1969 Ford Torino Gt Convertible, All Original, 351 Windsor V8, Matching Numbers on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
Offered for your consideration is this 1969 FORD TORINO GT CONVERTIBLE. This original car is an all numbers matching vehicle with only 87,XXX original miles. The engine is the 351 5.8L Windsor V8 with factory 4 barrel carb. This motor runs great, doesn't smoke, and starts right up with the first turn of the key (even cold). The three speed factory automatic transmission is in great shape and shifts perfectly. As seen in my photo's the paint is original and the body does need some work with having some rust and a couple of light dents. The interior is all original and in very nice shape having absolutely NO holes or rips. The dash is nice and all gauges work as they should and the hood mounted blinker indicators work too. The floor boards and trunks are completely solid and in original condition. The under carriage and frame are solid (scale is a little flaky). Does need a new soft top but the frame is in good shape.
The Torino had only 2 owners and was bought new here in Saint Louis at a Ford dealer in 1969 then traded in and resold in 1970 here in Saint Louis out of Barton Pontiac (the car has that dealer sticker still) and that owner has had it all that time (see pic's for title). This car is a joy to drive in it's current condition and mechanically sound. She really only need attention to her body to be perfect again!!! CALL JASON 314-771-8811 |

2015 Ford Mustang GT [w/video]
Fri, 19 Sep 2014At 50 years old, the object of fantasies, a tuner's dream, a movie star and more than nine million strong, it couldn't be truer to say that the Ford Mustang needs no introduction. This newest Mustang, however - making the biggest changes we've seen to the pony car since perhaps 1964.5 - is something Ford has been introducing all year.
We went on a Deep Dive, covered the way it looks when it was revealed, detailed the engine specs, got a ride in the EcoBoost and listened to the V8, got rolling footage and watched it do a standard-feature burnout.
The only thing left to do? Drive it. Having now done so for a few hours around Los Angeles, what we can tell you is to forget everything you know about the Mustang. This new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment.
Ford Mustang was almost 'Imported from Detroit'
Wed, Oct 7 2015The Ford Mustang achieved iconic status nearly the moment the sheet came off at the 1964 World's Fair. And if Henry Ford II wasn't getting divorced around that time, the pony car might have been called the Torino and been marketed as 'Imported from Detroit,' according to Automotive News. We'll explain. During research for the new book Once in a Great City: A Detroit Story, author David Maraniss found an interesting connection between Chrysler's (now FCA US) slogan and the Ford Mustang. Before the pony car even had a name, the Blue Oval's advertising agency had the idea to market it as a "brand new import ... from Detroit," according to Automotive News. The vehicle would be sold as "inspired by Italy's great road cars, but straight from Detroit." The name Torino was suggested, as well. However, the real world interfered in making the Mustang Detroit's first import. According to the author, Henry Ford II was getting a divorce, and his future wife was Italian. It was therefore thought to be a bad idea to sell the future pony car as being from Italy. Things clearly changed by the time the Torino hit the streets years later. Related Video:
First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?
Thu, 18 Jul 2013A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.
