1971 Torino Station Wagon. 40000 original miles. This car is rust free! And in all original condition! When is the last time you even saw one, let alone in this condition! Don't get me wrong, there are a few imperfections. There are a couple of dings and small dents on the car. And there are some paint touch ups, but after all, it's 43 years old! The paint was pretty dull, so I took it over to a professional detailer, and it really came out pretty darn nice!

The car runs and drives great! (well I mean for a 43 year old car). It has the 250 straight six with a C-4 Automatic. And a 9" (station wagons got the 9" rearend as standard equipment) with 3:00 gears. (car gets great gas mileage).

The interior is in very nice condition. No rips or tears in the seats, a couple of small holes in the headliner. The dash pad has one small spot on it. The rear cargo area is very nice, usually wagons were beat up back there. It doesn't have the third row seats. Everything works too! Radio, lights, turn signals, horn, etc. (I put in all new LED bulbs in the dash board lights). Car also has the rubber flooring and not carpet.

I have never found any rust on this car. Typical to Station wagons, usually the tailgates are rotted out, not this car! (see pic's). Also the spare tire storage area's are usually rotted, but not on this car!

The rear power window only works from the inside, and it needs someone to help it up and down while someone runs the switch. The rear key switch on the rear door handle doesn't work at all.

Car comes with the original 14" wheels and hubcaps with brand new tires. Also included are 15" Magnum 500's (tires really should be replaced)

All options are listed on the Marti Report, and everything matches to the car.

I recently showed the car at the Fairlane National's and it took a 3rd place in the 1971 Torino Class!

You are more than welcome to come and inspect the car, or have someone else look at it, and I highly recommend it. I have sold cars on ebay in the past, and have had no complaints.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of things, so if you have any questions, please call Ron @ 734 735 2260. I prefer calls or text, as I don't always check my email

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.

Ford 1.0L EcoBoost 3-Cylinder: Autoblog Technology of the Year award finalist

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

As the old saying goes, "There's no replacement for displacement." But these days, many automakers are launching powerful, downsized engines that offer similar or better power output than their predecessors, all while offering improvements in fuel economy and emissions. These days, we're seeing automakers replacing eight-cylinder engines with turbocharged sixes, and the naturally aspirated six-cylinder motors are being phased out in favor of potent turbo fours. But Ford has gone even smaller, offering a three-cylinder, turbocharged engine with one single liter of displacement.
Sure, three-cylinder engines aren't anything new - they've been offered around the globe for ages. But Ford's EcoBoost 1.0L powerplant is perhaps the best application the Autoblog team has tested. Gone are the triple-cylinder complaints of yore - this engine doesn't sound anemic or buzzy, and there's healthy power output on tap. In fact, compared to the 1.6-liter inline-four that Ford also offers in the Fiesta, the 1.0-liter is more powerful, while boasting an impressive 45 miles per gallon on the highway.
This engine has already received numerous accolades, including winning the International Engine of the Year award in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The 1.0L EcoBoost will be available in the refreshed 2015 Ford Focus here in the US.

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.
