Description of 1970 Ford Torino

First photo is for reference only! This car needs to be re-assembled. Rotisserie restoration. Car was disassembled media-blasted and then went into paint/body. Full sheetmetal no bondo. Fully documented with photos. Frame rails sealed with Rust-Mort bottom and interior of car sealed with POR-15 black and Tie-Coat Primer. Bottom of the car and wheel-houses were then painted with Calypso Coral - the original color of the car. This car will never have rust issues. The 429 and C6 are in original unrestored condition. Many parts such as window regulators were media-blasted and painted then wrapped and boxed up for storage. Some parts will still need to be cleaned up. Many parts are new NOS parts purchased over the years. Have the Twist-Lok hood pins in NOS condition. This car didn't originally have the Shaker hood and scoop but somebody converted it. I have the Shaker parts. Rear axle is the original N case 31-spline 3.50 Traction Lok complete with identification tag. Any pieces that have been replaced were replaced when possible with NOS Torino parts. The front suspension has many new parts as does the rear suspension with new rubber parts such as rear spring mounts etc. This is a power-steering and power-disk-brake car.After paint the front and rear suspension was put back in to make a rolling chassis. The wheels and tires currently on the car are from one of the #40 Carver Racing NASCAR cars. They are marked "15 Laps".What the car needs: Continued reassembly. The dash and interior need to be installed. The dash pad has some cracks and should be replaced. Have the new chrome bezel and trim plate that says "Cobra" for the dash. The original one is still on the dash. Bought a new (correct fit) dash speaker. I will install that before it leaves. Reupholstry for seats has been paid for and seats will be in freshly re-covered condition. You will need to buy the carpet set and new headliner fabric. Front seats are buckets and original upholstry was the black Turin knit.I believe that I have every part of the car to finish the assembly. Plus there will be many extras left over. If there are any little pieces missing I apologize now.I bought a second set of doors due to some nasty welding present on the original doors where the door latches are. someone did a terrible job repairing some cracks there and welded some big washers all around the door latches. The new doors look really nice but will need to be cleaned up. Oh I am missing the grille. I don't know if the previous owner sold it or whatever but it was not there when I bought the car. The grilles are hard to find and I am taking that into consideration when pricing this car.Every Torino guru will tell you that their car has this or that value. Currently NADA values the car in the low to mid $70000 range. Realistically these cars when rotisserie-restored sell somewhere in the $40000 to mid $50000 range. We are asking $17000. This leaves you approximately $20000 to $30000 cushion on the car. When I bought this car I was single and had a good job. I had all the time in the world to work on it. Now I'm married own my own business and have a 9 month old child - which equates to no-time-for-anything but work work and work. This car is NOT "an old whore in a new dress" which is a lot of what you see for sale out there. When you strip a car completely and media-blast it you find out what you really have. This car is rock-solid. Here is your chance to own it today. This is true American Muscle!
