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 auctioning off F-35-themed 2015 Mustang for charity

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Ford's been a supporter of EAA AirVenture, a huge, annual air show held in Oshkosh, WI, for several years now, with one of its most notable contributions being a modified Ford Mustang, designed to look like one of America's great fighting aircraft. There was an SR-71 Mustang, based on the legendary spy plane, a Red Tails edition, which honored the ground-breaking Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, as well as Blue Angels and Thunderbird Mustangs, based on America's two great military aerial demonstration teams.
Each car is auctioned off, with all proceeds going to the EAA Young Eagles program, which introduces kids to the joy of flight. For the 2014 AirVenture, which runs from July 28 to August 3, the one-off pony car is based on the new-for-2015 Mustang, and America's latest fighting aircraft - the controversial F-35 Lightning II.
The unique Mustang sports titanium paint scheme, with both glossy and matte sections, as well as yellow-and-blue trim and decal elements inspired by CF-1, the first F-35 test plane. A carbon-fiber front splitter and rear diffuser add some visual eye candy, while the interior boasts a set of Recaro seats. Ford also opted to fit unique wheels and a brawnier rear spoiler, to tie everything together.

2015 Ford Mustang fuel economy ratings leaked

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Thinking about buying a new Mustang, but want to know what kind of fuel economy it'll get? Well we have our first indication as the pony-car enthusiasts over at Mustang6G.com have gotten a hold of the Monroney window stickers for a few of the new 2015 Mustang models.
Although the V8 model is not among them, we can now see how the EPA has rated those models with a half dozen pistons or less. The Mustang EcoBoost with the turbo four and a manual transmission has been rated at 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 on the highway. The V6 manual gets 17 city and 28 highway, while the V6 automatic squeezes out a bit more in the city at 19 mpg but carries the same 28 highway rating.
By way of comparison, the latest Chevy Camaro with the V6 and a stick shift gets the same 17/28 EPA rating as a similarly equipped new 'Stang, and the V6 automatic Camaro gets 18/27 (slightly behind the Ford, but if you opt for the Camaro 2LS with its V6, automatic and 2.92 rear axle ratio, you'll be looking at 19 and 30).

Watch Ken Block's scary Rally America crash from inside the cockpit

Wed, 19 Feb 2014

Ken Block became famous for his series of Gymkhana videos, but he's a real racer in his own right. Block has competed many rounds in the FIA World Rally Championship and also rallied in the 2013 Rally America series. He nearly won that latter title last year - if not for a massive crash in the final event of the season.
Block and his co-driver Alex Gelsomino went into the Lake Superior Performance Rally needing a win to take the championship. However, missing a clump of dirt on the side of the road and one little word in the pace notes was all it took to catapult Block's Fiesta off the road and into a tumbling accident. Block says his initial reaction was anger because the crash came out of nowhere.
For 2014, Block is joining the FIA World Rallycross Championship for at least three rounds. He'll drive a Ford Fiesta for the Hoonigan Racing Division at the Norwegian, French and Turkish events of the 12-round championship. Former Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve will also compete in the series.
