1969 Ford Torino GT R code 428 scj 4 speed W code drag pak fastback project
Description
1969 Ford Torino GT fastback, 1 of 1 built, ram air, 428 super cobra jet, 4 speed close ratio toploader, 9" W code 4:30:1 Traction-lok rear, Red exterior with black C stripe, Black bucket seats, project car. This is a pretty solid car to redo. Please see the Marti reports.
The list below has missing parts listed. I put a * behind it if I have it from my other parts cars and will include that part.
I will be updating this add as I dig into it more.
Body: GT grille is cracked in the usual spots but can be repaired, front bumper is dented*, front lower cross member below the radiator looks like every butt head hooked their winch cable on to it, can be fixed in place and not rotted, battery apron is good, inner fenders are good, firewall is good, cowl is not rotted, cowl cover has a minor ding*, hood scoop is missing ( generic piece available everywhere ), hood is junk ( typical bent at rear hinge area plus more dents, maybe use as a template for ram air pie cut ), hood peak molding is dented*, both front fenders are dented, passenger door is trash* ( matching rust free door included ), drivers door dented* ( rust free one included ), need to open door to see the door tag still ( 1/5/2020 ), roof has dents, passenger 1/4 has rot at bottom about the size of a baseball behind the rear wheel, typical, along with a CB antannae hole, driver side 1/4 has dents, trunk lid is decent but has some pinholes, rear panel is good, rear bumper is a good.
Underneath is good front frame rails, torque boxes, driver front floor/toe need a pan, passenger front pan/toe needs a pan, 4 speed hump is good, small spot at bucket seat reinforcement on drivers side, outer rockers good, diver side rear front rail has a fixable bang ( probably from a jack ), passenger good, and from under the bucket seats back is all good, floors, transition pan, staggered 4 speed rear shock panel, inner/outer wheel wells, trunk drop off, rear frame rails, and trunk floor are good as well as trunk lip where trunk lid gasket seats ( usually gone ). Gas tank is dented good. They are now making sheet metal for these cars ( AMD brand ).
Suspension is all original, front big sway bar with special spacers is in tact, power front disc brakes roll easy, power steering has a broken shaft at control piston, speedo cable is there, steering box, original 9" N case rear with 31 spline axles and 4:30 gears in the traction-lok unit, brakes and rolls easy, factory rear leafs with a ding dong shackle installed ( way cool, not ). Has 4 original chrome GT styled steel wheels and caps. Tires dont hold air that long. Magnums are NOT included.
Interior is missing a lot but has factory 4 speed tach wiring, I am looking for the tach cluster still, nice padded dash*, lower dash is in with original am/fm radio, broken kick panels*, 69 bucket seats ( correct 69 emblems ), no console, no carpet, missing driver side door panel ( I think I have one but havent had time to look ), rear interior 1/4 panels missing, back seat is there, missing belts*, package tray is there, windshield is missing, door glass is gone* ( I have correct 69 door glass with weatherstrip for both sides, not 68 ).
Engine is rebuilt and date correct and casting numbers correct but NOT original to the car, so no matching VIN stamp, car was built in mid June of 1969, late car, motor is May 1969 dates which is the correct time window, intake to pan, dampner to block plate. I popped the pan to see the 1UA crank, lemans rods, etc. I need to take a pic thru the spark plug hole to show new pistons. I can see all fresh machine work. Will verify all today ( 1/5/2020 ), like pistons, valve seats, crank/rods cut, etc
Trans is a correct 4 speed toploader, big in, big out, close ratio 4 speed, Rug AJ, not original to car but correct casting numbers. Bellhousing is the same deal, correct big bell with hump and Z on it but I think dated september 14, 1968 ( 8J14 ). Might swap this bell housing out as I think I have a better date.
What you see in the pictures is what you get except for me adding the missing parts that I do have
I can send more pics thru "WhatsApp". That allows 30 pics at a time or text. Not emailing 5 pics at a time because that would take hours.
