1970 Torino GT Convertible – Shaker Hood
VIN # OH37M107868
This car will be available for viewing
in person at the Goodguys 9th
Nashville Nationals May 16, 17, & 18 at LP Field, Tennessee Titan Stadium, 1
Titans Way, Nashville, TN 37213. It will
be in the Swap Meet area. All offers
will be considered, and I reserve the right to sell this car outside of this
e-bay auction.
Up
for auction is my 70 Torino GT Convertible.
Runs and Drives fine. I drive it
on the weekends and even take it to work if the weather is good and no chance
of rain. My dogs love going for rides in
the Torino especially if the trip involves going to an establishment with a
drive through window. This is far from being
a trailer queen show car, but it always gets lots of attention and compliments
everywhere we go. I have put “tons of
Money and tons of work” into it over the years I have owned it.
This is a rare car, only 3900
Convertible GTs built. You almost never
see a Shaker Hood 70 Torino GT Convertible on E-Bay. I also have never run across one at any car
show. For someone who wants an
unmolested original car there are several changes that have been made. When I
bought the car it had been repainted a BRIGHT Lime green. The original color (listed in the Marti
Report) was “Medium Ivy Green Metallic. I think it looks better in red. If you buy the car and want to return it as
close to original as possible you will also have to remove the A/C system that
I took from another 70 Torino as well as the hide-away headlights that were not
original to this car. The motor is also not
the original 351C with 4V heads, but a more common 2V motor that was replaced
somewhere along the way before I took ownership.
This car is pretty rare and deserves
more attention/restoration than I can afford to give it. I have certainly improved this car since I
have owned it. It can now be driven and
enjoyed. There is still a lot that needs
to be done. Rust in the trunk area is pretty bad. The front suspension has an annoying squeak.
I’m not sure what it the source is. I
have not highly pursued it because my original intent was to completely redo
and modernize the suspension.

Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.

Ford recalling 2015 Mustang for fuel line leak, 20K Transit Connects for plastic panel
Fri, Dec 5 2014Ford is recalling 738 examples of the 2015 2015 Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine – 712 in the US, 16 in Canada.

The 2014 Transit Connect Cargo Van is also the subject of a safety recall, due to a possible problem with adhesive used on the exterior plastic panel on the sliding doors. There are 19,825 units covered by that recall, which dealers will also repair free of charge. You can find more information on both bulletins in the press releases below.
