Auto World’s apple red American Muscle 1970 Ford Torino GT screams “catch me if you can” in big letters. Featuring fine details like a matte black shaker hood scoop, matching rear louvers, painted window trim, and chromed bumpers, door handles, and hood pins, the exterior com- pares well to Motor Trend’s 1970 Car of the Year. The red interior has high-back bucket seats, a console with mounted 4-speed shifter, and a detailed, well-gauged dash. Under the hood lies a plumbed and wired 429-cubic-inch Cobra Jet V-8 engine bay, complete down to its Autolite battery. A cool detail—the chas- sis’ red oxide color with body color paint overspray—sets the stage for a detailed suspension, drivetrain, and dual exhaust system. Rounding out this limited edition (1,250 made) beauty is a set of Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in Goodyear RWL rubber. It almost looks good enough to eat. – Andy Goodman autoworldstores.com
