its too good to pass up.@Clutch, are you gonna get it?
I actually like the nose on that prototypeI loved my 1970 Torino GT but It's hard to wrap my head around the front end on that thing. It looks like a Corvette mated with a Torino GT
This is what mine looked like. Same color but with stock wheels. They came from the factory with the ass end hiked up a little like that.
Yeah well, you live upside down also.
Cheeky beggar!Yeah well, you live upside down also.
It looks like the nose of a 280z Nissan/Datsun 1980?.....79?Yeah well, you live upside down also.
That reminds me .....I saw this the other day.
That's funny!! DJ had one, just like that, when we we're younger. I was in my '63 pick up and he tried to pass me on the outside going through Malibu Canyon road, near the tunnel. I moved over on him and mashed him into the side of the mountain at about 50 mph. He spun it out across the road and hammered a guardrail. I was nice enough to turn around and see if he was ok
Who the hell would pay to boat that thing over???
I had a friend who had a '70 Super Cobra Jet 429 Drag Pack 4 speed Torino. Very fun car. I had a ;69 428 Super Cobra Jet Drag Pack at the time.I loved my 1970 Torino GT but It's hard to wrap my head around the front end on that thing. It looks like a Corvette mated with a Torino GT

My dad had a 71 Mach1 429SCJ drag pack car. Imagine what they'd be worth today...
I am a very big fan of Bud Moore and Holman Moody....... Anything to do with them I love reading. Thanks for the article Clutch, I read the whole thing and really enjoyed it. Crazy that he bought both cars for 1200 bucks!!!!!!!!!!!
The SCJ cars with drag packs were very rare. Awesome cars!!!!!!!!!!! I know just what you are saying about what they would be worth. At the time I was growing up, all those old muscle cars were a dime a dozen. You bought one, wore it out or got tired of it and traded it for another. I had a '66 Mustang K code, 271 horse with all options, the 428 SCJ, a '70 GTX 440 6 pack car, a '69 Chevelle 396 4 speed car, and numerous other cars including a pretty nice '56 Chevy with a 350 and a 2 4 barrell setup off a late '50's Vette.... my neighbor got the deal of the century...... A '32 deuce 5 window off the show car circuit in CA. He bought it off a used car lot.!!!!!! Can't recall now exactly what he paid...... but..... I think something like 12 or 1500 dollars....... lotsa' chrome and an all steel car....... excellent shape........
That's as good a pinto as you'll find!@Clutch
I got my cousin (DJ's brother) to send me pics of his Pinto wagon with the King Cobra front end. These pics aren't that good, I think they're pics of photographs but the front end is obvious. Ford SVO wheels, skirt kit, 2.3L turbo, 5-speed manual...
