1970 Ford Torino GT 429 Restomod Calypso Coral paint 288 Miles
And if we're honest, they're seldom restored to such a high standard, let alone given a top-of-the-line restomod treatment like this dialed-in muscle car. Powered by a thumping 598 V8 big block built to conquer the streets and a performance suspension that keeps it planted to the road, it's an absolute stunner wrapped in off-the-charts Calypso Coral paint. With a build bill just short of $150K and only 288 miles on the clock, it's a turn-key, show-stopping Torino built to a level we've never seen. The Torino can be considered Ford's answer to the Chevelle, but sadly it was a distant second in the popularity contest vs. Chevy's erstwhile A-body. However, if more people had seen a car like this Torino GT 429 Restomod, perhaps the numbers would have changed. 1970 was a big year for changes for Ford, as the 2nd generation Torino became the primary model that relegated the long-running Fairlane to a sub-series. Such a big change necessitated design updates. Ford smartly moved away from the boxy lines of previous models and completely embraced the coke-bottle/supersonic aircraft styling that would soon define the era. And the lower, longer, wider, and curvaceous Torino exemplified this new direction in design.
