1968 Ford Torino GT, North Carolina car.......
The car is complete with the follwong exceptions: Hood lip molding, trim rings. Car has rollers on it and the correct 4 steel wheels are in the trunk.
The 302 engine does run and sounds OK, no knocks, pings or smoke. As far as the transmission is concerned, its a 3 speed manual that was on the column but has moved to the floor, she goes into all 4 gears with ease. The brakes are bad and the tires are dry rotted. The exhaust is intact and goes out all the way to the rear bumper. There is not a power steering belt on the car but the power steering system is complete. The electrical has some gremlins, lights work, brake lights work, marker lights and etc, all there but needs gone over.... I also have a column that was for a 4 speed that I will give with the car, that way you only have the floor shifter.
The interior is complete, back seats are not torn, rear package tray ok, needs headliner, all door panels are ok except the drivers which has a small tear but the door lock knob, carpet worn, dash pad is straight and free of cracks. Front bench is torn but cushion is not exposed. All seat belts are on car and back are still in plastic.
All trim is on the car and in need of polishing/re-chroming, the bumper are straight but do need re-chromed. All the glass is Ok with the exception of the windshield but a used OEM one goes with the car. All the weather stripping is shot.
Body is in need of paint, hood is shot, fenders are rust free except for light scale..no holes, outside of the doors have a few small bubbles appearing on the outside but there are no holes showing on the outside, the drivers door has a hole in the bottom corner but can be repaired and should be as the bottom of the door is ok. The trunk lid has one spot on the out side but is definitely repairable as the underneath is ok. The quarters do not show any rot and the lips are ok, but there are signs of old body work to the pass quarter from inside the trunk, old school rivets can be seen near the wheel well. Roof is ok. The tail light panel is ok.
The underneath, both front torque boxes will need work, the passenger side being the worse. The floor pans and rails are ok with scale no holes. The front section of the car around near the core/radiator support will need repair. Battery tray is gone but the apron does not have a whole through it. Cowl looks ok.....Trunk section has a few holes starting to appear on the upper section but no major rot, spring hangers are solid as well as the rails.
This is a 45 year old car that has had prior body work and has been sitting, please keep that in mind when bidding. I encourage you to come a see the car and to check all the pics I have at flickr.com then type in jkupka search under people. Ebay changed their rules and I can no longer provide the link.
If you need any more pics let me know and any questions answered I will do my best. I'm human and do miss things but have done as much as I can to describe what I see. I will provide my telephone number if asked thru ebay ask the seller.

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
Takata air bag recall list
Tue, Dec 9 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
