1971 Ford Torino GT for sale. This car is equipped with 351 Cleveland, TCI C4 transmission, and the original 9 inch rear with 2.75 gears. The Cleveland is a 2V, but now it has a weiand 4V intake and a 750 CFM AFB Carter competition carb. The engine also has Duraspark ignition with a Mallory profire coil. The exhaust exits threw full length headers into 2 1/2" exhaust, with Flowmaster mufflers. The engine has a larger cam, with a healthy idle, and much more power than it came with from the factory. Should be somewhere in the low 400's. With a steeper set of gears, this car would really fly, but right now, it's not so bad on fuel. The transmission is a C4 built by TCI. It also has a Streetfighter 3000 RPM stall converter.

The car has front disc brakes with slotted rotors, power steering with a brand new Borgeson steering box and a brand new Saginaw power steering pump, brand new front shocks and springs, and new Roller spring perches. The car drives more like a modern car with the new steering box and roller spring perches. The 9" rear has factory drum brakes and Lakewood traction bars. There is a driveshaft loop installed under the car too.

The body of the car is very nice. The rear quarter panels were changed at some point, and the car was painted at the same time. It has the factory style laser stripes, which are reflective like the originals, installed on the car. The wheels are American Racing and the tires are Firestone Firehawks. Both front and rear bumpers were replaced with re-chromed ones that look really good. The front grill is in very good shape and even the chrome on top of the doors is nice for it's age.

The interior is black with the original headliner and rear seat. The front seats and console appear to be from a 72-73 Torino. A full set of gauges are installed in the dash, and there is a tach on the steering column, right behind the Grant steering wheel.

Things that need attention. There is a slight leak at the transmission pan, so it looks like it could use a new gasket. The radio doesn't work, but you would probably want to change it, unless you have a great collection of cassettes! Small rust hole in the rear valance panel. The floor pans have a couple rust holes and so does the battery tray area, (as a lot of these cars do). The car does come with new sheet metal for this area. Floor pan sections are available on Ebay and in many catalogs too. Torque boxes are fine. The wiper motor is new, but not working, so could be an issue with a fuse? Maybe the same fuse for the radio?

This isn't my car. I'm selling it for a friend. If you have any questions, please feel free to send them along. If you want PICTURES of any other area of the car, let me know, and try to include your email address, so I can send them to you. The car comes with a NY state transferable registration and a Bill of Sale.

Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
