1969 TORINO GT FASTBACK
THIS IS A VERY CLEAN ONE OWNER ORIGINAL SURVIVOR! IT HAS BEEN IN THE FAMILY SINCE NEW! MY STEP MOTHER'S FATHER BOUGHT IT FOR HER WHEN SHE GRADUATED COLLEGE. THE ENGINE, TRANS, REAREND, AND BODY PANELS ARE ALL ORIGINAL. 98% OF THE PAINT AND 100% OF THE INTERIOR IS ORININAL!
MY FATHER MAINTAINED THIS CAR RELIGOUSLY AND IT WAS STORED INSIDE ALMOST ITS WHOLE EXISTANCE UNTIL RECENTLY (I JUST DON'T HAVE THE ROOM). THE INTERIOR IS IN REMARKABLE CONDITION BECAUSE OF NOT BEING IN THE SUN. NO CRACKS IN THE DASH, CARPET AND SEATS GOOD, AND ONLY ONE SMALL REPAIR IN THE HEADLINER BY THE SUN VISOR.
EXCEPT FOR REGULAR UPKEEP (BELTS,HOSES, MUFFLER, TIRES ETC.) THE ONLY ENGINE WORK I KNOW OF WAS THE TIMING GEARS WERE REPLACED SOMETIME IN THE 70'S.
ALSO SOMETIME IN THE 70'S THE CAR GOT SOME DAMAGE ON THE L.REAR QUARTER PANEL WHILE IN A PARKING LOT. THE PANEL WAS NOT BAD ENOUGH TO REPLACE, JUST NEEDED BODY WORK (WHICH WASN'T PERFECT). IN THE 80'S I HELPED MY DAD TAKE THE FENDERS OFF AND REPAIR SOME RUST THAT WAS STARTING ON THE LOWER REAR OF THE FENDERS. THOSE ARE THE ONLY BODY REPAIRS I KNOW OF. THE FLOORS ARE SOLID (JUST SURFACE RUST). MOST ALL THE REST OF THE PAINT AND DECALS ARE ORIGINAL.
MY PARENTS LAST TAGGED THE CAR IN 1995 AND IT WAS STORED IN AN ENCLOSED CARPORT UNTIL I RECIEVED IT IN 2008. THE BRAKES WERE LOCKED UP AND THE TIRES WERE DRY ROTTED AND THE GAS WAS BAD. AT THAT TIME I REPLACED THE WHEEL CYLINDERS, PUT GOOD GAS IN IT AND BOUGHT NEW COOPER TIRES. I THEN PARKED IT IN MY GARAGE UNTIL A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I AGAIN HAD TO FLUSH THE TANK, THEN REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, AND REBUILD THE CARB. IT NOW RUNS AND DRIVES AS GREAT AS I REMEMBERED YEARS AGO.
THIS CAR ONLY HAS 90,785 ACTUAL MILES ON IT AND IT IS A SHAME IT ISN'T DRIVEN REGULARLY. AFTER ALOT OF THOUGHT I'VE DESIDED TO SELL THE CAR.
YOU CAN FLY IN AND DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY OR I CAN DELIVER IT IN THE U.S. FOR $1.50 A LOADED MILE (ONE WAY).
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL MIKE @ 479-238-1122 OR 479-228-4304. PLEASE DO NOT HIT THE "BUY IT NOW" UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS TO PAY AND CALL ME FIRST! I FIND THAT SERIOUS BUYER'S WILL ALMOST ALWAYS CALL. THANKS, MIKE

eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history
Sat, 03 May 2014You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
Ford promises 12 new global performance vehicles through 2020
Thu, Dec 11 2014Ford just keeps rolling out the big announcements today. We've already told you about the next-gen Focus RS coming to the US and the upcoming Sync 3 infotainment system. And this latest one should perk up the ears of racing fans or anyone who enjoys an enthusiastic drive (basically, all Autoblog readers). The Blue Oval says it has "more than 12" new performance vehicles on the way globally through 2020. Unfortunately, the only one that the automaker confirms at the moment is the Focus RS, but recent rumors might suggest a few others. Ford reportedly has the Shelby Mustang GT350R, next-gen F-150 Raptor and a Ford GT successor all on the way, all of which could possibly debut at the Detroit Auto Show in January. The future GT might even take the company back to racing at Le Mans. Speaking of motorsports, Ford is also blending its performance vehicle and racing efforts worldwide into a unified entity by combining SVT, Team RS and Ford Racing into a new organization called Ford Performance. It's responsible not just for excelling on the track but also for developing aero improvements, electronics, powertrain and lightweight tech for the Blue Oval's vehicles. "Our new global Ford Performance team ties together racing, performance vehicles and parts. It will allow us to more quickly introduce products and accessories that meet the needs of customers around the world on-road and on the track," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development, in the company's press release. The automaker thinks this market might be booming, especially among younger buyers. For example, recent data shows Millennials buy ST models at twice the rate of the rest of Ford's cars. Scroll down to read the Blue Oval's full announcement of the new division and the plan to get excited about things to come. FORD DRIVING PERFORMANCE INNOVATION TO NEW LEVELS; MORE THAN 12 VEHICLES COMING FROM NEW GLOBAL TEAM Ford bringing more global performance vehicles to customers worldwide; more than 12 new performance vehicles through 2020 – including Focus RS – to be available globally Ford uniting regional performance engineering and racing teams as one global team under Ford Performance, delivering more new vehicles and parts, more quickly Ford will deliver more than 12 new performance vehicles for global enthusiasts through 2020, as the company announced today its new global Ford Performance team.
