BTW - anyone know if this '71 convertible was able to be ordered with the 429ci CobraJet powerplant ?!? 🚘🔍. 🤔. Many Thanks Yo !

Here's to a new year and hoping Mr. Magnante gets back into the swing of things. No, that's not correct. The standard engine in the Torino GT was a 302 V8, but you could also get a Torino GT convertible with a 429 V8 in 1971. It did require front disc brakes. We got the VIN, we win: 1 for 1971 model year, H for Lorain, OH assembly, 37 for Torino GT convertible, H for 351 V8 with two barrel and the rest is the production sequence. The Lorain, OH plant operated from 1958 to 2005. We got the tag, we can brag, and go all the way, don't you say? 76F for Torino GT convertible, M for White exterior paint, YW for White bucket seat vinyl knitted interior trim, 6 for 3.00:1 rear axle ratio, non-locking, W for C-4 automatic transmission, and 62 for Houston, TX sales district. Correct, 240 gross horsepower, 9:1 compression ratio, running on regular fuel.

Thanks. You confirmed my memories on engine choices. I think the Torino GT mimiced the 1971 Mach One Mustang regarding engine choices with a 2V 302 as the base engine and a series of 429's on the top. One difference is that I thought this version of the Torino would have had an FMX auto transmission. I think the Mustangs had a C4 Cruiseomatic for the lower horsepower version, the FMX in the middle for the 351's and C6 Cruiseomatics for the 429's and maybe 351 Cobra Jets. Don't have my sources anymore and the mind gets fuzzy with age. As an aside I had a 1971Mach One with that same engine and FMX with a 2.75:1 rear end. Would easily get 20-21 MPG and was very quick inspite of the tall rear end.

@@scottspilis1940 FMX? What a mess. LOL. Ford's transmissions, carburetion, ignition and fuel controls were all terrible. They didn't make bad engines, but they were far behind the times of GM. Even through the 1980s, while Ford went four speed across the board in a lot of cases (AOD), it was a clunky piece of junk.

@@LongIslandMopars54 here, and I have a quick story to tell. I will try not to drag on but I was 15 years old and my Dad had the talk with me about getting a first car. I had worked a paper route since I was 10 years old and had saved practically every nickle I made and every tip I received until I was 15. So my pop said he would triple what I had and to start looking around. So I did. Stumbled across a 1979 Hemi Orange Cuda. This thing was absolutely gorgeous in my eyes. I wanted it so bad. But then the old man came to inspect it. He had grown up with Plymouths, so I had that going for me. But I doubt any of the plymouths he knew had felt like a rocket strapped to your ass. As soon as he heard the grumble of that 383. I was working every angle to convince my dad that I could be trusted with the responsibility of owning such a fierce machine but the salesman leaving the parking lot side was and chirping 1st through 3rd did little to help my cause. Sadly it was not to be for myself and that amazing piece of machinery. And the asking price was 2,250 bucks. That car today would have been 50,000 easily.

We would get the scoop shovels out and dig out and get going again and then get stuck again lol that was just about the time he would call the road crew out to clear the snow.

A buddy of mine up in Canada had a Torino GT convertible with a factory 428 in it. Our provincial insurance company said it didn't exist as the serial # said it was a hard top. They finally sent someone out to look at it to confirm what he was telling them. Turns out there were two test vehicles that got out of Ford. He had 1 , and the other one was in California, if I remember correctly . This all happened back in the late 70's.

By 1971 the popularity of convertibles was waning. First because of the availability of air conditioning and second because back then convertible tops would last only 3-5 years at best.
