The Torino was a model manufactured by Ford for the North American market way back in 1968 before concluding production in 1976. The Torino was a strong competitor in the intermediate market category. An interesting fact about this car is that it was named after the city Turin in Italy which is also pronounced Turino in Italian. The Torino debuted in 1968, with its sleek outlook aimed at being an upscaled version of its cousin, the Ford Fairlane. It claimed the top spot in the intermediate line-up when it debuted, knocking the Fairlane 500 down a notch and displacing the performance-oriented GT models in the process. In 1970, the Torino came to the spotlight to become Ford’s primary model, and the Fairlane was forced into the shadows to become a sub-series. This example is a 1970 model year two owner car up for sale in Florida with 94,000 miles to its name, unrestored, and is reported to have zero rust.
Exterior and Interior
Ford moved away from emulating the boxy lines of the full-size Fords to a brand-new design direction for the 1970 Torino/Fairlane line, influenced by ‘coke-bottle’ styling. The 1970 Ford Torino was distinguished from Ford’s 1968 models by its more pronounced long hood and short deck style, as well as its length, width, and lower profile. The subject car has all its numbers matched, comes with original keys and is a playful mix of a mustard yellow exterior paint that complements the warm brown leather interior, and is thus sure to turn a few heads. The colour of the top was changed from black to white in 1975, giving it an elegant two-toned appearance. This vehicle also has its original glass rear window and sits on BF Goodrich radial tires. The owner claims that the factory AC is functional and blows cold.
Engine
This Torino is powered by its original 5.8L 351cid V8 engine that sends 290bhp to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. The car features power disc brakes that have been recently fitted with brand new parts to bring it to a stop. It is also reported to have undergone a recent fluid flush.
Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Talladega. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Talladegas like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Talladega, contact us right now.

The Ford F-150 is already one of America’s most recognizable pickups, but this 2022 Ford F-150 Shelby takes the familiar platform in a much more serious direction. Showing 45,615 miles, this truck combines a well-equipped Lariat-based F-150 with an extensive Shelby American performance package. Its centerpiece is a supercharged 5.0L V8 tuned to produce 775 horsepower, backed by a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. Shelby also transformed the chassis and appearance with a BDS suspension lift, Fox shocks, 22-inch Shelby wheels, bodywork, graphics, and a long list of Shelby-specific details. The limited-edition numbered plate identifies this example as #22ST0086.
Few vintage 4x4s have the enthusiast following of the first-generation Ford Bronco, and this 1971 Ford Bronco Restomod takes that classic formula in a decidedly performance-oriented direction. Showing approximately 2,242 miles, this build combines a 302ci Ford Racing crate V8 with a Holley 570 CFM Street Avenger 4-barrel carburetor, a 3-speed manual transmission, and four-wheel drive. Finished in Wimbledon White and Guardsman Blue with dual Blue stripes, it also features James Duff suspension, Dana 44 and Ford 9-inch axle hardware, Warn locking hubs, roadster-style doors, a family-style roll cage, and a long list of custom audio and trim upgrades. The result is a Bronco that retains its unmistakable early off-road character while incorporating the mechanical and aesthetic touches enthusiasts look for in a thoughtfully executed restomod.
The 2017 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake is what happens when one of America’s most familiar full-size pickups is handed over to Shelby and turned into something far more outrageous. Showing approximately 43,139 miles, this Oxford White SuperCrew pairs the comfort and practicality of a heavily optioned Lariat with a Shelby-engineered 750 HP supercharged 5.0L V8, making it a truck that can haul, cruise, and deliver genuine muscle-car levels of attitude. The transformation goes well beyond the engine, with 22-inch Shelby Retro chrome wheels, a lowered Shelby suspension, functional ram-air hood, full-body rally stripes, unique Shelby bodywork, and a tuned Borla exhaust all contributing to its unmistakable presence. Inside, Shelby registry details are joined by desirable factory equipment such as Equipment Group 502A, the Technology Package, adaptive cruise control, and a twin-panel moonroof. It is the kind of truck that combines everyday usability with the theater and exclusivity enthusiasts expect from the Shelby name.
