1970 Ford Torino 2-dr. Hardtop Bucket Seats Console Gt Hood Good Solid Roller!! on 2040-cars
Woodstock, Georgia, United States
You are looking at a 1970 Ford Torino Hardtop that is a very solid rolling project car. This car would make for a very simple re-power with your drivetrain from your rusty or wrecked donor car!
This car is done in Hot Rod Black with a White Interior currently, but originally was Q-code Medium Metallic Blue with a Blue Interior.
I bought this car specifically for the 428 Cobra Jet engine and transmission that were in it. Somewhere along the line a date coded 428CJ and CJ C6 found its way into this car and I had a Cobra Jet car in need of a dated drivetrain so I bought this car just to pirate the engine and trans out of. It is an original F-code 302-2V, C-4 automatic car, there is now a 9 inch Rear underneath with a Traction-Lok in it that works well. Before pulling the 428CJ out of this car I did a few launches and this thing layed down 2 legs like nobody's business!! At some point a previous owner put a complete and decent 71 Torino GT White Comfortweave Bucket Seat interior in the car including the Console and Floor Shift Steering column. It is a very decent 'driver' interior! The Hood from the GT car also managed to finds its way over to this car. Car has some rust in the front floors up near the toe board, but is not terrible and the rest of the underneath to include floors, frame rails, etc are very solid!! The hood, fenders, doors, 1/4's and decklid are also solid as well. The left quarter panel was replaced many years ago with a NEW Ford panel and the right 1/4 had a small metal repair done down at the very bottom of it. The trunk drops have a little bit of rust; but are not terrible. Car also has a little bit of rust in the engine bay near the wiper motor; it is minor but I felt it worth mentioning. Overall this is a pretty solid project car(See Pics)!! Prior to me removing the engine and trans this was a tagged insured driver not some sort of car that had been laying out in the pasture. This car was a driver and could be again with a minimum of time and investment. If you have a rusty or wrecked car that has a good drivetrain this car could be for you as it is a solid platform to your build on or if you are looking for a home for that motor you had built that is just sitting waiting for the right engine bay to be dropped into then look no further!!! This is a Solid car that with a reasonable price where someone could end up making themselves a cool hot rod driver for short money. I have pulled all of the speed equipment (MSD, Fuel Regulator, Shift Light, etc) and the Aluminum wheels off the car since these pics were taken and it is being sold with a set of roller wheels on it. If the winning bidder was interested I do have some wheel and tires available as extra cost either American Racing Outlaw Aluminum wheels or Magnum 500's. I also have some drivetrain options available should you be interested including a good running 5.0 Roller Motor and AOD. This car is a solid rolling project for someone who is looking to put a little sweat equity into a vehicle and end up having a have cool cruiser with a very limited investment. If you look at the sum of just the parts on this car; (i.e. Complete 9 inch Traction-Lok rear end, Complete GT interior with Bucket Seats, Floor console and Floor Shift Steering Column, Solid Original GT Scooped hood) the big ticket items are worth what the price of the whole car is. This car is a great entry level Hot Rod that won't break the bank!! Please look at the pictures and ask any questions BEFORE you bid!! I want you to be sure of what you are bidding on and for us both to be satisfied with the Torino's described condition and its sale. I expect a deposit within 24 hours of auctions end and balance of payment within 7 days of auction end. This 1970 Ford Torino is a 44+ year old project car and as such is being auctioned 'as-is where-is' and 'as-described' with no warranties either expressed or implied.

Lincoln MKC recalled because start button located too close to touchscreen [UPDATE]
Wed, Dec 31 2014UPDATE: Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker responded to our questions and let us know that the fix for the push-button start on the 2015 MKC has the switch moved to the top of the of the column of gear shift buttons instead of the bottom. Owners should be notified about both campaigns "toward the end of February." After massive campaigns from General Motors and to fix Takata airbag inflators, 2014 will undoubtedly go down as The Year Of The Recall. And with little time to spare, Ford is getting in just under the wire to adding two more to its yearly total. The larger of the campaigns is actually one of the most bizarre campaigns we've heard of all year. Lincoln is recalling 13,574 units of its 2015 MKC compact crossover in North America to move the location of the push-button ignition switch on the dashboard. According to the automaker's announcement: "Due to the switch's close proximity to other controls, occupants are inadvertently shutting off the engine while driving." The button is located near the bottom of the touchscreen, which can apparently make it possible to hit by mistake. Back when Autoblog first drove the new MKC in June, we came away very impressed, but noted: "... we're still not completely sold on the aforementioned pushbutton transmission selector ... it still seems somewhat gimmicky and it can't be operated by feel alone, as you might when shifting a traditional console-mounted lever from Park to Drive." According to Lincoln, there have been no reported accidents or injuries stemming from this button misapplication. Of the affected vehicles, there are 11,144 in the US, 2,033 in Canada and 397 in Mexico. To fix the problem, dealers are moving the button to a different location and reprogramming the powertrain control module. According to Automotive News, models built since September already have a different layout. The change was reportedly done to match the rest of the Lincoln lineup. The second recall covers 12,205 units of the 2014 Ford Escape (2015 model year pictured below) and 2015 Lincoln MKC in North America because of a problem with nickel plating on the fuel pump. The issue can cause the pump to seize, which can cause the crossovers not to start or stall while driving. The automaker is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this fault. Dealers are replacing the fuel deliver module to fix the situation. Of the affected vehicles, there are 9,038 in the US, 3,074 in Canada and 93 in Mexico.
Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.
Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive is a rock star, FedEx tests electric trucks
Thu, Oct 2 2014The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive is in a new music video for I Lived by OneRepublic. The band's singer, Ryan Tedder, has also been brought on as a brand ambassador for the German automaker. OneRepublic will also be performing the song at the Mercedes-Benz Media Night on the eve of the Paris Motor Show. No word if Mercedes plans to offer hordes of screaming teenage fans as an option package with the B-Class Electric Drive. See the video (the car shows up around the four-minute mark) or read more in the press release below. FedEx is testing converted electric delivery trucks with diesel range extenders. Looking to shrink its carbon footprint, the company has converted a handful of trucks as part of a pilot program. In addition to battery packs, each truck is equipped with diesel turbine generators (supplied by Ian Wright's company, Wrightspeed) to provide electricity when the battery is depleted. Because the diesel motors aren't powering the vehicle directly, they can continuously run at their most efficient speed, making the trucks about twice as efficient as those powered by traditional means. Read more at Wired. Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150 will be 5 to 20 percent more efficient, the company says. The fuel economy gains depend on the particular version of the truck, but the biggest improvement will likely come from the 3.5-liter V6 and the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6. Automotive News predicts the F-150 SFE to be rated at 21 mpg city/28 highway/23 combined, which are identical figures to the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. The result could be a noteworthy fuel economy battle between Ford and Ram trucks. Learn more at Automotive News. The US Department of Energy is providing $25 million in funding toward reducing the price of algal biofuels. The goal is to get the price of these renewable fuels below $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019, and less than $3 per gge by 2030. The money will fund projects to develop better algal cultures that produce biofuel and other useful bioproducts, and projects to boost biomass productivity. The DOE says it wants to help develop a "bioeconomy" that provides jobs, helps the environment and ensures energy security. Read more at Energy.gov. This content is hosted by a third party.
