Up for sale is my 1970 Ford Torino. It was just completely redone. Interior,exterior, drivetrain as good and in many cases better than new. I am putting a down payment on a piece of property so it has to go. It has a full Marti report that details just how rare it is.

The engine was rebuilt with 2V heads for streatability bolted to the stock 1V intake. The block was bored 30 over with TRW forged pistons and ARP rod bolts. The cam is a Comp Cam 270 with matching springs, keepers and retainers. Also hardened 5/16 pushrods, crane guide plates and steel roller tip rocker arms were installed. It has new belts, new radiator hoses and a new 4 core radiator. The 4 speed transmission was fully rebuilt and at that time a new pressure plate and clutch were installed. The brakes have been completely serviced. The power steering pump was also rebuilt.

The exterior speaks for itself. We went with grabber orange and satin black for the hood and rear stripes. They were professionally painted on not decals. The paint job is flawless and not much body work had to happen as it was originally from the pacific northwest with 41000 actual miles and not rusty. The under side of the car was also painted black. The bumpers are brand new as are the wheels and tires. I have most all receipts for the work and new parts.

The carpet is new, seats professionally redone, new headliner, new door panels all the gauges and lights work, etc. We put new springs in the rear and new shocks in the front. While we were at it we also lowered the car from stock a couple inches for the look and ride quality. Then exhaust is custom Masterflow that crosses in an x pattern than tucks up nice neat and sounds awesome.

The car runs out and drives beautifully. Im going to hate to see it go. It doesn't have a radio. It is wired up and has new speakers I just never got around to putting a radio in it. There are two small pieces of chrome on the rear of the window that could use re chroming. Those are really the only issues I can think of with the car. You are basically buying a 100 % restored and completed muscle car ready for a show or to hit the streets as soon as you get it.

Thanks for looking and feel free to call or email with any questions

Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
