1970 Ford Torino

Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is excited to offer this 1970 Ford Torino GT for sale! You can be forgiven for doing a double-take on this 1970 Ford Torino GT convertible because they're so rare (less than 4k were ever built and most have not survived the crusher) that very few people even know they exist. Fortunately, this one does exist and looks great, with a strong running 351 cubic inch Cleveland V8 under the hood, it's got enough power to match its stunning looks. This rotisserie restored Torino was torn down in 2016 and completed in 2017.

The Torino can probably be considered Ford's answer to the Chevelle, but sadly it was a distant second in the popularity contest vs. Chevy's erstwhile A-body. However, if more people had seen a car like this Torino GT convertible, perhaps the numbers would have changed. 1970 was a big year for changes for Ford, as the 2nd generation Torino became the primary model that made the long-running Fairlane become a sub-series. Such a big change necessitated design updates, and Ford indeed moved away from the boxy lines of previous models, and completely embraced the coke-bottle/supersonic aircraft styling that would soon define the era. And the lower, longer, wider, and curvaceous Torino exemplified this new direction in design. This one is finished in handsome Calypso Coral With Gold Pearl, which isn't the car's original color but nevertheless looks very classy on the big ragtop. There are plenty of performance styling cues, most notably the hood scoop and the aforementioned laser stripe along its flanks, and the double headlights work well on the redesigned Torino. The 1970 redesign also added a full-width taillight, a design element that would sweep through the entire FoMoCo lineup in the early '70s, but scarcely does it look better than on the Torino.

The black interior offers plush vinyl on the seats, and there's certainly plenty of comfort to the big ragtop. The pleated design on the door panels mirrors the look of the seats. The big, wide instrument panel puts all the controls right in front of the driver, including a trio of auxiliary units on the dash, and the A/C was upgraded to a new system with R134a refrigerant. An upgraded Radio lives in the center of the dash, there's also a 3-spoke wood steering wheel at the helm, and the console makes it feel top tier inside. And speaking of nice, the trunk is quite spacious, Overhead, there's a black power convertible top that folds neatly behind the seats.

Power comes from a rebuilt 351 cubic inch Cleveland V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor, which delivers torquey performance that's a lot of fun. The engine bay is upgraded, with Chrome Accessories and that modern A/C compressor which is pumping R134a refrigerant. The 3-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly and there are tall gears in the back to make it a great highway cruiser that just eats up the pavement. There's an updated dual exhaust system with mufflers underneath that just sounds awesome, Speaking of underneath, the floors look amazing, showing the quality of restoration. Power steering and power brakes ensure a great drive every time out. This killer GT look is enhanced further by a bright set of chrome Cragar rims wrapped in 15" Radial TA White Letter Tires.
