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.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW tests AdBlue pumps, Drivr is a Tesla taxi service

Thu, Jan 22 2015

BMW is testing AdBlue pumps in Germany. AdBlue fluid is used to remove NOx from diesel exhaust, and it is stored in its own tank within the vehicle. Filling AdBlue is easy enough for drivers to do it themselves, and with the proliferation of diesel vehicles in Europe, a pump filling system could make more sense than using the current hand-held containers. BMW is testing AdBlue pumps at three fueling stations in Munich and Berlin to help develop further AdBlue dispenser technology. Read more at Green Car Congress. Drivr Green Personal Transportation is a Tesla taxi service in Cincinnati. Two former employees of Tesla Motors founded the startup, which bills itself alongside ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. Customers book a ride online, and are picked up by a Tesla Model S. The ride costs $2.50 per mile with a $15 minimum. Drivr currently operates three cars with seven drivers, with plans to lease another 10 Teslas and employ up to 30 drivers. The service will also be expanding to Denver soon, according to the website. Learn more at the Drivr website, or read more at Clean Technica. Ford is opening a research and development facility in Silicon Valley. The Ford Research & Innovation Center, which will be located less than three miles from Tesla Motors headquarters in Palo Alto, California, is expected to be one of the automotive industry's largest R&D facilities. "We're driving to be both a product and a mobility company, and ultimately to change the way the world moves," says Ford CEO Mark Fields. Read more at Automotive News. Law firms advising Fisker Automotive have been denied a $2.50-million fee enhancement in the car company's bankruptcy. Brown Rudnick LLP and Saul Ewing LLP were denied the extra fees, as a Delaware bankruptcy judge ruled there is "no evidence" that the firms provided anything more than what they originally expected. In denying the fee enhancement, the judge cited a "very high bar" for such awards. Read more at Law360.

Ford Fiesta RS with 250 horsepower mooted

Thu, Jan 29 2015

We know Ford is unveiling a new Focus RS on February 3, and it's heavily rumored to arrive brandishing an all-wheel-drive powertrain and as much as 350 horsepower. The folks at Ford Performance have also promised they are working on at least 12 models through 2020, and that still leaves a lot of time to get additional exciting vehicles out the door. One of those could be an RS version of the Fiesta, according to Evo. An RS take on the latest Fiesta would obviously need substantial boosts in both power and handling ability to warrant the work over the current top Fiesta ST (pictured above), which is already one of our favorite cars. Evo speculates that the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder could be tuned further, possibly up to about 250 horsepower, and the high-performance hatch might even take some inspiration from the Fiesta WRC rally car with an all-wheel drive system. An unnamed Ford spokesperson remained cagey about the chances for the pint-sized hot hatch to Evo, though. "We can't say anything at this moment, but we have promised to produce 12 performance models in the coming years. We'll leave it for you to decide whether that includes a Fiesta at this moment," the source said to the magazine. Evo doesn't expect a launch across the pond until at least 2017, if it actually happens. Of course, there's the lingering question of whether such a niche project would work in the US. In Europe, the Fiesta RS would challenge similarly diminutive speedsters like the Volkswagen Polo R and Audi S1, but true competitors of an equivalent size here would be much more scarce. In fact with 250 hp, the hotter Fiesta could provide unwelcome competition within Blue Oval showrooms for the Focus ST.

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
