1970 Ford Torino GT, 351C 4 barrel, 4 Speed!! All matching numbers!!!! The 351C is still all original and runs great!!! It is also a factory 4 barrel engine which is a little more rare!!! I have actually drove the car locally here, around the block etc...The 4 Speed is very slick and smooth with no problems at all!!!! Car is great shape overall!! Although the car does need minor work to be back road ready, including final touches over the brakes, some exhaust work, small patches on the front floor pans (VERY SMALL PATCHES, ONLY AT THE EDGE OF EACH SIDE NEAR THE ENTRY PLATES) and maybe a couple other little things here and there to get it to pass state inspection!?!? I just put new brakes on the front and new wheel cylinders front and rear last month, I just didn't finish adjusting everything completely!! The car has aftermaket exhaust including some type of glass pack mufflers and dual pipes...just believe it may have a leak here or there!? I was goin to put all new exhaust with twin flowmasters and dump them out behind the rear tires when I started working on the car but I just have too many projects and no time!! Of coarse if someone wanted a really nice car or even a show car this one would need more work!! I've only owned the car for about a year and a half...I had big plans for it since it was factory Cleveland 4 Speed!!! I was goin to restore the entire car from ground up, but like I said...I just have too much goin on, so honestly my loss is your gain!!! Id rather see it go to a good home instead of just sitting!!! I bought it from an elderly guy that has owned the car since the late 70's, he had to go into a nursing home due to illnesses!! He had the car painted and everything redone in 1995 but then had a heart attack later that year and the car had to sit out!! From there the car started to fade again and so on!! So the car is of coarse faded and in need of paint and body work, and also interior work!! As far as body work the car has a very small amount of rust in the lower rear quarter panels and maybe a little amount here and there around the lower portion of the other body panels!! Nothing serious enough to have to replace any body parts or panels!! The car other than that is very straight and very solid, absolutely no rust in the frame rails etc!!!! It will need a hood I believe...due to it being weak near the passenger hood hinge!! My plans were to put a shaker on it when I redone it!! The interior is in need of work also, both front bucket seats need recovered, needs a headliner, and new carpet!! Dash pad also has a few cracks in it!! All interior lights still work great along with the dash cluster lights etc!! All the glass in the car is complete and in very good shape!! Car is a hide away headlight car which is all still in contact, just not working due to someone having the vacuum lines unhooked!! Someone just opened the hide aways and left it as that! The Gt tail lights all work and are also in great shape!! Like I said the car is in really great shape and would only need a little love to be back a really hot muscle car cruising the strip!!! Especially being a 4 speed car!!!! When I bought the car I put a brand new battery in it, both new battery cables, new starter, new spark plugs and like I said earlier brakes and all new wheel cylinders!!! Would be a great low budget cruiser for someone or an awesome, solid start for a show car for someone wanting a little more than just a daily driver!!!! For any questions please feel free to give me a call anytime, my cell phone number is 1-540-430-3741, Thanks!!

How the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor became a reality
Wed, 01 May 2013The camouflaged Ford F-150 SVT Raptor prototype captured above blazing its way across the desert during a test run left company engineers giggling in amazement, reveals Jamal Hameedi in a new Autoweek video. Ford's global performance vehicle chief engineer, accompanied by senior exterior designer Bruce Williams, sat down with the publication to discuss the concept and development of the automaker's super off-road F-150.
Designing a high-performance pickup in 2008, right when the cost of gasoline was going through the roof, seemed insane at the time, but the team pushed forward with the innovative vehicle regardless. The interview includes plenty of Ford B-roll footage as visual candy, and the conversations include discussions about exterior design, ride comfort, anti-lock brake tuning, suspension engineering, weight reduction and why it was necessary to make the Raptor visually different than Ford's standard F-150. The model's origin story is very interesting, and you can learn more about it by watching the video below.
GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
Saleen SA-30 Mustang, Camaro and Challenger help celebrate the big 3-0
Fri, 22 Nov 2013After 30 years of tuning performance cars and building racecars, Saleen is celebrating its racing heritage with a limited-production car line called SA-30. Based on the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, Saleen will only build 10 of each SA-30 model at a base price of $95,000.
For that money, buyers will get upgraded suspension, brakes and engines, and while the power figures have not been released for the SA-30 620 Camaro and SA-30570 Challenger models, the SA-30 302 Mustang will be the top performer with 625 horsepower. Each car will be painted up in a custom pearl white hue with black and yellow accents, and get white wheels shrouding yellow powder-coated brake calipers. Inside, the SA-30 offerings will all get a proper Saleen interior with black leather and white Alcantara on the seats, along with the expected smattering of SA-30 badges.
On all three SA-30 models, customers will have various options available to further customize their cars, including a rear-seat delete option that transforms each car's cabin into a race-inspired interior with a chassis-strengthening rear cross brace. Perhaps the coolest feature of all, though, is the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass that is an option on the SA-30 302 Mustang. Similar to the Mercedes Sky Control roof first introduced on the Mercedes SLK, the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass allows the Mustang's optional glass roof and rear window to be switched from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.
