1974 Ford Gran Torino Sport.

Car runs and drives great and would make for a wonderful daily driver, weekend car, or an easy restoration project. I'll breakdown the rest for easy reading.

The Good:

-Two door
-Garage kept
-No rust
-Low miles (78,000)
-Great interior
-New tires
-New alternator
-Brand new carpet
-Interior is near perfect
-Chrome is all there and in great condition
-Runs strong
-Does not require smog
-Paint is good and original (one problem area on hood, see pictures)
-No peeling or damage to the vinyl top (read more about the vinyl top below)
-Unique classic car (people always stop to look and talk about it)

The Bad:

-There's some surface rust on the left hand side of the hood (see pics). Luckily the hood comes off easy so if you choose to repaint it it won't cost much. If you are handy you might elect to do it yourself.
-There's a small ding on the right fender lip. It's subtle and would be an easy fix. (see pics, but it's hard to make out)
-Slight paint discoloration where an old bumper sticker used to be. (see pics)

Other Info:

The vinyl roof is in great condition and has been properly taken care of, however if you would rather have a hardtop you are in luck, because  the conversion is supposedly simple, however I can not say for certain, as the vinyl has never been replaced or removed.

I've read testimonials saying that once you remove the vinyl that it's just a matter of removing the glue and then you are good to go, and I've read others that say that the top will need paint afterward. I guess Ford did the vinyl tops differently over time. There's a few Torino and Starsky and Hutch fan sites on the web that may be able to further assist you if you decide to do the conversion.

Other:

Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel the auction early.

You can make an appointment to come see the car, just need a days notice.

I check my mail frequently, so feel free to ask any questions at any time.

Won't ship the car for you, but will work with shippers if you decide to go that route. 

Payment:

Cash, credit card, wire, or Paypal.



Thanks for looking, happy bidding!

Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]

Wed, 04 Jun 2014



The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.

Ford and Mercedes join Renault in French emissions investigation

Thu, Jan 21 2016

The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:

Hear the 2015 Mustang GT V8 roar for the first time

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

Our combined knowledge of the 2015 Ford Mustang continues to deepen, as spy shooters have begun to compile video and audio of the upcoming sixth-generation car.
Case in point is this latest series of video clips, which not only gives us a great vantage point of the Mustang in motion, but also allows us to hear the Ford V8 engine and exhaust. After perusing the aural delights of this short video, which, admittedly, doesn't catch the Mustang GT at full song, we can at least say that the throaty exhaust isn't disappointing.
Chances are good that the 2015 Mustang GT will debut with some version of the current (and excellent) Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine, though we're unclear as to whether or not the motor has been massaged for its next-gen debut, or what may have been done to exhaust plumbing. At this point, we're just happy to hear the pony run. Scroll below to hear for yourself.
