Up for auction this week is a 1972 FORD GRAN TORINO SPORT with a matching numbers drive train from the 351 Cleveland motor to the C-4 Transmission through to the 2.75 axle. Bone stock and all original this amazing automobile was taken down to bare metal and limited filler was used to get this car extremely straight. This Rust Free car was well cared for by a City of Kirkland Fire Chief for 42 years and this car shows the owner loved and cared and babied this car its entire life.
Ground down to bare metal. Metal conditioned prior to primer. Self etching primer was then applied. A PPG DP-90 sealed, then 5 coats of high build, then block sanded. 2 more coats of high build primer once again and block sanded once again. Then finish wet sanded with 600 grit prior to painting color. PPG Basecoat Clearcoat was applied professionally, have receipts to show and then the laser stripe was applied after paint had a chance to cure totally. The 351 Cleveland motor, which was rebuilt by previous owner, runs strong and tight and LEAKS NOTHING!!!!! What is that worth to you? Transmission, C-4, was rebuilt by previous owner and leaks nothing and shifts smoothly every time. Power steering, power disc brakes, new alternator, new battery and plugs and wires are also new. The gas tank was boiled and a new sending unit was installed. Some of the factory identifying tags are still on the engine, rear end, power steer pump and wiper motor. A new dual exhaust system was installed and has new quiet muffler and 2.5 inch exhaust pipes. Moving to the inside of the car, the seats are extremely nice both the front and rear. I doubt anyone has ever sat in the back seat. Door panels are scratch free and are in great condition. Dash Pad on the car is CRACK FREE!!!!!!!!!! All lights work on this car. Headlights high and low, turn signals, license plate light even works. Dash lights and turn signals all work. The windows all roll up and down freely with out any noise or grinding. Both doors up and close and lock perfectly. Both high and low wiper motor works. Heater core was replaced along with a new dash heater switch and heater resistor are new. Stock radio is present and looks great but is not hooked up but wiring for it is present. The new black vinyl top was installed professionally by the guys at Auto Dynamix in Bellevue as well as the windows being re-sealed. Top is crisp and clean and is tight on the roof. The vinyl top trim was buffed and painted to refresh the look. The trunk on the car has been restored to factory fresh appearance with factory looking splatter paint applied and clear coated to protection and durability. Both the engine and trunk compartments have been detailed and are clean. Magnum 500 chrome rims with NEW Cooper 225 70 14's are on the car with new Gran Torino center caps and new lug nuts. Car rides on these rims and tires. The chrome shine on the front and rear bumpers are still amazing looking. Maybe at one time the original owner had the bumpers rechromed OR the car had to be in a garage its entire life to still have a gorgeous chrome shine to both bumpers. Straight and clean thees bumpers even have the bumperette's on them and they look great too. The car was undercoated heavily from the factory probably since the car was built in Seattle. The undercoating has preserved the underside of the car. Original Owner must have check the box of options of heavy undercoating to the option list. This undercoating is not something out of a spray can. This car has had quite a overhauling and it shows. I can assist you with shipping transportation for the vehicle. I have used Royal Auto Transport, not to be confused with Royal Auto Movers, they suck, but Ameer and his mom run a tight ship and they will try hard to get you the best quote for your car shipping needs. Please feel free to call, text, or email me on any and all questions you may have on this breath taking car. Clint Eastwood himself would Oooooo and Awwwwww over this piece of automobile history. Be the next guy on your block to get the two thumbs up were ever you go. This car gets attention just sitting in a parking spot. Please call me at 425-454-6629 my name is Mike and i would love to chat at great lengths on this car. I've tried hard to the best of my ability to describe this car as honestly as i can. The last thing i want is someone who is not totally satisfied when they get this car. The car speaks volumes by itself. Fly in and see it or send someone to check it out. Nothing to hide here. This car is simply amazing and i hate to sell it but i cant keep them all. Thanks again for checking out this car and have a great day! |

2015 Ford F-150 to get 2.7-liter EcoBoost?
Mon, 30 Dec 2013As we prepare for the arrival of the all-new, next-generation Ford F-150, rumors about the new truck are picking up steam. Naturally, many of said rumors aren't just related to the way the truck will look (it's expected to take design cues from the Atlas concept shown above), they're tied to what's going to motivate the Blue Oval mainstay, with Ford's EcoBoost range likely to play an increasingly key role. While we're still expecting the current 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 to retain its position as a premium alternative to Ford's naturally aspirated V6 and V8, a Canadian automotive news site is proposing that the Dearborn automaker is also preparing a new, more fuel-efficient downsized EcoBoost option.
Autos.ca is reporting that a new, 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 could find its way into the lighter, aluminum-intensive truck. The new engine supposedly makes use of asymmetrical turbos to generate 320 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque - substantially more impressive numbers than the current 3.7-liter base engine's 302 ponies and 278 lb-ft - while offering improved fuel economy and emissions. The new 2.7 EcoBoost (internally dubbed "Nano") isn't expected to supplant the naturally aspirated V6 as the F-150's base engine, it's expected to slot in above directly it.
Naturally, we're prescribing more than a few grains of salt to go with these rumors, at least until Ford debuts the next F-150 at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, a reveal we'll be covering in a mere two weeks.
Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely
Fri, 29 Aug 2014When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.
