@@jerryparks6123 wtf are talking about the best car ever made was made by Chrysler. The Plymouth roadrunner. It would smoke this faggoty ford in a second!
I've got a 73 gran Torino sport with a 429 interceptor and top loader 4 speed 9 in with 389 gears. 149 off the assembly line. I've had her since 1980. My first high-school love and still got her.
Unless I miss my guess, this is a clone..I do believe there was only one made, the guy that owns the one is a retired Ford employee, older man, it's yellow. Had a 429, factory was nowhere near 700hp
I waited all day back in 2000 or 2001 at Barrett Jackson to see this awesome car go across the block in Scottsdale. All sorts of pictures taken while waiting in line. What a thrill to see this car.
@Allyn Howell Pretty amazing huh? Especially considering that in 1970. the highest HP rated factory engine was the LS6 454 Chevy. And contrary to what you may believe, the weakness of the Boss 429 was the lack of torque. Google the 10 fastest cars of American muscle engines.
@Allyn Howell Hey stupid, the Boss 429 is a factory engine and a damned slow one at that. If you want to extend your stupid argument to non-factory engines. look no farther than Toyota's TRD offings. It worked, I hooked a fool on an unbaited hook. Sucker!! LMAO!
***** hey Kyle greetings from Panama. Can you please find a 2003-2005 or 2006 mercedes benz clk 320?my dad used to have that car and we loved it andmwhen he sold it i never saw it again. PLEASE try to find a clk 320
Haven't really watched one of your in depth reviews lately, but gotta say nothing is really all that different and I like that! You show us the car, you explain the features, you dont try to give it an out of 10 score or anything, you just show us what its got.
I also must assume as "car shows" and "reviewers" go, I'm not surprised if you can get hold of some very exciting and interesting cars because you simply dont criticize them, which some would say is a deficiency of your show, but I personally think that its quite nice because you aren't praising it either. Equal opportunity i guess.
Thanks a lot man! That's exactly the point of my videos. Treat each of them the same way while giving everyone a thorough look at what it's all about. Thanks for watching!
MrWhoisthisisme but judging from its fresh look , they should have fixed the rattling as well .. i know i would've gone crazy about it:) i get irritaded if a pencil doesn't stay still in the glove compartment
I saw this on eBay a month back for sale for $500,000! I was really curious about it and you just happened to review it a while later! Great review as always!
Wow what a beautiful car! I'm a Mopar man myself but this thing is cool as hell! I'm just a couple of years too young to have got to see it but can you imagine King Cobra's, Superbirds and Dayton's going at it on NASCAR tracks!
One of the best car reviews I have seen so far on TH-cam. Excellent editing, narration, camera angles, etc. I loved the way that you had the sound of the car from the vantage point of all three cameras at once. Very, very well done. Subscribed ! One question though : the headlights ! Do they pop up like the Daytona, or is this a non street ready car with non functional lights ?
Alexander Curtis thanks to this video, if you're ever considering purchasing one of those two in existence you'll know the seats can fold to make ingress and egress a whole lot easier for rear seat passengers.
And that was 100% REAL vinyl too! lol. My brother had a '67 Ford with the XL package, which was a 429 Ford with 475-HP! He didn't really buy it because it was fast, he wanted a rag top and that one just happened to be for sale at the time. He never lost a drag race though, even once!
Kyle, I love your reviews and the effort and amount of professionalism you put into them is superb. I just really wish you had turned on those flip up head lights like you do on every car.
There was a MOPAR junk yard outside of Springfield, MO (the town was west of Springfield) in the early 90's that had a real king cobra it was white. He also had a original Sox & Martin 70 Cuda pro-stock car that was COMPLETE. The original hemi was setting on a couple of tires next to the car however, there was a real hemi in the car as well. This guy had a LOT of original MOPAR stuff in this garage. I will never forget the King Cobra or that pro-stock car. I worked for Safety Kleen Corp as a service rep and got the complete tour of all of his unique stuff that he had.
Another great review! It brings back many memories from the 70's when I got my first car. P.S. - It looks like the car's Temp gauge is non-functional since it never moved off it's left axis.

Too bad No other Boss 9's were produced with the proper (horse power producing ) combination this one has ! Hard to believe no ribbon tach? LOVE the way it sounds!!!
The biggest reason the King Cobra was not developed further was NASCAR had ban the car before it was ever Raced. Ford had already pulled out of racing so there was no money for this race project! The new NASCAR rule was screw Chrysler and Ford to let GM products win.
@@turttell2736 I've seen plenty of LS6's lose to a 69 or 70 Torino with 'just' the CJ motor, and NHRA saw more loses to the SCJ versions. Why do you think the rules are now set so that the 385 series BBF are barred from competing while rats and elephants aren't. The 429/429 Boss/460 385 series motors are JUST SO out of the bore spacing, cam to crank distance, and a few other specs. It is called buyout to kill off the to often winners. Same reason France Sr. and the NHRA feared the 427 SOHC so much. I ran a 8-71 on a Cammer in a ^* Torino GT fastback on both track and street in the late 80's/early 90's, never lost to a blown LS6 once with an 'ancient' FE.
yeah its sad cars lost their style after 70 even the mustangs and camaros were never the same until the 2000s and still aren't as pretty to me ... Equus would have the right idea if they weren't 500,000$
I had a 70 with a 429, it didn't look like that,nor did it have 700hp but it went through tires like butter and owned the GM rust buckets the other kids brought to school in the 80s. It had the same wheels and was a dark green color. RIP, Summer of 85, crashed into bridge rail to avoid hitting another car.
No tachometer, it sounds like a motorcycle and a lawnmower arguing, the interior looks ancient, it'll get 5 gallons to the mile, and it's massive. GOD I WANT ONE.
My older brother by 3 1/2 years helped me build my first car when I was 15 in 1980. Its was a 1968 Torino Gt coupe 302 4 speed. It was maroon with black side stripes (my grandfather painted it for me) a black vinyl top and black interior. Man I loved that car. I drove it until a year after I got married and my daughter was born. I was 21 and we needed the money for the baby so it was worth it, she is now a 2nd grade teacher. But 😫 I still miss that car. I get to drive a 2015 ScatPack Challenger now so that eases the pain a little lol.
Lived in Albuquerque for 5 years.had an emission testing station and a small used car lot on old route 66.We bought a 70 429 torino 4speed car from a guy leaving town. Went through the car, brakes suspension, tune up had an original 110,000 on the clock or close . This was in 1988.The previous owner ordered it with 3.12 gears for those wide open spaces.You could get 55 in first. Took this thing out 40 going south and let it loose. Long,long Legs passed like 130 and it was all over the place. Started to come up on some guys ass well over a hundred. Hit the brakes to slow down and there was none. They were there but wouldn't hook up till 80 discs in front also. Blew rite by the guy I was trying to slow up for scared the shit out of me.. Took it back to the shop and never drove it again. Some guy bought it from out of state and was glad to see it go. Moral of this story!!! Memories of old muscle cars are better than owing one. I'll take a new Challenger or Mustang or Chevy any day.
Thank god you prefer newer muscle cars that way when you are doing a buck fifty on a highway and you crash you destroy a newer POS not a car that has survived 50 years to die by a moron endangering people on the highway.
Mopar had to do the Daytona and Superbird because the Charger 500 wouldn't beat the Taledega and Cyclone Spoiler II. In 70' Ford was just about ready to bail out of factory racing support due to the Feds and other issues.
Yep, the standard charger and the 500 had a nasty tendency to spin out at high speed due to that air dam of a front grille. Just tacking on that nose gave the car a .28 drag coefficient. Quite slippery even by modern standards.
Awesome ride. I'm a Mopar guy first but my Dad is a Ford guy so I've always had a soft spot for the Blue Oval. My favorite Ford's will always be the 65-67 Galaxie R-Code 427 and 66-67 Fairlane R-Code 427 but I've always really liked the 69 Fairlane Cobra/Cyclone CJ, 70-71 Torino Cobra, and 70 Cyclone Spoiler. In fact a 70 Cyclone Spoiler 429 SCJ Drag Pack is my favorite car ever built by Mercury
There was more to the design of the winged Mopar cars than simply being "more aerodynamic". The tall wing on the back played an equally important role in the high banked turns on the super speedways. The deep ( front to back ), blade-shaped vertical side of each wing came into play whenever the rear of the car would get loose in the turns, where the vertical side would catch air & literally push the rear of the car back in line with the front, resulting in superior tracking while going through and exiting the turns. Due to this, I believe the wing actually gave the car more of an advantage than the rest of the body did for aerodynamics. It was so effective that NASCAR made the winged cars illegal, declaring they had "an unfair advantage".
@@bwtv147 SIGH...........Good grief man.........ANYONE who knows anything about these cars during this era (and I was there, by the way ) already knows that. Besides, I was not discussing the Ford's.........I was clearly zeroing in on the wing of the Mopar's, and particularly: how THE VERTICAL SECTION on each side of the wing, is what created the real magic when going through the turns. The vertical sides actually gave more of an advantage than the top, horizontal part of the wing did. And WHY did I bring up the vertical sides of the Mopar wing? BECAUSE NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT FACT. BUT EVERYONE KNOWS "THE FORD AERO CARS & THE WINGED MOPARS WERE OUTLAWED IN NASCAR". I bet you weren't even alive back when all of this was happening.......because it's always young kids who are trying to tell someone something that everyone should already damn well know.
@@howabouthetruth2157 You would lose that bet. I brought up the Ford aero cars because I've seen so many posts by Mopar fanboys whining that the sanctioning bodies are a conspiracy against Chrysler.
I had a 1970 Mustang Boss 429 from 1976 to 1978. It was light blue with black. listed at 35 hp by the factory, I had my 429 bored,stroked, balanced, blue printed, align bored, parallel decked, compression bumped up to 12.5 / 1 by Earl Wade of Azusa California, he was Dyno Don Nicolson's enginn builder
no it does not. the only Boss car belonged to Bud Moore. he owned the blue and this boss red one. The blue one and the yellow one ( the one sent to Holman) had FE motors
Kyle, I have a suggestion. I just saw your 2013 M5 video, and I felt that you should also list what features each variant gets. For example, you should say what all the standard 5-Series gets (I know that there are optional extras and the 530D gets more than the 520D) compared to an M5. Since you 'review' the cars, I feel this is a very vital point. A person who considering a car should know about all the standard kit that each trim offers. I know that they can just Google it, but I feel doing this would really enhance the quality of your videos. Also, I don't think it'd require a lot of research and time. Keep the videos coming! Love 'em!
Thanks Krunal! That is one of my older videos, but even today, if I'm talking about a high performance variant, like an M5, I keep it limited to that variant. Otherwise, the videos get pretty long winded. I do talk trim levels in some of my newer videos, like the toyota highlander because I think it is vital information. I'm assuming people aren't coming to an M5 video to learn about lesser trims, whereas the highlander, I assume people would. I hope that makes sense :)
What an extremely rare car. I believe only 3 were made and 1 more that was the Mercury version. The one featured in this video doesn't have the factory in-dash ribbon-style tachometer like the yellow one does that I've seen in 2 other videos. I wonder why? Still a beautiful & priceless piece of auto racing history. During testing at Daytona, Bill France declared these cars illegal, so they never entered a single NASCAR race. They were made to compete against the winged Mopar cars.
This car sounds like it has been tamed down from it's original 700Hp beginnings. That is nowhere near a 13:1 compression engine idle. You can feel a 13:1 engine beating the ground.
You're definitely right. A 13:1 compression engine would barely idle and literally shake the ground when revved up. This one has definitely been toned down a bit. Compression is in the low 11's I bet
Kind of weird looking front end almost looks like a Plymouth Daytona edition sounds awesome though I'd like to borrow that to go blow away some Chevelle SS
XD 700 horsepower and race gas huh? Looks and sounds more like a somewhat stock Boss 429 with a solid lifter cam to me haha Either way, a cool piece of history
When did the Boss 429 make 700 Horsepower ??!! Is he dreaming or does he know something that I do not. Anyone? Anyone...Bueller? Bueller? .....Bueller ?
The Boss's put in street cars were heavily damped. Small exhaust, TINY carb and a lousy intake manifold. Let it breathe and give it fuel it DID run like a raped ape. I don't know the HP figures on the racing versions, but they were definitely bad ass. Chrysler AGAIN managed to get a Ford product outlawed from competing. Reason? They'da got their asses stomped. But that was the way they played the game back in the day. Ford had some WEIRD stuff. The SOHC 427? Look at photos of that monster. No wonder they couldn't put it in a car, it was 5 feet wide. An EIGHT FOOT timing chain. But in boat racing it was unbeatable. And from what I read you had to be a magician to get it tuned right. But once done it HAD no competition. And I have no idea of the reliability of the cammer. The mid to late 60s were the heyday of hot rodding by the factories. Those were the days. Mileage and clean air put an end to the GREATEST era.
Tom Swinburn; From what I understand, Bill France, Pres of NASCAR, changed the rules (again) in 1969 demanding 2,000 of these cars to be sold to the public. Up from 500 the previous years. Plymouth went all in with the 1970 "Super Bird" to get Richard Petty back. Rumor is this is what hurt Chrysler in a couple of years do to BIG$$$$$ invested into converting these cars. Ford wound up using the 1970 2 door, standard Torino as it was more aero than the "Sport Roof". Thing is, Bill France has always been a Chevy fan.
@@cobracharmer6178 A double reply here... In 70 Ford ran the regular Cobra's on the short tracks and the 69 Talladega's/Spoiler II's on the super speedways. Several independent teams ran the notch back's to a fairly good showing on all tracks. The Cammer WAS a monster, and a p.i.t.a. to get set up right! I ran one for years in the late 80's/early 90's in a 68 GT fastback Torino with an 8-71 on alcohol and it not only out ran most anything it was HYPER dependable and tough, only thing to really watch was to change that damn 6' timing chain on a regular basis or it would stretch bad and the right bank wound up 6 degrees off and the left 12 degrees. Given the time I would build a modern parts version and another pro-strip 68 and run my past allover again today. The 427 SOHC, banned by NASCAR and feared by Chevy and Mopar drag racers everywhere in the hands of people like me on up to Connie Killota, Don Prudhomme, “Ohio George” Montgomery, and especially Sneaky Pete Robinson.
@@BloodRaven1969; Thanks so much for sharing a great experience. In Nov.1975 at the age of 17yrs, I bought my 1st car. A 1970 Torino Cobra. It had the Drag Pack option. 429scj, column shift auto. Wimbleton white with matte black shaker hood. Blue interior with bench seat. All for $800. In 1985, my wife took off with our 2 sons. I sold the Cobra to my best friend for $4k a couple of months later to prove to my wife I loved her and the boys more than a snake. Didn't work. She's still gone. My best friend moved to Ok. to tend to family matters. He sold it to a young man who later sold it to a Shelby collector. Shelby collector, Earl Groves, got in touch with me in 89 for information.1991, Earl had to part with the Cobra because his wife was leaving him! He restored it and said he'd let me have it for $6k. I cried because I couldn't come up with the $. I was deeply involved resurrecting a 69 fastback Cobra. 428cj 4spd. I still own today. Earl said he sold the Cobra to a Vietnam vet who lived in the north eastern part of Oklahoma. John
Hell yeah they should have. The sound of that cj engine and that true v8 rumble I would've paid top dollar for this beauty even though I'm not a ford fan
BuzzLOLOL It never would have sold...I was there in 1970 at a pair of Plymouth dealerships with my Dad looking for a new car.....rows & rows of AAR cudas', 440 six-packs, & everything in between. Even the dealer in Milwaukie (Oregon) had a bright yellow Superbird parked outside in front the showroom, unsold....The weather was cold, so I'd guess it was late in the year because I recall seeing a new-for-1971 Roadrunner. What did my dad buy?..A 1970 Valient 4dr, automatic, with the 225 slant-six,Maroon/Copper color.
Neat mix of European curves with "Superbird" treatment. Love the bright orange colour... also love the "feature" of showing you the clock option you DIDN'T buy on the instrument cluster! LOL (Gauge cluster is there but with NO clock arms or mechanism)

I ran a 8-71 on a Cammer in a ^* Torino GT fastback on both track and street in the late 80's/early 90's, never lost to a blown LS6 once with an 'ancient' FE.
HOLY CRAP MAN, never sawed this car model before, this is awesome model
Ford's answer to the charger Daytona and superbird without the goal post antenna. Nose like Opel GT or 240Z
Rear like a Mach 1.
canoe, I've never seen that Torino model ANYWHERE before now, but I live in CanaDUH!
I went to this RK Motors this past weekend to look at the cars with my mentor and I almost passed out! The cars were so clean! Fantastic experience!
Yes , And CRAZY EXPENSIVE!
The reason it sounds like that is the cam!!! music to my ears!!
😍OMG WHAT A BEAUTIFUL AUTOMOTIVE PIECE OF ART !
It looks so much better than the Daytona or the Super bird.
I can't believe this car has less views than bmw m3...
yeah its sad cars lost their style after 70 even the mustangs and camaros were never the same until the 2000s and still aren't as pretty to me ... Equus would have the right idea if they weren't 500,000$
It looks like the incredimobile from the Incredibles
@Erik Gilreath Hi President Trump!
I find it really cool how you get the privilege to review these cars. Keep up the good work.
Sign you're a real red-blooded motorhead: Your heart rate revs up along with that sound.
now that's a real awesome muscle car right there knowing the fact I love torino's this is epic
I can't believe you got to film one! They only made 2! :D
VolkswagenGamer 3
I think the 3rd one was the Mercury twin, the Cyclone Spoiler II.
I love these classic car reviews! that sound!
6:32 OMG!!! So THIS is how Datsun came up with the 240Z.
I had a 70 with a 429, it didn't look like that,nor did it have 700hp but it went through tires like butter and owned the GM rust buckets the other kids brought to school in the 80s. It had the same wheels and was a dark green color. RIP, Summer of 85, crashed into bridge rail to avoid hitting another car.
550K for this beauty!
Or you could get a rolls royce phantom for that price.
They're kind of overrated in my opinion. My dad has a 13' drophead.
Jordan K.
Austinrocks1100 Rather have this..
same. It's a one of a kind.
Thanks for sharing this story. I thought I pretty much knew of all the various models out there but this one surprised me. Love it in this color.
No tachometer, it sounds like a motorcycle and a lawnmower arguing, the interior looks ancient, it'll get 5 gallons to the mile, and it's massive.
GOD I WANT ONE.
I've never seen one of these. Beautiful.
00:50 Mercedes CLK GTR Roadster on the left !!!!!! Dr Kyle PLEASE DO A REVIEW ON THAT !!!!!! PLEASE !!!
Already tried, no luck yet. Too hard to get it outside.
***** can u do a review on the porsche 911 turbo s
***** hows ur dad
Review it inside with only one start, not a couple like u always do, U gotta add that to the list :D
Holy crap....... they do exist outside of the EU........
My older brother by 3 1/2 years helped me build my first car when I was 15 in 1980. Its was a 1968 Torino Gt coupe 302 4 speed. It was maroon with black side stripes (my grandfather painted it for me) a black vinyl top and black interior. Man I loved that car. I drove it until a year after I got married and my daughter was born. I was 21 and we needed the money for the baby so it was worth it, she is now a 2nd grade teacher. But 😫 I still miss that car. I get to drive a 2015 ScatPack Challenger now so that eases the pain a little lol.
Did I hear that right, 700 HORSEPOWER
I don't understand how you can get 700hp with that factory single inlet air breather
@Larry Kin well this was the prototype for Nascar so...
That's not the sound of a 700 HP Boss 429 idling. Maybe 475 HP.
It is 700 HP
no, the best nascar prepped boss 429 was good for about 650. Stock in the 430 range.
Lived in Albuquerque for 5 years.had an emission testing station and a small used car lot on old route 66.We bought a 70 429 torino 4speed car from a guy leaving town. Went through the car, brakes suspension, tune up had an original 110,000 on the clock or close . This was in 1988.The previous owner ordered it with 3.12 gears for those wide open spaces.You could get 55 in first. Took this thing out 40 going south and let it loose. Long,long Legs passed like 130 and it was all over the place. Started to come up on some guys ass well over a hundred. Hit the brakes to slow down and there was none. They were there but wouldn't hook up till 80 discs in front also. Blew rite by the guy I was trying to slow up for scared the shit out of me.. Took it back to the shop and never drove it again. Some guy bought it from out of state and was glad to see it go. Moral of this story!!! Memories of old muscle cars are better than owing one. I'll take a new Challenger or Mustang or Chevy any day.
Thank god you prefer newer muscle cars that way when you are doing a buck fifty on a highway and you crash you destroy a newer POS not a car that has survived 50 years to die by a moron endangering people on the highway.
Billy Batson Billy bob, It's God with a capital G ace!! The rest of your rant I could care less about!
This is a loud ass car and I love it
Abe Dekok A+ dude
Crazy these cars were produced to get into real nascar back in the day. Badass .
Mopar had to do the Daytona and Superbird because the Charger 500 wouldn't beat the Taledega and Cyclone Spoiler II. In 70' Ford was just about ready to bail out of factory racing support due to the Feds and other issues.
Yep, the standard charger and the 500 had a nasty tendency to spin out at high speed due to that air dam of a front grille. Just tacking on that nose gave the car a .28 drag coefficient. Quite slippery even by modern standards.
Awesome ride. I'm a Mopar guy first but my Dad is a Ford guy so I've always had a soft spot for the Blue Oval. My favorite Ford's will always be the 65-67 Galaxie R-Code 427 and 66-67 Fairlane R-Code 427 but I've always really liked the 69 Fairlane Cobra/Cyclone CJ, 70-71 Torino Cobra, and 70 Cyclone Spoiler. In fact a 70 Cyclone Spoiler 429 SCJ Drag Pack is my favorite car ever built by Mercury
700 hp! :O
There was more to the design of the winged Mopar cars than simply being "more aerodynamic". The tall wing on the back played an equally important role in the high banked turns on the super speedways. The deep ( front to back ), blade-shaped vertical side of each wing came into play whenever the rear of the car would get loose in the turns, where the vertical side would catch air & literally push the rear of the car back in line with the front, resulting in superior tracking while going through and exiting the turns. Due to this, I believe the wing actually gave the car more of an advantage than the rest of the body did for aerodynamics. It was so effective that NASCAR made the winged cars illegal, declaring they had "an unfair advantage".
It wasn’t just Chrysler. NASCAR also banned the Ford “aero” cars.
@@bwtv147 SIGH...........Good grief man.........ANYONE who knows anything about these cars during this era (and I was there, by the way ) already knows that. Besides, I was not discussing the Ford's.........I was clearly zeroing in on the wing of the Mopar's, and particularly: how THE VERTICAL SECTION on each side of the wing, is what created the real magic when going through the turns. The vertical sides actually gave more of an advantage than the top, horizontal part of the wing did. And WHY did I bring up the vertical sides of the Mopar wing? BECAUSE NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT FACT. BUT EVERYONE KNOWS "THE FORD AERO CARS & THE WINGED MOPARS WERE OUTLAWED IN NASCAR". I bet you weren't even alive back when all of this was happening.......because it's always young kids who are trying to tell someone something that everyone should already damn well know.
@@howabouthetruth2157 You would lose that bet. I brought up the Ford aero cars because I've seen so many posts by Mopar fanboys whining that the sanctioning bodies are a conspiracy against Chrysler.
@@howabouthetruth2157 9
@@bwtv147 "9"........must be your age.
Holy of holies, I keep coming back to see the temple upon which the gods of speed would have given their blessing. What a beast.
Praise be, lol. (Chumbucket reference?)
I had a 1970 Mustang Boss 429 from 1976 to 1978. It was light blue with black. listed at 35 hp by the factory, I had my 429 bored,stroked, balanced, blue printed, align bored, parallel decked, compression bumped up to 12.5 / 1 by Earl Wade of Azusa California, he was Dyno Don Nicolson's enginn builder
I think I saw the King Cobra squinting, seeing it's first sunlight in a long time.
Excellent background info. Very interesting. Top notch as always Kyle!
One of these King Cobras has a Holman - Moody prepped 494ci engine
@G hrvyck I've never seen a picture of the blue one
@@matthewgrills4135 the one I know about was bored/stroked to 494 ci
@G hrvyck what engine (s) are in the other 2 King Cobras? I was under the impression that all 3 of them had Boss 429's
no it does not. the only Boss car belonged to Bud Moore. he owned the blue and this boss red one. The blue one and the yellow one ( the one sent to Holman) had FE motors
Kyle, I have a suggestion. I just saw your 2013 M5 video, and I felt that you should also list what features each variant gets. For example, you should say what all the standard 5-Series gets (I know that there are optional extras and the 530D gets more than the 520D) compared to an M5. Since you 'review' the cars, I feel this is a very vital point. A person who considering a car should know about all the standard kit that each trim offers. I know that they can just Google it, but I feel doing this would really enhance the quality of your videos. Also, I don't think it'd require a lot of research and time. Keep the videos coming! Love 'em!
Thanks Krunal! That is one of my older videos, but even today, if I'm talking about a high performance variant, like an M5, I keep it limited to that variant. Otherwise, the videos get pretty long winded. I do talk trim levels in some of my newer videos, like the toyota highlander because I think it is vital information. I'm assuming people aren't coming to an M5 video to learn about lesser trims, whereas the highlander, I assume people would. I hope that makes sense :)
That makes sense, Kyle. Thanks :D
God what a fantastic sound!
What an extremely rare car. I believe only 3 were made and 1 more that was the Mercury version. The one featured in this video doesn't have the factory in-dash ribbon-style tachometer like the yellow one does that I've seen in 2 other videos. I wonder why? Still a beautiful & priceless piece of auto racing history. During testing at Daytona, Bill France declared these cars illegal, so they never entered a single NASCAR race. They were made to compete against the winged Mopar cars.
I thought they were 4 made white
This car sounds like it has been tamed down from it's original 700Hp beginnings. That is nowhere near a 13:1 compression engine idle. You can feel a 13:1 engine beating the ground.
You're definitely right. A 13:1 compression engine would barely idle and literally shake the ground when revved up. This one has definitely been toned down a bit. Compression is in the low 11's I bet
This car just Have a soul.
The soul that cars at these days are missing.
No way were they getting 700 hp in 1970 with a naturally aspirated motor
REALLY? I guess you never heard of Holman-Moody? Today, NASCAR engines can put out 850 HP from 358 CID engines.
Wow, that's amazing you got your hands on one of these. They're VERY rare.
Kind of weird looking front end almost looks like a Plymouth Daytona edition sounds awesome though I'd like to borrow that to go blow away some Chevelle SS
love the chop of the big cam
XD
700 horsepower and race gas huh? Looks and sounds more like a somewhat stock Boss 429 with a solid lifter cam to me haha
Either way, a cool piece of history
Me too. That definitely isn't running 13:1 compression. It would barely idle if it did and shake the ground when revved a bit
Thanks for this post! Like a lot of others I wasn’t aware of this extremely rare beast until seeing your video here👍🏼
"unique" means only one - needs no modifier.
Oh my god, please do more classics!
When did the Boss 429 make 700 Horsepower ??!! Is he dreaming or does he know something that I do not. Anyone? Anyone...Bueller? Bueller? .....Bueller ?
This is a prototype. Also, obviously the 429 cubic inch V-8 from the '69-'70 Ford Mustang Boss 429 is HEAVILY modified.
The Boss's put in street cars were heavily damped. Small exhaust, TINY carb and a lousy intake manifold. Let it breathe and give it fuel it DID run like a raped ape. I don't know the HP figures on the racing versions, but they were definitely bad ass. Chrysler AGAIN managed to get a Ford product outlawed from competing. Reason? They'da got their asses stomped. But that was the way they played the game back in the day. Ford had some WEIRD stuff. The SOHC 427? Look at photos of that monster. No wonder they couldn't put it in a car, it was 5 feet wide. An EIGHT FOOT timing chain. But in boat racing it was unbeatable. And from what I read you had to be a magician to get it tuned right. But once done it HAD no competition. And I have no idea of the reliability of the cammer. The mid to late 60s were the heyday of hot rodding by the factories. Those were the days. Mileage and clean air put an end to the GREATEST era.
Tom Swinburn; From what I understand, Bill France, Pres of NASCAR, changed the rules (again) in 1969 demanding 2,000 of these cars to be sold to the public. Up from 500 the previous years. Plymouth went all in with the 1970 "Super Bird" to get Richard Petty back. Rumor is this is what hurt Chrysler in a couple of years do to BIG$$$$$ invested into converting these cars. Ford wound up using the 1970 2 door, standard Torino as it was more aero than the "Sport Roof". Thing is, Bill France has always been a Chevy fan.
@@cobracharmer6178 A double reply here... In 70 Ford ran the regular Cobra's on the short tracks and the 69 Talladega's/Spoiler II's on the super speedways. Several independent teams ran the notch back's to a fairly good showing on all tracks.
The Cammer WAS a monster, and a p.i.t.a. to get set up right! I ran one for years in the late 80's/early 90's in a 68 GT fastback Torino with an 8-71 on alcohol and it not only out ran most anything it was HYPER dependable and tough, only thing to really watch was to change that damn 6' timing chain on a regular basis or it would stretch bad and the right bank wound up 6 degrees off and the left 12 degrees. Given the time I would build a modern parts version and another pro-strip 68 and run my past allover again today.
The 427 SOHC, banned by NASCAR and feared by Chevy and Mopar drag racers everywhere in the hands of people like me on up to Connie Killota, Don Prudhomme, “Ohio George” Montgomery, and especially Sneaky Pete Robinson.
@@BloodRaven1969; Thanks so much for sharing a great experience. In Nov.1975 at the age of 17yrs, I bought my 1st car. A 1970 Torino Cobra. It had the Drag Pack option. 429scj, column shift auto. Wimbleton white with matte black shaker hood. Blue interior with bench seat. All for $800. In 1985, my wife took off with our 2 sons. I sold the Cobra to my best friend for $4k a couple of months later to prove to my wife I loved her and the boys more than a snake. Didn't work. She's still gone. My best friend moved to Ok. to tend to family matters. He sold it to a young man who later sold it to a Shelby collector. Shelby collector, Earl Groves, got in touch with me in 89 for information.1991, Earl had to part with the Cobra because his wife was leaving him! He restored it and said he'd let me have it for $6k. I cried because I couldn't come up with the $. I was deeply involved resurrecting a 69 fastback Cobra. 428cj 4spd. I still own today. Earl said he sold the Cobra to a Vietnam vet who lived in the north eastern part of Oklahoma. John
That beat of that cam shaft is totally awesome!!!👍🏽
No tachometer!
That's what I was thinking
I saw this thing in person! When I was in Charlotte, I visited RKMC, in Nov/2013.
. Ford should have put it into production... fans would have paid the necessary price...
Hell yeah they should have. The sound of that cj engine and that true v8 rumble I would've paid top dollar for this beauty even though I'm not a ford fan
BuzzLOLOL It never would have sold...I was there in 1970 at a pair of Plymouth dealerships with my Dad looking for a new car.....rows & rows of AAR cudas', 440 six-packs, & everything in between. Even the dealer in Milwaukie (Oregon) had a bright yellow Superbird parked outside in front the showroom, unsold....The weather was cold, so I'd guess it was late in the year because I recall seeing a new-for-1971 Roadrunner. What did my dad buy?..A 1970 Valient 4dr, automatic, with the 225 slant-six,Maroon/Copper color.
Neat mix of European curves with "Superbird" treatment. Love the bright orange colour... also love the "feature" of showing you the clock option you DIDN'T buy on the instrument cluster! LOL (Gauge cluster is there but with NO clock arms or mechanism)
