Factory 4 speed 351 Cobra Jet Ford Torino base model - rare performance set up

1972 Ford Torino Description

Up for auction, 1972 FordTorinobase model.Factory equipped with a 351 Cobra Jet,4 speed transmission, bench seat and rubber floor mat.This car came from Illinois and was sitting for many years before I bought it. It still has the original title from 1972 and some paperwork from the dealership.

This car is very straightbut as you can see from the photos it does haverust. Being from WisconsinI've seen worse. There is a small section rustedthrough on left rear frame rail close to where the trailing arm attaches.The drivers side floor has a couple ofrusty sections. The passenger side floor is in better shape. Trunk is innice shape.

I have never seen another base model Torino with this drivetrain and almost no options except for the performance stuff. This car is set up like a '69 Torino Cobra! It's a must have for any 351 CJ collector because chances are no one else has ever seen one like it.

Carkept by the original owner until 2016. It was still riding on Goodyear Polyglass tires that are in very poor shape, mounted on original rims. I putthree 16" Crown Victoria wheels on it. The fourth polyglass tireis still on the car butvibrates when driving. I keptthe other three wheels and tires. I believe all 5 wheels are original to the car.

The first 5 digits of the VIN are: 2H25Q

Other options include:medium blue metallic, ralley group, trac loc differential, power brakes, power steering, electric rear defogger, body side mouldings,bumper guards, racing mirrors.

There is currently a stereo in the car but I believe by the option list it is a radio delete car.

It has 72,250 original miles,runs good andhas good oil pressure.I've driven it around the neighborhood a couple of times going up to about 50mph...drivetrain sounds really good and it shifts through all gears nicely. It's loud because the pipes are rusted at the front of the mufflers. The car was not driven for many years before I bought it soit needs brakes, tires, etc.

Please ask any questions before bidding. If you want more photos just email me.

This car is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Happy bidding and thank you for looking!
