Original Owner 1971 Ford Torino Cobra 351 4 Speed in White & Ride on My Car Story with Lou Costabile

If you enjoy the videos and would like to Sponsor me on Patreon, my Creator link is www.patreon.com/MyCarStoryWit...
On "My Car Story" we're in the West Suburbs of IL on 8-14-21.
We're looking at a 1971 Ford Torino Cobra in Wimbledon White Paint. The car comes with the factory 351 CI V8 engine, and a 4 Speed manual transmission.
The car's Owner is Larry Schramm. Larry’s ordered this car new. Larry shares he wanted a sports car and he couldn’t fit in a Mustang, so he ordered this one and it was just the right one for him.
ENJOY!

[@randyluca6339]

Kudos to Larry for keeping his Cobra original and beautiful all these years. I admire people who take care of their cars. Sweet ride!! Thanks Lou.

Hi Randy, Right Care Taker with the right Car :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@lonnyjaw]

Yeah Brother, My older brother had a '71 Torino with the 302 2-barrel. He was in the service and drove it back and forth from home to Fort Campbell, Kentucky back in the 70's. Always loved the styling of the 70-71's. Keep 'er goin'!

Hi lonnyjaw, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Older Brothers car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

[@Dbusdriver71]

The 351 Cleveland Engine is still the best engine 'Uncle Henry' ever made. Seriously beautiful!

[@kevin7151]

Another automotive rarity brought forward by Lou. Great backstory from Larry where he is the original owner. He keeps it in excellent shape but makes sure he gets some use out of it. I got a kick out of his remark that he feels less that 71 when he hits the road in it. Thanks Lou, yet again, for bringing another unique car to your viewers. Have a great weekend.

Wow, Lou the 71 Torino Cobra is another awesome survivor of possibly the best era of automobiles! Thnx to Larry for preserving it! Keep up the good work finding these 'gems' Lou

I just realized '71/71! Congratulations to Larry ☺ Cool. 'Need to keep that in mind in a few years, God willing. 🙏👍

[@nomadx2142]

Awesome, that was my first car also. Brings back memories. Would of lover to have it again. My fist job was in the city . Parked the car to catch the train and when I came back someone ran into the side and front. Car was never the same after that. Thank you for the video.

This video brought tears to my eyes. I had a 71 Cobra like this except it was red (originally gold) and had a C6 automatic. I put a Fairbanks high stall converter and built the transmission to shift more crisp. The engine was stock. It was my daily driver. What an idiot I was for ever selling it.

Great car to say the least! I almost bought a 1970 Torino Cobra 429 4-speed in 1974. The price was $1200, but it got stolen before I got the deal done. This one is nicer, and a 351 is more practical with more than enough power. So nicely preserved and rarely seen today! Thanks Lou for another fantastic car story!

[@audieconrad8995]

Lou, imho one of the best looking of all the muscle cars. And the 351 Cleveland...it made ANY car better. Arguably the best all'round V8 of the era. Magnum 500"s look great on anything they were on. They were offered by all of the Big 4 car companies. Really great survivor Lou. Kudos to the gentleman for his stewardship!

Thanks for posting this. We were working on a house in the McKees Rocks section of Pittsburgh, and saw one of these in the garage. It had been sitting for years but it was in good shape. No rust. It was black on black. The guy that owned it asked "Do you know what this is?" It was a SCJ 429. There are a lot of car nuts in the Pittsburgh, western Pennsylvania area.

Priceless to the owner and his son's (which I'm 1 of). I'm hoping to be the next owner and keep it in the family!

[@TripReviews]

Beautiful condition! Can you imagine hanging onto this baby all these years!? Your comment about it not being jacked up is so true. Why did those guys do that to a car of this design? It didn’t make sense mainly because the body style didn’t suit it. A boxy look such as a Dart yes but not a Torino. The rim horn still works!

He seems to be a rather quiet fella, but he sure knows how to make noise on an otherwise peaceful country road! Why, this one can make noise even without the engine on (10:37)! He said he wanted something with a little performance...he's being way too modest! LOL! His pestering sons did him quite an honor helping to keep this car alive after all these last 50 years. Indeed, original owners make for some of the best car stories! And there it is in black and white...literally! Thanks for yet another great episode and thrill ride!
