Rarest Ford Muscle Car Produced In The '70s

Ford’s rarest muscle car of the 1970s, according to production records reviewed by HotCars, is the 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra. The model was created specifically to compete with Mopar in NASCAR, but only three units were ever produced before the program was canceled. The article notes that in 1970 NASCAR homologation rules required one road-going version of a competition car to be built for every two dealerships in the U.S. Had the King Cobra entered full production, it would still have been rare, but the article emphasizes the extreme scarcity of the actual run.
