Factory-Documented Performance
At the heart of this Torino is its original 351 Cleveland 4V V8 engine, paired with the original four-speed wide-ratio manual transmission. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through the factory 3.50:1 Traction-Lok limited-slip rear axle.
This combination represents one of the most desirable factory performance configurations available in the 1971 Torino lineup, delivering the aggressive power, sound, and driving experience enthusiasts associate with the legendary Cobra name.
Originality and Documentation
What truly sets this Torino apart is its exceptional originality. The vehicle retains its original factory drivetrain, interior, exterior configuration, and equipment.
Accompanying the car is an Elite Marti Report from Marti Auto Works, along with a partial original window sticker and original factory warranty plate. These valuable pieces of documentation provide additional confirmation of the vehicle's original specifications and production history.
For collectors, finding a genuine Torino Cobra with its original equipment and supporting factory documentation is becoming increasingly difficult.

Hello and welcome to LRA AUTO SALES. We purchased a Chevrolet Dealership almost three years ago and turned it into a Quality Pre-Owned Auto Superstore and Muscle & Classic Car Museum.
I named it LRA Enterprises Auto Museum and Auto Sales which encompasses my two son’s initials and mine. I wanted it to become a family oriented place where parents could take their sons & daughters to and show them what cars use to be like in their era and where they can purchase a car of their era. Where a husband and wife could bring their children to and link the gap of automotive history from present back to the past.
We pride ourselves in displaying some of automotive history’s greatest and most rarest cars ever built. Where names such as Corvette, Super Sport, BOSS 429, MOPAR and HEMI are common place. We are also strong in the racing heritage and names such as Lingenfelter and Ray Barton, Richard Petty and Bobby Allison are legends and at LRA we’ll make sure those legends will never die.
We offer a “one stop shop” kind of atmosphere and offer all aspects of sales, service, auto body and collision and towing. We encompass a full array of Cars and Trucks for sale from the 1950’s up to current day. We also have a Speed Shop on site, offering everything from wheels to accessories and even dyno runs for measuring horsepower.
We are located at 3114 Veterans Highway / Route 413 in Bristol PA and provide quality pre-owned cars and quality pre-owned trucks to all the surrounding areas of Bristol.
For customized driving directions, contact us today at: 215-781-3790.
