Although the 429-CI Cobra Jet and Super Cobra Jet V8 was an available option on the 1970 ½ Falcon, relatively-few examples left the factory as such. Up to 370 hp / 375 hp was on offer, with a few other upgrades and even a drag pack. But it was still a stripped-back model, and there wasn’t much to shout about on the design front, though the ram air scoop on the hood added a little attitude.
The render features similar coke bottle style to the original Falcon and retains its fundamental silhouette which is no bad thing. However, it sits lower with a new widebody design that adds new wheel arches, bumpers, rocker panels, and aero pieces. It’s easy to pick out the Falcon’s original features, like the pointed nose and the two-part front grille, now with a light bar.
Along with the muscle car’s aggressive aero kit that wraps around, the extended wheel arches, the rear wing, and double exhausts hint at the car’s newfound purpose as a racing machine.
How Much Does The 1970 ½ Ford Falcon 429 Cobra Jet Cost In 2023?
Check out the teal paint job on this muscle car with contrasting black trim on various panels including the hood. It incorporates an attractive speckled finish. The hood also includes the external intake trumpets for the engine, and there are eight, which is a homage to the Falcon's 429-CI Cobra Jet V8.
As the 1970 ½ Ford Falcons were available with the range of engines from the Torino and Fairlane, it offered the opportunity for buyers to spec their car (including the wagon and four-door sedan) with Cobra Jet power if they wanted, although few left the factory this way.
They are still relatively-affordable today though considering their rarity – sources vary but only around 42 Falcons had the Super Cobra Jet V8 option ticked.
Hagerty suggests that the 1970 ½ Ford Falcon 429 Cobra Jet 2-door sedan is worth about $19,300 on average. Surprisingly – or unsurprisingly given their rarity – Hagerty also suggests that the Super Cobra Jet version is worth a whopping $57,700.
