This is a very rare 1970 Ford Torino Type N/W hardtop in Pacific Blue (Grabber Blue). This was a limited-production Special Edition for the northwestern market, and very rare, with only a of 395 total made.
They were available in three "high-impact" colors: Pacific Blue (Grabber Blue), Oregon Orange (Competition Orange), and Washington Green (Grabber Green). There were 601 scheduled to be built over two years, however only 395 were made in 1970 with none made the following year.
All the gauges, heater, lights, wipers, etc. seem in proper working order with the exception of the turn signals; I think it's probably simply the flasher relay.
While every effort is being made to describe this vehicle accurately, it is a 43-year-old classic automobile and is being sold as-is, without warranty expressed, or implied. Shipping will be the full responsibility of the buyer, however I will make myself available to your shipper for loading and pick-up. Please be prepared to remit payment within three days of the auction's end.

Ford made a number of different limited-production Special Edition models in the late 60's and early 70's, including the Type N/W Torino, Twister Special Torino, California Special Mustang, and High Country Special Mustang, all of which are rare, unique, and prized by collectors.
I have included an image of the Marti Report which verifies that this is a genuine Torino Type N/W in the original color.
The Type N/W package included the black-out hood paint treatment, hood twist-lock pins, special high-impact paint colors with graphics, dual outside sport mirrors, and argent silver road wheels with wide oval tires. All engine options were available; this one came from the factory with the H-code 351C, and currently has a strong running period-correct 302 and C4 automatic transmission. The car features power front disc brakes and power steering. Mechanically, the car is what you might consider a "daily driver" in sound condition. The car has 132,191 total miles on it.

It has new BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires, new Centerline Auto Drag-style spun aluminum wheels, new brakes, new dual exhaust with chrome tips, new battery, and new carpet. The interior came with the full bench seats with headrests, and currently has Pro Touring-style black bucket seats installed... an easy change-over back to stock if you so desire.
This particular car sold new out of the Seattle area and spent the majority of it's life in Eastern Oregon, resulting in a dry, rust-free car. It has a very nice high-quality repaint in the original Pacific Blue, and it looks great. I have found no evidence of rust or filler/panel repair on the car... very nice sheet metal.
The glass, chrome, and trim are all excellent, including the front grill and rear tail panel sections. I'd say the car would rate right up around a "9" on the exterior, and probably at least a "7" on the interior. The dash has a fitted "factory-style" dash cap installed, and while the upholstery on the bucket seats isn't an exact pattern match, overall the interior is nice, complete, and sound with a good headliner, door panels, trim, etc.

Ram and Alfa Romeo top J.D. Power study of best automaker websites
Fri, Jul 21 2023Imagining a new car can be terrific fun, especially if the new car is an Alfa Romeo. So say the fantasy engineers at the J.D. Power agency, who’ve found that Alfa and Ram, sister brands under the Stellantis umbrella, offer potential buyers the most attractive consumer websites, which are often their first viable encounter with those vehicles. Power found that those marques lead the mass market and premium categories in its twice annual Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study. In the premium segment, Alfa Romeo led with 755 points, up six points over BMW, 10 points ahead of Infiniti, 14 points past of Jaguar, and 18 points up on Porsche. By contrast, Volvo and Audi trail the pack with 689 points, and are behind Genesis (699 points), Tesla (720), and Cadillac (721), all of which perform worse than the premium segment average of 724 points. The summerÂ’s study showed that in the mass market segment, Ram leads with an impressive 735 points, which puts it six points ahead of GMC, seven points atop its stablemate Jeep, eight points beyond Subaru, and 22 points ahead of the industry average. Volkswagen finished dead last among mass market names, but only one point behind Ford, 684 to 683 out of a possible 1,000. Segment average, as noted, was 713 points. “Website satisfaction can be volatile, and automotive websites are not immune to changing preferences,” said Jon Sundberg, director of digital solutions at J.D. Power. “However, manufacturers have shown to be very agile when it comes to website design and ensuring their sites meet modern standards, more so than many other industries, as exemplified through the study data.” Marketing/Advertising Alfa Romeo Audi BMW Ford Volkswagen
Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.
