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.

Get a taste of Ford GT ownership from Dust Devils
Thu, Jan 1 2015It seems that the automotive world might be right on the cusp of getting some kind of follow-up to the Ford GT. It might not be called the GT or even use the coupe's retro look, but rumors point to such a beast being on the way. If the future halo model can inspire as much adoration among fans as the previous ones, then the Blue Oval is sure to have another winner on its hands. To get idea just how closely GT owners are bonded to their cars, take a ride with the participants in the ninth Ford GT National Rally in this short documentary titled Dust Devils. The owners convened with over 80 of the retro supercars in Las Vegas, NV, to admire the coupes and give them a workout on the desert roads. It's especially nice to see the drivers of these limited production Fords unafraid to take their cars to the track and stretch their legs a little. Related Gallery 2016 Honda Accord Coupe V6: Quick Spin View 25 Photos There's just something about the shape of the GT and the GT40 before it that gets everything right aesthetically. The long, low-slung look is simultaneously menacing and lithe, and the growl from the latest model's supercharged V8 is nothing to complain about either. Get just the slightest taste of what it's like to have one of these halo Fords in this clip, from the people that love them the most.

Obama to herald auto industry turnaround from idled Ford plant
Tue, Jan 6 2015President Barack Obama will tout the recent successes of the American auto industry in a speech on Wednesday. This would be a fine and dandy plan aside from two small hitches. First, the president is visiting Ford's Wayne, MI factory, which is rather strange considering the government bailed out the company's local rivals, Chrysler and General Motors. Even more worrying, considering the topic of the speech, is that the Wayne facility has been idled due to a lack of demand. According to The Detroit News, the White House said the speech will focus on "the workers in the resurgent American automotive and manufacturing sector now that the auto rescue has been completed and the decision to save the auto industry and the over one million jobs that went with it." Wayne Assembly employs some 5,100 Michiganders when its lines are up and running, but as gas prices have plunged below $2 per gallon in some areas over the past month, its fuel-efficient products – the Focus and C-Max – have seen their sales plummet, as well. In December, the Focus' year-over-year sales were down 4.4 percent, while the C-Max dipped 3.3 percent, Ford told The News. Lagging sales for the two compacts aren't a new thing, though. Focus sales in all of 2014 were down 6.4 percent, while the C-Max struggled with a 21.6-percent drop last year. According to The News, Ford made the decision to idle the factory before being approached by the White House. Considering that, we wonder what the team at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was thinking when it selected the Ford facility, and what impact the location will have on the president's message.

Facelifted Ford Focus caught testing in the cold
Wed, 18 Dec 2013It's that time in the life of the Ford Focus to get a little work done - a nip-tuck here, some Botox there. Yes, Ford is testing a facelifted version of its global C-segment entry, which first hit markets in Europe and North America in May 2011.
Like the touchup on the Fiesta, expect Ford's gaping grille to make its first appearance on the Focus. Our spy photographers point out that this is likely to be a more comprehensive makeover than previous spy shots suggested, based on the additional camouflage seen here on the front and rear ends of this five-door model. New head and taillights are also likely in order, as are changes to the front and rear fascia.
The interior was also snapped and features a cleaner design with a larger central display. Other than that, it looks like some buttons have been changed, making us think most of the Focus' updates are limited to the exterior.
