1971 Ford Torino 500 model, uniquely equipped. Its powered by an M code 351 4 barrel Cleveland engine backed by its original C6 transmission. The 9" rear end houses its original 3.00 geared traction lock differential. The engine runs strong and the trans shifts like it should. It has a nice cam in and a 3000 stall convertoer from Broader Performance. REAL NICE full length dual exhaust with Flowmaster 44's. Looking at the Marti report, it shows the car was not dealer ordered for stock but specifically with these options by a customer. Along with the drivetrain, it was equipped with power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, tinted glass, visibility group (under hood, trunk, glove box and map lamps), sport mirrors, styled steel wheels and the in dash tachometer. The interior is on good shape but could use a dash pad or a dash cap. door panels, upholstery, headliner all in nice shape. This is a very solid car as it spent most of its life North Carolina. All lamps work, turn signals, brake lights, headlights, horn, wipers, windshield washer, heater fan, dash lights, tachometer, door locks, parking brake. Brake pads are at about 50% and rotors are in good shape. Car starts right and and runs/drives/stops good. No smoke, knocks or ticks. The car is not a rust bucket, it has nice floors, doors, cowl and trunk. The front shock towers have NOT been torched for greasing the upper control arms.

New window crank knobs and door lock knobs, dome lamp lens, Duralast Gold battery, reproduction battery cables, battery hold down and bolts, remanufactured correct carburetor, wiper refills in original frames, pre-bent fuel line from fuel pump to carburetor, Monroe front shocks, Cooper Cobra tires and Alpine 6x9 rear speakers. It has an older JVC cassette deck that DOES work. I do have the original shoulder belts and they go with the car along with the air conditioning cpompressor. The compressor is not frozen so it should be good. I have receipts and paperwork going back to the mid 80's and covering 4 different owners. The vehicle also retains its original owners manual, operators manual, warranty card, starting instructions sleeve and warrranty facts guide. It has all 5 of the styled steel wheels. 

Besides all of this, At the end of August/beginning of September, the engine was pulled for installation of the stall converter and an engine bay clean and detail. 

Engine - cleaned, new oil pan/timing cover/water pump/valve cover/ intake gaskets/ carburetor and a repaint. Fresh distributor (has a Pertronix conversion) and carter fuel pump. New engine harness and all new/fresh decals and markings. New valve springs and belts.

Engine bay - Degreased/ Powerwashed wiped down with laquer thinner and painted with Rustoleum 7777. Everything is either been cleaned and detailed or is new. All new replated hardware from Ron Savavge. Ron Savage concours restored wiper motor. Reproduction battery cables, radiator and heater hoses, hose clamps, decals, windhsield washer pump,master cylinder cover and master cylinder mounting nuts. Alternator cleaned and painted, reproduction fan and pulley. All I have pictures from engine removal, cleaning, painting right up to the finished product.

Grill Assembly - Complete grill assembly cleaned, taped off and painted. Headlight stands/buckets disassembled, cleaned and painted.

Heater core removed, repaired (broke soldered joint for tube), flushed and pressure tested. Heater control repaired and all underhood vacuum lines for heater/AC system repaired/replaced and properly run. Heater box now functions as it should with vent/heat/de-fog and de-ice functions working properly. Blower motor works great.

I'm sure there's a lot of things I'm forgetting. 

Ran 14.70 at the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race. DROVE it 160 miles (one way) to the track and back home. Currently has a 4.11 locker in it but I have the original 3.00 traction loc.

Shelby boosts production of 575-hp Raptor on early demand

Mon, 08 Apr 2013

Shelby American unveiled its all-new Shelby Raptor at the New York Auto Show last month, saying that it would build just 100 examples of its off-road bad boy, a pickup priced at $17,995 over the cost of the donor Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. But the Las Vegas outfit apparently underestimated just how popular the supercharged 575-horsepower 4x4 would actually be.
Strong early demand reportedly has Shelby singing a whole new tune, as the company is now saying it will build upwards of 500 units annually. While the increased production will likely make for at least 400 more happy owners, those who were on the original short list - possibly speculating on future values - might not be grinning as much. Needless to say, the company has assured everyone that each and every one of the modified Raptors will still be listed in the official Shelby registry.
Keep in mind that Ford isn't sitting idle on its trophy-truck-for-the-street, either. The company will reveal its own 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition this month.

How new car shortages may impact your buying experience

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

If you want further proof that the auto industry is bouncing back, look no further than the empty lots and forecourts of your local dealership. According to a story by The Wall Street Journal, continued high demand for mainstream cars is overtaxing automakers' ability to produce enough models. Several dealers interviewed for the story are reporting two-week supplies as opposed to the typical two-month allocations.
With sales expected to hit 1.4 million units when August numbers arrive shortly and incentive spending down to its lowest amount since January, these limited supplies are pushing prices even higher. For example, according to the WSJ, the average price of a Ford Fusion is up past $26,000. Unfortunately, it's difficult for manufacturers to increase production quickly. If it invests in its facilities, as many manufacturers have done, it risks wasting cash if growth suddenly slows. At the same time, the momentum gained over the past several years could be short lived if vehicle supplies continue to dwindle. "Manufacturers are in a precarious situation," notes Karl Brauer, a senior director at Kelley Blue Book.
Low interest rates and a wealth of desirable features are also allowing customers to purchase more expensive vehicles while justifying their higher overall price tags, a situation that is compounding supply shortages. Even now, during the annual end-of-summer clearance season, deals on new vehicles are remarkably difficult to come by. According to the report, the Toyota Corolla is in a self-inflicted state of shortage, as Toyota clears out inventory in anticipation of the new 2014 generation arriving in dealers. Ford's supplies should rebound as Fusion production comes on line at its Flat Rock, Michigan factory. The Chevrolet Impala, Honda Odyssey, Civic, and Accord and Subaru Forester are also facing shortages.
