You are viewing an absolutely beautiful and very rare 1970 Ford Torino GT 429 Fastback. By looking at the codition of this car, you just know its been extremely well maintained, has 95K original miles. The car still retains its original N-code 429 Thunder-Jet Big Block, C-6 Transmission and 9 inch Rear with 3:90 gears and Detroit Locker. The exterior is Code-T Ford Red, with a Black interior.

The 429 roars to life with a click of the key and quickly settles into a smooth idle. The entire motor has been recently rebuilt with performance in mind and has all the best parts, SCJ internals, heads redone with roller rockers, new Holley Double Pumper Etc.. Huge Hooker Super Comp Headers flow through the true duel exhaust and exit out the back with new chrome tips. This engine runs truly great and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. The original C-6 shifts smoothly and with its original 9" rear with a 390 Detroit Locker, You've got an awesome Muscle Car! This car will smoke both rear tires as far as you want it to!

The exterior is all original panels with no signs of rust at all. The car is as straight as they come, the Red base coat, clear coat shines beautifully and you'd really have to look hard (with your glasses on) to find any flaws, I think there may be 2 or 3 tiny chips that have been touched up. The black interior is fresh, with new headliner, dash, seat covers, carpet, and a very nice (expensive) reconditioned console. If you don't like the aftermarket gauges, we can remove them for you. Everything appears to be in working order. Windows are nice and roll up & down nicely.

The underside of this car is very clean and absolutely rust free. The floors, torque boxes, frame rails, trunk etc. are all super nice, has many new steering & suspension parts. 

Car is equipped with, Power Disc Brakes (completely rebuilt), Power Steering, like new Magnum 500 wheels on a new set of BF Goodrich T/A Radials, GT package, Bucket seats, Console, AM FM Stereo (have original), 429 Thunder-Jet, C6, Positive Traction, color keyed mirrors etc.. The chrome on the car is extremely nice, no pits on the chrome on top of the doors and under the quarter windows (there usually so pitted they look like cheese graters). Every single emblem is new, the rear bumper is nice, the front bumper has some fade. Every piece of weather stripping has been replaced.

This car is very tight and is a top quality Muscle Car. More rare than a Cobra. I just want to mention that when we were taking the pictures that it was very overcast and started to drizzle, the front bumper has water drops on it and the clouds are reflecting on the roof and deck, don't confuse the reflections as dull spots. If you think the car looks good in these pics, then wait until you see it, even better!

As always please ask all question or feel free to look at the car PRIOR to auctions end. We can store the car for up to 30 days free (once paid) to allow time to get a shipper if needed. We can also help obtain shipping at buyers expense.

Please call Tim anytime @ (845)728-0428 or (845)728-6575 to discuss the car or to inquire about a Buy-It-Now. Car is for sale locally and can be sold at any time. Don't miss out on this great opportunity to own this rare classic. There are 135 pictures below, please give it time to load, its worth it!

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
