For sale is a classic piece of American muscle, a 1970 Ford Torino GT, presented in parts car condition. This Torino, a true barn find, has been sitting idle for many years, awaiting a passionate restorer or someone in need of authentic 1970 Ford Torino parts. While time and elements have taken their toll, this vehicle holds significant potential, especially for those familiar with the iconic Torino lineage.
The exterior of this 1970 Ford Torino wears a brown coat, likely its original factory color, now overlaid with a patina of surface rust. Despite the years of outdoor storage, the body panels above ground level show surprisingly minimal rust-through. A significant portion of the original brightwork remains, with chrome trim pieces still present and in respectable condition. Notably, the classic “Torino“, “351“, and “GT” emblems are still affixed, adding to the car’s vintage appeal and value for parts.
Stepping inside reveals the harsh realities of time. The interior of this Ford Torino parts car has suffered considerably, becoming home to wildlife over the decades. Evidence of this is a hole in the floorpan beneath the driver’s seat, a consequence of being grounded directly on the earth. While the previous inhabitants have moved on, remnants of their stay, including aged beverage containers, are scattered within. However, not all is lost. The front bucket seats and rear bench seat are still in place, along with a portion of the dashboard, encompassing the steering wheel, column, heater, vents, and radio components.
Under the hood lies the heart of this 1970 Torino GT: a Ford 351 Cleveland engine, equipped with a 4-barrel Autolite carburetor. Engine identification confirms this to be the sought-after M-code variant of the 351C, a high-performance version produced in 1970 and 1971. The M-code 351 Cleveland boasted an 11:1 compression ratio, large valves, a high-performance camshaft, and an заводская rating of 300 horsepower. For those seeking even greater 351C power, the Mustang Boss 351 was the next step up. While the engine’s current running condition is unknown and it is missing a radiator, it appears to be largely complete.
An intriguing feature of this 1970 Ford Torino Parts Car is the inclusion of a Shaker hood scoop setup. The hood and air cleaner assembly are designed to accommodate this iconic scoop. While the scoop itself is not currently visible, it is suspected to be stored within the locked trunk, which efforts are being made to open.
