Mark Schiffner's 1970 Ford Torino

Image
  Mark Schiffner is the owner and driver of this beautiful 1970 Ford Torino Cobra. Since Mark was a young boy he had an interest in engines & horsepower, thanks his Grandfather. When he was just a junior in high-school, he built a big-block Ford 460, but he needed a body to place it in. Mark was lucky enough to get a killer deal on this Torino for only $650.00.          ​ Mark has raced other types of vehicles in the past such as snowmobiles and won Super Pro and motorcycle classes at his local track on a Mach Z Ski-Doo in 2006 but Mark said this was the first car he ever raced. ​   The Torino was built originally as a 429 Thunder-Jet N-Code  automatic transmission car. It now features state-of-the-art parts his  high-school self could only dream of. Mark built the engine, starting  off with the bottom end, the rotating assembly stretches the big-block  to the tune of 545 cubic inches ! ​The fuel is squeezed...
