Up for bid is my 1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport Fastback. This Torino has been well cared for with few owners. I am currently the 3rd owner. I purchased this Torino from Alabama 13 years ago with 54,000 original miles on it. To my knowledge this car was purchased new in Alabama and stayed there until I brought it to Mississippi. This was my first car and a daily driver for me for many years. It has actually been the most dependable vehicle I've owned, which is quite funny considering the age. The car was repainted back the original color around 11 years ago and shortly after won the only car show I ever entered it in. But being an every day driver it does have some wear on the paint such as chips, fades, and flakes which are all minor. The cars interior is mostly original from the factory. This is the sport interior with bucket seats and automatic in the floor console. I'm not much of a bench seat fan for my sports cars. I did replace the carpet which is now faded a bit but that's a simple fix. The seats are original but have just a few seams starting to separate. the headliner also has a small separation of a few inches in the back corner. Other than that the interior is in great original shape. The dash is crack free which is a big deal. The door panels, console, and everything else is well preserved also. As for the body there are a few small rust spots on the passenger side and some on the chrome. Also some minor damage to the passenger rear corner which mostly just chipped the paint more than anything. None of these I would consider major. Other than that the body is excellent! All gaps line up perfect. The doors, hood, and trunk all close very easily and smoothly with the push of a finger. All of the windows are in working order and all of the glass is without a crack, chip, peck or blemish anywhere. The trunk is solid and includes the original Polyglas GT spare. The lights and signals are all in great condition. This Torino has been driven less than 100 miles since the carburetor and tires were replaced new. Also, the dual exhaust (although original) sounds great. This car currently has 82,166 actual miles on it and a NADA average retail of over $11,000.00. I also have some extra emblems and a few other things that will go with the car. This is a rare find. Bid with confidence. Congratulations to the winning bidder!

2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of
Tue, 17 Dec 2013One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
