971 Boss Mustang, with a four speed and 3.55 gears out back. Do you know anything about the Mach 1. The price was just about right. $15,000. Dark blue, Gray on the hood! Something called comfort weave interior bucket seats. The question I have is. The horse power rating and torque. There's a Dyno shop in speedway. Also it has slats on the back window and a spoiler. Any info. sure could use your imput. 73,000 miles on it! Shawn
Hey shawn Well I can tell you this much, if its a boss 351 which I'm guessing it is if its in moderate conditions or better its probably a steal at that price. I think the boss 351 was rated at 330 hp but that was factory BS. Probably 400 plus is more accurate. Solid lifter cam I think and more than 11-1 compression from the factory. If its for real and you have the money that would be a good price. Let me know what happens.
I still own my pride and joy, a 1970 Torino GT convertable, 429, 360HP, 4-speed with air. One of my all-time favorites out of the 55+ cars of different makes I've owned. Collectors don't overlook mine. A totally restored CJ convertable w/shaker, 4-speed sold for $125K at a auction in OKC in 2002. Super rare car!
@@CarNewsTV My regards, bro!! i love your vídeos you are a boss!! i think i need to work with cars but i only got 12 years i would really like an opportunity like that
There was a 73 Pontiac GTO, usually seen on the south side of Indy, that was bad news. Don't know if it was stock but I remember it was a 400ci block and it was the terror of 31 south. It was metallic blue, what a beautiful car.
I would say the 74 GTO was underappreciated for a reason. Now if they would have used the motor from the Trans-AM it might have been different but the 74 GTO wasn't a muscle car at all.
The cars are nice but what I noticed was they only showed the eye candy.There were plenty of 4 dr sleepers that people didn't know were bad ass hot rods. Also, the 64/65 chevy ll aka nova. With the stock 6 cyl you had a fast car due to lightness
Had a 71 duster built myself with 318 block 360 heads 10.5 compression,offenhauser intake mallory dual point distrubutor , 500 plus lift cam,carter 750 cfm,carb 4speed,functional 340 hood scoop traction bars and pulled front wheels off out of the hole! That pulled high 12's in quarter mile not bad for 19yr old kid!
Adam Kowalski really a 19 yr old just knows nothing about cars huh!!! We all had old school muscle cars in those days even had shop class where we were being taught to build auto trans!!! Genious!!!
Along with Torino GT was a more obscure 70 1/2 Falcon based on Torino frame. Only available about 6 months in 3 body styles. 2dr sedan had B pillar and door window frame unlike Torino hardtop or sportsroof. Falcon also came in 4dr or s/w. Dealer in Huntington WV had two 70.5 Falcon with 429 CJ , Hurst 4 spd and several other goodies with Drag Pack Option. Sticker was $3500 and stated 'no warranty'. Definitely meant for the strip, with no trim, rubber mat instead of carpet, gray plastic grille, and coupe body. One was grabber orange while other was more a sleeper dressed in baby blue paint. Being a teen at the time I was uninsurable for such a beast. I tried for a 302 auto coupe but parents vetoed that as well even though that stickered at about $2200. Drats
Who didn't appreciate the Torino? It was a major player in the day! They used a Torino in Starsky & Hutch and Clint Eastwood made a movie revolving around his Gran Torino!Dusters and Demons were also major players!The Cyclones probably aren't as well known but they were monsters, as were the Rebel's but the Rebel's were very popular.The Buick GSX was well known, so was the Ventura GTO. The Laguna you showed has the 350, but it did have the 454 option, but in '74 the HP was cut and "styling was put in its place.How old are you and what grade level did you finish?Cars that weren't muscle cars but had the ability to become muscle cars were the Maverick, the Buick Apollo, the Mercury Bobcat, the Mercury Cougar, the Chrysler Cordoba, the Buick Riviera and other models that had V-8's.

All of that from a poly 318! Wow, What a engine! Long live the poly 318. Shawn
Shawn Beck there's not a polyspherical chamber head engine model car in the video. The only poly performance I know of was in the '59 Fury with 2 4bbls producing 290 hp.
Beautiful!
Thank you Scott ! :) Have a nice day
And that mercury
muscle cars and 80s rock music really works together
Can I request that when you put the make and model you also put the year? Thanks XD
Edit: You did put the years on some. Great video - enjoyed it.
A 7.0L V8 that takes 9 seconds to get 60. Thank you government
Wow. A couple of these I've never seen.
I didn't knew that Pontiac. I could notice that uses the same body as the Chevy Nova.
The Cobra Jet Torino is a total beast! And I prefer the Torino than the Cyclone that uses the same body.
Awesome video! Like for sure
The 74 GTO was based on the Ventura, which was Pontiac's version of the X-body. The Nova was Chevy's version of the X-body, so that's why it looks similar. It was the only year that the GTO was based on the Ventura. 1973 was the last year that the GTO was based on the Lemans, an A-body. The 74 was the last GTO until they brought it back in 2003-2006.
Tornio Overlooked? There's a Clint Eastwood movie with its name alone! 😎
They always put top speed, but that depends on the rear end. There were quite a few rear end gears you could choose and swap out depending whether you were drag racing or take a trip on the highway.

Owned a torino with 351c and was a tank for sure. So big..
The thing I remember the most about the Old Mans Torino was the push button controls. 🤠
That would have been unusual. What year?
Fun fact about the duster, the engine bay is large enough to fit a 400 Mopar and could be optioned with a 360 small block v8.
My sister bought a brand new rebel machine and foolishly let her young brother(me) take it on date nights. I can still smell the burning clutch🤣🤣🤣
Gs buicks was monster
My mom had a 1970 429 cobra jet Torino and got rid of it because she was tired of buying gas for it all the time
I was getting ready to get pissed off before I even started watching for the Duster not being on the list, then I was like Oh, ok cool 😂
I had a 1973 Ford Torino GT, and I think it had a 429/4 barrel. I do remember it being pretty strong!
I think the AMC AMX should have been up there as well.
Had an AMX once. Lot's of fun!
The only thing missing on that Toreno is a gun turret, that car is an over weight tank, same thing with that Mercury Cyclone. That Rebel looks sweet
Rebel looks sweet???? LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL !!!!
Looks are deceiving, Oveida. The Torino fastback cars can be made to go fast. They took on all commers and won at the 1995 Muscle Car Nationals in Bristol Tennessee. One 4-door 429 Torino held the SS record@ 10;40's, 132MPH. Charlie Booze Jr. 2 more Cleveland powered Torinos '70 models with nitros were running 9:90's. These cars only weigh about 3800lbs from the factory but the above mentioned cars are lightened a LOT more.
no, they weren't that heavy at all, my 71 wasn't heavy it had a small block in it and ran around fine.
The Old Man had a baby blue Torino with darker blue stripping, BEAUTIFUL wish I had it now.😘👍🏼🤠
That burn out in the Maroon Torino is the shit! It's even better when your in side it! That big block and it's torque! Also that black vinyl top puts it over the top! Shawn
That Cyclone.......🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Sean G + Cyclone is my favourite ! :)
Car News TV + I'm with you! Simply bad ass !
Hey, Jay5775! The NASCAR race got rained out on Sunday! I think it's on Monday afternoon! Will get to see it on T.V. I am off! Thank God the traffic is really bad during the morning and evening. Hope to hear from you soon! Shawn
@shawn beck
Hey Shawn I am still out here. Didn't get any notifications for the more recent comments. You have to reply directly to one of my comments for notifications to go through FYI.
ha ha
@@jay5775 Hey. JAY! I just came across a 1971 Boss Mustang, with a four speed and 3.55 gears out back. Do you know anything about the Mach 1. The price was just about right. $15,000. Dark blue, Gray on the hood! Something called comfort weave interior bucket seats. The question I have is. The horse power rating and torque. There's a Dyno shop in speedway. Also it has slats on the back window and a spoiler. Any info. sure could use your imput. 73,000 miles on it! Shawn
Hey shawn
Well I can tell you this much, if its a boss 351 which I'm guessing it is if its in moderate conditions or better its probably a steal at that price. I think the boss 351 was rated at 330 hp but that was factory BS. Probably 400 plus is more accurate. Solid lifter cam I think and more than 11-1 compression from the factory. If its for real and you have the money that would be a good price. Let me know what happens.
@@jay5775 What the fuck are you two on about?
Thumbs Up Liked.
thanks for giving a shout out to the duster my fav car
The 1989 turbo trans am also only came in white, 1500 were made, so the red trans am was either a gta model with a V8 or a repainted turbo model...
Now that's how you show a hot ride if you got it use it
Love how the "laguna" has 350 fender badge! Lol
I had a71 Torino with the Cleveland as a teenager.
Damn I miss that car!
Gotta love that last one , when your a Pontiac Trans Am Fanatic 👍
Haha
Powered by a Buck LC2 powerplant no less
A cheap rip off
Oh Yeah! The Torino....!!!
The Torino is faster than a parked school bus. Impressive.
Great car my uncle had a red and black one.These cars are high dollor in today's market
Now there's some muscle
A thumbs up for you.
Cool music for once
I'm a die hard Chrysler guy but I do truly love those Torinos.
My favorite is that white gsx stage 1
I still own my pride and joy, a 1970 Torino GT convertable, 429, 360HP, 4-speed with air. One of my all-time favorites out of the 55+ cars of different makes I've owned. Collectors don't overlook mine. A totally restored CJ convertable w/shaker, 4-speed sold for $125K at a auction in OKC in 2002. Super rare car!
I’ve never overlooked any of these bad boys
Some very nice cars here. But the only muscle car I want is the one from the first Mad Max film-complete with supercharger! 😎
other beautyfull video of cars!!!
Vito7456gamer + Thank you ! :)
@@CarNewsTV My regards, bro!! i love your vídeos you are a boss!! i think i need to work with cars but i only got 12 years i would really like an opportunity like that
There was a 73 Pontiac GTO, usually seen on the south side of Indy, that was bad news. Don't know if it was stock but I remember it was a 400ci block and it was the terror of 31 south. It was metallic blue, what a beautiful car.
Is this thing a rebodied American version of the mad max interceptor ?
It’s nice that a car can kick ass. Back in this time there were a lot of cars that were monsters. Lol some just had the wrong badge.
I have sit in and touched the 70 Buick GSX prototype hardtop.... Yes I have.
I would like to open a place just for these cars.
I would say the 74 GTO was underappreciated for a reason. Now if they would have used the motor from the Trans-AM it might have been different but the 74 GTO wasn't a muscle car at all.
The 74 GTO is a joke. Nothing more than a Ventura with a graphics package. A disgrace to a legendary muscle car nameplate
Kinda neat the way you never show the etas on the strip.... cause why would we want to know how fast they go?
I like the gran sport and the Torino gt because mmmm h That torque
Pinto did make the list?
a 74 GTO??? really?? it was an embaressment to the name
The cars are nice but what I noticed was they only showed the eye candy.There were plenty of 4 dr sleepers that people didn't know were bad ass hot rods. Also, the 64/65 chevy ll aka nova. With the stock 6 cyl you had a fast car due to lightness
Had a 71 duster built myself with 318 block 360 heads 10.5 compression,offenhauser intake mallory dual point distrubutor , 500 plus lift cam,carter 750 cfm,carb 4speed,functional 340 hood scoop traction bars and pulled front wheels off out of the hole! That pulled high 12's in quarter mile not bad for 19yr old kid!
Travis Krause I have to raise the Utube BS flag. Sorry.
Dyno Don bs huh you said it nobody else and how the fuck would you know oh i forgot you were there!!! Not bs just fact!!!!
Adam Kowalski really a 19 yr old just knows nothing about cars huh!!! We all had old school muscle cars in those days even had shop class where we were being taught to build auto trans!!! Genious!!!
@@traviskrause8509 318 was a solid motor i loved it
Owned a Torino just like that in the 80's
Along with Torino GT was a more obscure 70 1/2 Falcon based on Torino frame. Only available about 6 months in 3 body styles. 2dr sedan had B pillar and door window frame unlike Torino hardtop or sportsroof. Falcon also came in 4dr or s/w.
Dealer in Huntington WV had two 70.5 Falcon with 429 CJ , Hurst 4 spd and several other goodies with Drag Pack Option.
Sticker was $3500 and stated 'no warranty'. Definitely meant for the strip, with no trim, rubber mat instead of carpet, gray
plastic grille, and coupe body. One was grabber orange while other was more a sleeper dressed in baby blue paint.
Being a teen at the time I was uninsurable for such a beast. I tried for a 302 auto coupe but parents vetoed that as well
even though that stickered at about $2200. Drats
H.E. Miller; Tim Allen has a black 70 1/2 falcon with shaker in his collection.
Cougar XR7-G 420 Cobra Jet
Dan Gurney Special with sun roof hood air vent tilt awsy steering swivel drivers seat redwood dash board...etc
Perdón 429 cobra jet , Saludos desde Chile
The 1974 Ventura GTO was overlooked for a reason.
That V6 sounds suspiciously like a V8 at the end
Who didn't appreciate the Torino? It was a major player in the day! They used a Torino in Starsky & Hutch and Clint Eastwood made a movie revolving around his Gran Torino!Dusters and Demons were also major players!The Cyclones probably aren't as well known but they were monsters, as were the Rebel's but the Rebel's were very popular.The Buick GSX was well known, so was the Ventura GTO. The Laguna you showed has the 350, but it did have the 454 option, but in '74 the HP was cut and "styling was put in its place.How old are you and what grade level did you finish?Cars that weren't muscle cars but had the ability to become muscle cars were the Maverick, the Buick Apollo, the Mercury Bobcat, the Mercury Cougar, the Chrysler Cordoba, the Buick Riviera and other models that had V-8's.
Dam those are some badass car
the AMC Rebel reminds me to Forza Horizon 4 xD
The 72-74 cuda should be on that list
