1 of 29 SCJ cars with POWER WINDOWS!
1970 Ford Torino Cobra, Ram Air, Axle Code V (3.91 Limited Slip), Trans Code 6 (Close ratio 4 speed)
Sport Mirrors, Ribbon Tach, Power Windows, Bucket Seats, Console.
"DANGER" written on the hood: Priceless!
This is a 70 Torino Cobra SCJ Drag Pack 4-speed car, yellow exterior, black interior, bucket seats, console, power disc brakes, power steering, AM/FM stereo (missing), tinted glass (most missing), ribbon tach, and the rarest thing of all, POWER WINDOWS. I had Marti run a special statistic report on SCJ cars with power windows, and in 1970, only 29 Drag Pack cars were equipped with power windows. This may be the only one left! Have you ever seen one?
It's pretty rough...some of the guys with lots of experience with these cars have seen worse, but it'll be a long term, expensive project. The original shortblock with standard bore is with it, as is ONE cylinder head, and the driveshaft. I do NOT have a bellhousing, flywheel, transmission, or shifter. There is NO intake manifold, fuel pump, water pump, or distributor. I have a cracked passenger side exhaust manifold. The rev limiter is on the fender apron. The engine bay wiring harness is missing. The grille is missing, as are the taillights.
The body is pretty rough on the driver's side, and there are several holes in the floorboards near the driver's feet, and in the trunk. The left front fender is missing. It has some wrinkles in the driver's side front apron. The driver's side quarter panel has significant filler, as does the trunk lid. The driver's door is cracked at the latch.
The rearend still has a locking differential...you can feel it unlocking while pushing it around the yard on turns. I can only assume the 3.91 gears are still in it, as the N case appears undisturbed. The "double-drill" axle flanges indicating the 31-spline axles are still intact.
SOLD!
Marti Report
Update Feb 2010
Well, it's finally on some rolling stock, instead of 3
flats! These are Mercury Mountaineer / Ford Explorer
wheels, 15 x 7, with 235-75-15 used rubber. It will be
enough to roll the car around.
As you can see, the Mountaineer / Explorer wheels are very
thick at the hub, and the old wheel studs don't protrude enough
to be safe. I'm using these wheels for rolling purposes
only, but if you want to use some of these wheels to drive with,
you'll need to change the studs to longer ones.
