1970 Ford Torino Gt 351 Cleveland 4 Bll on 2040-cars
New Baden, Illinois, United States
|
This 1970 torino GT was a theift recovery from a chop shop in new york years ago and it has a replacement vin so we have no idea what it started life as, however it has a really good running 351 cleveland 4 bll motor with a nasty cam, real nice headers and a bit of a stahl converter, an a firm shifting c6 auto and a low gear posi rear, and power disk brakes up front. I think it is like 4.30 or something. I drove this car before it was taken apart for restoration , and it will burn the tires at will. Very good brakes and the front end is tight. Full set of magnum 500s with rings and caps. I am a mopar guy with no idea about these fords. My younger brother and his friend bought this car with intentions of restoring it , then they moved out of state and sold it to me, as I had one like this as a kid and I have the ability to restore cars. My wife saw this car and said no way. I had already paid for it so It is now for sale. The buy it now is what I paid for it. The engine alone is worth that. I build torque converters and this one Is nice. The car has had rust in all of the usual places but the floor pans have patch panels have been replaced, as was the drivers lower quarter. Frame rails are good except drivers rear just before the bumper and the drip rail around the trunk is rotten as well as the tail panel needs replaced. Some small holes here and there in trunk floor and previous repairs on floor pan. top, doors and finders are very nice. It has a near perfect gril and nice bumpers. Trunk spoiler, honeycomb tail light panel and a real nice GT hood. The only parts missing are the windshield , and the rear seats. The front bench needs recovered. This is a real cool car that needs to be put back on the road. The original color was dark green. I can deliver in an inclosed trailer for a fee. Comes with new black carpet and headliner . Thanks Chris 314-359-9600

Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Ford unveils its facelifted Falcon finale with new XR8
Thu, 24 Jul 2014While its days may be numbered, Ford isn't just going to let its Falcon sedan limp out for the Australian market. No, the Blue Oval is releasing a refreshed Falcon for its final years, and it's lead by this, the new XR8. That's right, this dead-car-driving is going to go out on a high note.
Ford's global design DNA dominates the looks of the new Falcon, with a grille reminiscent of the US market Fusion and the European-market Mondeo. The headlights aren't a straight port, and boast their own unique LED running light pattern (at least on the XR8), but the overall look is strikingly similar. Out back, LED taillights highlight the rear of the Faclon. Despite the substantial new fascia, this is still a mid-cycle refresh. That means most of the rest of the Falcon's body panels are carryovers from the current model.
The XR8 model, shown above, arrives with a supercharged V8, allegedly displacing 5.0 liters. Unfortunately, details on the Falcon's mechanicals are in remarkably short supply. Ford has committed to a range of turbocharged four, as well as turbocharged and naturally aspirated six-cylinders, in addition to the V8, although specifics on those mills aren't available.
