Colonial Heights, Virginia, United States
|
Are you looking for a good, reliable, sporty car with a recent Virginia inspection and working AC ?
(check the attached pictures) This car has been owned by the same elderly owner for over 13 years (my father), he can not drive a manual anymore. A local garage (Colonial Tire) has complete all service work and inspections since he has owned the car and copies of the services are available if new owner desires to have them printed out at the shop. This Taurus SHO, has the 220 HP Yamaha V-6 with a 7300 RPM redline. It also has a recently rebuilt 5 speed manual transmission with clutch replacement (and a spare clutch in the trunk) Taurus SHOs are the real 4 door sport cars, Front Wheel Drive and have 4 wheel disc brakes. This vehicle has the R134A Air Conditioning conversion and it blows quite cold (not important in November, but very important in May to early September) This SHO has little to no rust and runs and drives well. An August Virginia inspection insures good tires, brakes and general road-worthiness. Here is your chance to get a decent car for a decent price. My dad has 3 other cars and has to get rid of at least 2 of them. Drive it away. True mileage is unknown.....it appears the instrument cluster was replaced before my father bought the car. The car has been maintained by professional mechanics and has passed inspection each year including 2012. Buyer is responsible for pickup Paypal payment within 48 hours of auction end. |

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US
Thu, 18 Jul 2013YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype sells for $7M
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Seven-figure Ferraris are not horribly rare. Heck, an eight-figure Ferrari isn't a rare occurrence. Between modern masterpieces like the Enzo and more classic offerings, cracking the million-dollar mark isn't a particularly tall order for the cars from Maranello. For a Ford, though, it's a big deal.
Now, this is not just some rare Mustang. This is a GT40, the car that Henry Ford II commissioned to whip Enzo Ferrari around a track in France. As far as the Le Mans-winning racers go, they don't get much rarer than this one. Sold at the Mecum Auctions in Houston, this is one of the prototypes, meaning it's one of the very first GT40s ever built. That makes its $7 million winning a bid, a record for on-air coverage of the auction, a pretty darn impressive figure.
You can watch the auction below, but first, take a look back at our original story on this rare Blue Oval.
eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype
Wed, 08 May 2013Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.
