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 barely edges surging Chrysler for Canadian sales crown in best year ever

Thu, Jan 8 2015

The auto industry in the US showed strong results through much of 2014 with sales regularly growing year-over-year for many brands. That same trend carried over in the Great White North, as well. Canada posted its best numbers ever with 1.85 million units sold, up about 100,000 vehicles over 2013. The country nearly had a new market leader, too. The big winner among our neighbors to the north in 2014 was Ford with 291,951 vehicles sold, up 3 percent from 2013, according to Reuters. That success also handed the company the sales crown for the fifth consecutive year. In large part, the strong result came from the company's popular trucks, which represented about 80 percent of overall sales. "Ford moved into the number one position in September and didn't look back," said a note to clients by DesRosiers Automotive Consultants quoted by Reuters. However, the Blue Oval didn't exactly take an overwhelming lead for the year. The company nearly had to hand over the sales trophy to FCA after the company rallied in the latter part of the year. The Italian-American conglomerate had its best results ever to nip at the Ford's heels and move 290,004 units for 2014, a 12-percent improvement from last year. Jeep especially helped the bottom line with over 50-percent growth, according to Reuters. Only two other brands were able to break the 200,000-vehicle barrier in Canada for 2014. General Motors came in third place overall with 249,800 sales, up 6.3 percent. The combined Toyota and Lexus also barely jumped the hurdle with 200,851 units moved, a 2.8 percent improvement.

Ford's first PHEV in Europe could be C-Max

Fri, Oct 17 2014

Ford could start selling a plug-in hybrid in Europe pretty soon, according to at least one of its executives. Whether it's willing to do so is another story. But if the market perks up, so will the company. The automaker can "quickly" develop a plug-in hybrid version of its Mondeo, the sister car to the Ford Fusion, Automotive News Europe says, citing Ford executive Uli Koesters. The subject of Ford selling plug-in hybrids in Europe is more vital than ever since Volkswagen recently started selling its first PHEV (a Golf) there. VW will also debut a Passat PHEV next year. Koesters was less certain about whether there was sufficient European demand to warrant a production PHEV from Ford. Europe's biggest-selling plug-in hybrid through the first half of the year was the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. That model, according to JATO Dynamics, moved almost 9,000 units through June. Toyota sold almost 4,300 Prius Plug-in Hybrids in Europe during that time period. And we can't be sure Ford's first European PHEV will be the Modeo/Fusion, either. In fact, Ford's first plug-in hybrid for Europe is more likely to be the C-Max, John Gardiner, a Ford spokesman in Europe, told AutoblogGreen. He would only say that it would be sold "in selected markets soon," without being more specific. Ford's two PHEVs in the US have been selling well this year. Through September, sales of the Fusion Energi PHEV almost tripled to 9,323 units, while Ford C-Max Energi PHEV sales were up 51 percent to 6,486 units.

2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.
