Brant, Michigan, United States
1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport Starsky & Hutch Clone project ---NO RESERVE--- Details: 351 Cleveland 2v engine.... Runs good Automatic floor console shift Factory Air Conditioning Factory Tachometer gauge package Black interior Q-code car - Originally red Condition: Currently in primer Body work done by previous owner Brand new rear air shocks New Battery cables Correct aluminum "peanut" mags front an rear to complete movie car clone RUNS AND DRIVES!!!!! I bought this car with the intentions of recreating the movie car from Starsky and Hutch. I searched and found the correct rims and I even have the magnet mount police light. The body work was all done by its previous owner. The hood had a fiberglass cowl screwed to it which I removed. The hood underneath was uncut and in good shape. There are a couple small screw holes which need to be filled before paint. The drivers front fender has a small ding in the front near the headlight bucket. Between purchase and pickup, it got bumped into. It's and easy pop-out and I have new bucket for it. All the glass is good. The interior is complete and in decent shape. It's currently removed for paint prep but all in the car. The bumpers are good and will polish up nicely. All the trim is there as well with the exception of the drip rails. I really don't want to sell the car. But, I need to put the money in other places. This is an opportunity for someone to own a bad-ass hot rod or show car for a reasonable price. Not everyone can afford $50,000 hot rods like fast & loud! Title is clear and open and in hand. I will accept a $200.00 deposit via paypal within 24 hours just to cover Ebay's outrageous fees. I'll accept the balance in cash. Must be paid for within 3 days unless we come to other verbal agreements. I may be able to deliver for a fee. Sold as-is, where-is. |

Reflecting on the Ford GT on its 10-year anniversary
Thu, 10 Apr 2014Ten years ago, during the bright-eyed enthusiasm of the early 2000s and before the collective automotive industry did its best Titanic impression, we had the Ford GT. An everyman's supercar like there'd never been (remember, this was before 638-horsepower Corvettes were a thing), the GT arrived with a supercharged, 5.4-liter V8 that produced 550 horsepower and graced this retro-styled rocket with an easy, sub-four-second sprint to 60 miles per hour.
Equal to the GT's performance were its looks. Inspired by the GT40 racers that dominated Le Mans and bested Ferrari in the 1960s, the sleek, low, almost-reptilian look of the GT was the absolute pinnacle of the retro styling that so defined the early 2000s.
Crank and Piston put together a video celebrating the ten-year-old GT, arguing that Ford is a bit too busy with the next-gen Mustang, which turns 50 next week, to do it themselves. In the short clip, there is gratuitous engine noise and supercharger whine, not to mention scenes of the white-on-red GT prowling the deserts and streets of Dubai. It's a bit short, but very nicely shot. Scroll down, have a look and be sure to turn up those speakers before getting started.
2015 Ford F-150 enters production
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Ford has given the F-150 a dramatic makeover for 2015, switching to an aluminum body that helps reduce weight by about 700 pounds. Because the truck is dramatically different, Ford also had to change the way it makes the F-150, so we went inside its sprawling factory in Dearborn, MI, this week to see the Blue Oval's new manufacturing techniques in action.
The company has added 850 jobs at the site and upgraded its stamping and tool and die facilities. The body shop is also modernized, and it has been fitted with 500 new robots that join the structures together. The first 2015 F-150 rolled off the line on Tuesday, and the trucks will begin arriving in dealerships in December. Get a closer look at the F-150's unique assembly process in our video.
Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years
Wed, 01 May 2013While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
