This is a real 1970 Torino Twister Special, there were 90 Twister Troinos made for the Kansas City sales district in 1970 this is 1 of only 8 registered and known to exists with 429CJ/Auto. I do not have the Marti report you can get one, I do offer a 100% money back guarantee that it is a 429CJ/Auto Twister Special. It is registered in the Twister registry I have bunches of paperwork and documentation with it including past owners names and contact info, I am the third. For the guys who can read a serial number you will see it is good......... OA38J133440

I bought this almost 30 years ago and tore it down to restore about 25 years ago. I have acquired many NOS and used parts for the restoration, this was a running car when I took it apart transmission was rebuilt right before I bought it so I have done nothing to it, engine was just recently rebuilt using all original FORD parts by a local FORD guru. The car has been in dry Colorado for the past 30 years so no new rust has grown but as you can see the body has many areas that need work. I have several factory NOS body sections like the tail light section and battery tray area sheet metal. New patch panels are available through several dealers. I also have some spare body parts like another hood and maybe fenders.

I am not an automatic guy but the reason I bought it was because it was changed from a column shift to a floor shift and would be easier to make it a 4 speed car so I was going to convert it to a 4 speed and have some parts for that also. The interior is complete and nice, bucket seats console, door cards are nice, dash had gauges added so I bought a hole new dash.

Engine has been rebuilt but not detailed and finished and comes with the new rolling stand it is mounted to, all extra parts for the car that I have acquired are either correct for the car an/or date coded for the car. I kept all empty part boxes and old parts. It comes with 2 complete Shaker setups, two correct dated coded carbs. 2 dashes. I even found an original correct exhaust heat shield that covers the manifold. Again this was a complete running Torino when I took it apart so everything is here plus much more that I have bought for the restoration over the years.

I know what it is worth, how expensive it is to restore, the huge risk the next guy is taking and how it is worth nothing right now and you'll be doing me a big favor by just taking it off my hands so please save the comments, if you are serious about buying and see there is still at least $25-30K profit after restoration call me....... Van @ 970.472.9670 with questions.

I didn't put too many pictures up and I know they aren't he best quality but you get the idea of what this is, I do have more or can take specific ones if you wish.

Absolutely...............NO F...ING BROKERS.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.

Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
