1969 TORINO GT FASTBACK
THIS IS A VERY CLEAN ONE OWNER ORIGINAL SURVIVOR! IT HAS BEEN IN THE FAMILY SINCE NEW! MY STEP MOTHER'S FATHER BOUGHT IT FOR HER WHEN SHE GRADUATED COLLEGE. THE ENGINE, TRANS, REAREND, AND BODY PANELS ARE ALL ORIGINAL. 98% OF THE PAINT AND 100% OF THE INTERIOR IS ORININAL!
MY FATHER MAINTAINED THIS CAR RELIGOUSLY AND IT WAS STORED INSIDE ALMOST ITS WHOLE EXISTANCE UNTIL RECENTLY (I JUST DON'T HAVE THE ROOM). THE INTERIOR IS IN REMARKABLE CONDITION BECAUSE OF NOT BEING IN THE SUN. NO CRACKS IN THE DASH, CARPET AND SEATS GOOD, AND ONLY ONE SMALL REPAIR IN THE HEADLINER BY THE SUN VISOR.
EXCEPT FOR REGULAR UPKEEP (BELTS,HOSES, MUFFLER, TIRES ETC.) THE ONLY ENGINE WORK I KNOW OF WAS THE TIMING GEARS WERE REPLACED SOMETIME IN THE 70'S.
ALSO SOMETIME IN THE 70'S THE CAR GOT SOME DAMAGE ON THE L.REAR QUARTER PANEL WHILE IN A PARKING LOT. THE PANEL WAS NOT BAD ENOUGH TO REPLACE, JUST NEEDED BODY WORK (WHICH WASN'T PERFECT). IN THE 80'S I HELPED MY DAD TAKE THE FENDERS OFF AND REPAIR SOME RUST THAT WAS STARTING ON THE LOWER REAR OF THE FENDERS. THOSE ARE THE ONLY BODY REPAIRS I KNOW OF. THE FLOORS ARE SOLID (JUST SURFACE RUST). MOST ALL THE REST OF THE PAINT AND DECALS ARE ORIGINAL.
MY PARENTS LAST TAGGED THE CAR IN 1995 AND IT WAS STORED IN AN ENCLOSED CARPORT UNTIL I RECIEVED IT IN 2008. THE BRAKES WERE LOCKED UP AND THE TIRES WERE DRY ROTTED AND THE GAS WAS BAD. AT THAT TIME I REPLACED THE WHEEL CYLINDERS, PUT GOOD GAS IN IT AND BOUGHT NEW COOPER TIRES. I THEN PARKED IT IN MY GARAGE UNTIL A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I AGAIN HAD TO FLUSH THE TANK, THEN REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, AND REBUILD THE CARB. IT NOW RUNS AND DRIVES AS GREAT AS I REMEMBERED YEARS AGO.
THIS CAR ONLY HAS 90,785 ACTUAL MILES ON IT AND IT IS A SHAME IT ISN'T DRIVEN REGULARLY. AFTER ALOT OF THOUGHT I'VE DESIDED TO SELL THE CAR.
YOU CAN FLY IN AND DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY OR I CAN DELIVER IT IN THE U.S. FOR $1.50 A LOADED MILE (ONE WAY).
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL MIKE @ 479-238-1122 OR 479-228-4304. PLEASE DO NOT HIT THE "BUY IT NOW" UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS TO PAY AND CALL ME FIRST! I FIND THAT SERIOUS BUYER'S WILL ALMOST ALWAYS CALL. THANKS, MIKE

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
How the Ford Shelby Mustang came to be
Fri, 20 Sep 2013Even as rumors swirl that the next-generation of high-performance Ford Mustang will drop the Shelby name, Ford has released a short video telling how the legend of the Shelby Mustang came to be. In its latest installment of its video series entitled Mustang Countdown, Ford dug up some footage from Carroll Shelby to give a little insight into how this automotive icon was created.
While it's definitely interesting to hear the late legend tell the story in his own words (including numerous references to the 1964 Mustang as a "secretary's car"), it's also pretty funny learning exactly how the Shelby GT350 got its name in the first place - a name allegedly making a comeback as the replacement for the current Shelby GT500. As development work continues on the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Shelby video posted below shows that the automaker is always looking at its past - even as it looks ahead to the future.
2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.
