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.

BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR VEHICLE PICK-UP OR SHIPPING. A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT THROUGH PAYPAL IS DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION ENDING AND FULL PAYMENT WITHIN 7 DAYS. VEHICLE AND/OR TITLE WILL NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL ALL FUNDS HAVE CLEARED THE BANK.  PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTY. 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!!!

China takes lead as GM's No. 1 market

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

It's happened. General Motors' biggest vehicle market - at least in terms of new model sales - is China. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, GM and its various Chinese joint venture operations enjoyed a 10.6-percent sales increase in the first half of 2013, selling almost 1.6 million units in the market. That puts GM China about 200,000 units ahead of its US sales totals over the same period - this, despite indicators that the communist nation's economy is losing momentum.
TDB notes that like GM, rival Ford has also enjoyed a robust 2013 in China thus far, with its sales up a whopping 47 percent to 407,721 units sold - 75,254 of them in June alone. Between the two US automakers, passenger car sales for the first half of 2013 are up around 14 percent, well ahead of the rest of the industry's 10-percent growth estimates for the market. Some of the sales growth may come as a result of an overall anti-Japan sentiment in China, though the American brands have long outsold their Japanese counterparts in the country.
By The General's own predictions, China will only continue to grow in sales importance. The company has designs on selling over five million cars a year in the market before the end of the decade, a total that figures to dramatically widen the gap versus its US totals - even if America's auto market makes a full recovery to the the salad days of over 17-million units a year.

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773

Fri, Mar 24 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.  Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.
