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.

Forza Horizon 3 car list keeps on truckin'

Tue, Aug 9 2016

We've covered three weeks of car reveals for Forza Horizon 3, and this time we get a better look at the trucks, SUVs and other off-roaders you'll be able to use to explore Australia. This week's list kicks things off with two of the most legendary off-roaders in the world, the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser and the Meyers Manx. They have different purposes; the FJ40 is for tough trail work and the Manx is for some light-hearted beach fun. But no one could deny the cultural importance of either. And both should be a blast in Horizon 3. In addition to this pair of classics, players will have a chance to get behind the wheel of both a race version of the Ford F-150 Raptor and its closest rival, the Ram Runner. And when traditional vehicles start to get boring, why not take out a full-blown Baja racer such as the Penhall Cholla or the Rockstar energy drink version of the little Polaris RZR XP 1000 side-by-side? Forza Horizon 3 is shaping up to have one of the most diverse car lists in a racing game in a long time. There are still cars left to be revealed, so stay tuned for further installments and see this week's full list below. 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth 2013 Ford Focus ST 1973 Ford Escort RS1600 1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase III 2014 Ford Fiesta ST 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Race Truck 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 1986 Lancia Delta S4 2009 Lexus IS F 1957 Maserati 300 S 1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata 1967 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series 1971 Meyers Manx 2012 Mini John Cooper Works GP 1998 Nissan R390 1979 Opel Kadett C GT/E 2011 Penhall The Cholla 1971 Plymouth Cuda 426 Hemi 2015 Polaris RZR XP 1000 EPS Rockstar Edition 2013 Ram Runner 1993 Renault Clio Williams 1990 Subaru SVX 1979 Toyota FJ40 2005 TVR Sagaris 1990 Vauxhall Lotus Carlton Related Video: News Source: Playground Games / MicrosoftImage Credit: Playground Games / Microsoft Auto News Toys/Games Ford RAM Toyota forza exclusive ford f-150 raptor forza horizon forza horizon 3 toyota fj40 meyers manx

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.

How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.
