This is a rare chance to own a 1970 Ford Torino. This car has original 67k miles and has been in the same family (until recently) since 1976. It was owned by a gentleman that left it to his grandson after he passed away. Before he died he had told the kid that this used to be a detectives car and it has places on the hood where lights might have been. I don't know for sure but its a good story.

The OD reads just over 67k miles and judging by the condition of the car, interior, trunk and the way she runs and drives I would have to agree not even a lot of wear on the brake pedal. I think that by today's standards this is a low mile car but if you were to buy this one back in the 80's this would have been average miles, Vehicle were just getting to were they would go over a 100k and still be going strong. This one runs strong.

The exterior has been resprayed at one point to a brown metallic from its original gold/tan color, Also some conservative stripes were put on too. All glass is good and the body is very straight and has very little rust if any at all.

The engine is the stock 302ci v8 with a auto trans and it all works as it should.has stock exhaust manifolds but has real dual exhaust with flowmaster mufflers that have a nice rumble.

This one comes with several repair manuals for this car as well as other of the time and the original owners manual and warranty tag (protecto plate). It also retains its original blue and yellow California plates.

The Torino was made here in California at the San Jose factory and is pretty much rust free and has always been a California car.

The interior remains stock and in good condition with the exception of a seam splitting on the drivers side bottom of the seat. There is a cd player in the car but no holes were cut in the dash.

This is a great car if your into Torinos and either dont have the funds to get the GT Cobra version or that that one is just to much. Now is your chance to own a classic muscle car Ford Torino.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.

How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]

Fri, 30 May 2014

Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.

Leno talks racing with NASCAR racer Joey Logano

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

Jay Leno has to be under significant pressure knowing the appetite his fans have for a new Jay Leno's Garage video every week. This time, Jay takes a break from his usual format (something he's been doing with some frequency as of late) and goes back to his roots as a talk show host. There's no classic in the garage his episode with an interesting story to tell and a sumptuous exhaust note. Instead, the focus is purely on interviewing 23-year-old NASCAR racer Joey Logano about what it's like to be a racecar driver in his Ford Fusion.
Logano started racing at the tender age of six and has risen up the circle-track ranks to the big show of the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The two of them talk about what it's like to compete in the sport today compared to yesteryear, and Logano shares some racing anecdotes. Of course, they also get into what it's like to be on the racetrack controlling a car with about 850 horsepower, a four-speed manual transmission and brakes without any power boost. Scroll down to watch the video.
