I love the car but just don't have the time anymore to devote to it. Car needs to go to a new home where she will be driven and enjoyed.
1971 Ford Torino GT "M" Code 351C 4Vw/C6 Automatic This is an original Virginia car. I purchased the car from Carlisle at Ford Nationals two years ago off of a guy that had just bought it himself. He purchased the car from a woman here in Virginia that inherited the car from her mother. Her mother was the original owner of the car and it was originally purchased in Virginia. Original GT "M" code 351C 4v car still has the original motor and original C6 trans. The paint job on the car was a respray done by the original owner about 8 years ago. It was a budget respray and is showing typical signs of wear. If you look closely you can see some alligatoring of the paint on one of the fenders. It is a good 10 footer driver quality paint job. All of the chrome has typical pitting and scratches as to be expected and would need to be rechromed to be perfect. The front right corner of the bumper sits higher than the left, the bumper is not damaged so I believe this is and adjustment issue with the bumper brackets. Since I've had the car I have done the following: I changed the interior from the original Ivy Green to black. Got rid of the original bench seat and installed Procar Elite Lumbar bucket seats and recovered the back seat. The originial dash pad was cracked so I installed a black cover-lay over it. Installed new ACC cut pile carpet with Mass Back. Custom center console with iPod dock (for iPod Classic) with two Autometer gauges (the gauges have not been hooked up yet). I swapped out the old radio and installed a new Retrosound radio. I pulled the motor and trans, cleaned and resprayed the engine bay and cleaned up the motor. Installed a new Edelbrock Performer intake. Holley Street Avenger 670cfm carb. New MSD Ready-to-Run distributor. New MSD wires. New MSD Coil. Aluminum valve covers and air cleaner. Chrome oil pan. Chrome water pump. Chrome alternator. New fuel pump. Five spoke Ridler 695 wheels (18x8 front and 20x8.5 rear). New Waldron's 2.5" exhaust system. New Pypes Performance mufflers. New power steering control valve. New power steering pump and hoses. New power steering ram arm. New inner and outer tie rods, strut rod bushings and idler arm bushings. The car originally had manual front drum brakes. I upgraded the brakes to stock style front power disc with '70 Torino spindles. New refurbished brake booster. New master cylinder. New hard and soft brake lines for the font, and refurbished proportioning valve. The dome light is out of a 2001 Ford Explorer (This is a simple mod that is a nice restomod touch and provides significantly more light than the stock light) The steering wheel is an original Ford GT wheel out of a '78 Mustang (these wheels were in Ford cars and trucks from the late 70's through early 80's) I cut 1/2 coil off of each front coil spring to lower the front end slightly. New chrome trans pan. New rear trans seal. New front and rear u-joints.. I recently installed a new ignition switch and headlight switch, and now it needs a new key lock cylinder ($29 part through Dearborn Classics). The car starts and runs fine, you just have to be sure to turn the key backward slightly after it starts to disengage the starter motor. There are some minor dings on certain areas of the car but nothing major, just cosmetic. I've done my best to identify those in the pictures. Buyer is responsible for arranging pick up or shipping. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours after end of auction. Cash or certified bank check only. I have done everything to describe this car accurately. If you are unsure of anything please contact me to ask any questions. |

2013 Ford Explorer Sport
Thu, 04 Apr 2013When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.
Ford launches pair of recalls affecting fullsize sedans and Transit Connect van
Wed, Jan 28 2015Ford has announced a pair of pretty significant recalls affecting the 2010-2013 Ford Taurus and Police Interceptor, as well as their platform-mate, the Lincoln MKS. A separate recall covers the 2014 Transit Connect. The fullsize sedans include 205,000 vehicles built at Chicago Assembly over a variety of timeframes, ranging between December 1, 2009 and November 30, 2012. The vehicles, 194,889 of which were sold in the United States, have an issue with the spring controls on the interior door handles that could cause the door to open in a side-impact crash. The Transit Connect recall, meanwhile, includes 16,100 vans built between November 6, 2013 and September 20,2014 at the company's Valencia, Spain factory. In these vehicles, the seatbelt fasteners may not have been tightened properly, which could cause them to loosen over time, a condition that's obviously bad news in the event of a crash. Ford says it is not aware of any accidents, injuries or crashes in either recall. Owners will, of course, be notified and asked to report in for inspections and if necessary, free replacements. Scroll down for the full press release from Ford, which includes the complete breakdown of dates during which the affected sedans were built in Chicago. JAN 28, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS Ford is issuing two safety recalls. No accidents or injuries are attributed to either of these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans for interior door handle issue Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 205,000 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans due to an issue with the spring that controls the interior door handles. If the spring is unseated, the door may become unlatched in a side-impact crash, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus vehicles built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant; certain 2010-2013 Lincoln MKS vehicles built June 2, 2011 to Oct. 31, 2011 at Chicago Assembly Plant; and certain 2010-2013 Ford Police Interceptor sedans built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant.
