1971 Ford Torino 500
Rare Halo Roof car (Spring Promo model)

I am the second owner
56,000 numbers matching miles
Very unmolested car

I bought this car in the fall of 2008 with the intention of having a classic that would make a suitable daily driver and would have no problem keeping up with traffic, running cool and being dead reliable and getting respectable fuel mileage. This car was the result, and served me well for almost 30,000 miles of daily use in the spring through fall for almost five years.

This particular car spent most of it's life in a garage and was one driven for short trips and in 42 years has never seen a snowflake. It is remarkably solid for a car that was notorious for rust! The torque boxes, floors, wheel houses and cowl area look perfect, and untouched. I went over the car before it was driven daily and replaced all the typical (and still original) wear items. Such upgrades:

aluminum radiator
thermostat and aluminum housing with sender
all coolant hoses replaced
- coolant flushed
- new water pump
power steering flushed
trans fluid and filter and B&M shift kit upgrade
both v-belts replaced
oil pressure sender
fuel pump
temp sender
reman carburetor
valve cover gaskets
HEI distributor upgrade
KYB shocks front and rear
PST front end kit (all ball joints, tie rods, control arms new)
spring perches
all poly-graphite bushings in suspension instead of original rubber
large Addaco front and rear sway bars
1970 Mach I Mustang disc brake kit (was originally manual drum brakes)
rotors, pads, bearings, races, seals
calipers
brake hoses
washer pump
master cylinder and booster upgrade using all OEM parts
power steering pump
all headlamp bulbs
headliner
door seals
trunk seal
quarter window seals
air cleaner
Motorsport wire set
Optima battery and cables
exhaust manifold gaskets
complete factory style exhaust w/Dynomax turbo mufflers
complete repaint January 2012 base coat/clear coat
vinyl top deleted
all chrome and bright work polished and reinstalled
all lenses and trim polished or painted and reinstalled
TST wax coated underside to repel moisture
American Racing 17x9.5 and 17x8 Magnum 500 wheels and Nitto high performance tires (less than 1000 miles on them)
Summit Racing gauge kit
wired for hidden radio

headlamps wired on relays for all four to illuminate

The car was in very good shape so the work done was mainly preventative to preserve the car. I did upgrade worn items with the best stuff I could find, such as the poly suspension, sway bars, exhaust, etc. The original paint was very thin and I was beginning to see some surface rust to the car was repainted the original colors. I disliked the vinyl top and instead I painted the roof a satin metallic green. I did my best to prevent doing irreversible modifications in case someone would want the car to be completely stock someday. Due to the suspension and rolling stock upgrades this car handles and stops like nobody's business. I would not be embarrassed to take it to a track.

How good does it run and drive? Well, I have driven it to Detroit, Philidelphia, and it has been driven in the city of Pittsburgh regularly and it has never skipped a beat. This would make a great Hot Rod Power Tour Car as it has real street manners, looks great and gets 18-21 MPG. The 302 engine runs STRONG and is essentially stock. It does not use any fluids, make any unusual noises and I has lots of life left. I had planned for a stroker motor but the car always runs perfectly, so why mess with what works so well. I can compare it to my other car that has a supposedly rebuilt and modified 351W, and this car runs a lot better.

I am ready to undertake a bigger project car that I have wanted since childhood so I must sacrifice one to a new owner.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions. Sorry, I have no interest in trades and no financing, you pay in cash or certified check that has to clear. If you have an eBay feedback of zero or less, you MUST contact me before bidding. This is a no reserve auction. This car is for sale locally, I have the right as the seller to end this auction at any time. I have sold nearly a dozen antique cars on eBay and am familiar with selling overseas/long distance buyers and will cooperate to make it as smooth as possible for you.

Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.

Autoblog Podcast #317:

Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell revisit bitter F1 rivalry in... Ford Fusion campaign?

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Formula One World Champions Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell haven't been on good terms since the 1986 season, when Piquet joined Mansell at the Williams team and Piquet spent the year privately fuming about not being granted the status of number one driver. Things only got worse from there - even though Piquet won the title the following year with Williams, still partnered with Mansell, the fuming was a lot less private.
They're back together after a 25-year silence, in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil to drive the new Ford Fusion. Called "Fusion Grand Prix," both men get the new Ford sedan, prepped to their liking - but still street legal, we assume - for a race to decide... well, who is faster behind the wheel of a Fusion.
There will be four episodes, with the first two having already aired. The third episode comes on January 29 and the race happens February 5. You'll find two video episodes and a press release below, but note - because it's a campaign for Ford Brazil, Piquet's dialogue in the vids isn't translated, so hit the Closed Captioning button to hear his side of the smack talking.
