Re: 1970 FORD 429 SCJ DRAG PACK cool
 

So how is the sale of this car working - the Greensboro Auction didn't work out (meet reserve), so they are relying on eBay now?

Thanks.
Also came across this that helps explain the tire size as original.
<span style="font-style: italic">New 1970 options included 15-inch Magnum 500 wheels with F60-15 tires and flat black &quot;Sport Slats&quot; for the rear window on the Torino GT.&quot;</span>

The seller just told me the car did not meet reserve in the N.C. auction yesterday,so now they are trying through ebay.
I guess where ever it met its reserve first,they would've cancelled the other auction.

GT CJs are much more rare than Cobra CJs. Plus, with the Detroit Locker feature, this one seems to be as desirable as it gets.

And SCJ's are the rarest of both.

I DONT think the eBay bids are legit; thats not real money

I can assure you that one of them is from me,and is.
I recognize a few other honest bids too.

SCJ Cobras are not very rare. CJ GTs are rarer than SCJ Cobras.

THE OTHER black, unrestored Cobra Jet beauty that was at the SAME auction - this is where I would have put my bid:

But this car is a GT not a Cobra and a 429SCJ engine is a whole different animal.

SCJs may be the &quot;rarest of both&quot; but my point to him was that SCJs were not terribly rare for the Torino Cobra. Take a look at the two Marti Reports here.

This black car also had the Detroit Locker, which was only available for 4.30-equipped cars, although it's possibly a few anomalies exist. I believe the number for Cobras is 207, while for the GT fastback it's 12. All things being equal, a GT is going to be much rarer than an equivalent Cobra, even though most collectors prefer the Cobra.
