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.

Carfection looks for the ultimate pocket rocket
Fri, Mar 18 2016If there's one thing we love, it's a good showdown. Especially when it's on video, done by some Englishmen, and involving some manner of performance machinery. Like this latest clip, for example, from Carfection. The team formerly known as Xcar have assembled three very compelling supermini hot hatches: two we can get on our side of the pond, and one we can't. One American, one Frenchman, and one Brit. One cheap, one expensive, and one somewhere in between. They all pack turbo fours, of course, but placed in entirely different packages. There's the evergreen favorite Ford Fiesta ST, the Renault Clio RS 220 Trophy that should have the rest licked, and the retro rocket that is the Mini JCW. And there's only one way to find out which is the best. It's a tough contest, to be sure, but lest you think it all comes down to specifications or which one's the newest, you'll want to think again. Because when it comes to hot hatches, all the electronic gizmos and power boosts in the world can't show up a perfectly dialed-in chassis that lets you hug the curves and feel like you're going a lot faster than you actually are. But don't take our word for it – see what our British friends have to say about it in the Queen's English in the seventeen-minute clip above. Related Video:
Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.
