1976 Gran Torino Station Wagon

351 Cleveland - 2 Barrel (161,940 original miles)

FMX Borg-Warner Transmission (Automatic)

I am listing this vehicle for sale for my girlfriends' father. I will list all of the details he has told me about the station wagon. If you have any more questions, please feel free to call him. His name/number is: Carlton Gardner 252-749-5491. The vehicle is located in Fountain, N.C.

This station wagon has been owned by Mr. Carlton Gardner, a retired mechanic, since 1998. It has the original motor and transmission. Neither one have ever been rebuilt. The motor is a 351 Cleveland, 2 bolt main, with a 2 barrel carburetor. The transmission is an FMX Borg-Warner Heavy Duty Automatic Transmission.

The station wagon has 161,949 original miles. It has Power Steering and Power Brakes. The car originally came with A/C, however this has been removed. The car has a good, strong engine and the transmission shifts fine. The gas needle does not work, and the drivers' side seat has a split in it and some of the foam is missing.

It will be the buyers' responsibility to arrange for the transporting/ shipping of the vehicle, however, the car is road worthy, so it would be possible to get a 10 day temporary tag and drive the vehicle back to your hometown.

Ford recalls over 680,000 Ford Fusions, Mondeos, and Lincoln MKZs for seat belt pretensioners

Fri, Dec 2 2016

Update: We spoke with a Ford representative who said that owners will be notified by mail during the week of January 16 . Dealers will also have the fix available at the same time. Owners can bring in their vehicles to dealers for an evaluation in the mean time. The main text has been updated to reflect this. The Basics: Ford is recalling 680,872 2013-2016 Ford Fusions, 2015-2016 Ford Mondeos, and 2013-2015 Lincoln MKZ s for an issue with front driver-side and passenger-side seat belt pretensioners. The Problem: The seat-belt pretensioners did not have sufficient insulation applied. When the pretensioners are activated, the heat generated can cause the cables connected to the belts to separate, which in turn can prevent the seat belts from effectively restraining the occupant. This can lead to injuries. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports two accidents and two injuries have occurred that are related to this recall. The fix: A dealer technician will inject an insulation coating around the pretensioner. This should effectively keep the heat away from the cables, ensuring the seat belt will properly restrain the user in a collision. If you own one: Affected owners will be notified by mail on the week of January 16. Dealers will have the fix available that week, and owners will be able to bring in their vehicles for the fix to be implemented free of charge. Related Video:

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
