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

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

Barrett-Jackson 2014: First production 2015 Ford Mustang earns $300k for JDRF [w/video]

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

We've almost become immune to the huge dollar amounts that collectible cars earn for charity at Barrett-Jackson. To wit, $300,000 for the first production 2015 Ford Mustang initially didn't seem like very much money. In reality, though, it's probably about 10 times the actual asking price for the car, and we're pleased to report that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
According to Ford, the car's winning bidder will get to "choose a fastback with manual or automatic transmission, and any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the all-new Mustang." Power will come from a slightly revised version of the well-known 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce "more than 420hp and 396 pound-feet of torque."
We snapped live images of the 2015 Mustang prototype that Ford had on display here at Barrett-Jackson, and you can check them out above. The official auction description, along with a video of the auction as it happened live, is below.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.

Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell revisit bitter F1 rivalry in... Ford Fusion campaign?

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Formula One World Champions Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell haven't been on good terms since the 1986 season, when Piquet joined Mansell at the Williams team and Piquet spent the year privately fuming about not being granted the status of number one driver. Things only got worse from there - even though Piquet won the title the following year with Williams, still partnered with Mansell, the fuming was a lot less private.
They're back together after a 25-year silence, in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil to drive the new Ford Fusion. Called "Fusion Grand Prix," both men get the new Ford sedan, prepped to their liking - but still street legal, we assume - for a race to decide... well, who is faster behind the wheel of a Fusion.
There will be four episodes, with the first two having already aired. The third episode comes on January 29 and the race happens February 5. You'll find two video episodes and a press release below, but note - because it's a campaign for Ford Brazil, Piquet's dialogue in the vids isn't translated, so hit the Closed Captioning button to hear his side of the smack talking.
