Here is your chance to own a beautiful 1971 Ford Torino 500 2 door hardtop numbers matching car with only 23,842 original miles..... This car is litterally a beautiful car with minimal milage. The only changes to the car were the addition of dual exhaust a tachometer, clock, and an FM converter, as well as the installation of a battery tender on the inside fender well. This is the original paint,original trim original everything actually ( newer Rubber on rims). It has the 5 liter 302 2v with automatic trans on the column, interior is perfect and very sweet with minor seat stitching pulling a little on the driver side as you can note from the photos. We've had quite a bit of crappy weather this winter, but I was able to get the car pulled out of the garage last week on a sunny ( but cold ) day to take these photos. Hopefully this week I can get it out a little farther to take some better, more detailed photos, but the lawn is pretty saturated from all of the snow melting, and I really do not want to get it on the lawn to get the tires all muddy.
The lines of this car as you can note are very straight and factory correct, all of the chrome, badging and top are correct and very clean.
The motor and trans/& rear leaks no oil, neither does it burn oil. This car runs GREAT, sounds great, and turns heads for sure. Tires, rims, caps and shrouds are all color correct and matching to this particular car, this is factory paint guys, really really nice yet. The trunk has the correct original jack, stand and lug wrench, as well as a new liner, however I am thinking that it is not the factory correct trunk liner. 
This is truly an "UNMOLESTED" car with low low milage, so if your in the market for something nice and original, you've found it. 
I am moving next week and expect to have some delays in getting the internet up and running again due to being overly busy at work, for those of you who want to reply through e-bay, bare with me as I will be working from my i-phone... Those who prefer a more direct contact, just feel free to call me at: 484-239-9564  ( Scott ) If I do not pick up your call, it is because I am a concreter contractor and more than likely on equipment or pouring concrete, just leave a message and I will get back to you promptly. thanks, and good luck bidding.

BMW to follow Honda back into F1?

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

The economic downturn wrought devastating effects on motor racing. Formula One alone lost half its engine suppliers when Honda left at the end of the 2008 season, and both BMW and Toyota followed at the end of 2009. But things are looking up again. Cosworth may have dropped out this season, reducing the engine suppliers to three: Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes, the latter of which admits that it may have left had the engine formula not changed. But Mercedes has stayed and is dominating the championship. Honda is coming back next season. And word around the paddock is it may not be the only one.
According to Giancarlo Minardi - founder of the team now known as Scuderia Toro Rosso - BMW engineers have been conspicuously spotted lately at F1 test sessions and grands prix, lending to speculation that the new engine regulations may entice the Bavarian automaker back into the series. According to Minardi, BMW's marketing division is pushing for the automaker's return to F1, with the board slated to make a decision in May. BMW would be more likely to consider an engine-supply deal rather than taking a team over like it had with Sauber, but with which team or teams it might collaborate remains a big question mark at this point.
As if that's not enough, Ford is said to be considering taking over Cosworth's aborted V6 turbo engine program to take both outfits back into the sport as well. Cosworth supplied F1 engines under the Ford banner for years, but returned under its own name for four seasons from 2010 through 2013 before shuttering its program to develop an engine to meet the new regulations adopted this season.

Here's your chance to vote for the best-looking state police cruiser

Thu, Jul 18 2019

Across the country, state police generally drive the same types of vehicles. Right now, the most common cruisers are Ford Explorers, Chevrolet Tahoes, and Dodge Chargers, with some exceptions sprinkled in. The differentiation comes through in the livery, which can range from simplistic badging to busy stripes. Each year, the American Association of State Troopers (AAST) holds a fun contest to determine which state has the coolest-looking cars, and 2019 voting has just opened. We discovered the contest after Motor1 posted about the Florida Highway Patrol's newest addition to its fleet, a Dodge Challenger R/T. The musclemobile is, without question, the coolest car in the competition, and it might have the best livery too. But that doesn't mean it's going to win, as contests like this often turn into hotbeds for chest-beating homers.  The AAST is posting results on Facebook, and as of July 17, 2019, Kentucky and Nebraska are blowing the rest of the states out of the water. Florida is in ninth place with 4,653 votes compared to first-place Kentucky's 14,699. New Jersey is in last place with only 107 votes. As the internet goes, this will likely be determined by how many times the contest is shared across social media.  The Challenger isn't the only eye candy, either. Not every state participated, but those that did came correct with the photography, including Nebraska posing its car in front of a freakin' tornado. Others staged their cars with helicopters in the background, some set the car in front of the gorgeous landscapes their states have to offer, and others posed with dogs. Because who doesn't love dogs? No matter which car wins, it's cool to see the various designs all in one place. Check out the gallery above and vote for your favorite on the AAST's survey. The survey will close on July 30, 2019.  

Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list

Tue, 17 Jun 2014



The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.
