1970 Ford Torino GT Additional Info:
Here is a 1970 Torino GT that is well optioned, very solid and is stock down to the hubcaps and air cleaner. Factory Black on Black with laser stripe. M code 351C 4V, automatic with power steering, power disc brakes and air conditioning. It has been off the road for years and is currently not running.This is arguably the best color combo for a Torino, black with laser stripes. It is also fairly rare to find an original black Torino GT. Originally from Los Angeles which explains the rare air conditioning option which is very nice to have today, especially with a black car. This is the kind of car you want to start with, great colors, good options, original and low rust. Marti report is available and I can email it to you upon request.The paint is old and showing its age as are the laser strips It appears to have been repainted at some point many years ago. The body is overall very straight with a couple minor dings and dents here and there. The worst is on the passenger door near the mirror where something fell on it while it was in long term storage. Very solid body with almost no rust.Floors are original and in very good shape with no rust or apparent repairs. Torque boxes, rear lower quarters, doors, trunk and trunk drop offs are very nice. The door is not cracked around the latch like most Torino’s. Trunk floor, trunk lip and trunk lid itself are all very nice with no rust out.There is a little rust in front of each rear wheel well. It also looks like when the car was painted there was a small repair made to the bottom corners of the rear window.
The interior appears to be all original down to the AM radio and looks pretty good, however, it could use some cleaning. The upholstery looks good and the seat does not sag. The dash has the typical crack to the right of the gauges. Carpet is faded a bit but in good shape. Headliner is nice except for one small hole above the driver. Rear package tray shelf is nice with no speaker holes or water damage. Door panels are in good shape. Overall the interior would work for a driver with some cleaning or could be restored to take it to the next level.
The engine is the original matching # engine with vin stamped in the back of the block. It is stock down to the original carb and still has factory exhaust manifolds, etc. All A/C components are present, even the belt. Motor does not currently run and hasn’t run in many years. The motor does turn over a little by hand but then it stops. I have not gotten around to looking into it but it could be bent pushrods since that is common on Clevelands or a valvetrain issue of some sort. I had planned on putting a different 351C in it temporarily and making it a driver while I rebuilt the original engine but I just haven’t had the time.
Overall this could be made into a driver with some engine, brake and other misc work but at some point it deserves a light restoration. This is the kind of car worth doing, great color combo, nice options, very little rust and matching #’s. These Torino’s have come on strong over the last few years and this car has room for some sweat equity.
I bought this with a couple other Torino’s and I had intended to make it a driver as is and restore it later because it’s such a great car but it’s been about a year and I don’t know when I’ll have time to get to it. I don’t have inside storage for it at the time so I decided it’s time to let someone else get the opportunity to enjoy it.
Car is sold as is where is with no warranty expressed or implied. It is available for inspection by appointment only. I have done my best to describe it accurately but please understand that this is a 46 year old vehicle that needs restoration. I have sold quite a few cars on ebay and try very hard to describe them accurately and to make sure potential buyers have any information I would want as a buyer. International buyers are welcome. In fairness to all bidders I will not disclose the reserve but it is quite a bit less than the buy it now. I reserve the right to end the auction early, however, my intention is to let the auction run its course unless someone hits the buy-it-now. Full payment must be made within 5 days of auction end and vehicle must be picked up within 21 days of auction end unless prior arrangements are made. Bidders with a feedback rating of less than 10 must contact me prior to bidding or I will cancel your bid.
