However with the NASCAR oval still an influence in everyone’s racing agenda, Ford decided to come up with a car that would be competitive with Dodge & Plymouths that were eating up the tracks with the winged cars. In 1970 the newly designed 429 allowed Ford to stay in the game with the Torino as the NASCAR chassis of choice. The production GT Torino Cobra was marketed toward the more affluent buyer and the option list was longer with more trim d?cor levels while still offering up very stout performance numbers. And to get a real thrill from the 429 engine was to bolt it up to a 4-speed tranny and this combination made a very HOT street package. While it offered up room for four and a trunk worthy of carrying more then a few bags of grocery and truth be told it was not easy to get your hands on oe from your local Ford dealer. While the Torino 429 with 4-speed transmission was not as well known in its day as the Chrysler Hemi product but by 1970 had been developed into a fully competitive setup with the Chrysler Corporation Hemis and in many cases could edge out the Hemi in its race form and properly setup. Today it seems that the serious collectors are looking for the more rare muscle cars and not the “me too” muscle cars that were setup to look like they could perform but would fall flat on the racetrack or the drag strip. The 1970 Ford Torino GT 429 4-speed took a backseat to no muscle car in 1970 either on the racetrack or drag strip – yet was docile enough to drive around town. It also accommodate driver and passengers in a very roomy and luxurious form so that you could race on Sunday and drive it to work on Monday. Today when you go to a muscle car show you are usually dazzled by the great number of Hemi’s and Camaro Z28 but you hardly ever see more then one Torinos 429. The car for sale in this ad was
restored in the 1990s and has been decoded and below you will find the decoding
that matches the car up completely. This car is in such beautiful condition it was on the cover of a calendar as shown.

Watch Piquet and Mansell bend some sheetmetal in Ford Fusion GP
Tue, 12 Feb 2013As we told you about before, there were four episodes planned for the Ford Fusion GP campaign in Brazil, and the whole series has now run its course. The Ford ads pit Brazilian Formula One driver Nelson Piquet against English F1 pilot Nigel Mansell driving the new Fusion, the two coming together again after their partnership at the Williams F1 team ended in a miserable state more than 20 years ago.
They're lined up for you below, in reverse chronological order. You should watch number three first, though, as it adds a bit more spice to the NASCAR action in the fourth.
First Ford Mustang prototype shots caught by legendary spy shooter Jim Dunne
Fri, 12 Apr 2013You know how people refer to someone as having "been around the block" to mean they're very experienced? Well, when it comes to automotive spy photography, Jim Dunne actually laid down the concrete slabs of the block's sidewalk. The unforgettable Dunne more or less invented the car spy game - a fact he cemented by writing book called Car Spy - and has been delivering spy shots and reporting on the industry for some 45 years now. (He also once employed this writer as his impromptu personal chauffer on a Volkswagen trip in Germany, while he slept, but that's a story for a different time.)
In any event, Dunne must be on a mission to prove that "elder statesman" doesn't also mean "washed up" as it is his shots of the upcoming new 2014 Ford Mustang that we've been handed by our friends at KGP Photography.
Mr. Dunne has likely spent the last few years obtaining powerful telescopic lenses, as the Ford in question has clearly been photographed from some distance. Nevertheless, what you see here is visual evidence that the sixth-generation Mustang has moved beyond the mule stage, and is now testing in proper prototype form. Sources indicate that there are production-spec body panels under that baggy canvass dress; but the slightly less bulky silhouette of the new car can be just made out. While the car's bumpers have been removed to obfuscate things, we can tell by way of the camo's apertures that the car's taillights have moved upwards and towards the lip of the tail. A fender vent appears to be visible, too, just behind the front wheel.
Ford readying dozen+ Mustang models for SEMA
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Ford is unsurprisingly bringing a herd of its new 2015 Mustang models to next month's SEMA show in Las Vegas. Over a dozen of them are arriving from top aftermarket outfits like Galpin Auto Sports, Steeda, Roush and others. The Blue Oval isn't just shining a spotlight on the V8 model, though. The new EcoBoost 2.3-liter version with 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque is also getting its time in the sun.
Among the shined-up ponies will be a showcar helping Galpin celebrate the Mustang's golden anniversary, with the car is covered in the precious metal. The black paint over the body has gold flecks in it, and the wheels, side sills, brake calipers and badges all match, as well. However, it takes more than something shiny to truly impress at SEMA, and Galpin's Mustang also packs a Whipple supercharger for the 5.0-liter V8, boosting the bottom line to 725 horsepower. Take that, Hellcat. There's even a window in the hood to look through, not unlike a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The coupe also wears new headlights with LED turn signals that activate in sequence, just like the taillights, and the interior features black-and-gold Recaro seats.
Also set for its SEMA debut is an MRT showcar that takes the EcoBoost Mustang for a gallop with its TKO treatment. The black and orange two-tone car has been designed to incorporate select road racing elements. Mechanical upgrades include 14-inch brake rotors with new ducts, a Vortech air-to-air intercooler and an Air Lift suspension. The Mustang also shows off the company's products for added style and performance including a hood with integrated heat extractors and a unique front splitter.
