Up for sale is this original 1970 Torino 429 Super Cobra Jet with a 4 speed. I have known about this car since 1985 as I tried to buy it back then, but the owner wasn't interested in selling it back then. Finally after 29 years later, I just got it bought. It has been sitting outside for around 35 years.This Torino was sold new in Cedar Rapids Iowa as you can see on the Marti Report that is attached. The 2nd owner, who I just bought from his wife, bought it on August 31, 1973, and it had 17,329 miles on it then. I remember talking to him in 1985 and he said he drove it until 1978 and he was in an accident in Cedar Rapids Iowa, where he was working, so he quit driving it then , with intentions to fix it up someday, but that never happened. The miles are actual and the odometer reads 36,676. It is hit hard in the right front and right rear corners. The body is real real rough. The floor boards are rusted in the front below the cowl area, along with the rear quarters are both rusted through at the bottoms. it is equipped as the Marti report indicates: 1970 year, built in Atlanta, Torino GT, Med Blue, Black Knitted vinyl seats, 429 super cobra jet, c code so its not a shaker car, 4 speed close ratio transmission with hurst shifter, factory drag pack, 4.30 Detroit Locker locking rear axle, clock, light group, rim blow steering wheel, power front disc brakes, power steering, rear defroster, am radio, hideaway headlights,and rear seat speakers. There were 125 of these made. As far as the numbers stamped on engine drivetrain etc: engine blocl DOVE, both heads DOOE R, Intake manifold DOOE 9425 D, carb in not original stamped parts list 3310-1 0-1 93, Radiator C9AE F1, fan blade is not original, Distributor DOOF 12127 AA Autolite, Exhaust maniflods DOOE 9430 A and DOOE 9431 A, Trans C8ar 7006 D, Rear diff date coded 9K23, waterpump DOOE-a, Alternater DOZF 10300 A 55 amp, steering gear SMA-B 9L11B,and ps pully DOOR-A. So it looks like everythnig is original except carb and fan blade. It looks like the starter is original. not sure if the motor is stuck, but i bet it has to be. There arwe no external cracks that are visible in the block, and all the frost plugs are still in the block. There 2 Ford 7 inch wide wheels on the rear. The drag pack brackets abd cooler are still installed, along with the original hoses. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Mike on my cell at 319-430-1592. Good Luck |

Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]
Tue, 11 Feb 2014A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.
2015 Ford F-150 to get up to 26 miles per gallon
Fri, Nov 21 2014The 2015 Ford F-150 is one of the most important US vehicle debuts in years, be it in the pickup segment or the entire marketplace. While we've already known about the truck's engine lineup, its payload ratings and we've even learned a bit about how it drives, the truck's EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings have remained a mystery. The wait is finally over. Ford has announced numbers that put the latest F-150 as the mileage leader among gasoline-powered, full-size pickups in the US, with its new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 topping the charts. Starting with the entry-level naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6, the rear-wheel-drive F-150 is rated at 18-miles-per-gallon city, 25-mpg highway and 20-mpg combined. Opting for four-wheel drive drops those numbers slightly to 17/23/19. If fuel economy is your absolute priority, then upgrading to the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 is the hot ticket. It improves things further to 19/26/22 in rear-wheel drive trim or 18/23/20 with four-wheel drive. The carryover naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 is rated at 15/22/18 as a 4X2 or 15/21/17 as a 4X4. Finally, the flagship 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 tops the range in available torque and offers buyers 17/24/20 ratings with rear-wheel drive or 17/23/19 with four-wheel drive. "We are delivering with the toughest, smartest and most capable F-150 ever – and now the highest EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of any full-size gas-powered pickup in America," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development, in the company's announcement. Depending on engine and drivetrain configuration, Ford contends that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost's top rating puts fuel economy up between 5 and 29 percent over the current generation, thanks in large part to the truck's lighter aluminum construction. Obviously, these are EPA estimates, and your mileage may vary – ours has. Recently, Autoblog team members have had real difficulty even approximating government mpg estimates on many EcoBoost models, including the new F-150.

2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.
