1970 Ford Torino Rare, 4 Speed, Restored, Marti-report on 2040-cars

Year:1970 Mileage:41434 Color: speaks for itself

South Haven, Michigan, United States

South Haven, Michigan, United States

Up for sale is my 1970 Ford Torino.  It was just completely redone. Interior,exterior, drivetrain as good and in many cases better than new.  I am putting a down payment on a piece of property so it has to go.  It has a full Marti report that details just how rare it is. 

The engine was rebuilt with 2V heads for streatability bolted to the stock 1V intake.  The block was bored 30 over with TRW forged pistons and ARP rod bolts.  The cam is a Comp Cam 270 with matching springs, keepers and retainers.  Also hardened 5/16 pushrods, crane guide plates and steel roller tip rocker arms were installed.  It has new belts, new radiator hoses and a new 4 core radiator.  The 4 speed transmission was fully rebuilt and at that time a new pressure plate and clutch were installed. The brakes have been completely serviced.  The power steering pump was also rebuilt.

The exterior speaks for itself.  We went with grabber orange and satin black for the hood and rear stripes. They were professionally painted on not decals.  The paint job is flawless and not much body work had to happen as it was originally from the pacific northwest with 41000 actual miles and not rusty.  The under side of the car was also painted black.  The bumpers are brand new as are the wheels and tires.  I have most all receipts for the work and new parts. 

The carpet is new, seats professionally redone, new headliner,  new door panels all the gauges and lights work, etc.  We put new springs in the rear and new shocks in the front.  While we were at it we also lowered the car from stock a couple inches for the look and ride quality.  Then exhaust is custom Masterflow that crosses in an x pattern than tucks up nice neat and sounds awesome.

The car runs out and drives beautifully.  Im going to hate to see it go.  It doesn't have a radio.  It is wired up and has new speakers I just never got around to putting a radio in it.  There are two small pieces of chrome on the rear of the window that could use re chroming.  Those are really the only issues I can think of with the car.  You are basically buying a 100 % restored and completed muscle car ready for a show or to hit the streets as soon as you get it. 

Thanks for looking and feel free to call or email with any questions

Ford Focus 1.0-liter Ecoboost to only get manual trans in US

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus leaked earlier today, but now we're able to tell you more details of the global five-door hatchback. Bucking automaker's troubling trend of ditching manual transmissions in favor of automatics, Ford says the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will come only in a six-speed manual in the US, because, well, American drivers aren't as sophisticated as our European brothers and sisters.
Ford didn't come out and say it that way, but it has found American drivers are more prone to complain about automatics in smaller-engine cars, Raj Nair, Ford's group vice president of global product development, said at a press conference last week. The recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study backs up Ford's claims, pointing out that drivers are complaining about rough transmission shifts, engine hesitation and lack of power, particularly in small cars. In Europe and other parts of the world, drivers seem to understand the quirks of these pint-sized engines, Nair said, so they'll have the option to buy an automatic. Ford is working on tuning its dual-clutch transmissions to make them more amenable to American driver's tastes.
Ford will show off the refreshed 2015 Focus at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The car is due for an update, having been on sale in its current form since 2012. The automaker said it is jamming the car full of new technology - like a USB port that promises to charge your phone in half the time as a regular USB port. Features like Sync and a rear back-up camera will come standard. For a more in-depth look at the car, take a look at the full press release.

More evidence GT500-replacement will be named GT350

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

During the recent unveiling of the 2015 Ford Mustang, we saw the car in both V6 and GT form, but we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see the successor to the Shelby GT500. In the meantime, though, it looks like SVTPerformance.com has confirmed reports that this high-performance model will bring the Shelby GT350 name back to Ford.
According to the forum post, a user found the Shelby GT350 name on a Ford promo website listing its 2015 lineup. The Shelby GT350 name was first used on a Mustang back in 1965, and most recently it has been a model created for customers as a post-title purchase by Shelby American. As for that car, Shelby confirmed earlier in the year that its GT350 would be phased out at the end of this month.
The million-dollar question for Mustang and Shelby enthusiasts is when we'll see next factory Shelby GT350. Last we heard it was planned for a debut at the New York Auto Show. We've included our previous spy shots of this hi-po, sixth-gen Mustang, and we've also captured it on spy video showing off its exhaust note.
