1970 Ford Torino Cobra by Scott

When I sold it, this is what it looked like. Muscle Car: Ford Other Torino Cobra
Year: 1970
Engine: 429
Condition: Project Car
Bringing it home from NC.

Originally purchased by my father for me in the fall of 1985. I ran the car hard on both the street and the drag strip. I sold the car in 1994 never expecting to see it again. Two years ago, growing nostalgic, I managed to track the car down and buy it back.

When I found the car, it had been completely stripped, virtually gutted. The body had been restored to show quality and the numbers matching engine and transmission had been rebuilt. The owner had grown tired of trying to put it back together and was motivated to sell. I found it at the right time and snapped it back for a fraction of it's sentimental and financial worth.

Today, the car is an ongoing project that my 8 year old son and I work on to try and return to it's former glory.
