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.

This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014
They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.
Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown
Sun, 18 May 2014A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."
Bosch fined $57.8 million by DOJ for price fixing and bid rigging
Tue, Mar 31 2015The US Department of Justice has been investigating bid rigging and price fixing among automotive parts suppliers for years, and so far the agency has leveled nearly $2.5 billion in fines against 34 companies. The latest business to be caught in this ongoing crackdown is Germany's Robert Bosch GmbH (Bosch), the world's largest independent auto component maker, and it agrees to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine to the Feds. According to the DOJ, Bosch has agreed to plead guilty to pricing fixing and bid rigging for spark plugs and oxygen sensors supplied to the former DaimlerChrysler, Ford and General Motors. The rigging is said to have occurred between January 2000 and July 2011. Bosch also allegedly played foul with starter motors sold to Volkswagen from January 2009 until at least June 2010. Bosch and other companies allegedly conspired on the pricing for bids to submit to automakers, and sold the parts at noncompetitive prices. The DOJ filed a one-count felony charge in US District Court for these actions. The company's plea is still subject to court approval, though. Bosch is only the third European company to be charged in this investigation, according to the DOJ. So far, many of the fined businesses have been from Japan, including Takata, NGK and others. Some execs have claimed price-fixing has been the standard operating procedure in the auto parts industry for a long time. Robert Bosch GmbH Agrees to Plead Guilty to Price Fixing and Bid Rigging on Automobile Parts Installed in U.S. Cars Robert Bosch GmbH, the world's largest independent parts supplier to the automotive industry, based in Gerlingen, Germany, has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix prices and rig bids for spark plugs, oxygen sensors and starter motors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers in the United States and elsewhere, the Department of Justice announced today. According to the one-count felony charge filed today in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Michigan, Bosch conspired to allocate the supply of, rig bids for, and to fix, stabilize and maintain the prices of, spark plugs and oxygen sensors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers such as DaimlerChrysler AG, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company and Andreas Stihl AG & Co., among others, in the United States and elsewhere.
