1974 Gran Torino you will ever find anywhere!!!!!!
 This is a replica/tribute car made famous by the TV series "Starsky and Hutch", that great 1970's police drama made famous by its weekly appearance. #11 on "Edmund's 100 Most Popular TV and Movie Cars Ever",
this replica is a one of a kind. It has been professionally restored down to every nut and bolt, every Chrome  part re-plated for that final show car  OEM look. This Thirty-one thousand original mile car is from California, a rust free purchased in July of 2013  from a A little old Lady which was  Modesto and not Pasadena. It has been completely disassembled, repainted, and painstakingly restored using the most current technique--such as soda blasting the trunk and floor pans underneath the entire and frame. Painted back to the original design, if not  better than  it was done from the factory. We didn't find necessary to soda blast the entire car because it was is such good shape to start with . The frame was completely disassembled, blasted and then powder coated Including all parts like  , inner, fenders skirts, core support motor pulls and brackets and to many to list . 
   All suspension parts  were replaced down to inner and outer tie rods, bushings , ball joints, drive shaft joints, brakes and rear axle were disassembled and all bearings replaced. Then the rear axle was powder coated.  The entire interior was replaced new and the list goes on and on. As for the wheels they are appliance brand which was used on the original "Starsky and Hutch" car. Even the tires are period authentic Goodyear bias ply.
   The paint job and stripe are identical styling to the one on the 1976 car as seen on season three and four except one detail, the color is Viper red and not 2B as it came from Ford-- this mean The color is More red but to the naked eye cant be detected .
Thousands of dollars of NOS " New Old Stock "  Ford parts we sought after and installed to make this as accurate a restoration as anyone could possibly do . The motor was not touched because of the low mileage and already ran so well, why mess with a good thing, but the Transmission has been rebuilt and shift kit  was installed along with new original Style Stainless Exhaust, polished from the axel back to bumpers to a brilliant chrome type look . Everything that was  possible to make this one make this the most amazing example of a Top Flight or Concourse type Restoration. And might be considered museum quality but for sure a true Show Car !
   The stripes are clear coated to the point where you can't even feel them and the paint is Buffed to mirror shine. Last but not least all, moldings have been refurbished, polished and painted where and how they came from the factory to the highest quality possible. No Money $$$ was spared in this restoration and here you have the opportunity of a lifetime to Bid or buy the most one of the most iconic cars ever, as well as an amazing restored car anyone would be envious of.

2014 Ford Transit Connect configurator fires up for the whole family

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The second-generation Ford Transit Connect is almost upon us, and to get work- and family-oriented customers ready for the new model, Ford has launched a configurator for both van and wagon versions. Both body styles will go on sale early next year with the base TC Van starting at $22,000, but customers wanting side windows and rear seats will have to pony up at least an extra $3,000 for the TC Wagon.
Ford is definitely looking to get back into the family van business with the 2014 TC Wagon offering three available trim levels, two engines and the choice between five- and seven-passenger seating (with two wheelbases). Like many recent Ford products, a fancy Titanium trim level is offered, and opting for it will cost you - this trim starts at $29,000, and we were able to spec it out with a panoramic roof, tow package and front and rear parking sensors for a little over $33,000.
Businesses looking for a small, fuel-efficient work vehicle now get more options on the TC Van like the choice of split, hinged rear doors or a liftgate (with or without glass), a long wheelbase ($1,000) and Ford's CrewChief vehicle tracking system ($925). Fully loaded, this van is still costs less than the fullsize E-Series. On both Van and Wagon, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine is a $795 option, but it is only offered on short-wheelbase models and Ford has yet to release power or fuel economy specs yet. With the standard 2.5-liter engine, the TC will get up to 21 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.

Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.
