The 1969 Pontiac GTO Ram Air IV Convertible: The Four-Speed Combo Almost No One Ordered

by Jack Harmon

A 1969 Pontiac GTO convertible built with the factory Ram Air IV and a four-speed manual is one of the rarest driveline combinations Pontiac ever offered — quicker than nearly any GTO on the road and scarcer than most Judges.

Ford Torino 1970 Cobra 429 SCJ

by Kiril

The 1970 Torino Cobra with the 429 Super Cobra Jet is the muscle car that most enthusiasts can name and almost none have driven. Ford rated it at 375 horsepower, five more than the standard Cobra Jet, but the interesting part is what those five horsepower were hiding. The SCJ was not a tuning exercise. It was a structurally different engine, and you could only get it by ordering something else entirely.

That Gorgeous 1970 Torino Could Be Hiding a Brutal Cowl Rust Bill

by Jack Harmon

You finally found it: a clean-looking 1970 Torino with the right stance, the right engine note, and a seller who says it “just needs a little cowl work.” Those six words can quietly turn a weekend project into a months-long rebuild. According to a restorer who has worked on more than his share of Ford unibodies, the 1970-71 Torino cowl is the most complex cowl design he has personally tackled, and getting to it means tearing out heavy bracing and drilling countless spot welds. Worse, the upper cowl plates on a rusted example aren’t currently reproduced by AMD. Before you hand over a deposit, here is what buyers need to understand about the one area that can make or break a Torino purchase.

by Jack Harmon

A 1969 Chevrolet Camaro built purely as a test mule just became the most expensive Camaro ever sold at auction. The reason it exists at all says more about a crack in Chevrolet’s own paperwork system than it does about horsepower.

by Jack Harmon
