Here is my 1974 Ford Gran Torino Starsky & Hutch clone. She is a very nice car that runs and drives well and has only 34k original miles on her. She is not a perfect restored car, rather a very, very nice original that was garage-kept for most of her life. She runs and drives wonderfully and is a pleasure to drive. She was painted at my direction with the correct paint codes and with the template for the stripe, so it has the correct shape and contour. She was done in the more expensive and more durable two-stage paint (base cloat/clear coat) rather than single stage. The paint and body are beautiful as you can see in the pictures. She was not an opera window car, so she has the correct interior panels inside the C pillar.
She is the most complete original Gran Torino I have ever owned – and I’ve had 4 of these. She has original items that most others are missing – like: All 4 original FORD rubber “Torino” script floor mats, the original taillight gaskets (metal & rubber pieces that usually disappear when the car is painted), original hood insulation with the washer lines and nozzles still in place, original build sheet, original jack and bias-ply spare tire, fuel filler pipe cover (I have never seen another one of these), original front license plate bracket (usually gone), still has un-painted original stone deflector dividers at the front (most had been painted over by now), trunk dropoff cardboard panels, etc. She still has her 1975 Ohio state patrol inspection sticker on the windshield. I will even include the original set of (4) Torino hubcaps with the car. All the gauges work, fuel, temp, etc – radio plays perfectly, horn works, wipers and washer, etc. The 351w 2v engine runs well and has a silent valve train. She is completely un-modified; still sporting her 2100 2v carburetor, automatic transmission and 9-inch rear. Vintage aluminum slot mag wheels on the car – 70s Cragars with matching center caps on the rear, vintage rims on the front with modern replacement center caps. In keeping with the more authentic look, all the wheels are 14-inch. The power steering is light – as these 70s cars should be - and operates effortlessly. I have not played with the AC, but I bet it will need to be charged – all components are there. The ride height and rake are set by Monroe air shocks, so you can set the height as desired.
The interior is a time capsule – the seats have no tears, the dash pad is not cracked, the original radio was never removed. The carpet is in good shape and the headliner only has a small hole behind the driver’s sunvisor. The door panels are beautiful and un-modified. The original steering wheel is actually crack-free and even the horn buttons are un-damaged and in beautiful condition. The seats are black with the original factory decorative pattern on the seat faces. On the passenger front seat, there is a bit of a stain – looks like it might have been spilled coffee. If you know someone into upholstery cleaning, that might be an easy task. The grill is in exceptional shape as you can see in the pictures and I had all the nose trim professionally polished a while back. All the wheel opening moldings are there as well as the rocker moldings, etc. The right-front wheel opening molding piece is the worst – having a bit of damage on it at the 2-o’clock position that you can probably see in the pics. Of course, if you find a new piece, it’s just a few screws to replace it. The rear bumper I had re-chromed, so it looks beautiful. The floors, rockers and frame rails are exceptional. The only rust I have found on this car is the left front bumper bracket; which a new one can be simply bolted on when located. (If I find one first, I will bolt it on) I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. She is ready to bump the key and go. She will get you a LOT of attention on the road and at cruise-night destinations and car shows. She is a lot of fun, you will regularly be asked for permission for pictures, etc. The car has a clear MD title and is available for inspection by appointment at my home in Baltimore, MD before the auction ends. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time since the car is for sale locally as well. If you follow these cars, you know that this is an exceptional price and value, so don’t delay… Obviously, the car will not leave my house until payment clears – even certified checks need to clear due to some of the scams running today. Pay with cash and you can take the car instantly – I’ll even offer $100 off with cash.
Be sure to check out all the extra photos and video of the car running, etc at this link.

Delivery within the Baltimore metro area is free. If you would like me to deliver the car within the eastern US, I would charge $1.75 per loaded mile with my own trailer.

Ken Block proves the new Ford Focus RS can handle that Gymkhana thing
Wed, Feb 4 2015Oh Ford, you've already done a lot for us today, introducing the bound-for-America Focus RS and all. But then you go ahead and add onto this day of good news by handing a prototype of the new all-wheel-drive rocket to drift maestro Ken Block and capture it all on video. Block does his usual, slipping and sliding and drifting the over-315-horsepower hot hatchback through Ford's Cologne, Germany factory, before making a final and surprising appearance at the unveiling of the new RS to European media. It's all as entertaining as it sounds, and gives us plenty of chances to hear the 2.3-liter EcoBoost at full bellow. Related Video:
And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.
FCA close to paying off debt, outperforming Ford in earnings
Fri, Jan 26 2018FCA boosting output of SUVs, trucks in U.S. Marchionne says the company no longer needs a merger partner FCA expects to pay off all debt this year "There's a very strong likelihood that we will outperform Ford" MILAN/DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler's shift to sell more trucks and SUVs boosted margins yet again in its North American profit center, making Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne confident he can hit most of the final targets of his five-year turnaround plan. FCA has been retooling some U.S. factories to boost output of lucrative sport-utility vehicles and trucks while ending production of some unprofitable sedans. This put the world's seventh-largest carmaker on track to become debt-free by the end of the year, and allowed Marchionne to make good on his promise to close the gap on larger U.S. rivals General Motors (GM) and Ford. "There's a very strong likelihood that we will outperform Ford in terms of operating earnings in 2018," Marchionne told analysts on an earnings call Thursday. "That's something that if I told any of us in the room here that would've been doable five years ago, nobody would have believed it." As the 65-year-old executive prepares to hand over the reins to an internal successor next year, he said the improvements mean the company no longer needed a partner to survive. The carmaker has often been the subject of merger speculation, especially after its unsuccessful 2015 attempt to tie up with GM. "The necessity to find a partner, to try and guarantee our survival, going forward, is put to bed. I mean we're done," Marchionne told analysts on a post-results conference call. North America accounted for 71 percent of earnings last quarter, and profit margins in the region rose to 8 percent from 7.1 percent a year earlier, even as shipments fell 3 percent. Meanwhile Ford's automotive margin for North America slipped to 6.8 percent, down from 8.5 percent a year earlier.FCA trimmed its expectations for 2018 revenues and forecast adjusted operating profit of at least 8.7 billion euros, at the lower end of a previously given range. Analysts said FCA's margin improvement was impressive, and it could be on the cusp of a big boost from its new Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Cherokee models and its Ram 1500 truck. FCA ready to pay off its debt But the Italian-American carmaker expects to cancel all debt during 2018 — possibly by the end of June — and generate around 4 billion euros in net cash by the end of the year.
