Test Drive 1970 Ford Torino GT Fastback SOLD $21,900 Maple Motors

[@strokermaverick]

I'm 50. When I was 15, I bought a '71 torino Gt 429 bucket seat, hide away head light, console car, for $150. It was in quite nice condition. I worked, in the tobacco fields, during the summer.

[@samuelsanchez9793]

Damn they must have paid good in the tobacco field company. Am 65

[@Xidias]

Now imagine having it in todays market and being able to sell it for how ever much $

[@strokermaverick]

I had a bro in law that had one of these! It was a manual shift on the column! Thing was badass off the lot!!! (R.I.P. Bro!) I sure miss him! Cancer sucks!!!!

My dad had a 69 with a 351 Cleveland Hurst 4 speed 12 bolt posi, hood scoop with lights on the back of it and a holley carb. ,blue with white pen stripes and white interior 👌 Very quick Very fast car. Ford you need to bring this car back I'm meaning the torino ,truly a muscle car to be remembered and brought back to life

[@brucegwynn8509]

God I remember these cars , they were beautiful to me, a big fan of those and I'm a Chevy man!!

[@unclebob7937]

Me also. Ya gotta appreciate any American classic.

It could use a set of buckets and a center console and cut about 5 inches off those exhaust and she's ready to go baby.

[@coolchange1970]

Sorry… JK, I’m a Ford man and I remember all the ripping back and forth between all the different brands. My two best friends in high school were a Mopar guy and a Chevy guy. I actually feel bad for kids nowadays with all the import cars and emission controls. My 16 year old son is a chip off the old block though. His daily is a ‘62 Falcon. He’s the only kid at his school with old muscle though. The next coolest car at his school is an early 90’s Grand Marquis. Work with what you can find I guess

[@mariodelrio2310]

That is such an unique body style, underrated Muscle car, but an eye magnet when spotted on the road!!!! I'm a Chevrolet lover, but when I saw the Torino and Nick describing the few things it needed, I couldn't hold back, Thank you Nick, Nick's Uncle Jeff, and Jim, , Nick's Brother, What a Power team for the Business!!!! I absolutely love the Torino!!! Awesome car!!!! Awesome family!!! They are now My Family too!!!

[@maddpeanut6313]

My older brother had one like it, yellow with black interior 351C 4 speed, in '72 and I fell in love with it. Of course he totaled it. Glad to see a survivor.

[@bendeleted9155]

My Aunt and Uncle had that same car brand new in 1970. They were my coolest Aunt & Uncle, btw.

[@blackjeep6432]

I'm a Chevy guy but I always liked the look of the early Torino's. I always wondered why they weren't more popular.

That is a beautiful Torino GT..That was my favorite muscle car..70 had hide away headlights..Looks like an aftermarket grill..My dad had a 70 Ranchero GT W/ 351 cleveland.. Fast little truck back in the day.

Good looking Torino, always liked the factory stripe on those!

[@MarioLopez-yt9yl]

I like this Torino, normally I'm not a fan of yellow but I really like this one. It's the stripes on the sides and the black accents on the hood and above the tail lights on the deck lid that break it up!

[@MarioLopez-yt9yl]

Well it is over 50 years old so that's just part of it!

[@garylankford9306]

I had a 72 w/ a 351 Cleveland and at the same time my buddy had a 70 w/ a 429 Super Cobra Jet and C6 trans his dad had built strong. My favorite was the shaker hood.

[@rick12377077]

Don’t see many of those anymore. Love it!!

[@flyjarrett]

I always liked the lines of the ‘70 Torino

[@richarddevoe5871]

Stroke the motor, change the column for a 4-speed conversion and that car would be bitchin !! (Maybe even a rally dash) More power and 3 pedals, always loved the 70 Torino’s… Beautiful car !

[@gordonstroup882]

I wonder why so many of the cars that y'all sell there at your place, Maple Motors, don't have brake lights that work. My gosh, you'd think that the guys who work for you would at least notice that and let you know about it. As many cars that you test drive with no brake lights, I'm surprised that you don't hear cars behind you screeching the tires to avoid hitting your car in the rear or even having someone rear-end you. Nick, you really should have them checked out before you leave the car lot. Believe it or not, Nick, I do worry about you and your safety and the safety of others around you. Good luck, and God bless you, Nick.

Either set of Cleveland heads, 2v or 4v is great as long as it has a matching 4 barrel intake. But, the 4v make amazing power at high rpm with a big cam and steep rear gear.
