This 1970 Ford Torino GT convertible is powered by a 351ci Cleveland V8 mated to a 4-speed Toploader manual transmission and optioned with heavy-duty suspension, front disc brakes, air conditioning, bucket seats, a center console, and more.
The 351ci Cleveland V8 is topped with a “shaker” scoop.
A 4-speed Toploader manual transmission was fitted in place of the factory Cruise-O-Matic unit in 1994 and has been rebuilt.
A new Hurst shift linkage has also been fitted.
The car underwent a refurbishment in 1994 that included an exterior and interior color change as well as a manual transmission conversion.
More recent service have included a transmission rebuild along with fitment of a new rear window motor, A/C compressor, valve springs and seals, brakes, shift linkage, battery, and more.
The Torino was redesigned for 1970 with a longer and wider body than its predecessor.
This example was finished in Bright Gold Metallic from the factory and repainted in its current Grabber Blue with Laser side stripes in 1994.
Notable features include concealed headlights and a tachometer mounted to the shaker hood.
Equipped from the factory with heavy duty suspension, the car is fitted with 15″ Magnum 500 wheels fitted with BFGoodrich T/A tires.
Recent work have included the installation of new shocks along with an overhaul of the front disc and rear drum brakes with a new master cylinder, rotors, wheel bearings, and hoses.
The interior was changed from white to black vinyl.
Options include high-back bucket seats with deluxe belts, a 3-spoke steering wheel, a center console, power steering and windows, air conditioning, intermittent wipers, and a working AM/FM stereo.
The 5-digit odometer shows just over 14k miles, with total mileage unknown.
