Dave's obsession with the Ford Torino Cobra started way back when he was 16 year old and his sister owned a 1970 Torino GT. It didn't have the 429 SCJ engine, but it was still shredding the tires with ease. Dave actually ended up owning that car, but got rid of it shortly as the Police was always after him because of all the burnouts they did in town.

Already in love with the Ford Torino, in 1987 Dave acquired a rusty Yellow Torino Cobra, but didn't get much luck searching for body parts. Shortly after that a friend of his told him about an Orange one sitting in a field, so he purchased that one as well. Long story short, Dave combined the 2 cars to the 429 SCJ beast he owns today.

With the Calypso Coral paint, flat Black hood, 15-inch Magnums and bucket seats Dave's 1970 Ford Torino Cobra 429 SCJ looks pretty much stock. But that's just the appearance. The 429 Super Cobra Jet V8 engine is now stroked to 557 cubic inches with 11.8 to 1 compression and fed with modified 1,000 CFM Quick Fuel Holley carburetor.

Dave estimates his tire shredding Calypso Coral 1970 Ford Torino Cobra 429 SCJ at 650 horsepower to the fly wheel. The power is controlled by T-handle Hurst shifter Top-loader 4-speed manual transmission, factory 9-inch rear end with 4.11 gears, 31 spline axles, N-case and Detroit locker.
