When listing this car previously, I left out a fiberglass console that I had purchased from Dearborn several years ago, but have not yet installed. It is pictured here and will be included with the car. While I have owned several classic cars since my retirement, I upgrade and keep most of them. I do, however, have space limitations which require me to let go of one occasionally. This vehicle has always been stored inside and driven in the summer months to cruise-ins for a total of 3,375 miles in the 10 years I have owned it. Some minor body work and new paint will make this a nice show car. I have done my best to show and describe where body work is needed with the photos. Both rear wheel wells are showing rust where the stainless trim is mounted. The passenger door has bondo cracking where it had been repaired before I bought the car. The following is a list of new items and/or modifications which I have made in the past 10 years: New tail pipes and chrome tips New inside rear view mirror New gauges in dash New tachometor in dash New dome lamp body New wheel opening moldings New power steering valve, left and right outer tie rod ends, idler arm, front end alighment and new tires New door arm rests, both right and left New carpeting New color matched floor mats with Torino logo Installed new Edlebrock 4-barrell manifold and new Holley 600 cfm carburator New tail light lenses New hood lip molding New kick panels New parking light lenses New starter New windshileld wiper pump New power steering hoses Removed automatic transmission and installed Ford toploader 4-speed transmission New flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, Torino pedals, rods, z-brackets and clutch arm Installed new Hurst shifter and new drive shaft Replaced old rear end with 350 positive traction rear end Installed new brake shoes and hoses New coil New Malory Unilite distributor New Fuel Pump New radiator hose set New belts New Griffin aluminum radiator New front and reat Motorcraft gas shocks New Flowmaster mufflers New motor mounts |

Ford Fiesta ST GRC Racecar is hungry for podiums in 2013
Thu, 07 Feb 2013As we reported earlier, the Chicago showing of this plucky Ford Fiesta ST GRC racer points to bigger and brighter days for Global RallyCross. For the upcoming season, you can expect to see Ken Block and Tanner Foust both driving the Ford racecar, and if last season's results are any indication, you can anticipate quite a few podium appearances, as well.
The Fiesta seen here was built by the Swedes at OlsbergsMSE, and will be driven in anger by Foust in 2013. Modifications are, as you'd expect, extensive, and include an engine, exhaust and braking upgrades, a racing style short-throw shifter and a limited-slip differential. As you can see, the car has been fully stripped out and caged for maximum speed and safety, too.
Refresh your memories with the details of the car, in the press releases below. And if you head out to the Chicago Auto Show this year, don't forget to drop by the Ford stand to have a look.
Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values
Tue, 18 Mar 2014We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.
Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70
Sun, 20 Jul 2014We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.
