In 1974 my dad helped me buy a 68 mustang coupe that had the straight six with the three speed manual transmission, it had the turn signal lights in the hood, the body was perfect and had a fresh paint job of dark forest green, we bought it for $500 from my best friend’s older brother (he was trading it in for a new mustang and they were giving him $500 trade in allowance)…it was a fast car with a V-8, but it sure was a good looking car with a perfect interior and exterior, it was my high school car, my dad loved me enough to loan me the money to buy the car, I really miss my dad now…thanks for reading
The Ford Torino Talladega is now for me top 10 most beautiful american cars ever
A friend here in Idaho has a Cobra Torino drag pack car that he bought new while serving in Vietnam & picked it up when he stepped off the ship in Oregon. He scattered a few 429's running at Bonneville & quit racing a few years ago but still has all the original drive train.
It was cool to see the LaFayette Ford Galaxy 500. My father was a service manager when Fred Lorenzen was driving the LaFayette Ford race car.
Years back I picked up a GT350, it was12 years old and all original. Funny thing is that I never sold it, in the garage right now. Best, car related, decision, I ever made.....
Great watch, thanks for your time, work and posting..........
Well, clean it up and sell it for 4 million dollars.
4 mill, I wish........@@Thesaurcery4U2C
I have a super rare Ford (Mercury). 1968 428CJ Ram Air GT Cougar. They only produced 127 428 Cougars in 68. Mine is one of 14 Cardinal Red ones, one of 2 of those with white interior. The other one being a non GT, non Ram air.
My father bought a brand new 69 Torino talladega my mom was not so happy . Those where the days. His brother had a 68 GTX 440.
Which one do you think was faster
Ford Australia XA Falcon GTHO Phase IV. One of one before Ford pulled the pin on production due to political pressure to stop making "bullets on wheels"
Although only one car ever went down the Ford production line as a Phase IV, there were another three being modified for racing by the official factory team
What about the 1973 Ford XA GTHO Phase 4 ? . . not a prototype or an experiment but a complete model with exactly 1 registered car made. It weighed about 3000 pounds, also had a hand built 351 Cleveland putting out around 370HP, a close ratio top loader, a nine inch diff with optional rear discs and could do 160mph.
@indykartsindoorgokarting6711, three were built and only one survived. They were built by Ford Australia as special Falcon models for Rally racing and were not factory production cars.
Because this video is Ford America cars, not Australian.
@@sergeantmasson3669 touring car racing not rally racing
This is another usa centric upload.. don’t worry about it!!
There is one that is calypso green white trim with a Sido number factory correct and production owned by a dentist in Sydney NSW and there was six cars built and raced only one was rallied all others were done for Bathurst and I have numerous photos etc
First Ford Muscle car was in 1957. Supercharged 312 Y block engine.
Fords 1st hot rod was flathead!
You're talking about the 1957 Fairlane 500. My Grandmother had one of those. Really. My Grandmother was really something. : )
Right! And you could get the Paxton in the '57 Thunderbird as well.
@@UberLummox Paxton supercharger was an option for any '57 Ford car with a 312 V8 engine.
@@oldmanfromoc7684Hot rod and muscle car are two different vehicles. No Ford factory ever produced a "hot rod."
Awesome history of Ford cars loved it thank you
I'm not a greedy person, but i wished i had all these cars in MY garage 😂
Me first lol
O how I miss my 70 drag pack Torino. Just young and dumb. First car I ever owned. The 429scj was removed and a tired 390fe was installed when I bought it. It did run 13.50 on street tires after I rebuilt the 390,loved that 4speed. I did however managed a 12.50 on slicks and a 4.56 rear gear running out of gas 3/4 down the 1/4 mile .
Should have run a 4.11 rear gear, it would have held on to the end.
I can't believe that my 1972 Torino fastback with a 429 v4 wasn't here just earlier one but still good 😊 times ahead
It would appear you missed a rare one. The 1970 1/2 Falcon 429-4-speed of which only around 15 were built.
In America?
@@YS-fr6nu Yep. At the same plant as the Torino. It was sort of a curtain call for the Falcon and, with the 429, it went out with a bang.
A Falcon with a 429??? Wow. That'd be something. Ahhh. Looked at it and it's the Torino. They diddled around with the 70.5.
1971 Ford Falcon GTHO phase 3 was the world's fastest 4 door in 1971 and now are worth over 1m today
Actually false fastest 4 door production car was a European car named Revolto or something. Had a chevy engine and 14 mile was 13.6 seconds.
Hmmm not sure bout that one mate their was a Mercedes 4 door that was close never heard of what your talking about
@@nedkelly9688 Isa Rivolto. Italian car with a Chevrolet engine.
Ok. So you do know that there are high percentage Ford vehicles outside of USA?
Take a look at the GTHO Falcon range built in Australia.
The GTHO phase 3 & phase 4 are extreme rare vehicles. They were amongst the fastest production sedans in the world at the time.
Actually, Ford sells MOST of it's vehicles outside of the U.S.
The Fastest 4door Sedan on the Planet ..made in Australia
I actually owned a 1970 Torino GT with the 429 scj w/shaker. Mine was seafoam green with the yellow to dark green laser stripe. I wish I still had it.
G'day to you, ok, but what about all the Australian Fords the you could buy in the 70s the GTHO series for one, one slightly Miffed Ozzie!
Very very very very............................. rare cars🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love the content. Very rare cars for sure.
Most car buffs know about the Mercury Marauder and the S55 package. But, what info is out there about the 1958 Mercury Super Marauder 430cid with 3 deuces on top?
I am surprised you did not mention the 1969 Cobra. It was based on a Torino but there was no mention of "Torino" anywhere on the car.
I had a new Talledega and wished I still had it. With 3:50 gears it became a stop light bandit! The one I kept is a pristine '70 Torino GT convertable, 429, 4-speed, with air. One of 32 converables ever built with this drive line.
Sure you did
If you think I'm lyin', ask me any question about my Talledega!@@tyzon00800
One I didn't see, but so massively underrated, outperformed most of the bigger Cobra Jet vehicles, '69 Torino GT Convertible, but with a 351 Cobra Motor, NOT Cobra Jet. Absolutely amazing vehicle.
I’ve been an absolute Ford nut for over 35 years, from falcons to the model b, mustang to Galaxie, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a “351 cobra”. What do you think that is?
@@MrJett1971 351 Cobra was based off the Windsor of I remember correctly. Modified specifically for the race circuit. The Torino GT Convertible only had 200 originally manufactured to qualify. Only one is known left in the MVD database as still registered. There was a company that did take the Torino and modify it into a convertible, but the limited run from Ford I believe was for NASCAR as the pace car or it might have been for the road course circuit I don't remember. I was only a very young kid when my dad owned his up until about 1990. If I remember, the 351 Cobra had about 500hp conservatively with a 10:1 ratio. But in true Windsor fashion, it ran hot if you didn't have the correct thermostat.
Oh yes have mercury comet, 66 factory 352 2dr, Torino Gt twister 70 1/2. Clevland 351 plus a stroked 351:427/ 70 cougar 351 windsor elimanator/looking to buy back my old 70 mercury marauder but it needs a motor first
things first,, gonna have to build a double garage now my under house garage is stuffed with my machines -transes need azephyr
geared T-10 top loaders/ have working fmx’s too,, small& large cases also not c-6s but have 3 also
Some great Fords in there that's for sure. Missed a bunch out though.
XC Cobra, Phase IV GTHO, XA Landau coupe.
What about the AUSTRALIAN 1971 xy gtho phase 3 falcon the fastest 4 door production car of it's time very rare and brings 1,000,000 dollars plus.
Looks like anything outside the US is of no importance
The 68-69 428 CJ the 429 replaced was rated at “335” horsepower “wink, wink,” while the 429s were 370 and 375 respectively.
Awesome Ford still keeping power going even today
Excellent well done thank you very much great video
Pearson won his 3rd championship in the talladega
Excellent stuff bro
I have laid hands on several of these cars, and have been on the block when a few of them have crossed. Iconic automobiles.
I know where one of those 25 thunderbirds are at. The owner of the restoration shop I work for has an original one, and wont ever sell it.
Keep bugging him
@@YS-fr6nu Oh I don't want it. I'm not a Thunderbird guy. The car belonged to his dad who just passed away and they have many fond memories in the car together. He will keep it till he dies then his son will get it.
The Shelby GT 350s with the black paint with the gold stripes were Hertz Car Rentals, rental cars. there was a funny thing about these car's? after people were finding out about these cars. they would rent them and pull the Shelby high performance 289ci small block engines out of them. and replace them with regular 289ci small block Ford engines. Hertz Car Rentals didn't know this was going on for quite some time.
Until now, I had never even heard of the Torino King Cobra. Just in these still shots, it looks capable of about 500 mph! Wow. That car could out sell a lot of 'supercars' even today.
It wasn't as aroe as the 69 ,but it sure looks like it would cheat the wind ,it needed a rear spoiler at big speed there wasn't much down force on the rear end ,growing up my dad drove a 70 grabber blue 429/4 speed torino cobra very fast for a 4.000 pound plus car
@@darrellsomers5427 Not being an expert but still knowing enough from paying attention to other people, I noticed he lack of a spoiler and thought it odd. Your comment clicked it over for me and I realized that the lack of downforce was what I was thinking. Thank you for the comment. It helped clear up that missing thought....
Great video.
My brother had a 428 Torino ,yes it was Fast and it look good also. I did get to drive it.
A car that doesn't really get any mention anywhere that I feel was (still is) one of Ford's unrecognised "muscle cars" is the smaller Ford Maverick 👌
As an Australian we never got these in Australia? The closest we had in similar sized car was the Ford Capri? So I would really love to see a Ford Maverick with an Aussie Bara 4L turbo I6 motor swapped in it 🙏
Dear Santa......
A hopped up 302ci v8 works well with a stick. Had 1 in 76 model If I can remember.
The high performance version of the Maverick in the United States was the Maverick Grabber. they were usually noticeable by their dual functional hood scoops. and their rear deck lid spoiler, and alloy wheels. and their special graphics. and they said Grabber in the bulges in the hood where the hood scoops are. they were equipped with a high output 302ci engine with a four barrel carburetor, and a four speed. they were pretty fast and were AWESOME drag cars. they were somewhat rare but not super rare.
@@user-dp8gb9zu8v they are the baby Mustang and I would have loved to have seen some at drag events but literally never have seen one?
nice video.
Bob Tasca Sr built the first 427 Fairlane Thunderbolt jn 1963.
Thunderbird...what a beautiful car😊😊...
how about the 57 tbird supercharged or dual carbs?
Ford aero cars won more NASCAR races than the MOPAR aero cars.
I've seen them in shows! Way back in the 80's!
My uncle had a 1970 Torino GT with the 429 super cobra jet new, blew it up, rebuilt it with better components, and it would eat hemi cars easily, big block Chevys were not even in the same league. Biggest problem was you couldn't put much tire under it, wheel wells were to narrow.
LOL, BB Chevies not even in the same category? You’re right about that one, they were a few steps above both of them, LOL The only 429 worth it’s salt was the Boss, and then it needed a lot of modifications to make it run right, junior. The earlier 427 FE motors were beasts, even the 406, 405 HP motors topped the 429’s
@@Musclecar1972 well, the 545 stroker, was a 460, I have in my truck now makes close to 700 horse, over 800 torque, but I've got a little bit of cash into that one. Might get that from a modern Hemi, but I don't think Chevy has much that gets close. I could be wrong, but nobody catches up to tell me different.
Pontiac had some decent stuff in the early 60's, and the super dutys held there own, but the Olds were a joke, only good thing they had was the rear ends from the mid 50's
@@oldfordcarsandtrucks Those are some tall numbers, without a dyno sheet, kinda hard to wrap my mind around it, not saying it’s impossible, but kinda unlikely, as for 700 hp, have you ever looked at how easy it is to get to that number with very little work to a BB Chevy? I’m an Olds guy personally, but have had many of all the brands, Chevy is the easiest and cheapest to get big numbers from, just my experience. Not crapping on your parade, I figure if you stroked out one of those, you’ve got somy big money involved. Just saying, of the big three, Chevy is the easiest and cheapest, and can build huge numbers way beyond what you’re stating, for much less money, and the stock BB motors of the past we’re knocking on those numbers if the truth be told L-88, ZL-1 those ring a bell? Ford, or Mopar didn’t really have an answer for them in the late 60’s, without a ton of mods. Ty Boss 429, was a monster in its own rite, but needed a bunch of mods to compete, out of the crate, for street performance I would stick with the 427 FE, nice motor, very strong, didn’t take a lot to make it humm.
@@oldfordcarsandtrucks Well I guess you’re partially right, the olds head’s don’t breathe worth a damn, but they make torque like nobody’s business, try that big ford against a 66 w-30 442 sometime, or if you like a little small block W-31 LOL 😂 I owned a 63 Super Duty, was a nice car, also owned a 62 galaxy 2 door post car, 406, 405 hp, 4 speed, 4:11 rear, had a 455 HO TA brand new, it was a turd, have a 72 W-30 right now, I ordered brand new, fast? No, but quick, In it’s current state, fast, yes, not stock anymore, but still a numbers matching car, lol The 429-460 Fords were and are not good performance motors, maybe you built yourself a torque motor, that’s about it, they don’t rev any better than an olds, and in stock trim don’t match the torque either, Olds make an easy 500 ft lbs from the factory, personally, I like all the old stuff, not going to get into it with another motor head, we need to stick together, before the battery boys come knocking! LOL 😂 👍👌
The Ford Torino GT looks very much like the Aussie XP Ford Falcon (made famous in the original Mad Max movie franchise ). Yesterday I passed by one of these new retro muscle cars that was parked & it looked very much the same as the aformentioned Torino & XB Falcon (same window configuration & shape with obvious subtle differences) except it was a Chevy Comaro (!?). One might think they copped some ideas off Ford 🤔😁
My 2nd car was a 1970 Gran Torino with a 351 Cleveland and a 9" rear end. I loved that car.
There are 2 talladega sitting in a small building in mclean illinois.
1967 SHELBY GT500 SUPER SNAKE is my all time favourite American muscle car
It had to be sold 😢😢😢
Anything built be Ford has to be good .end of stofy
The guy who has the red 350 convertible actually drives it to car meets down in Florida.
I would have thought the phase 4 in Australia, and the bill Bourke xw with the 428 cobra Jet motor,only one built, would have got a mention.
Daddy was a Ford tech. He started in 1970. Diesels before that. He owned the whole roster at one time or another. The first I remember was a 65 Galaxie with a 289. Of course he did Lord knows what to it, but it was fast. He'd take me for joyrides with no seat belts. Torino's, T-birds, mavericks, pintos, mustangs, and a bunch of trucks I truly wish we had kept.
Good examples of not willing to deal w/ the real World. What really made sense, cars that only "raced" on 1/4 mile straight lines, closed tracks where you only turned left, or the Australian road courses?
I manged to obtain an Aussie XC ute and overall it was a far better vehicle then what I ever bought out of Dearborne.
Not a blue oval dude - but Henry built sum killer Shite !!
Who cares, maybe people don't like the brand you have.
2 Mustang Shelby Super Snake cars were built, NOT just one.
That’s not right. We built a few over here (Australia) and they are all in the Shelby Registry.
@@edthomas8486 WRONG, Carroll Shelby built only two Super Snake cars. Only one still exists today.
My bucket list consists of owning one of each of these cars. In a picture, with a frame, on my wall.
The last time I saw that black mustang previously owned by Darrel Johnson was at Looney trucking lot in Ostrander Oh
Like this.
you could add to the list the "FoxBody Mustang SSP" a Foxbody with s Police only option of a 351w, only available to police from factory so would be almost impossible to find one now.
I'm a pretty hardcore Mustang guy, and I'm actually surprised that I didn't know that they offered at 351 in the fox body? Are you 100% sure on that? I know the ssr/cop coupes had a few tweaks unavailable to the public but thought they were essentially a 'strippo' coupe?
@@lancemannion4113 i cant remember where i seen the information but a 351 was an option just one that was only offered for service personal and only if they requested it it think from memory less then 1000 were made
The legendary Ken Block's, HOONICORN. 66 AWD Twinturbo V8 7 speed. 1,400hp. Mustang
dont see how ford falcon GTHO phase 3 didnt make it to this list in its day fastest 4 door sedan on planet
i love ford !!! i love my hand built 93 mustang notch 460 more than anything or anyone on this toilet I love all Ford's but the foxbody holds a place in my heart...woooooo
The 69 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler 11 aka Torino Talladega?? A guy I know bought one and stored it since new. It has a digital dashboard. For that era, that was un heard of.
My father owned Abell auto parts and salvage. And we owned a kale Yarbrough, special white body, blue roof.
What about the Ford King Cobra?
My high school friend's father had a '70 Ford Torino GT w/429. She hated that car, and called it, 'The Prison', because the interior was all black. I liked it, and used to talk to her Dad about it and other muscle cars we both liked, back in the day. I think he wanted us to date, to be honest.
I guess the title should be 9 Rarest US Fords... Pretty sure there's a few Aussie models rarer (and more expensive) than the ones on the vid.
The Talledega was so good it also lured Richard Petty away from Plymouth for 1 season.
Almost had a 1969 Torino Fastback with a 390. Unfortunately I was 16 and my dad said it was too much car for me, and it was $4,000 (about $40,000 now). Instead he got a 1968 Chevrolet Impala with a 327. He never knew but it would do 135 mph.
What about the "One" 1971 Boss 302 that Bob Perkins restored.
It had to be the Super Snake to be sold 😢😢😢😢
What about the KR500 ?
The only reason the King Cobra isn't on the list is that it never went into production.
1968 Cougar GTE W code 427. 357 units built.
Ford Torino King Cobra clearly inspired Datsun 240Z's design.
The Jaguar e type did
@@JohnSmith-rw8uhE type is correct, even the dash layout was copied
very interesting ...thank you ....................................just sayin ...........................:)
You missed a Mustang model. The year Ford and Caroll Shelby parted ways they had built 3 Shelby Mustang prototype cars and two were destroyed but one was managed to get taken home for a man's son but the son was in the military and didn't return alive so the man sold the car eventually to a friend of his sons. I know about this because I met the owner of the car and rode in it.
You missed one, There was a King Cobra Torino.
I had a chance to trade my built 289 from my 65 GT Mustang with $500 for a friends 67 GT500 427 tri power. Didn't have money to stuff it in. The old days, huh?Bought a clean 66 GT convertible at a dealer for $600 to fix my front body damage from a wreck.
1970 1/2 Ford Falcon 429. 94 units were made.
😎👍🏽
How about the twin-supercharged Shelby Cobra Super Snake-two made, with one owned briefly by bill Cosby?
Or Lil Red and the Green Hornet Shelby Mustang coupes? Two total.
Or the two Quarter Horse Mustangs built in 1970?
Or the 1968 mercury cougar gt-e, 37 built (semantics aside, it’s still a FoMoCo product).
How about the two 1970 Lawman boss 429 Mustangs?
So many cars left off this list…
1972 XA Ford Falcon GTHO Phase IV
Jist found a 67 cyclone the fastback one sitting in a pick and pull yard here in spokane. I cannot believe someone junked it. Car is lazer straight no running gear but damn. Already asked if i could buy it but after its put in the yard ya cant. I cant believe an employee didn't buy it .
I know where a super snake is located, a 1 owner as well
Mad Max XB GT Falcon most Iconic an Recognised car
World Wide😊..
.
There is another 1 off Fairlane in a museum in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Guess you didn't find them all.
I'm not sure if consider the t bird a musclecar, but it is definitely cool my favorite t bird
You would be surprised, my father had two Thunderbird's a1963 and a 1964. the 63 Tbird had the 406ci FE engine with tock cast iron headers. and the 64 Tbird had the 390ci FE engine. and for big heavy cars they were relatively fast and they handled really well. they didn't launch off the line as good as smaller lighter cars. but they made up for it at higher speeds and they had long legs. they could do over 150 MPH without much of a struggle. my father wasn't much of a Ford person even though he owned several Ford's over his lifetime. he was trained for six years by Chevrolet after he got out of the Korean war. and was a transmission specialist for GM. and he was pretty impressed with those Thunderbird's. a person wouldn't consider them muscle car's. but they could definitely get away with calling them high performance luxury cars.
miss the ford cortina big 6
i am surprised number 8 is so rare .. there is one rotting away a few miles from me ..
Go buy it.
t6he widow owner wont sell .. it has been sitting since 1986 when hubby died .. i know the car and her well ..@@efandmk3382
@@efandmk3382the guy who owns is probably one of those "gonna build it one of these days" guy. And it will sit and rot away
What about the 50, 428 Mustangs that were built for super stock? They predated the Cobra Jet models.
Ford 390 tri-power was 401 HP from the factory.
But that is not the hydraulic cam Tbird engine !
'67 Fairlane 500XL please
No King Cobra Torino cars ever turned a tire on a NASCAR track.
True fact
Yeah one reason is that little Billy Francis said they were too fast after watching 👀 them in practice laps and he was always against Ford
@@davidgraham7325 They also had to follow the engine restrictions that Nascar put on the winged cars. Small block motor. Never even built any of these for Nascar.
@@tcjohnson3437 FALSE. 1971 There was a MOPAR aero car that ran in NASCAR with a small block engine and it was a failure.
@sergeantmasson3669 Didn't say nobody tried to run a wing car in 1971. They were just useless with a small block. This Torino never even got built for Nascar. It would have to run a small block too. Aero restrictions. Nothing false
The Ford FE series was a wonder and no less impressive than the Chevy rat series and small block in its variety of versions.
You missed out on a couple of cars. One documented 1971 Boss 302 Mustang and one or two 1969 Boss 429 Cougars used as drag race cars.
No Ford Falcon GTHO Phase 4?
What about the mid year 1985.5 mustang SVO
6 of them were Fairlane based cars lol.
Torino Richard Petty Edition, I believe 1970. Richard Petty himself forgot that Ford made them.🤓👍
4 what 😮
