1970 Torino 429 super cobra jet 2 owner car highly documented only 57 k miles

In 1970, he heavy-breathing 429 was offered up in three configurations: the 360-hp Thunder Jet, he hydraulic-lifter 370-hp Cobra Jet (CJ) and finally, he 375-hp Super Cobra Jet (SCJ).

The only way buyers could up the ante for the 429 SCJ was to check the box for the Drag Pack option. This gave performance-minded buyers a 429- ci engine with 4-bolt mains, olid lifter cam, orged pistons, ig-mouth 780 CFM Holley carburetor and an engine oil cooler to help keep the beast from melting down on a hot pass. Buyers also received a 4.30:1 Detroit Locker or 3.91:1 Traction-Lok rear differential to keep all that power in check. The Shaker Hood was another option, s the SCJ was available with or without Ram Air induction.

The performance lineup for the Torino came in two packages: the Torino Cobra or the Torino GT. The Torino Cobra was a bare-bones variant, s it was designed more for no-frills street performance while sacrificing some creature comforts. The GT was marketed toward more affluent buyers, s the option list was longer, ith more trim and décor levels while still offering up some pretty stout performance numbers. The GT with the 429 SCJ and drag pack running through the 3.91:1 gears hit the clock at just under 14 seconds in the quarter mile, hich isn't too shabby for a bloated, 700-pound 4-seater.

The original buyer obviously ordered our subject car for some formidable street action. The only missing items are bucket seats and a 4-speed tranny. The factory air conditioning was a trade-out for the C-6 transmission, s buyers could not get the 429 SCJ combined with A/C and a 4-speed on the floor. The overall combination certainly made a hot street package, nd it offered up room for four and a trunk worthy of carrying more than a few bags of groceries.
