‘1969 Ford Torino ‘Richard Petty’ Edition finished in Petty Blue over Blue vinyl interior. This is an extremely rare and special car, 1 of ONLY 5 ever produced. In 1969 Ford held a sweepstakes in which the winners would receive one of these 428 Cobra Jet Torinos, delivered to their doorstep by Richard Petty himself! Approximately 200 of these promotional Torinos were built but only five were optioned with the 428 Cobra Jet V8, this car is one of those five! The other 195 were built with the smaller 351 engine and were available at Ford dealerships across the country. It’s believed that Richard Petty now owns two of the five 428 cars. These cars all came with a blank code on the data plate as you will see on this car.’
