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. |

Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2
Mon, 21 Jul 2014If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.
George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]
Sun, 20 Jan 2013Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
Toyota, Ford not interested in FCA merger
Mon, Jun 15 2015Sergio Marchionne will preach the benefits of mergers to anyone who'll listen, but his calls for industry consolidation may be falling on deaf ears. At least, that is, the ears of those who the Fiat Chrysler chief would most like to bend. Not only is General Motors uninterested, but according to The Detroit News, neither are Toyota or Ford. "It's something we would not be interested in," said Toyota's North American chief Jim Lentz, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Toyota Technical Center. "At 10 million (vehicles) we have enough scale right now to do what we need to do. There really would be no advantage for us." Toyota isn't the only one unenthused by the prospect of merging with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The Detroit News also reports that Ford, though it may yet to have been approached by Marchionne, wouldn't be interested either. "We're not a suitor for FCA," said Ford CFO Bob Shanks. "We don't see that type of opportunity as one that applies to us." With GM, Toyota, and Ford expressing disinterest in Marchionne's merger idea, the FCA chief will likely start looking elsewhere – or look for other ways to compel his primary candidate to reconsider. He may eventually find a partner – more likely in the Far East or within Europe – but it may not take the form of the major player Sergio has hoped for.
