Attention all Miners, 419'ers, Astronauts on their way to the International Space Station, SEAL Team Six Members,
and Oil Platform Workers. I'd like to accommodate your needs however the timeframe to complete the sale is clear

Don't you love the stories, or how many guys were SEAL's?!?!? I don't know we had so many!!!... Lol
The 1970 Torino was designed by Bill Schenk. His design was inspired by the supersonic aircrafts of the day that
were designed and built with a narrow waist and bulging forward and rear fuselage that was needed to reach
supersonic speeds.
This 1970 Torino is a numbers matching vehicle with the original 351 Cleveland. The VIN, Fender Tag, and Engine
Block all uniform and matching.
Yes, you are looking at THE original engine. Ask any car guy what it takes (labor hours and money) to make a
nearly half century old original engine compartment look like that... Not only does it look pretty, but it's
basically a new engine. The engine was broken down piece by piece and put back together better than it was on the
day it was delivered from Cleveland. The Cleveland was the upgrade to the 351 Windsor.
When you turn the key it sounds amazing! The dual exhaust sounds AWESOME! It has a deep, but not an obnoxious
rumble.
As far as the body is concerned... It's straighter now than in the day it was sold in 1970-71. Experienced car
guys will tell you that when these rolled down the assembly line there wasn't time for them to line up every panel
perfect, so gaps and misalignments were common. The time was taken to correct those gaps, and Steele Rubber

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.
Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]
Mon, 20 May 2013Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.
