Instinctively brake with your left foot in an automatic. Thats the only way ill drive an auto, i even do it with my daily 5 speed when im not coming to a complete stop.
My god that is one of the most beautiful sounding and looking things I’ve seen and heard since the last time I made that claim. But I’m sure it included a high compression and cammed out big block Ford. The stuff of living legend. The 63 1/2 Galaxie with the 427 dual quad side Oiler. It looked incredible: long and low and all business, but cooool. It sounded like bellowing dragon getting his throat cleared on wake up. And it even smelled like a bellowing dragon getting his throat cleared in the morning. Nothing like massive overlap, very high compression, and 102 race fuel to clear your head after the car show. Then there is the legend of the burgundy 1970 Torino GT, 429 Drag Pack, which I had heard sounded even more monstrous than the Galaxie. And menacing to look at. Illegal window tint. Phantom driver. Burgundy on black with louvers, Magnum 500s, hunkered down, factory duals just like the ones in this video(that matters-exhaust exit style shows the attitude of the owner. That’s science. At the airport in the totally illegal, get harassed by the moment pickup zone at the Charleston, SC airport. Perfect lighting. Perfect park. It’s like watching Darth Vader or Jaws shark sitting still, waiting to scare you. Waited until I was asked to move my 1971 Torino 500, hence the affinity for its brother. Never heard it. Never saw the driver. I told the security guy how important it was to hear that car. He didn’t care. So pretty. Never heard her voice. Never smelled her fart. I miss her.
My dad has owned a couple of these when he was young the best one was a white 429 super cobra jet 4 speed with the 4.33 gears! Beautiful car bro wicked awesome!!
Grandma had a red 70 fairlane, I was just a kid(born 1973) but I think I remember seeing 351-2v on the air cleaner lid once. She had it until 1980, it had to be 1980 cause she got a horizon :(
The chop from the cam in the beginning sounds perfect. Seems like you can hear some pinging in the beginning of the drive when you start to lean into it though. Aggressive timing? Or just a lean spot because carb lol
Good catch. It was pinging. That's why I wasn't running it harder. It does that every year when I get it out for the first time till I get fresh gas in it.
@@badmusclecars that's funny, I just rewatched it and I can actually see you let up a little once or twice when it starts pinging. Didn't even notice before.
Main bearings goin bad maybe..my old motor used to do that. It would hold 40-50 psi, under hard acceleration it would drop psi and the second I let off the pedal it would gain psi, and it didn’t have an external oil pump
IT'SME nope Chevy...just because it’s a mopar that has an external oil pump doesn’t mean that is the cause. There are 30 different things to take in that could cause that
And whatever happened to power shifting. What’s this taking your foot off the gas to shift gears? It’s not a semi. Powershift once you pedal foot hits the gas it doesn’t come off the floor till after you’re through the quarter
@@raginreggin3096 It pretty much boils down to the length of the handle. I recently bought a 65 GTO with TKO 5 speed with stock look/length shift handle. Even though it has the optional White Lightning shifter that tall handle makes the throws feel long and imprecise compared to new cars. Unfortunately the size of the old cars dictates a long handle to be able to reach.
C’mon man that was too easy. Even my ‘68 Country Squire had that pedal. And I’m pretty sure you’re Cobra Jet Mustang had my rear drums. They were huge and finned unlike any others I had previously seen. My rotors were a one year only part. I went to the local Parks Auto Parts in Charleston and after the guy telling me he had them in the computer and then ashes him to put his hands on them, I was there toooo quickly. Turns out the correct rotors were still in original packaging after some 30+ years! Unreal! Also big. I once tired to put one of my 14” trailer tires on as a spare because of the same bolt pattern, but the wheel wouldn’t fit over the rotors!
@@robertmazzonesr4607 But all Drag Pack cars were Cobra Jets. The standard Thunder Jet was the same engine as in an LTD and was not available with Drag Pack.
I never said that, all drag pack cars are SCJ's, all 70 cobra Torino's were 429's either thunderjet, cj or SCJ's, 71 cobra Torinos had 351C, or 429 but if you ordered a 3.91 or lower gear you got a drag pack 429scj!
That exhaust is exactly where it belongs. My GT Mustang dumps right behind the buckets as well, not only does it turn heads but it announces itself and its intentions from afar. Fords need to breath not be restricted.
@@craigd2599 oh because your an engineer as well right. They ran it through to the rear because the law required it. I guess you can explain why Nascar and NHRA run open headers if it hinders performance....... hmmmmm
@@randallbates9020 this car is neither NASCAR nor an NHRA car, dimwit. And the fuel ratios are adjusted for the open headers. BTW...Nascar does not run open headers. They have boom tubes and on some tracks run X pipes as well. I've been on the pit crew of a Top Alcohol Dragster for about 35 years so I know a couple of things.
@@craigd2599 thanks for calling me names that nullifies any qualifications you claim to have. Your attitude is snarky and you act like your poop doesn't stink, by the way everybody's poop stinks. I have been building Ford small blocks for 35 years and am almost 60 years old and if the engineers cared so much about any of it I would never have needed to polish and port every single head and manifold I have come across in all those years, the waste from not doing that is terrible and every single engine I have done it to has gotten better mileage and performance. I guess we just have differing points of view, so be it. I'm not here to attack you or call you childish names just offering my opinion on the matter, just as you did.
Ford really disliked putting four speeds in cars. Back in the day, I only saw one Torino with a stick shift. It’s tragic the Maverick Grabber didn’t have a manual transmission.
Uma vergonha esse seu vídeo viu como vc fais uma coisa dessa vídeo desse era pra ter no mínimo umas 5 câmeras e uns dois carros acompando fazer uma coisa cinematográfica esse carro merece
You should never keep your hand on the shift lever while you are driving a manual transmission car! That’s really a basic of proper driving. But then again, Americans don’t know how to drive stick shift.

There's something wonderfully violent about the sounds of the big block scj.
Now that is one cool Cobra, looks and sounds great.😎👍
Good hand through those gears, finest muscle car design of them all is the Torino Cobra
great looking cars...big car big torque pulls a tall gear .Love it
It is always nice for the left foot to have something to do while driving.

Lol you are a saint
Greatest camera shot...ever
Sounds awesome 😎
My buddy had one in early seventies. C-6 auto. Yellow. Torque monster!
The sounds of The shifting gears Nothing better
Fun Video. Nice Car. Love Mine. They're so much fun and rare compared to alot of the other makes / models out there!
Beautiful Car

Sweet Torino Cobra Jet 😍
Very nice!
Old School&Badass!!!
USA!💪
Thanks, I love it.
So soothing
bam awesome 429 scj and 4 speed!

@Mike Cap
Lolol I would too!
Mom got an 81 rabbit diesel and when the GTI came out I used to constantly pester her to get one.
They were tough cars and went like a rocket.
Reminds me of my 71 ranchero!!! Only mine had a 302
3:00 You're welcome😁
Some of us enjoy every moment of a badass car not just one someone is romping on it. You're welcome
Gotta love the old school Hurst shifter
Thanks for the fun ride!
The Fords have so much more class than the Chevys or Chrysler producks
I hit the thumbs up bottom first and then watched the video.
Come in guys he did rough her up a bit! But while still being respectful to the ole gurll?...
a great car you got there 429 nobody beat geared right Ford first on race day fast on race day and last but not least ferocious on race day

Wow, toploader transmission?
There's a reason most muffler shops won't cut the exhaust forward of the rear axle, nice car though...
Let's hope he doesn't pass out!
Bad ass man what I'd give for that car
Torque monster
Dang !!! ... backed right over me...
What sound and run better with some tailpipes.
Sick ride man..what are those mufflers ?
Love the pedal view! Can you make cold starts of your vehicles with the same view? Would be amazing to see all the startup procedures
Just like the one I wrecked
I m sorry for the question, only 4 or 5 changes?
i could tell it was 429 before i seen it 💪💪💪
watch the keys pullin back to 9oclock. thats tourqe.
not many 4 speed torinos
What cam do you have in it?
Nice spin in the Cobra.
67GT390 I had a yellow one just like it 19 years old it's amazing I didn't end up dead want a lot of races had a lot of fun
let me drive, give You some old school fry!!!!! the tires
The white ball that came with the Hurst was the best . Many times shifting with your palm not your fingers . 😎
I need help to find the best manual transmission for my 73’ 429 ford Gran Torino!! Thank you! Great sound, great video!
Eastside Motorsports. I found them on Facebook. They put an estimate together for me with a 6-spd behind an FE.
Best Ford 4 speed would be the almighty Top Loader, exactly what's in this car.
I lied. The Car in this vid has tailpipes just after the mufflers, not factory exit. My bad. Still sound awesome.
The chop from the cam in the beginning sounds perfect.

Just wondering, why the oil pressure drop during high rpm? My big block Plymouth doesn't do that.
I'm 74 yrs old and I could give him some lessons on driving a 4sp
Main bearings goin bad maybe..my old motor used to do that. It would hold 40-50 psi, under hard acceleration it would drop psi and the second I let off the pedal it would gain psi, and it didn’t have an external oil pump
IT'SME nope Chevy...just because it’s a mopar that has an external oil pump doesn’t mean that is the cause. There are 30 different things to take in that could cause that
Where you see that.?those aftermarket gauges?.looks good to me

Interesting how long the throw of that Hurst shifter is.

That was banging gears
Why don't you downshift?
have one in shop for sale
Does that have a C J engine?
J-Code
Did all Cobra Torinos have the Drag pack? J Code car.
No. Standard engine was the mild 360 hp Thunder Jet.
Hotwheel66 drag pack was determined by the rear gear, had to be 3.91 or lower, same was true for the Mustang!

What mufflers? Pipe size?
3" Dynomax Super Turbo with no tailpipes
Sweet.
Would be nice to hear it down shift too🤦♂️
a car just like that is rusting away a few miles from me .. the widow will not sell ...
willie moon don’t you hate that? I walked by a 69 427 red drop top Vette for years in my hood, guy would never sell it just rotted.
Take it
have one in my shop its for sale
I’ve only ever seen one 69’ ford Torino cobra 🐍 in drumheller alberta.. why don’t u see many of these cars? Sucks
I think the 428 torino cj was faster ?
fang check. The 428 was faster !!!

The car is almost perfect it needs the hidden headlights then it'll be perfect.
