1970 Ford Torino 429 Cobra Jet

NO RESEVE AUCTION !!!! **. *For sale is a Number matching 1970 Ford Torino J-Code 429 Cobra Jet with Ram Air Shaker Hood. Factory original engine and 4 speed manual transmission. THIS IS A NON -DRIVEABLEPROJECT CAR. The engine is not currently running because all hoses and belts were disconnected to begin restoration. The engine does turn over freely and did run strong prior to disconnection and will need a tune up(spark plugs, wires, oil change, etc). The car had a previous amateur restoration, floors were patched together with a mig welder, the floor panel cuts are crude but hold strong. The frame rails are solid, no cancer and look to have been coated with a spray on rubber bedliner material. The firewall and torque boxes look to be in great shape, no noticeable rot, or cancer. The fenders, hood and decklid are original to the car and have some dings but can be reused. The trunk floor is solid, as is the deck lid and hood. There is amateurish body work on the car, and the repaint is Macco quality, I was told it was done a decade ago. It is a one owner car, purchased from the original owners son. Overall this is a great car, that WILL NEED A COMPLETE RESTORATION. This is a complete PROJECT car, that needs a COMPLETE RESTORATION. Finish nada has it listed at $80k+, you can knock $10-$20k off that value for a quick sale. Would like to see it go to someone who can devote the time to it, but don't need to sell I have plenty of space to hold it until I decide I can devote the time to the restoration. Clean title in hand. Great investment. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION, so please don't bid unless you intend to buy, conduct your inspection prior to bidding, these auctions are expensive and time consuming. I have posted a lot of pictures, if there are pictures you would like of specific areas please contact me and I will get them to you.
