You're bidding on a 1970 Ford Torino GT 2-door hardtop fastback. It is an authentic GT, but has had some changes: The car originally came with a 351 c.i. 4-bbl., but years ago was switched to a 429 4-bbl. HiPo engine. The car also came with a 4-speed, but was changed by the first owner to an automatic drive so his wife could drive it, therefore the steering column has been changed and a plate now covers the 4-speed shifter tunnel.

The car also came originally yellow with black stripes, but was later changed to Grabber Orange with black stripes. The paint is several years old, but still in good shape for an everyday driver, but will need repaint if you're going to restore her. The car has 2 minor rust spots on the body as can be seen in the pictures.

It has Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes and Factory A/C (not presently working). The glass is good, as are the floor pans and trunk pan. Someone began to strip and restore this car years ago, but undoubtly gave up on it. It would make a great car to restore back. The seats and all the trim are included. The engine runs good and the tranny shifts good, as well. However, the gas tank needs to be put back on (the tank is off now, but comes with the car). The seats are currently not in the car, but come with the car. They are in good shape with excellent cores.

The bumpers are in good shape. The grille is complete, but the center needs to be put back on.This car has been in storage for a while. It will need to be gone through and is a great muscle car for a restoration! You WILL need to tow this car. The buyer is responsible for all towing/delivery methods and expenses.

For any questions about other details and to arrange to see it, please call the owner, Jimmy Hammond at 256-762-6711 from 10 a.m.- 10 p.m. CST.

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.

California Man Reunited 33 Years Later With Thunderbird

Wed, Sep 3 2014

A California man was at a loss for words when he was reunited with his prized 1964 Ford Thunderbird on Tuesday, 33 years after it was stolen from a bar parking lot. Gary Chartrand could hardly believe how well his old Thunderbird held up in the last three decades. The odometer had only added about 1,000 miles from when he last saw the car back in the 1980s. "A few bumps and bruises but boy, not much changed," Chartrand told KOVR. Chartrand bought the car as a present to himself after finalizing his divorce from his wife of 10 years in 1981. It disappeared one night from the parking lot of a Sacramento bar where he was working. Police found Chartrand's car 750 miles north in Washington State. They have no leads on who might have stolen the classic car. Related Gallery Buying An Older Car: Five Things To Watch Out For
