This is a very rare car, most of four speed Torino cars have been wrecked, parted down during a time people thought they were not that valuable, or just rusted out. Same green color as the movie car, 'Grand Torino'. It is one of only 2091 four speed cars offered in 1972. Ford only put four speeds behind the 351 Cleveland CJ, (known as the 351CJ engine), four barrel, that's the 'Cobra Jet' engine. It is said that there may only be as little as three hundred of the four speed cars left. It has been stored inside, restoration has been started, all body work done, clutch, brake and suspension work done. No rust at all, clean trunk, this is an easy restoration, speedo shows just under 45K, it may not have turned over-can't really tell, all parts there, steering wheel is aftermarket, missing the top of the stock air cleaner lid and has an aftermarket radio-all real easy things to find. All chrome is good, all moldings are there and good-may need a little freshening up. The interior is all there and stock, seats needs to be recovered and headliner replaced, the rest may be restorable, has the cracked dash as all of these car have. I have a 'MARTI REPORT' that I can email or fax out to you. The car is not going to be sold for a low price, it will only sell for top dollar because it is very rare. It hurts me to have to sell it, I was starting a 'Year 72 Collection', all I can say is: try to find another one of these CJ fours speed cars, all stock and this original. I am selling off all my street rod projects that I have left due to health issues, got a 88,000 org mile, one owner 72 Ranchero, 351C auto, AND a 44,000 mile 64 Ford F100-short wide box, 302-C4. I can email more pictures-call me, Seller has the right to stop the auction early as it is also advertised locally, feel free to call me, Bob at 530-528-1000 and leave message or call my cell at 530-209-2897
On May-28-13 at 10:09:59 PDT, seller added the following information:
I just got the MARTI REPORT on this car, there were only 306 Torinos sold in 1972 with four speeds and only the CJ 351 cleveland engine could have the four speed tranny. Also there was only 173 sold with this paint and trim code, I can fax the Marti Report, call me at the 530-528-1000 leave message on where to fax it.
On May-29-13 at 16:35:02 PDT, seller added the following information:
I cannot get the Marti Report to load, email me with your email address and I will send it to you,

Ford to auction Mustang Cobra Jet prototype for charity [w/video]
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Prototypes developed by major automakers typically remain in said company's custody, but every once in a while, one trickles out into private hands. And that's just what we have here. Ford is donating a one-of-a-kind factory prototype for the 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet that will be auctioned off later this month by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 mated to a T4 competition gearbox, this rare Cobra Jet prototype includes a wheelie bar, chromoly roll cage, Weld wheels, three-link rear suspension, racing brakes, 9-inch rear axle and more. It's painted in a unique satin orange with reflective gray striping scheme, bears the serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1 and is fully ready for NHRA competition on the drag strip.
To be offered with no reserve on Saturday, September 28, 2013, the Cobra Jet prototype's winning bidder will also receive tutelage at Roy Hill's Drag Racing School in Sophia, NC, along with tours of the Ford Product Development Center, Ford Racing headquarters and Ford Design Studios with Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Scope out the video and details below for what could be the ultimate Mustang experience for a good cause.
This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US
Wed, 11 Dec 2013As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.

Hertz Penske GT latest hot Ford Mustang at the rental counter
Tue, 09 Jul 2013Just a couple days after announcing the resurrection of its Rent-A-Racer program, Hertz has revealed a new car being added to its Adrenalin Collection of rental cars. To signify its new partnership with Penske Racing in NASCAR, Hertz introduced a limited-edition version of the Ford Mustang GT, officially called the Hertz Penske GT, at last weekend's NASCAR races in Daytona. If you're like us, the rental specials remind with the original 1966 Shelby GT350-H and its later homage, the 2006 Shelby GT-H.
Visually, the Hertz Penske GT starts out with a black and yellow paint and graphics scheme as well as identifying badges, and Hertz has raided the Mustang parts bin for bits and bobs like a Boss 302 front splitter and Shelby GT500 rear valence to give the coupe its own unique look. The model has also receives performance improvements including upgraded suspension and exhaust, Brembo brakes, a retuned ECU and Recaro bucket seats. As a bonus, Penske Racing's Nationwide Series No. 22 Ford Mustang has been painted to match the new Hertz Penske GT. Other cars in the Hertz Adrenaline Collection include the standard version of the Ford Mustang GT, Chevrolet Camaro SS, Chevrolet Corvette convertible and Dodge Challenger R/T. Scroll down for the official press release for the Hertz Penske GT, or you can always head to your local Hertz airport location to see if they have one on the lot.
