AS MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE, I HAVE BEEN MARKETING CLASSIC CARS
OF EVERY KIND FOR MY CLIENTS ON EBAY FOR OVER 10 YEARS...
EVERYTHING FROM DARRIN'S TO DUESENBERGS!

OFTENTIMES (AS IN THE CASE OF THIS TORINO), THE OWNER HAS PASSED AND THE INFORMATION THE FAMILY HAS PROVIDED IS BOTH LIMITED AND SKETCHY. AS SUCH, I WILL DO MY BEST TO DESCRIBE WHAT I CAN.

 ANY HELP FROM MY FELLOW EBAYER'S IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED!


DETAILS INCLUDE:
  • I have no idea what size the engine is or if it is original to the car. (One family member told me it was a 460 and another told me a 429.)
  • Same thing for the transmission and rear end.
  • The speedometer worked when we drove it to the service center and after performing some minor exhaust work it stopped. (Odometer & Title will reflect 92,000 actual miles.)
  • The temperature gauge does not work. (After market one does)
  • The bright light switch is stuck on high beams.
  • Little round knob for window handle is missing.
  • Restored approximately 10 years ago.
  • VIN: 1A38C156078
  • Exhaust Manifold #: DOOE - 9430 - A (I couldn't read driver's side.)
  • Driver's side of motor: D2OE - AB
  • There is a very large "CP" on the rear of the engine.
  • Transmission has a big "14" on it.
  • The tag on the door reads: Body 63H - Col - X - Trans U or O - DSO - 21
  • Dark Blue Paint with Metallic - Not sure if it's original.
  • Runs & Drives Excellent
  • Sound Incredible! (Must have a larger cam shaft.)
  • Family members all say that Dad was very meticulous about this car. (He worked for Ford his whole life and was a "Ford Man" through and through.
  • He knew Bill Shenk personally (a big wig with Ford) and had him sign the car.
  • Several chips in paint that have been touched up. (I couldn't find them without my reading glasses on.)
  • Small area on roof has a few hair line cracks in paint. (I didn't need my glasses to find them!)
  • Tires seem good with plenty of rubber and very even wear.
  • Car steers straight with no issues.
  • Power brakes and power steering.
  • Wiper switch has a mind of its own. (Won't shut off sometimes.)
  • Radio doesn't work.
  • Brakes stop the car fine with no real pulling.
  • Idled for over 30 minutes without ever overheating.
  • Air Conditioner System seems to be missing.
  • Small imperfection in floor pan. (See picture)
  • Interior looks above average with no tears or rips or cracks anywhere.
  • Same for door panels and head liner.

YOU CAN INSPECT THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO BIDDING UNTIL THE AUCTION HAS ENDED. PLEASE CONTACT ME AND WE CAN ARRANGE A TIME. I HAVE LISTED THIS VEHICLE TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, BUT BEING A USED CLASSIC CAR IT IS NOT IN PERFECT CONDITION. 

All used vehicles should be assumed to have some degree of wear. No vehicle is perfect in any way. Each vehicle has its strengths, styles, tendencies and shortcomings. Therefore, despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle's mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer’s workmanship or previous owner’s diligence in care. It is for this reason that all vehicles are sold "AS IS". We have described the above mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability. However, with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective. Please be advised that no oral or written statements concerning any vehicle constitutes a representation or warranty of the condition of said vehicle. I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time and for any reason.


DISCLAIMER

As always, I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time and for any reason. I will entertain any reasonable offers, both online and otherwise, and therefore may decide to sell prior to auction ending. If I agree to accept an offer, whether online or not, the buyer must agree to consummate purchase through Ebay and abide their rules and conditions.

Please note that no car is perfect. It has been driven. It may have minor wear and minor marks from being on the road. I would suggest coming to see it in person before bidding so you know the degree of wear of the vehicle. I listed this vehicle to the best of my ability. However, I am only human and could have missed a flaw. So please if you have any concerns contact me. Thank you!!

Happy Bidding!!!

Ford F-100 'Snakebit' shown off by Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed at SEMA

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Ford, along with KISS bassist Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed, used SEMA as a backdrop to pull the covers off Snakebit, a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck that's been updated with Shelby Mustang-derived styling bits and a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. All 550 horsepower are funneled through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels.
Underneath the custom bodywork sits a chassis that's been stretched five inches and a bed widened and bedecked with billet machined pieces that are supposed to look like wood. The 20-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels ape those of past Shelby Mustang models. The interior is swathed in two-tone leather with a bench seat designed to look - try to act surprised - like a Shelby Mustang.
Like what you see? Bidding for the truck will take place in 2014 at an unspecified Barrett-Jackson event (we'd assume Scottsdale). Proceeds will be used to help build a children's hospital in Saskatoon, in the province of Saskatchewan, where Ms. Tweed grew up. See the high-res gallery above and the press release down below for more.

2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.

Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
