Used 1971 Ford Torino for sale in Lithia Springs, GA

It's looking sharp as can be, wears a high impact color and is still in original configuration both inside and out, as well as under the hood, where its namesake big block eagerly stands by to spring into action. This 1971 Ford Torino Cobra Jet is a rare find, to say the least. It's logged a very low 87,000 miles during its considerable lifetime and comes complete with a Marti report to chronicle not only its originality, but its strong array of factory options. These outstanding good looks haven't just been confirmed by the countless admiring nods attracted over the years ... this Torino is a bona fide award winner, having nabbed a first place trophy in its class during ACAA competition a few years back. Its medium yellow gold shade is still looking very strong, ornamented with broad black stripes that retain their sharp edges and deep black color as they run the length of its ram air hood - a period appropriate addition mirroring the available option when this '71 debuted. This is a great color scheme for a Torino of this era. The sloping Sportsroof adds even more style to a ride with plenty of it to begin with, and actually has a functional purpose, equipping the Torino with improved aerodynamics that paid dividends on the racetrack back in the day. Just as you'd expect from a car that distinguished itself in show competition, the body on this '71 is straight and solid, with great lines and even gaps surrounding its doors, hood and deck lid. In back the combination of the blackout tail panel with the pair of dual chrome exhaust tips just below creates a great look. Inside the doors, the ginger-colored interior is in great shape. The front buckets and rear bench seat are unusually clean and feature knit accents that confer upper tier status. Below, the clean state of the matching carpeting lining the floor is another sign that this special edition Ford has been looked after very carefully - with a pair of Cobra-logoed floor mats added up front. The vintage appeal on display here is undeniable and when you slide into the driver's seat and take ahold of the Hurst shifter sitting within easy reach, you'll be hard pressed not to crack a pleased smile. The dash area is another strong feature, with a full array of factory gauges that still function as intended, and a straight, uncracked pad sitting over the top. The in-dash vents on either side of it usher cooled air into the cabin via a factory air conditioning system that's still functioning in top form, and that original AM radio at the center isn't just there to add era-appropriate looks to the interior . . . it also turns right on. Beneath the cowl is the namesake 429 cubic inch V8, still performing like a champion. It's running very strong, with its 4-barrel carb resting underneath the Cobra Jet scoop as it pairs with a 4-speed manual transmission that shifts with slip-free precision. The 3.70 gears in back offer great off the line acceleration without driving the revs up too much at highway speeds. Easy navigation and prompt, fade-resistant stops come with the smooth power steering and power brakes that feature discs up front, both of which are in great working order, like everything else on board. The 14" stock wheels outfitted with Firestone Wide Oval tires complete the look of this coveted classic, which also sports a very solid and straight undercarriage below. It's not just an ultra-clean vintage Ford - this 1971 Ford Torino Cobra Jet is a genuine award winner that would look great as the centerpiece of any collector's garage. Call today!
