Being offered up for your consideration is a 1968 Ford Torino GT, 2dr Formal Hardtop. According to the original door tag, this car came with the rare 390ci 2v, C6 automatic transmission, was medium aqua metallic, light aqua vinyl interior, built May 28th in Atlanta, GA, has 2:75 tail gears and was sent to Los Angles. The third and forth numbers in the vin, 44, stand for 2dr formal hardtop with bucket seats. As you can see in my pictures it has a bench seat. Unknown what happened with the bucket seats. The fifth letter, Y, is the code for the 390ci V8 with a 2v carburetor. The title does match the door tag making this a very rare 68 Torino. This Torino also came equipped with power brakes and rare factory AC.

This car is an unfinished project that needs to be completed. A lot of time and dollars have already been put into this car. The 390 was missing so it was replaced with a very strong rebuilt 351C and C6 automatic trans. The Torino does run and drive but should be trailered to its new home. All 4 tires are new. The seats, carpet and headliner are new along with a set of uninstalled door panels. The paint is really nice but not perfect. It will need some touch up after the car has been completed. This is a solid southern California / Arizona car and I wish I could tell you that all the parts needed to finish this car come with it, they don't. It is missing several trim items that you will need to find. I tried to picture most of them. One GT center cap also is dented.

This car is being sold "AS IS" with no warrantee expressed or implied

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

Ford profiles surprisingly affluent Focus ST buyers

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

It comes as no surprise when Ford says that 32-percent of Focus ST buyers are under 35, but we weren't expecting this: the average annual salary of Focus ST buyers is $127,000. Twenty-two percent of non-ST Focus buyers are under 35, while their average annual salary is $67,000.
We like the Focus ST because it has 252 horsepower, is genuinely fun to drive and offers great value for performance-minded car enthusiasts; facts that are not lost on customers, it seems. Ford says that the Focus ST has the highest percentage of conquest sales for a non-hybrid model it sells, and that the top-four trade-ins are from Honda, Chevrolet, Mazda and Toyota. Demand for the hot Focus is strongest in Los Angeles, Detroit, Houston and Orlando.
"[The Focus ST is] having this kind of halo effect for other vehicles we'd hoped for when we invested in the ST brand," says John Felice, vice president of US marketing, sales and service, because it's helping to boost sales of other Ford vehicles.

US Ford Focus RS to be imported from Europe

Tue, 21 Oct 2014

Rumors about the forthcoming Ford Focus RS are flourishing into what sounds like a very impressive new hot hatch. The latest scuttlebutt gives the first indication about when we might see a few of these fast Focuses on roads here in the US.
Unnamed insiders reportedly confirmed to The Truth About Cars that Ford plans to launch the Focus RS in the US in 2016. However, getting one might not be so easy - the boosted powertrain means the car would likely need to be imported from Europe. That's likely going to keep the total number available in the US rather low. The sources estimate a price tag that's a bit more expensive than the top Focus ST3, which starts around $28,500, plus $825 destination.
It seems that a pretty potent package comes for all of that cash, though. The Focus RS reportedly uses a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making between 325 and 350 horsepower, with a torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system to get that muscle to the road. The test mules also wear more aggressive front and rear fascias, dual exhaust tips, larger brakes and sticky tires. It sounds like a great formula on top of the already enjoyable Focus ST.
