@@johnyoungblood118 I totally agree with you and I should have never sold it. And it wasn't like I needed the money just didn't drive it that much and it was all stock all original.
If was a 1970 it was a 302, Ford discontinued the 289 after 1967, with Ford introducing the 302 in late 1967 for the 1968 model year replacing the 289.
Got to be careful with unibody cars and rust. With the torque of a big block it can twist the body. Any car from a winter salt state will be susceptible to rust.
70 and 71 Torinos and Mercury Cyclones are unibody and rust IS a major concern. As for performance - that is relative. I smoked a 2020 Hemi Challenger in a street race but would not stand a chance with a newer GT500. 😀
Torino SCJ and Rare Earth, both 1970, perfect!
Beautiful machine!
Thanks, I thought it would be a great match!
Luv them ole TORINOS and 4 on the floor BADASS 😎 I had a 1972 Sport
I'm with ya - I'm a Torino guy for life.
My father has one just like it except it's yellow instead of red. I love the 429 Cobra Jet and I learned how to drive in it.
awesome car to learn on 👍
@@johnyoungblood118 Yeah but it made driving normal cars boring.
Gorgeous! You should've fired her up!
yeah, I should have!
Thanks
Breath taking beauty of a tough lookin car
I would have been satisfied with a ThunderJet 429. The SCJ has ridiculous torque and power!
gorgeous car! but please let us ear it rooooooooooar!
AGREED! - I'll work on that
Beautiful car, they don’t make them like that anymore .
Thanks - There's something about those cars from the 60's and 70's that are timeless beauties.
I'd have this car and wouldn't change one damn thing about it.
Nice ride 👌 👍
Thanks - lot of work!
Beautiful. ! I use to have a 70 Torino but not like this. I had a plane Jane Torino think it had a 289 maybe small V8 anyway.
Hi Mike, ALL Torinos are beautiful! 💥

Those colors are rare 👍
Nice. Why not show a nice burnout?

Yes, very good. Front grill and back between the tail lights. 👍
@@johnyoungblood118 Beautiful car. I have a Gold 70 SCJ with 42k on the clock.
@@firstnationsindian8062 WOW, that gold color is rare. Awesome! 👌
WOW, that gold color is rare. Awesome!
Thumbs down dude. All this and you don't even start it??? That's what we are all her for.
I already slapped my self in the head for not firing it up!
Had one. What a rust bucket. Felt like the Fintstones.

God I hope that's a magnet not a sticker😢
the American flag - yes it is a magnet.
