Here is one eye popping 1971 Torino GT convertible that stops people in their tracks. Only 1613 GT convertibles were made in 71 which makes them very rare and collectible today. This beauty is 1 of only 31 made with this paint and trim combination of bright red and Vermillion bucket seat interior. It's probably the only original one left on the planet. If you want a GT convertible this incredible Arizona beauty is the one you want. A Deluxe Marti Report documents the build, which is included.

The car is in excellent condition having been in Arizona from 1971 until 2000. It was restored in the midwest between 2002 and 2010 and then brought back home to Scottsdale soon after that. The paint work is stunning having been cut and buffed to a glass like finish. There are zero issues with the paint. All the jambs and inside the trunk look original and are nice. No signs of filler are present, Undercarraige looks original and nice and solid. .All the trim and chrome is excellent along with all the rubber and crystal clear glass and a perfect white power top with glass window. The laser stripes are perfect also. All the gaps are right on and doors, hood and trunk shut perfect. Five Magnum 5oo's with excellent Firestone rubber. The spare has never been on the ground. Under hood and trunk are fully detailed and complete.

Motor is the original rebuilt 351 Cleveland 2bbl with a Select Shift C4 automatic transmission. Motor and trans run and shift nicely as expected. Included is a thick folder documenting all the replacement parts and service performed over the years. Basically everything mechanical has been addressed over time and parts replaced as needed. This is a power steering, power disc brake car with cold air conditioning and tinted glass. Everything works except the radio and the high blower fan position. Even the headlight warning buzzer works,

The interior has been preserved beautifully. There is only a minor wear spot on the driver's seat lower bolster that is not even an issue and can be touched up easily. Door and quarter panels are outstanding along with the dash and console and shifter. . The original factory boot is nice also. Carpet and floor mats are perfect. All window regulators and door locks work flawlessly. This orange interior shown outside in the sun is a knockout.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?

Sun, Jul 9 2023

The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric.  Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands.  If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla.  Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor.  Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have:  Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.

Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.
