The Ford Mustang Mach 1 wasn’t the only “Drag Pack" variant the automaker sold in 1970. Its other muscle car of the era, the Torino, also came in the spec. The latter’s Coke bottle-style body wasn’t the only thing that separated it from the more famous Mach One. It’s Super Cobra Jet engine, a 429-cubic-inch big-block V-8, had a smidge more displacement. Thanks to that, the mill put out a claimed 375 horses, although enthusiasts believe Ford undersold the model and that the true figure was closer to 400 hp. Whatever its actual output, the most hardcore Torino was an undeniable beast, able to cover the quarter mile in under 14 seconds at a top speed of 101 mph. Not bad at all.
