1970 Ford Torino Rare, 4 Speed, Restored, Marti-report on 2040-cars

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

Mulally confirms he's not leaving Ford for Microsoft

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

In recent months, rumors had been flying about Ford CEO Alan Mulally potentially leaving the company to take a position at Microsoft. Last we heard, Mulally was planning to stick around at Ford through at least 2014, and in an interview today, that bit was confirmed by the CEO himself.
According to the Associated Press, in a report from The Detroit News, Mulally said he will not be leaving Ford for Microsoft, and reiterated that he will remain at the Blue Oval through 2014, if not longer. Mulally has "no plans other than to serve Ford," according to the report.
Mulally did not say whether or not he had been in talks with Microsoft at any point. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said he plans to leave the software company sometime this year.

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.

Ford Australia reveals updated Territory, Falcon via Twitter

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Ford may have tied together much of its global lineup under the One Ford campaign, but one market where it still offers unique products is Australia. That will soon draw to a close as well, but before it does, the Blue Oval's Aussie operations are rolling out refreshed versions of its two unique products. For the moment, Ford isn't revealing much in the way of powertrain details, but it has shown off a couple of snaps of the revised products on its in-market Twitter feed.
First up is the new Territory. The SUV is neither based on a front-drive crossover platform nor on a truck frame, but shares its rear-drive underpinnings with the Falcon, taking it a step beyond the Falcon wagon alongside which it sits in Ford's Aussie range. Like the outgoing third-generation SZ Territory, the facelifted version is dominated by a narrow grille and larger front air dam, but further punctuates its big-chinned look with more rugged lower cladding and other metallic inserts that bring its look up to date.
And there's the Falcon, which Ford revealed in XR8 trim just last week and is now presenting in G6E spec. If the XR8 is the performance model, the G6E is the luxury version, swapping in more refined trim like a chrome-slat grille (instead of a black honeycomb), chrome foglamp surrounds, less-aggressive multi-spoke wheels (instead of five-spokes) and a flatter hood (instead of a power bulge). Otherwise, it looks essentially the same as the one we saw last week, its facelift bringing it more in line with the smaller, front-drive Mondeo (which we know here as the Fusion) and other members of the Ford family.
