Here is a very nice, mostly original 4-seater convertible. The paint has been redone in the same original red and looks great. This car runs and drives like new. Always starts right up and cruises down the road with a smooth shifting, 3 speed automatic transmission mated to an original 390 cubic inch V-8 rated at 300hp. Its a real pleasure to drive. The wheels are the original chrome wires and in nice condition. There are no rips or tears in the upholstery and the power driver's seat works. I have rebuilt the carb (4 barrel), replaced the turn signal switches, water pump, heater core, master cylinder, replaced many front end parts, done an alignment, replaced the tires and the battery. The A/C parts are all there but it doesn't blow cold and the clock doesn't work. The car is stored in heated storage in the winter and only driven on nice days in the summer. This was a car that I always wanted and now I've had my fun with it for the last 3 years and I'm ready to move on to the next car on the bucket list. The buyer of this car will get a nice, clean, great running car to enjoy for lots of miles. A couple of the pictures of the car were taken in Florida where I bought the car, the rest of them were taken here in Traverse City.

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.
