However with the NASCAR oval still an influence in everyone’s racing agenda, Ford decided to come up with a car that would be competitive with Dodge & Plymouths that were eating up the tracks with the winged cars. In 1970 the newly designed 429 allowed Ford to stay in the game with the Torino as the NASCAR chassis of choice. The production GT Torino Cobra was marketed toward the more affluent buyer and the option list was longer with more trim d?cor levels while still offering up very stout performance numbers. And to get a real thrill from the 429 engine was to bolt it up to a 4-speed tranny and this combination made a very HOT street package. While it offered up room for four and a trunk worthy of carrying more then a few bags of grocery and truth be told it was not easy to get your hands on oe from your local Ford dealer. While the Torino 429 with 4-speed transmission was not as well known in its day as the Chrysler Hemi product but by 1970 had been developed into a fully competitive setup with the Chrysler Corporation Hemis and in many cases could edge out the Hemi in its race form and properly setup. Today it seems that the serious collectors are looking for the more rare muscle cars and not the “me too” muscle cars that were setup to look like they could perform but would fall flat on the racetrack or the drag strip. The 1970 Ford Torino GT 429 4-speed took a backseat to no muscle car in 1970 either on the racetrack or drag strip – yet was docile enough to drive around town. It also accommodate driver and passengers in a very roomy and luxurious form so that you could race on Sunday and drive it to work on Monday. Today when you go to a muscle car show you are usually dazzled by the great number of Hemi’s and Camaro Z28 but you hardly ever see more then one Torinos 429. The car for sale in this ad was
restored in the 1990s and has been decoded and below you will find the decoding
that matches the car up completely. This car is in such beautiful condition it was on the cover of a calendar as shown.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]
Sun, 08 Dec 2013The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit can haul on the track
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Line up any two comparable vehicles, and eople are going to want to race them. Need proof? In its latest track battle, Auto Express wants to know which commercial vehicle can lap a circuit faster - a Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Let's face it, neither of these European vans were ever meant to be near the track unless they are delivering a racecar and a ton of parts for a fun weekend, but it's massively fun to watch them give it a go anyway.
The one thing that Auto Express really illustrates here is the modern marvel that is stability control. The driver hops curves, and these big vans lean in the corners like your friend walking home from a long night at the bar. However, because of the amazing stability systems, the vans mostly keep all of their wheels planted and never seem close to getting sloppy, despite their behemoth size.
Unfortunately, the two vans aren't exactly fairly paired. The Ford has a dual rear axle and a few other advantages over the Mercedes, but it's still hilarious to watch them go. Even better, the host breaks down everything happening behind the wheel like these commercial vehicles were two Porsches. Enjoy watching this very unorthodox battle between Ford and Mercedes.
