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.

Proper, New reproduction center caps for the wheels.

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.
