When it comes to mixing muscle car brute force with elegance and refinement, few do it better than a 1970 Ford Torino with a 429 Cobra Jet V8 under the hood. The secondgeneration Ford Torino ran for only two years, 1970 and 1971. Gone were the boxy squared off lines of its predecessor and in its place was a more sculpted, aerodynamic shape that utilized a modern coke bottle design. A long hood, raked windshield, and sleeker rear sports roof gave the car a much more aggressive look and feel, especially when combined with the Cobra options package.

Combine that with a shaker hood that tipped off the public to the 370HP and 450 lb. ft of torque hammer of an engine that lurked under the bonnet, and you’ve got the car that Ford’s Mustang aspired to be when it grew up.

On this episode of Hemmings, TESTED Muscle, host Mike Musto experiences one of Ford’s last executive muscle coupes and comes away with a conclusion that you’ll not want to miss.
