1971 Ford Torino 500 Fastback. These cars are getting harder and harder to find...and this one is solid! This vehicle is a good daily driver right now but would make a great start to a full on restoration project. It was originally a 302 (original engine included) but now has a 351 Cleveland 4V, aluminum intake, Headman headers, Auto, PS, Factory Air (not installed but I have ALL the pieces), Magnum 500 wheels and nearly new tires. Brand new items include...full length FlowMaster dual exhaust with crossover pipe, Edlebrock carb w/electric choke, distributer, water pump, high volume oil pump, rod bearings (engine was NOT rebuilt but had some lower end noise, I replaced bearings and eliminated 90% of engine noise), spark plugs, brake master cylinder, fuel pump, B&M ratchet shifter, trans mount, motor mount, AM-FM CD player and speakers as well as a bunch of other misc items. All electrical items like lights, signals, wipers, temp gauge, fuel gauge, wipers etc work well. One exception...although the heat/AC fan is operational the heater core has been bypassed and my assumption is that it's bad. The paint is faded and worn in various places. It also has some surface rust in a few areas (top of fender, roof line and trunk) but only one area on the body where it is through the metal. The body is very solid and so is the undercarriage (I took some undercarriage photos of the frame and floors). There is one area rusted through on the drivers side floor but over all is in great shape. The undercarriage is actually original and NOT all painted up underneath so you can actually see what you get (photos show this). The trunk, inner fender wells and shock towers are also original and rust free. The interior is all original and has tears on both seats, the headliner and carpet. The odometer reads 64,159 miles and the previous owner and the title state that it is original. Again, this is not a show car but it is solid! I am definitely ONLY interested in selling it, so no trade offers please. I am also offering it for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. The vehicle is sold with no warranty expressed or implied. If you have any questions shoot me an email and I will reply as soon as I can. Good luck and good bidding.

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California
Fri, 01 Mar 2013A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.
Roush getting back into sport compact business with Focus ST mods [w/video]
Wed, 29 May 2013Roush Performance offers a whole raft of parts for folks looking to tune their Ford Mustang and F-150 models, and now Focus owners can start getting in on the hotted-up action, too. Owners of the 2012-13 Focus and 2013 Focus ST can now get a Roush cold-air intake system, and ST owners can also opt for a high-performance cat-back exhaust.
Although all of these components are now available for order, the parts will ship sometime in July; no word yet on pricing. Down the road, Roush will also offer styling upgrades for the Focus as well as performance tuning upgrades such as engine controller, suspension, wheels and tires. Scroll down for a quick video of what the Focus ST exhaust sounds like, as well as a Roush press release.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
