NUMBERS Matching engine, No reason to believe transmission is not. 351 Cleveland, C-4 transmission, I have done lots of work to bring this back to this condition. Heads have been rebuilt. Engine pulled and repainted to correct ford blue, engine bay detailed, this work was done about 5 years ago so it does show a little grime. Transmission has a shift kit. Period correct Cragar rims with Firestone FireHawk tires. Seats redone with Legendary upholstery. Original AM radio, period correct Kmart FM converter. Any parts that needed to be replaced were done either with NOS or aftermarket repop items. Authentic ford spark plug wires, heater hoses, vapor canister tubing and heat riser duct. Rear quarters and torque boxes have been professionally repaired and the paint shows well but has various scratches and dings. Could use a new vinyl roof. OR you can do as I have done which is drive it and enjoy it as I have.
If you want a car that looks like you just drove it off the cars lot I have a set of 14x7 ford rims with the dog dish hub caps with new F70 14 bias ply tires that will go with the car if the reserve price is met. The last picture shows this tire leaning against the front driver side tire.
I have a Marti report on this car as well

I will be adding some more pictures shortly. Just some more information on this car.
The dashes in these cars are notorious for cracking and this one is cracked as well, I have a dash cap on the dash that I installed right after i bought her. I painted it to match dash color, could use a new one.
The front and rear emblems are NOS as well as the lighter. I have had many compliments on them. used ones are usually faded and cracked.
As indicated in the description car has scratched and dings, not a lot but I have added pictures of the worst.
The frame rails are solid with no rot or rust through, The underside does have surface rust no rust through that I have noticed.
I have added more pictures of the vinyl top. These cars with vinyl tops tend to rust out in the lower corner of the rear window. There are 3 small bubbles under the vinyl under This car never leaves the garage when it rains and is not driven in the winter and is covered and stored inside till spring.
The jack has been cleaned and painted and displays very well in the truck.
I have many parts and decals that I have acquired over the years that will go with the car as well.
It needed a new battery so I put one in. I am not going to leave that for the new owner.

I have added a picture of the worst scratch. Also a picture of the Marti report, it has the VIN number on it if you want to check that. The bottom of the doors have also been repaired at some point. There is no bubbling of the paint anywhere so that means there is no rust forming underneath the paint. I have many brochures and articles about the Torino\'s from 1970-71, ready to be displayed at any car show that you go to. I have the build sheet and a copy of the customer invoice and the dealer invoice, all of these are great items to display at a car show! I have a magazine included that has an article on the Springtime Edition Torino\'s and how they differ from a standard Torino. A Springtime has a Halo vinyl roof that has a chrome trim that shows of the roof and instead of a plain interior they upgrade to a GT interior. I believe that ginger interior is only offered with this package.
