There has recently been a 4spd scj rag on ebay with a bin of 195k. It's yellow with 3.91, hideaways and no ram air. Very nice resto.

'70 Torino Convertible 429 SCJ Drag Pack auction ended on 21 Nov. with the threat of "if it doesn't sell here I'll take it to BJ or R&S - I haven't decided yet! Looks like a nice resto on a very rare car. Not a Ford guy, I see air cleaner has "Cobra Jet" decal. Is it a Super Cobra Jet with the Drag Pack option (i.e. external oil cooler, more aggressive gears, tuffer bottom end, etc.) ?

Top of the line on this model was the Cobra Jet 429 Ram-Air(Shaker-Hood) with Drag pack( with all the engine goodies ,391/430 traction lock, etc.)
A buddy of mine ran one and it could run with the best---I think the SCJ --was a special Ford concept with a Daytona type nose--I think a couple were made????...Don't quote me on this though..

OK you knowledgable Ford guys, you prompted me to ask a question.....

I recently ran across a 70 Torino for sale parked near the edge of a field (yeah, I sort of live in a country setting).

It had one of those "best offer, no info" kind of signs in the window (don't you just hate that?) which immediately makes me not want to call......

Anyways, from my quick glance the car appeared to be nothing too exciting: faded gold-beige sort of paint with no stripes (looked liked possibly original paint), automatic, ratty interior, 351 emblems on the fenders. What peaked my curiosity was the fact it had a shaker hood (if that is Ford-correct terminology, I'm used to my Cuda's) but didn't have the scoop sticking out of it, just some sort of mesh screen over the opening....

So my question is - should I go check this car out again and get more details? Could this be a significant worthwhile project for somebody (not me, I'm trying to finish several of my current cars) if I were to pick it up for a song? Is there anything specific I should look for if any of you guys are interested?

Thoughts?? Charlie

Get the Vin and contact Kevin Marti . He'll give you all the info you could want on this car.

[JoeG]

I looked thru a couple of books and it does seem Ford named the '70 Torino with the 429 CJ,drag pack and shaker hood etc the 429 SCJ.....
I really thought there were a few Super CJ with that Daytona type nose....If I come across a photo I'll put it up..........

My wifes uncle stopped by this afternoon with his 70 Torino GT with the org 302 drivetrain in it. Hes the org owner of the car and knows where a theres a drag pak car as well.

My '70 429 Cobra - First car I had that electrically unlocked the seat backs when you opened the door -
not ever reading the manual it took me a while to figure out what that noise was!
