Ford Made the Torino Cobra Its Bargain Muscle Car in 1970 — The Torino Line Still Won Motor Trend’s Car of the Year

A documented, no-reserve 1970 Ford Torino Cobra is turning heads online — a stripped-down, four-speed 429 built to undercut its own GT sibling. Its Marti Report backs up every option, but the real surprise is what the whole Torino lineup it came from won that same year.

Ford built fewer than 20 examples of this exact combination: a 429 Super Cobra Jet, the factory drag pack, a four-speed manual, bench seating, and a convertible body, all wrapped in black paint with a red laser stripe. This 1970 Torino GT is exactly the kind of low-production oddity that Muscle Car of the Week was built to spotlight. Longtime Ford enthusiasts rarely get to see a build sheet this unusual restored and running. Watch to see why this convertible stands apart from every other Torino GT.
