1970 Ford Torino GT Factory 351 Cleveland 4V. 3 speed FMX automatic transmission, 9" 3.00:1 rear. Factory A/C.
The Torino was purchased new by my grandparents in 1970 and has been in the family since new. It starts, runs and drives and is a good restoration project car. I always intended to restore it but never found the time so its time to let it go to someone who can take the time to restore it. The engine and transmission are original and have never been out of the car or had any major work done. The engine does blow some smoke at startup as the valve seals have deteriorated. It still has 165-175 psi compression in every cylinder and is otherwise mechanically fine. The carburetor, air cleaner and distributor have been replaced, but the original factory parts are in the trunk. It currently has a 600cfm Edelbrock performer carburetor and a Mallory electronic distributor. The belt has been removed from the factory A/C because some of the idler pulleys have seized and need to be replaced. The transmission works perfectly and shifts firmly but it has an external leak somewhere. It recently had the fluid and filter changed and a new pan gasket put on but it still leaks a little even when sitting. I suspect it may be the selector shaft seal or the tail shaft seal. The body and interior are complete with the exception of the missing ashtray in the center console. The exterior paint color is not the original color. It was originally green with a laser stripe, but my Aunt had it painted blue sometime in the late 1970s. The white interior is original and in fair shape. The body is in fair shape considering its age but it needs new rear quarter panels and the passenger side front floor pan is rusted. There are some other rust issues noted in the pictures and quite a few little parking lot dents. It currently has the original 4 wheel manual drum brakes. I have complete V8 Granada spindles from the junkyard to convert it to front disc brakes but I never had the time to put them on. All of the V8 Granada brake parts are included in the trunk with the car and can been seen in the pictures.

Ford bringing C-Max Solar Energi Concept to CES
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Solar energy might not be enough to power a usable electric vehicle on its own, but that doesn't mean it can't lend a helping hand. And that's what Ford has in store for the Consumer Electronics Show opening next week in Las Vegas.
Ford has essentially taken its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid and fitted it with the latest in solar panel technology developed by SunPower, acting like a magnifying glass to capture as much of the sun's energy as possible. So you get the benefit of an electric vehicle, with the range assurance of a hybrid, without needing to draw from the grid.
Ford estimates that a day of charging in the sunshine will give the C-Max Solar Energi concept the same full charge as the production PHEV, with a total range of 620 miles - 21 of which can be run on electric power alone. Otherwise the vehicle - which remains a concept for the time being - is identical to the existing C-Max Energi. The top-selling model in Ford's growing hybrid and electric vehicle portfolio helps put Ford just behind Toyota among the top seller of hybrids in America. Scope out the images in the gallery above and the video clip and press release below for a closer look.
Jerry Seinfeld doesn't love Sarah Jessica Parker's new Country Squire in latest CiCGC
Fri, 20 Jun 2014Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee has finally returned for its fourth season of combining Jerry Seinfeld, a miscellaneous celebrity and a cup of java. But rather than fondly remembering some older piece of automotive machinery, this time around, Seinfeld is utterly unable to keep his hatred of Sarah Jessica Parker's 1976 Ford LTD Country Squire from coming out to hilarious effect.
However, Parker has such a high level of infectious enthusiasm for her recently purchased Country Squire that she seems to win over Seinfeld by the end - at least a little bit. For most of their time together, the two of them drive around Manhattan and the suburbs waxing nostalgic about what things were like when these wagons were ubiquitous.
Since this is actually SJP's car, she and Seinfeld trade off driving duties, and the image above should give you some indication of Seinfeld's reaction to the Sex and the City star behind the wheel. It seems this '70s land yacht might be a little too much for her to handle in New York traffic. Regardless, she is absolutely in love with her Ford.
Project Ugly Horse: Part VII
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
