This listing is for my beloved 1970 429 CJ, Ford Torino Cobra with a factory 4-speed transmission. This car is unusual in that it came with manual drum brakes and manual steering. A friend of mine sold me this car just before he passed away several years ago. Max bought the car in the early 80's from the original owner (see documentation) so that makes me the third registered owner. The 429 CJ motor and transmission were completely rebuilt by Alderidge Motor Sports in Portland, OR. As the video attests to and the documentation shows, a top notch job was ordered and it runs out VERY strong. The drive-train has about 30,000 miles on it since the extensive rebuild and would need very little to be rated a 10. It does not have its numbers-matching block anymore, and the carburetor is an aftermarket Holley, incorrect numbered distributor and other minor details need attention or are not correct (see video). It has a VERY solid Western body and some very nice interior parts. Please watch the video for specifics as I go into much further detail there. Feel free to call me at 503-463-1130 if you need further information. I feel this car is worth about $25,000.00, but my reserve is much less than that. We can help with shipping worldwide as I have done it many times over the last 25 years. I will consider trades for 67-73 parts or parts cars. Thank you! Don Rush 503-463-1130
This is how you sell a car, he's not trying to get top dollar for it and not reveal any potential issues, he's being so honest with his sales pitch and I really appreciate that.
I bought a new 1970 429 SCJ Torino when I returned home from Vietnam. Man do I regret selling that car.
I had the same car but yellow and I got it to run 11.70 @116mph. People don't realize that these were quite fast for being such a big car and that they actually put out around 425-450ish HP stock, Ford underated them at 370/375hp for insurance reasons. Really miss that car!
Well,peoples;I had a 68 Torino GT 390 HiPO cruising through Shoneys Big Boy one nite,say 1972 so I challenged a guy in one of these bright yellow and we went out on 29S. by-pass and from a roll ,I was ahead in 1st.and 2nd. gear ,when we shifted into 3rd,he passed me like I was sitting still!Once these big ports get to flowing on the 429 they really get arockin!I could race all nite on $2 of 100 octane race anybody, anywhere,anytime!These hippies were up in the trees at Villa Maria Academy tripping on acid and one of them recounted to me later how cool it was to see and hear me jetting up Rivermont
Great car. Thanks for the video. BTW, it's a 429 cobra jet, it's supposed to be driven like one.
Dude, you are a legend! No pussyfooting! Cool. I'm in NZ, I visited Portland in about 92/3 , cos I had/have friends in Poison Idea. My biggest memory of that visit was seeing a coupla Mexican dudes in a pro street ( remember that?!) 70 Challenger, so f*cling cool. Love your vid,even if I'm 5 years late. I have a 70 Ranchero, small block, that I put a T5 in, and it rocks. See y'all!
This is one of the best car vids i've ever seen
Man you have a fine car, best of luck to you on selling it! You are honest and that's hard to find these days!
That's a bad ass car right there
Now thats how you sell a car. Nice piece of nascar history ;)
I wish i bought this car!
What a great video.My buddy had a Torino with a 390 that had been hopped up by the pre owner.He toatled it dragging me in my Camero.He was kicking my ass right before he lost it,Very sad.
I don’t know how many times I have watched this video. God I’d kill to have a 4spd ford/merc car from this era. My 69 torino Gt with the c6 just doesn’t excite me anymore
I like how the the srt 8 that just randomly pulls behind him on a country road is the same exact color and has same decal as the srt 8 in the backround of the begining of the video. How random is that, wow lol.
Sipping a cocktail and dreaming of MOPAR here this afternoon. So glad to find your video. Bravo, my good man! Really enjoyed it!
I had one was dark blue with the sports slats , 4 speed close box w Hurst and 4.30 detroit lockers really quick
But I agree with you, I like cars that are period correct over factory restored show cars. I like a car that is as it wouldve been when owned in its prime. The period correct aftermarket tires someone would've swapped on, the traction bars everyone was running, the glasspacks, all that. Forget making it exactly the way it rolled off the factory floor, in my opinion that's not the true history of the car. The true history is in how it would've been in its prime with all the typical goodies everyone was adding, all the typical character these cars accumulated, that in my opinion is true history
I love this car. I am picking up a 351C 4 spd shaker GT this weekend. and I can't wait to drive it.
This has to be one of the best videos hands down I've ever watched.Gald he sold his car,to bad it came time to part with it.Entertaining,informative,and just a whole lotta fun to watch.
awesome bro, I needed that smile ... love the vid
