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


I am listing this for a friend and I am sure I have forgotten something important to you, so please ask any and all questions you feel necessary before bidding. Glad to answer them.  Please make sure I have enough time to get back with an answer before the auction ends.  Email me or give me a call at 520-296-7559.  I also have a lot more pictures available for your inspection.  You are more than welcome to come by for a up close and personal inspection or have your representative do one for you. Call to set up an appointment.

Winning bidder must make contact with in 3 days of auction ending and give a non-refundable deposit of $1000, no exceptions.   Unless other arrangement are made, the balance due must be paid within 7 days of the auction ending.   Full payment must have been received, and bank cleared, before the vehicle can be picked up or released to a shipper.

Ford Claims Focus As World's Best-Selling Car For Second Year In A Row

Mon, Jan 27 2014

Ford Motor Co. has claimed its Focus sedan beat out the Toyota Corolla for the title of 'best-selling car in the world' for the second year in a row. The declaration was based on independent sales figures from January to September of 2013, according to USA Today. Last year, Ford used data from the analysis firm Polk to support its claim of having the best-selling car of 2012. Toyota objected, stating the Corolla sold more units. The numbers eventually showed that the Ford Focus was the best selling nameplate of the year, but may have been second to the Toyota sedan overall since multiple variations of the Corolla are sold under different nameplates around the world. Data from the analysis firm R.L. Polk found Focus registrations from January through September 2013 reached 856,587. Ford can thank booming car sales in China, where the automaker sold 303,481 units, for a sizable chunk of that number, which was a 16 percent increase over 2012. "Our success with Focus is the result of Ford's connection to our customers all over the world," said Jim Farley, an executive vice president at Ford. The Focus and Corolla both compete in the popular small sedan segment, along with other hot-selling cars like the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra and Chevrolet Cruze. These vehicles make a up a large portion of sales for their respective automakers, as they tend to hit a sweet spot for many consumers, coming with a starting sticker price under $20,000, solid fuel economy, plenty of cargo and passenger room and, lately, sharp exterior design and sportier driving dynamics.

2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition says 'happy birthday' in New York

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Fifty years ago this week, Ford debuted the first-ever Mustang at the New York World's Fair. And to celebrate, the Blue Oval is offering up this special, 50th Anniversary Edition 2015 Mustang, which makes its debut at the New York Auto Show. It'll be a seriously limited affair, with only 1,964 examples of the special edition Mustang slated to be produced (the number chosen to coincide with the 'Stang's first year in production). But for those who raise their hands for the 50th Anniversary package, there's a pretty sweet package in store.
The 50th Anniversary Edition is based on the 2015 Mustang GT with the Performance Pack, and is only available in two colors: Kona Blue, or Wimbledon White (pictured). The car also comes fully loaded - the only option for buyers to choose is the transmission. Should you opt for the six-speed automatic, you'll get a limited-slip rear differential with a 3.55:1 final-drive ratio (the 50th Anniversary car is also the only way to get a slushbox-equipped 'Stang with the Performance Pack). Selecting the six-speed manual 'box will net you a Torsen differential with a 3.73:1 ratio. All 50th Anniversary cars will be powered by Ford's 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8, estimated to produce more than 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque in the 2015 Mustang.
Inside, there's a cashmere-stitched, leather-wrapped steering wheel, with a similar detail found on the instrument panel, shift boot, door inserts, seats, and center armrest. Two-tone leather/black upholstery is also part of the 50th Anniversary package, and of course, there's a special logo on the seats.
