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 |

Ford opens research center in Silicon Valley
Fri, Jan 23 2015These days, the software running a vehicle's myriad of electronic systems seems to be getting nearly as much development focus from automakers as the traditional mechanical parts that keep a car going. Constantly improving that technology requires a lot of experimentation, though, and Ford is expanding its presence in Silicon Valley with the just-opened Research and Innovation Center Palo Alto to make that progress possible. Ford opened its first office in the country's technological hub in 2012 to draw talent and devise ways to deal with vast amounts of sensor data. Apparently, setting up shop in Silicon Valley was deemed a success because the Blue Oval decided to create this new lab in the Stanford Research Park to focus on five areas: connectivity, mobility, autonomous vehicles, customer experience and analytics. Among the center's potential projects, Ford is hoping to develop better natural speech recognition, which is absolutely vital for improving infotainment systems. Assuming the tech eventually works well enough, your voice might even be used to adjust a vehicle's power seats, according to the automaker. The Blue Oval is also letting engineers from Stanford University test autonomous driving algorithms on a self-driving version of the Fusion. In a smaller stakes venture, researchers are working to get a Nest smart thermometer to automatically adjust the temperature at home depending on if an owner's vehicle is leaving or coming back. To really show that its serious about these ventures, Ford hired Dragos Maciuca away from Apple as the center's technical leader. The automaker also wants to have 125 researchers at work there by the end of the year.
