Up for sale is this original 1970 Torino 429 Super Cobra Jet with a 4 speed. I have known about this car since 1985 as I tried to buy it back then, but the owner wasn't interested in selling it back then. Finally after 29 years later, I just got it bought. It has been sitting outside for around 35 years.This Torino was sold new in Cedar Rapids Iowa as you can see on the Marti Report that is attached. The 2nd owner, who I just bought from his wife, bought it on August 31, 1973, and it had 17,329 miles on it then. I remember talking to him in 1985 and he said he drove it until 1978 and he was in an accident in Cedar Rapids Iowa, where he was working, so he quit driving it then , with intentions to fix it up someday, but that never happened. The miles are actual and the odometer reads 36,676. It is hit hard in the right front and right rear corners. The body is real real rough. The floor boards are rusted in the front below the cowl area, along with the rear quarters are both rusted through at the bottoms. it is equipped as the Marti report indicates: 1970 year, built in Atlanta, Torino GT, Med Blue, Black Knitted vinyl seats, 429 super cobra jet, c code so its not a shaker car, 4 speed close ratio transmission with hurst shifter, factory drag pack, 4.30 Detroit Locker locking rear axle, clock, light group, rim blow steering wheel, power front disc brakes, power steering, rear defroster, am radio, hideaway headlights,and rear seat speakers. There were 125 of these made. As far as the numbers stamped on engine drivetrain etc: engine blocl DOVE, both heads DOOE R, Intake manifold DOOE 9425 D, carb in not original stamped parts list 3310-1 0-1 93, Radiator C9AE F1, fan blade is not original, Distributor DOOF 12127 AA Autolite, Exhaust maniflods DOOE 9430 A and DOOE 9431 A, Trans C8ar 7006 D, Rear diff date coded 9K23, waterpump DOOE-a, Alternater DOZF 10300 A 55 amp, steering gear SMA-B  9L11B,and ps pully DOOR-A. So it looks like everythnig is original except carb and fan blade. It looks like the starter is original. not sure if the motor is stuck, but i bet it has to be. There arwe no external cracks that are visible in the block, and all the frost plugs are still in the block. There 2 Ford 7 inch wide wheels on the rear. The drag pack brackets abd cooler are still installed, along with the original hoses. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Mike on my cell at 319-430-1592. Good Luck

Ken Block's 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR and CR Supercars Villain are retro done right

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Gymkhana king Ken Block has had a pretty simple car history in his trademark videos, starting out with Subaru Impreza rally cars before moving into Ford Focus racers for the past four installments. His next video, though, Gymkhana Seven, kind of goes back in time.
Rather than the cutting-edge rally racers of past videos, Block will pilot a heavily modified 1965 Ford Mustang, called the Hoonicorn. How heavily modified is it? Well, Block's Hooligan Racing Division, ASD Motorsports and Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR, spent two years working on it, ditching the standard engine and rear-wheel-drive layout and replacing it with a 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8. Yes, that's a NASCAR engine, and it produces 845 horsepower.
A NASCAR-powered Mustang would be news in itself, but it's the other powertrain changes made by Block and Co. that really makes headlines. Power is channeled through a one-off Sadev transmission and all-wheel-drive system, meaning that Block has basically married a NASCAR stock car with a WRC racer. ASD also developed the customized suspension, tubular chassis and roll cage. The wide Mustang body is the work of RTR and Block's own Hoonigan Racing Division, while the 18-inch fifteen52 wheels are shod in Pirelli Trofeo R tires that use a specialized compound exclusive to Block.

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.

Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.
