No Reserve 1971 Ford Torino 500 Sedan Cleveland 2v 351 V8 Runs Great! Beautiful! on 2040-cars
Tallahassee, Florida, United States
|
Up for auction is this BEAUTIFUL turquoise 1971 Ford Torino 500 sedan. Runs and drives great! The Cleveland 2V 351 V8 engine has been well taken care of and runs smoothly and powerfully. This car DRIVES! Is mated to the smooth shifting C-4 3 speed automatic transmission. Free of frame rust!
Vehicle is sold AS-IS. Needs some bodywork as seen in the pictures. The right-rear door is a bit pushed in and the clear coat needs to be redone on some body panels. Rear bumper could be re-chromed and hood could use being redone. Also needs some touches such as the chrome striping that goes along the passenger side, passenger side mirror and a few dents and scratches removed, but if you can do it, this is soon to be up to the condition it needs to be to be a top of the line example of American Muscle. Even in the condition it is in, this Torino turns heads wherever it goes and with its potential, this car is destined to be a true collectible classic. The interior has been kept up in great condition! Check out the dash, front seat, and courtesy ceiling light that could be repaired to get this interior looking perfect. A/C needs to be recharged. Does not currently blow cold air, but fan and heater works! Turn signals are not currently working, although headlights and rears lights do work (reverse lights need to be replaced) with the flip of a an aftermarket installed switch you can see under the dash in the picture. This can be replaced with an original switch easily. Also, fuel gauge is not currently working yet temperature gauge is. Wipers are working. The drivers side lap seat belt tensioner needs you to put your finger underneath it to release the seat belt, yet some tinkering will allow it to work as it's supposed to. Has original head unit installed, in addition to an aftermarket head unit installed that blends in with the interior, professionally installed with wood trim. Speakers currently do not work but is wired to be replaced and make sweet sounds come out of your sweet ride. As far as the engine goes, the tie rods have just been replaced, as well as the lower control arms, and upper and lower ball joints. The sway bar bushings have been replaced with polyerethane and everything works perfectly! Also installed is a double roller timing chain, new points, ignition coil, plugs, as well as brake master cylinder and U-joints. The shift points could use being adjusted as can be noticed when putting in Park, Drive, or Reverse. Nevertheless, shifts smoothly and effortlessly when driving. Has all good tires plus a spare. The rear brakes do need to be replaced but the front brakes have been replaced about a month ago. I'm also including a new halogen bulb, additional new spark plugs as well as a used, working electronic distributor for the 351 engine that can replace the now, working analog distributor that's currently installed. Says over 94,000 miles but it's impossible to tell actual mileage as the working odometer only goes up to 100,000 miles. Needs some work to get this in PERFECT condition, but definitely worth it in this vehicle! Thought of keeping it myself and doing all the work, but my heart is set on saving up to buy an RV. Rare original color for a rare car, the style and sport of a muscle car and the practicality of a sedan, this car is ready to GO! Happy Bidding! |

Texas plumber shocked his old Ford F-250 is now in terrorists' hands [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Do you ever wonder what the a owner is doing with your vehicle after you trade it in? Mark Oberholtzer of Mark-1 Plumbing in Texas City, TX, has no need to imagine, but it's probably his worst nightmare. That's because an image of his old Ford F-250 is now on Twitter as a gun platform in the Syrian Civil War. While the image only appeared recently, Oberholtzer traded the truck in last November. Somehow since then the F-250 made its way from Texas to Syria. According to a report from television station WHOU, the dealer that took the trade said the pickup immediately went to auction. Unfortunately, along the whole route no one ever took Mark-1 Plumbing's name and phone number off the door. So when the image went up on Twitter, everyone knew whom the Ford previously belonged to. The plumbing company makes it abundantly clear that this whole bizarre situation is simply a coincidence, and it has absolutely no ties to the conflict in Syria. However, that isn't preventing people from phoning the business with angry calls and threats. Things are so bad that Oberholtzer keeps the phones unplugged for relief. Scroll down to watch a video of the guy's flabbergasted reaction to finding out what his F-250 is doing now. This content is hosted by a third party.

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year
Mon, Nov 9 2015With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.
