1968 Ford Torino GT, North Carolina car.......

The car is complete with the follwong exceptions: Hood lip molding, trim rings. Car has rollers on it and the correct 4 steel wheels are in the trunk.

The 302 engine does run and sounds OK, no knocks, pings or smoke. As far as the transmission is concerned, its a 3 speed manual that was on the column but has moved to the floor, she goes into all 4 gears with ease. The brakes are bad and the tires are dry rotted. The exhaust is intact and goes out all the way to the rear bumper. There is not a power steering belt on the car but the power steering system is complete. The electrical has some gremlins, lights work, brake lights work, marker lights and etc, all there but needs gone over.... I also have a column that was for a 4 speed that I will give with the car, that way you only have the floor shifter.

The interior is complete, back seats are not torn, rear package tray ok, needs headliner, all door panels are ok except the drivers which has a small tear but the door lock knob, carpet worn, dash pad is straight and free of cracks. Front bench is torn but cushion is not exposed. All seat belts are on car and back are still in plastic.

All trim is on the car and in need of polishing/re-chroming, the bumper are straight but do need re-chromed. All the glass is Ok with the exception of the windshield but a used OEM one goes with the car. All the weather stripping is shot.

Body is in need of paint, hood is shot, fenders are rust free except for light scale..no holes, outside of the doors have a few small bubbles appearing on the outside but there are no holes showing on the outside, the drivers door has a hole in the bottom corner but can be repaired and should be as the bottom of the door is ok. The trunk lid has one spot on the out side but is definitely repairable as the underneath is ok. The quarters do not show any rot and the lips are ok, but there are signs of old body work to the pass quarter from inside the trunk, old school rivets can be seen near the wheel well.  Roof is ok. The tail light panel is ok.

The underneath, both front torque boxes will need work, the passenger side being the worse.  The floor pans and rails are ok with scale no holes. The front section of the car around near the core/radiator support will need repair. Battery tray is gone but the apron does not have a whole through it. Cowl looks ok.....Trunk section has a few holes starting to appear on the upper section but no major rot, spring hangers are solid as well as the rails.

This is a 45 year old car that has had prior body work and has been sitting, please keep that in mind when bidding. I encourage you to come a see the car and to check all the pics I have at flickr.com then type in jkupka search under people. Ebay changed their rules and I can no longer provide the link. 

If you need any more pics let me know and any questions answered I will do my best. I'm human and do miss things but have done as much as I can to describe what I see. I will provide my telephone number if asked thru ebay ask the seller.

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.

Ford F-100 'Snakebit' shown off by Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed at SEMA

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Ford, along with KISS bassist Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed, used SEMA as a backdrop to pull the covers off Snakebit, a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck that's been updated with Shelby Mustang-derived styling bits and a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. All 550 horsepower are funneled through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels.
Underneath the custom bodywork sits a chassis that's been stretched five inches and a bed widened and bedecked with billet machined pieces that are supposed to look like wood. The 20-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels ape those of past Shelby Mustang models. The interior is swathed in two-tone leather with a bench seat designed to look - try to act surprised - like a Shelby Mustang.
Like what you see? Bidding for the truck will take place in 2014 at an unspecified Barrett-Jackson event (we'd assume Scottsdale). Proceeds will be used to help build a children's hospital in Saskatoon, in the province of Saskatchewan, where Ms. Tweed grew up. See the high-res gallery above and the press release down below for more.

2015 Ford C-Max gets a corporate nose job [w/video]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Ford might not have the splashiest booth here at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, but the automaker is showing off quite a bit of hardware that will actually end up on roads across Europe. Parisians are no doubt tickled at getting to see the specifications of the Mustang tuned for The Continent (which has a revised suspension for European roads, and a few visual nips and tucks), in addition to the revised face of the family-friendly C-Max.
As you can see, C-Max styling has been revisited with a deft touch, grafting Ford's six-sided corporate grille on the nose, in place of the outgoing car's two-part affair. New headlights can also be found on the car's revised front fascia, though the rear end of the C-Max looks only slightly different than the current version.
Inside the cabin, Ford has consolidated controls and upped the ante in terms of material quality, with "black satin" and chrome details and more storage capacity, overall. Grocery-lugging moms and dads everywhere should appreciate the hands-free liftgate feature, as well.
