1971 Ford Torino

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is pleased to present this 1971 Ford Torino in Medium Blue Metallic. In the pantheon of classic muscle cars, once you get past the Mustang, the Blue Oval is often sorely under-represented. There is no better example of an overlooked fire-breathing Ford than the Torino, a mid-size option that debuted at the end of the 1960s and which would eventually spawn several high-performance models capable of holding their own against the options of what Mopar and GM had to offer. Under the hood is a terrific 289cubic-inch V-8 that looks great radiating the dark inner walls. And the shaker air grabber is pure classic cool. It makes for a good cruiser today, and we bet you are thinking about the big and affordable catalog of aftermarket components that unleash plenty of added power from just a weekend's tune-up. Having a strong-running package already in place means you already have a solid V8 tune out of the dual exhaust and a solid feeling out on the road. Plus, this has the right easy driver features, like the C-4 automatic transmission, 2.79 gearing, power steering, power brakes and Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires. The cabin features front and rear bench seats trimmed in Medium Blue vinyl upholstery joined by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and vinyl floor coverings. Amenities include Vintage air conditioning, quarter vent windows, a locking glovebox, lap belts, and a push-button AM/FM/Bluetooth radio. The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a sweeping, horizontal 120-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. This Torino has the kind of rarity and style that is irresistible. From day one, you will appreciate how this is sleek, fun, distinct, and quite memorable. So, if you are looking to be the stand out, even at a Ford show, this Torino delivers!
