In a quiet corner of Fresno, there’s a shop that would make any car enthusiast’s heart skip a beat. You might call it the “Super Secret Fresno Ford Collection.” This collection is a love letter to the golden era of American muscle, filled with legends of the road that roared their way into automotive history.
Owned by an anonymous collector, this extraordinary assembly includes some of the rarest and most iconic Ford muscle cars from the 1960s and 70s. Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on four standout vehicles from this incredible collection: the 1970 Torino Cobra Jet, the 1970 Torino Super Cobra Jet, the 1969 Mustang Boss 429, and the 1969 Boss 302. The story of the 1970 Torino Cobra Jet is as rich and compelling as the car itself.
Ordered brand new in November 1969, this car was the dream ride of its original owner. With a 429 Cobra Jet engine cranking out 370 horsepower, it wasn’t just a car; it was a rocket on wheels. This baby came fully loaded — air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, automatic transmission, console, and bucket seats.
It was the Swiss Army knife of muscle cars, ready to tackle the streets with style and power. Our anonymous collector drove this beast for 100,000 miles, making memories at every turn. From racing down local streets as a kid to using it as a family car, this Torino was more than just metal and paint — it was part of the family.
There was even a moment when the collector almost traded it in for a measly $1,300 t.
