Very nice 1970 Torino Cobra 429 Cobra Jet Fastback. This car is the J code ram air 429CJ. It has the dooe-r heads
and correct manifolds. The body is very nice with the best ford color ever of Calypso Coral. Car was painted 12-15
years ago but looks good. Most people are shocked when I tell them that. I think this car would place at most local
shows but not a trailer queen. There are small patches on the inside 1/4 drop-offs. It looks like it was in a
accident at one time as the passenger side drop off in the trunk is wrinkled but they must have put a whole 1/4 on
as there is no evidence of the 1/4 being cut. Inside is very nice. Chrome is very nice all the way around. Grill is
as close to perfect as could get. All gauges and lights work, even the seat belt light and the dome light when you
open the doors. Has the ribbon tach which also works. Dash is original with some minor blistering under the vinyl
but no cracks. This torino is fitted with a 3.50 traction-lok rear axle, stagger shocks, and 4 speed close ratio
transmission. This 70 cobra was originally a bench seat car but now has correct comfort weave torino bucket seats.
This CJ is now fitted with SCJ oil cooler, rim blow steering wheel, and rear window louvers. Over all this is a
very nice Torino with lots of options. Car runs and drives great. Would not be afraid to drive anywhere. This real
j code 429 CJ is priced well below other Cobras with 429's and shaker hoods. Would consider a cheaper 70-71 torino
as partial trade.

Ford readying Ranger-based Everest SUV?

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Way back in August, we showed you a Ford concept for the Australian market called the Everest. Now, we can show you that work on the new Ranger-based SUV is well under way.
At this stage, it's still quite clearly a mule (note the misalignment of the front and rear doors), wearing the Ranger's front end and the rump of Ford's overseas Territory crossover. The wheelbase is shorter than a Ranger, according to our spy photographers, which strikes us as somewhat odd for a more passenger-oriented vehicle. Disc brakes should be fitted at all four corners, while the new SUV, which will almost certainly wear the Everest name, should sport a new rear suspension.
In terms of looks, we're expecting the Everest Concept to inform the appearance of the production model. Naturally, there will also be some interior tweaks, particularly around the dashboard, which is covered in these photos.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.

2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
