There's no single answer to how much horsepower a 1970s Ford had. Ford produced many models (Mustang, Pinto, Torino, F-Series trucks, etc.) in the 1970s, each with a wide variety of engine options. Horsepower varied dramatically depending on the model, engine size, and even the year within the decade. A small Pinto engine might have had around 60-80 horsepower, while a large V8 in a Ford LTD could have produced over 200 horsepower (though horsepower ratings were generally lower in the early 1970s due to changes in testing standards).
To get a specific horsepower figure, you need to specify:
* The exact model of the Ford: (e.g., Mustang Mach 1, F-100 pickup, LTD)
* The year: (e.g., 1972, 1978)
* The engine size and type: (e.g., 302 cubic inch V8, 250 cubic inch inline 6)
With that information, you can then consult resources like a Ford owner's manual for that specific vehicle or online automotive databases to find the horsepower rating.
