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 Fiesta ST gets worked out on the track
Sun, 10 Mar 2013We're big fans of the turbocharged Ford Focus ST, and we're plenty excited that the Blue Oval will be offering a similar treatment on the smaller Fiesta here in the United States, too. We first saw the production-ready Fiesta ST five-door at the Los Angeles Auto Show last fall, and Ford has now released this video of a Euro-spec three-door ST being flung around the track.
But not just any track - the challenging Track 7 of Ford's Lommel Proving Grounds in Belgium. The course features 20 turns and plenty of elevation changes along its 2.7-mile loop, and David Put, a vehicle dynamic specialist at Ford, shows just how good the pint-sized Fiesta ST is at handling the lot, even getting the smallest ST up on three wheels every now and then.
It sure does look like a lot of fun, and makes us really eager for our chance to try this ourselves. Scroll down to see the hot little Ford getting busy.
Ford's Mulally now said to be in lead for Microsoft CEO job
Sun, 29 Sep 2013There have been rumors that Ford CEO Alan Mulally could assume the top job over at Microsoft, whose CEO, Steve Ballmer, will retire within the year. Mulally hasn't come out and said that he's considering moving to Microsoft after (or before) his contract with Ford through 2014 ends, but sources in the know say he's the front-runner to become the tech giant's CEO and has opened up to the idea more in recent weeks, AllThingsD reports.
Mulally is no stranger to Washington, where Microsoft is located, having worked in the state for Seattle-based Boeing Commercial Airplanes as CEO years ago. He also recently was an adviser to Ballmer in an effort to realign the company's management structure to help it become more competitive in a fast-changing computer hardware and software market. And when Ford developed its Sync digital interface, it tapped Microsoft to provide the operating system, Microsoft Auto. Perhaps the least crucial connection - but nonetheless an important one - is that Mulally still owns a house in the Seattle area, and it's been said he wants to return there, according to AllThingsD.
A main challenge Microsoft's next CEO will face is how to manage the company's numerous, fractured operations and, eventually, streamline them. But even on this front, Mulally has experience; after all, it was he who ushered in an era of global Ford vehicles, after the automaker had become complacent developing and selling vehicles by region leading up to the economic recession of 2008-2009.
Ford is building this sweet back-to-basics SUV in Brazil
Mon, 02 Jun 2014We're use to forbidden fruit teasing us in Europe. Hatchbacks and diesels from Renault, Citroën, Peugeot, Skoda, SEAT and Alfa Romeo have been a regular torment that we've grown accustomed to over the years. This vehicle, though, is one piece of forbidden fruit we aren't entirely sure we can get over. We need it.
It's called the Ford Troller T4, and if you accidentally read that as either "reborn Ford Bronco" or "Americanized Land Rover Defender," we wouldn't be rushing to correct you. It's a basic, badass SUV, and is the first new vehicle to come from Troller since Ford gobbled it up in 2007. For those with longer memories, you'll recognize this vehicle from the concept that preceded it, the Ford T-R Concept. The production model remains remarkably true to the T-R, as well as past Trollers, but it's a slightly more modern look overall, with LED taillights, contrasting colors
You'll have to bear with us on the details, as we've been forced to rely on the notoriously literal Google Translate to convert the original Portuguese into English, which means some of the details were lost along the way.
