1972 Gran Torino Sport. 460cu in motor (from a 1973 Ford Thunderbird), originally 2v 351 Cleveland.
C-6 automatic.
Power steering.
A/C
Magnum 500 rim with new Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires w/less than 500 miles on them.
Tilt steering column as an extra part.
A/C compressor and drier as extra parts.
Power brake pedal, booster, and associated parts for conversion to power brakes included as extra parts.
Restored Rally instrument cluster with 2 bezels and harness included as extra parts.

This vehicle is in great shape, it does have some minor problems, such as some previous rust spots in the lower rear quarter panels near the wheel well, which are not actively rusting/the rust was treated and stopped, but repairs have yet to be made. Also the steering pump could stand to be replaced.

The interior has been redone with NOS material (the front seat), the back seat is original and is beginning to suffer on the top near the package tray, but extra material will go with the car for when and if that ever needs to be done. There is a crack in the dash pad.

The front bumper has been newly chromed, the rear bumper is in good shape but could stand to be re-chromed in the future.

The body is in good shape and has some minor chips here and there. The paint is holding up well, I believe this to be the second paint job, and is nearing time for a third, but polished up well and could easily last 10 more years if the car is kept in a garaged place, as it is now. The car does not get driven in bad weather, unless I am out driving and a sudden rain takes place. Never driven in snow or during the winter, as a matter of fact.

The car drives and tracks very well, it is really fun to cruise in. The engine is strong, lots of torque, burns no oil, the only problem I have experienced is I think the left side header needs a header gasket replaced.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.

Time to catch up with Jay Leno's Garage, including his Lamborghini Espada restoration

Tue, Dec 23 2014

If you're already jealous of the time, effort and money that Jay Leno can devote to his massive car collection, prepare to get a little greener with envy with this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. Instead of the usual format of discussing a model for about ten minutes and then taking it out for a test drive, this week Leno gives viewers on a tour of over a dozen projects concurrently happening in his stable. The breadth of the vehicles shown and the things being done to them run the entire span of the automotive hobby. At the same time, Jay's shop is working on just a simple restoration of his 1969 Lamborghini Espada (pictured), and at the other side of the building, the team is rebuilding a wood-bodied 1914 Detroit Electric from scratch. He eventually plans to slot a more modern electric drivetrain into it. If bikes are more your interest, there's a freshly completed Brough Superior just waiting for a ride, and if American models are your thing, a Ford Bronco is getting a Coyote V8 installed into it. You have some very specific tastes if you can't watch this clip and start wishing at least one of these vehicles could be in your own garage. Other than the personal projects his mechanics are working on in the shop, Jay gets to have them all, plus plenty more.

Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines

Mon, 27 May 2013

Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
