1974 Ford Gran Torino Starsky & Hutch Clone! Movie Car, Priced To Sell! 351 C!! on 2040-cars
Piedmont, South Carolina, United States
Thanks for checking out this cool ride offered by M.E.S. Motorsports; where our cars are notorious for Making Everyone Stare! What we have for sale here is a 1974 Ford Gran Torino Starsky & Hutch clone. This is a really neat car that turns heads wherever it goes. Great for driving to local cruise ins and such or take it to the next level! Either way it'll be fun along the way. History – We picked this car up from a gentleman in GA that builds movie cars for fun and even rents some of them out. We were told that it was a southern car at its life. He had built this car and then parked it for a year or so when we ran across it. It would not stay running when we acquired it so we trailered it home and began to work on it. Now she runs like a champ. Drivetrain – 351 Cleveland engine with a 3 speed automatic transmission. We put a newly rebuilt Holley 500 carburetor on it which helped bring it alive. We had the transmission freshened up to repair all the leaks and had a new transmission cooler with all new lines installed as well. New U-Joints were also installed at the driveshaft. Runs out and shifts very smoothly. We also had new exhaust ran from the manifolds back with new Flowmaster mufflers. Sounds great! Gas tank was boiled out and we installed a new sending unit and fuel pump with inline filter. New drive belts and a fresh oil change. The rest of the fluid were topped off as well so she is ready to go! Power steering and power brakes make this one easy to drive. Exterior/Body – The car was painted already when we got it. The did a pretty decent job overall but it is not a concourse show paint job. The car was not disassembled for paint. Looks presentable and has a nice shine to it. The black pinstripe is vinyl and was not painted on. Overall the body is straight and the glass is original. There is some rust in the lower quarters and trunk. Nothing that keeps you from enjoying the car though. Some of the original chrome trim is showing its age but the bumpers are in fairly good shape. Underneath - Has not been detailed or painted. Floors and frame all seem solid. Interior – Much of the interior is new and it looks good. New carpet, dash cap, seat covers and door panel covers. Headliner is nice. There is currently no stereo in the car. No heat or AC. Wheels/tires – Correct style 14" Mag wheels. They were pretty worn looking so we had them powder coated an aluminum chrome look so that they would be easier to maintain. They turned out nice. The tires have some good life left on them too. Known issues – Rust areas mentioned above. No heat/AC. Column shifter is loose. Passenger side marker light is broken. No stereo. Paint is nice but not perfect. Engine bay could use a good detailing. Title - The car came from GA where they do not always issue titles for cars this age. Therefore our DMV had to create one. Because of this they had to put "undisclosed liens" on the title for 120 days. I have the title in my possession and can get a new one in the next couple of weeks if you are not able to use this one. It is a clear title with no liens on it. Contact me for me details about this or if you have any questions or concerns.

About us - M.E.S. Motorsports, LLC was founded and started by myself and my best friend of almost 30 years now. While M.E.S. was “officially” put into action around 2012, it really started back in the 90’s during our high school days. Even back then we were in each other’s garage every weekend working on our cars. We have always shared the same enthusiasm for that one thing…..Automobiles! Hot rods, classics, customs, sports cars, fast cars, loud cars, basically anything with 4 wheels and an engine. For as long as I can remember we’ve always enjoyed “playing” with cars and recently decided to share our passion and creativity with others and thus M.E.S. Motorsports, LLC was officially launched . At this time we are not licensed car dealers but rather auto enthusiasts with a passion for buying and selling cars to and from other auto enthusiasts and collectors. Our goal is to sell cars that you can actually get into and drive anywhere! We believe that cars are actually meant to be driven on the road and not just stored. A lot of the cars that we find are from individuals who are simply not using them anymore or that started restoring them but never finished. Some cars may just need some cleaning and a tune up while other may need paint or finish work. Whatever the case is, we try to address any issues and get them road worthy. We hate to see any car just sitting, rotting or not being used. We believe that everyone out there should have the car of their dreams and that they should be able to drive it anywhere they want to go!

2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang debuts at Lagun Seca
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Saleen used the occasion of the race-fueled Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to announce its new Heritage Collection Lineup. The event was punctuated with the debut of the collection's first member, the 2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang.
Follmer's name will likely sound familiar to fans of American racing in the 1960s and '70s. The driver competed in Formula One with the Shadow team in 1973, ran the Indianapolis 500, was the Can-Am champion in 1972 and drove stock cars in NASCAR's Winston Cup as well. The multi-disciplined driver is now one of three -the other two being Mark Donohue and Swede Savage - with the honor of upcoming, limited edition Saleen-tuned vehicles..

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
