Here it is! A classic and RARE 1971 Ford Torino GT Convertible in original grabber yellow.
This is an original California car that I purchased just over a year ago from a doctor a few hours away; he purchased it off of eBay in 2005 for nearly $12,500.00 we will let it sell at auction for an opening bid less than half of that!
This is a project car in the sense that it needs a little work and could be brought up to show status with someone with more time than I have. I am an Antiques and Art dealer that has recently acquired a new building and have many shows that I travel to; as well as a wife, two daughters, etc..., I simply don't have the time to pursue this car at this point in my life.
The Torino starts and runs, but idles rough with shaking at times and runs very rich (maybe the carb needs rebuilt?), transmission is fine, but this will need a good tuneup (new battery and spark plug wires have been installed, but that's as far as it got). You will need to transport the vehicle on a trailer until you get these things done. I am nowhere near a car expert so this is being sold "as is where is". I literally bought the car, drove it around the block and put it in the garage for the last year :( Regular maintenance looks to have been done on the vehicle and I have a large book of paperwork from the past owners, as well as the original invoice! Car also has extra parts in the trunk, including a pair of NOS racing mirrors that the last owner purchased for $420 when he bought the vehicle back in '05. Cosmetically (please see condition report) there are some shallow dents and with the largest on the front right fender, some scratches, paint worn off the top of the driver door where someone rubbed their watch back and forth for years, the radio is in the glovebox, a small damaged spot on the right side of the grill, missing the Torino badge on the hood, general wear from a vehicle of this age, but overall it looks very nice; no rust; people will love this car just as it sits, but with the right elbow grease and time you could have yourself a $30,000 muscle car.
RARE, they only made 1,613 of these in 1971, this is a true collectors car at an extremely reasonable price. This car has NO RESERVE and will sell to the highest bidder; no games.
Again, the car has been sitting for the last year in my garage and should be bought as a project, just so you are not expecting a show quality, but with the possibility of getting there.

So basically this is in my garage (as you can see from the pictures!) and is being offered at a very low opening bid with NO RESERVE and will sell to the highest bidder no matter how much I lose. If you are looking for a rare 1971 Torino Convertible here it is!
You will need to pick up the vehicle from my location or arrange a shipper to pick it up (USHIP is great).
That's it, a great American Classic that should be brought back to it's glory, have fun and don't miss out.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Bill Ford op-ed argues we can't just build and sell more of the same cars
Thu, 10 Jul 2014It's hardly a secret that the auto industry is undergoing an enormous, tectonic shift in the way it thinks, builds cars and does business. Between alternative forms of energy, a renewed focus on low curb weights and aerodynamic bodies, the advent of driverless and autonomous cars and the need to reduce the our impact on the environment, it's very likely that the car that's built 10 years down the line will be scarcely recognizable when parked next to the car from 10 years ago.
Few people are as able to explain the industry's many upcoming changes and challenges as clearly as William Clay Ford, Jr., better known as Bill Ford. The 57-year-old currently sits as the executive chairman of the company his great-grandfather, Henry Ford, founded over 110 years ago.
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Ford explains that the role of automakers is, necessarily, going to change to suit the needs of the future world. That means changing the view of not just the automobile, but the automaker. As Ford explains it, automakers will "move from being just car and truck manufacturers to become personal-mobility companies."
