1971 Ford Torino GT Cobra Jet 429 – 4-Speed, Power Steering & Power Brakes

The 1971 Ford Torino GT represents the height of Ford's muscle-car era, combining aggressive styling, big-block performance, and the kind of attention to detail that makes it a collector's favorite today. This example showcases the ideal blend of factory-authentic presentation and head-turning presence, finished in show-quality condition and built to impress at every angle. The Torino GT makes a powerful first impression with its vibrant Grabber Yellow paint accented by the signature matte-black hood treatment and GT striping. The finish is beautifully polished and highlights the car's long, sweeping bodylines and sculpted fastback profile. The Cobra Jet hood scoop dominates the front view, giving this Torino its unmistakable muscle-era identity while feeding fresh air to the big-block beneath. Chrome bumpers and bright trim remain in excellent condition, framing the car's menacing stance. The front grille and headlight bezels are crisp and clean, matching the well-preserved stainless along the rockers and wheel lips. It rides on period-correct chrome Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra Radial G/T white-letter tires, completing the perfect muscle-car look with both style and stance. Every detail—from the body gaps to the emblems—reflects the quality of a carefully maintained collector car.
Inside, the Torino GT captures the feel of Ford's performance interiors of the early '70s, with factory-style black bucket seats, a full-length console, and a 4-speed Hurst shifter that reminds you this car was built for serious driving. The dash is exceptionally clean and houses a full array of factory gauges along with the trademark wood-grain sport steering wheel. The door panels, headliner, and carpeting present beautifully, maintaining the authentic character of the car. All glass and seals fit tight, and details like the Torino GT badging and brushed aluminum accents elevate the presentation. Everything inside reflects the car's performance roots while maintaining a comfortable, well-finished atmosphere ready for cruise night or show display.
Under the hood sits the heart of this Torino GT—Ford's legendary Cobra Jet 429 V8 engine, topped with its distinctive functional Ram Air hood system. The engine bay is detailed in factory-correct finishes, including the Ford Blue block and air cleaner assembly. It comes equipped with Power Steering along with Power Brakes with drums on the corners. The powerplant breathes through dual exhaust with performance mufflers, giving the car an unmistakable, deep muscle-car tone. Backing the big-block is a 4-speed manual transmission that shifts with precision and transfers power to a 9-inch rear end, making this Torino a thrill to drive while retaining its authentic muscle heritage. The underside is clean and solid, showcasing properly routed dual exhaust, fresh suspension components, and a chassis that's ready for both display and spirited road use.
With its combination of iconic styling, Cobra Jet power, and 4-speed performance, this 1971 Ford Torino GT embodies everything enthusiasts love about the golden era of American muscle.
