Up for your consideration of ownership is about the cleanest 1972 Ford Torino 4 door.  Yes it’s a 4 door but it sure is sweet!  This car is super solid and only has 51,400 miles. Perfect for an entry level collector car or a great daily driver for that collector who cannot get enough and who doesn’t want to drive their 2 door, convertible or collectable daily.  This is my fathers car and we are selling it because his 55 Thunderbird has taken up the garage spot.  Storage has been lost to the little bird. 

New parts on the 72 less than 1100 miles ago.  $2100 invested into my dad’s car to make it a good diver…..Little did I know he would rather drive a t-bird convertible! HAHA.

All of these new parts were put on last year and then the car was parked.  To be a good daily driver or ready for shows you will need to put new tires on the car.  They have plenty of tread but they are dry.  I drive the car around the neighborhood but wouldn’t go any further than that due to their dryness.   Also when you purchase you do need to trailer the car.  Tires are dry and fuel is old.   I would drain the tank and have fresh fuel added.  Sometimes the car starts to miss due to bad fuel we believe.  It had almost a full tank of fuel that is over a year old.  I try to run the car and drive it around as much as I can when I get time.  I just simply do not have the time to change the fuel out or spend any time working on the car.  I have 3 restoration projects currently. 

 

Please look closely at these pictures.  The paint on this car is SUPER NICE!  It appears some parts have been repainted but they did a great job!  The front seat has had some rips so there is tape on the seat.  Again, I would love to recover the seat but im just too busy.  The headliner is super nice, door pannles like new!  Doors open and close like new.  Windows work.  Heat is hot!  Wipers wipe perfectly!  Lights work, indicators, etc! The pictures are very high resolution so look at how nice everything is.  NO RUST though the floors, trunk or frame.  This looks like a southern car.  But you will have that when garage kept like this one! 

I can deliver this car for you as I have a diesel truck and a trailer.  It would be fairly expensive though. 

New tires, new fuel – you have one kick butt car for a super great price!

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"

Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.

2015 Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Considered the big kick off of the major festivities surrounding Monterey Car Week, this year's Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival certainly didn't disappoint. For those unable to make it to the California coast, our own Drew Phillips was on hand to snap some of the beautiful vehicles on display for this gorgeous gallery. Held annually at the Monterey Jet Center, the event is always a feast for the eyes by collecting planes, a gang of exotic supercars, and some the top cars crossing the auction block over the coming days, like a Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible. The Ford GT both new and old was a major attendee at this year's party. Among them, the Petersen Museum brought along an original racecar and a GT40 MKIII to promote an upcoming exhibit. The classics were complimented by the latest version that has continued to keep tongues wagging. The GT wasn't the only classic with a modern update there. Singer used the posh event for the North American debut of its stunning restoration of the Porsche 911 Targa. Shelby American was also at the revival for the public unveiling of the 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupe. On the more modern front, Honda was in attendance with the future NSX and one of the McLaren F1 cars that the company's engine powers. For further proof of the ritzy folks that attend this soiree, Pagani and Koenigsegg both had stands to show off their extremely quick wares.
