Featured are two VERY rare cars. The first, a 1970 Ford Torino Super Cobra Jet. What a monster. This was the first year of the 429 Cobra Jet in the Torino and it had built upon the legacy left by the 428. It might be heavy (over 4000lbs), but it can move! At least with that weight it can get some traction... I'd love to locate one of these cars and buy it, but that SCJ/Drag Pak is almost impossible to find!.. and not to mention, just a little out of my price range. It's hard to believe, but its opponent is even MORE RARE. To the tune of essentially a 1 of 1 1973 Pontiac Firebird Formula SD455. Yes... a SD455 in a Formula. This is even more rare than a Trans Am with the SD455. I believe this was even the quickest car of 1973, and it doesn't let us down now either! What a great car. The second gen Firebird has really grown on me the last few years. I might try to buy one of those as well! I mean, if I was a billionaire. Thanks for watching! Both of these cars participate in the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race series, so make sure you review their rules (listed below) and follow them on Facebook!
