One of my favorite Fords of all time and that's a very short list. Love how they have the appearance of a chopped top. Heavy car, but who cares? They are an extremely aggressive-looking musclecar.

Re: 1971 Ford Torino Cobra 429CJ Ram Air 370HP
 

I agree. The chopped effect really hits you when you're standing next to it. The neat thing about the '71s is that the 429 production was about 1/7th of the '70s, yet they still had 11.3:1 compression, & Ford went to the 4 bolt mains for the CJ in '71, whereas the '70 CJs had 2 bolt mains.

Forgot to add that this also has power steering, power disc brakes, & under hood/ under deck lid lamps.

Big bang for the buck!

Re: 1971 Ford Torino Cobra 429CJ Ram Air 370HP
 

I sold one of these as a "project" on ebay within the last year or so. Super cool cars!

[b] I purchased this Cobra 429 back in '71. I was in the army stationed in Ga. What a great car!
You should have seen this thing fly on the 3 mile straight out of Ft Benning into Alabama.
This was the only Ford I have ever regretted selling.

Really a well designed & engineered muscle car. Very rare, especially loaded up & in the right colors as this one is. Many parts unique to this model & year are near impossible to find, so a mint, correctly restored, original car like this one isn't going to cross your path too frequently. Appreciate the emails & interest so far. Open to offers, so don't be shy! Thanks
