1970 Ford Torino, 351c California Car With Docs. Blue Plates And Service History on 2040-cars
Alpharetta, Georgia, United States
Very clean Original 1970 Torino with factory Ford 351 Cleveland. Factory blue/blue car, all original Docs and tons of CA service records, plus 2 perfect factory buildsheets come with a full binder including the original owners card from Ford, sales invoices copies of titles and owners manuals. Also the car comes with a 1971 grille installed, and the rare original 1970 grille surround pictured with headlight bezels, and trim. Factory GT taillights and a Factory GT hood which were added when it was repainted. I have a new chin spoiler for it I have not installed, and nice new Grant steering wheel for a stronger interior appearance if you like. The hood is Fresh Air when desired, as the ford hood scoop flaps come off/open with removal of 2 screws. All the glass is in very good to good condition without any delamination and all windows roll up and down freely and seal well, no water leaks ever. Car even smells good, not 45 year old stale smelling or musty like most old cars. It has Mustang Cobra 17" tires and wheels pictured plus new rear springs, KYB gas shocks, and a new 1 1/2" rear sway bar, also added when painted and they help make the car handle/corner great. Cobra decals/stickers can be pealed off if desired but look good when seen in person. No rattles or weird vibrations, runs, drives, and stops fantastic. It has the Ford 9" rear and is quiet and cruises the highway at 60-80 all day. New TCI street fighter trans, shifts strong and works perfectly, the factory kick down linkage still intact. Normal shifting trans, not the racing reverse valve body TCI. Brand new dual 2.5 inch exhaust and mufflers are attached to the original manifolds and head pipes which were not rusted out, only 58K documented miles remember. New fuel tank, alternator, and P/S pump. Many new A/C parts were installed and it was working fine for last 3 seasons. Noticed on the last drive to NC. it was still chilly but not as cold as it was, (was 91 and humid) might need a charge, normally very cold. Brakes have new front caliper's, front brake hoses, rear brakes have been serviced too, and it stops great. My family and I use this car sparingly for weekend car shows so it is very safe, reliable, looks great, and is easy to drive. Every blinker, light, and even the door buzzer for the key and dome light works, headliner, door panels, seat covers, headliner visors are still very nice or like new. I recently installed a brand new Holley 750 double pumper with electric choke. It is set up right, hit the gas once to set the choke and it starts cold perfectly, runs strong, no smoke, no engine leaks, no rattles or hesitations. It could use a locking rear to keep from spinning the tires so easily......Dash has one small 1" crack in the middle and it has a dash cover on it now, not glued down, just on there to keep the sun off. Factory radio works....crackles mostly, but will play if you can get a good signal. All in all, good looking paint, with a couple small flaws and ding or nick here and there, but a very nice car that shows well and gets attention. It will, and has won trophy's for us here and there and will get you noticed while getting you home every time...NO rusted areas or body filler to speak of, floor pans and frame rails are perfect.....car was dealer Ziebarted and sold new in CA. did not leave CA until 2008....it was always garaged and many of the original factory marks, stickers, and warning labels are still near perfect and still in place....trunk paint is original, door jams engine compartment paint are untouched. D/S door latch sticks a bit and it may need a door latch soon. Hope you like it, please call me directly if there are any other questions. Thx my cell 949-322-5831 Car is at my home in Alpharetta/Atlanta and can be seen or inspected anytime before close of auction. Car will be held until payments clear....no trades, no checks, no BS please. Bid to own, very fairly priced reserve for the condition, $$ spent on it condition. We are finishing a convertible for the family would like sell this one to fund the conv. This car is faster (with the 351C) and in nicer condition than my 340 Cuda....for a 1/3 of the price!! FYI: I am not a photographer by any means, and I think the gaps are great, body lines are sharp/good, and paint (depth) color shows better in person as my flash usage and the sunlight that day may have distorted lines washed out the blue a bit in photos....

Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.
New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
