1976 Ford Torino 4dr. 28,979 Original Miles Awesome Car! on 2040-cars
Park Forest, Illinois, United States
|
Here is one of the cleanest,lowest mile 1976 Ford Torino 4dr Sedans in the country I'm pretty sure. Bought from the stereotypical little old lady in Ohio who owned it from brand new in 1976 till the Spring of 2013 when it was sold to the gentleman I bought it off several months later. Car still has a clean Ohio title. This Torino has an unbelievable 28,979 ORIGINAL miles on it and was garage kept it's entire life by the original owner and has been garage kept by me since the day I bought it and as you can see by my pictures, is still garage kept. Interior is green and is a 9.9 out of 10...like brand new also was never smoked in. Exterior was Ford Factory Light Yellow, I had it painted Ford Bright White, I bought the car with the intention of making it into a 1976 Sheriff's Police Patrol Vehicle from Cook County,Illinois. Even if I would have decided to just drive the car I would have had it painted anyway as I did not like that sickly yellow color.I did have the inside trunk done to the white color change but left the door jams yellow to do them myself and I have the extra paint to do them,saves about 1200.00 off of the paintjob which I had already spent 1500.00-didn't see the need to make it 2700.00 Due to family and work commitments I have no time to mess with this car(needs nothing but adding on the police equipment)for at least 2 years and I'd rather see it in the hands of someone who would appreciate it as much as I do. Car is basically a civilian Police Package car from the factory,having only A/C(blows cold but not ice cold-needs charging) Power Brakes and Power Steering, Factory am/fm and factory dog dish hubcaps. Remember this car has 28,979 original miles and runs like new. Before it was painted it had a very little surface rust on a few spots,mainly above the drivers rear wheel well(no rot,just surface rust) and a few road dings from rocks...those were done the right way then the car was painted professionally. Bodywork was done by the paintshop. This car has never been crashed. I have put less than 100 miles on this car since I owned it,only driving it to the paint shop and back(about 70 miles) and few dozen times around my block. I even had it trucked up to Illinois from Ohio. DO NOT miss out on this Torino if you love the big body 4dr's of the 70's...you may never see one with this low of miles and body condition again. Transportation is the buyers responsibility but I will help in any way I can. I have used a company called Direct Express(google for phone number) on 7 occasions since 1999 shipping cars to me or from my address. Direct Express is very dependable,always at least half of the price of larger shippers and does door to door service. I also have all of the antique Police Equipment should the buyer want want to convert it into an old Police Cruiser. I have the old lightbar,backseat cage,NOS Spotlight,and antique radios. Call me if interested in these to go with the car,or if new owner would just like the Spotlight to install on driver's door pillar to make it look like an old unmarked unit and drive like that I will gladly give it to you.

Shelby Mustang stars with Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez in Getaway movie
Thu, 06 Jun 2013Car movies. We keep watching them, they keep making them. Despite Fast & Furious 6 still blowing up the box office (No. 1 in theaters for the second straight week) and production on Transformers 4 being well underway (check out the Bugatti Veyron and Corvette Stingray as new cast members), there's still room on the marquee for more car movies. Next one up is an Ethan Hawke joint called Getaway, which prominently co-stars a Ford Shelby GT500. The first trailer for Getaway, which opens in theaters on August 30, was released yesterday and can be watched below.
The movie's plot centers around Hawke's character, former race car driver Brent Magna, who must somehow use this car, what appears to be a generation-old Shelby GT500 Super Snake he "commandeered," to save his wife. The movie's third co-star is Selena Gomez, whose character we're told is the owner of said Shelby. A 20-year-old having a car like this seems a bit far-fetched - especially in Europe - and on paper, this plot looks like it cribs liberally from Charlie Sheen's 1994 The Chase. But all we've got to go on is a brief plot description and the trailer below, so we'll withhold judgment until the studio firmly has our ticket money in its grasp.
The Shelby GT500 is, of course, no stranger to acting. Before this jump to celluloid, the most fearsome of all Mustang models starred in the return of Knight Rider to television on NBC back in 2008. That gig didn't pan out for the car, the show lasting only one season and 17 episodes. In fact, with its casting in Getaway, the Shelby GT500 is one of the few actors who escaped that debacle with a future in show biz.
5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals
Sun, Mar 3 2024EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment. But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.

Ford supports bid for Detroit Rallycross race with Motown-minded Fiesta ST vid
Mon, 01 Jul 2013As Ford continues its cheerleading effort to help bring the 2014 Summer X Games to its hometown of Detroit, MI, it has released footage of its 2014 Fiesta ST Rallycross car on location at some of the city's well-known landmarks. This video appears to have been shot around the same time as the previous X Games Detroit video was made, but it focuses 100-percent on rally car action.
With Ford Racing driver Andreas Eriksson behind the wheel, this Fiesta ST lays down some serious rubber atop Detroit's Cobo Hall parking structure, at Belle Isle and around the Michigan Central Depot. Detroit isn't alone in the bid for a three-year X Games contract as Chicago, Austin and Charlotte are also hoping to play host. The winning host city is expected to be announced this summer. Scroll down for Ford's two-minute video showing the Fiesta ST Rallycrossing through the Motor City.
