The Ford Torino - the 'Motor Trend' Car of the Year for 1970 - was named in honor of the city of Turin, Italy, which is regarded as 'The Italian Detroit.' The design of this second-generation Torino was inspired by the supersonic aircraft of the day, with narrow waists and bulging forward and rear fuselages needed to reach supersonic speeds.
This J-Code Torino Cobra is equipped with a 429 4V Cobra Jet Ram Air V8; Traction-Lok differential; power brakes and steering; rear window sport louvers; as well as standard options that included a four-speed close-ratio transmission; a Hurst shifter; a competition suspension; and Calypso Coral paint. Proudly built at the now-closed Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant in Lorain, Ohio, the car was originally sold at Dingwall Ford Sales in Windsor, Ontario on November 28, 1969. The current owner acquired the vehicle while out on a Sunday drive in London, Ontario almost 30 years ago. A full frame-off restoration of the car was completed in 2017 with the owner providing all of the 'elbow grease.'
