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.

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.

Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.

2015 Ford F-150 gets Power Wheels treatment [w/video]

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

With the introduction of its forthcoming 2015 F-150, Ford is breaking with convention by shifting from steel-intensive construction to aluminum. But what if it weren't made of metal altogether? What if it were made of plastic instead, and packed an electric motor instead of an internal-combustion engine?
Feast your eyes, boys and girls, on the new Power Wheels F-150. Built by Fisher-Price and licensed by Ford, the third-generation ride-on toy started development nine months before the full-size version debuted at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, and is hitting sidewalks and driveways across the country this September.
The Power Wheels F-150 carries a sticker price of $349.99, and there's a special version at Toys R Us with LED headlamps (just like the real F-150) for an extra $10.
