Lot #729.1 - This 1970 Ford Torino N/W Edition is powered by a 429ci Cobra Jet engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter, power steering and brakes. With the new-generation Torino set to debut in 1970, the Oregon Ford Dealer Association wanted to release a special edition to help promote the new body style. The aptly named North-West Edition featured a muscle car appearance with black hoods, dual chrome lock pins, dual racing mirrors and rocker panel stripes. Three factory special colors were available Oregon Orange, Washington Green and Pacific Blue. This 1970 Ford Torino North-West Edition 429 Cobra Jet is finished in Pacific Blue with a black interior and is one of 12 cars equipped with these engine and transmission codes, according to the Marti Report that comes with the car. The Torino is still equipped with its original tags located on the engine, transmission and rear differential verifying it as a matching-numbers example.
