Here is a 1970 Torino GT with an M code 351C 4V, 4speed and 3.25 9" rearend. Rare factory Black with laser stripe and white bucket seat interior. It also has power steering, hidden headlights and 15" Magnum 500's. Comes with Marti report and original build sheet. Oddly enough considering the color combination the car was built on October 31, 1969 (Halloween). It has been in the Seattle area it's whole life and was likely garaged much of its life. Odometer shows 21k miles and by the looks of things I would say it's 121k and not more.. This is a car that can basically be driven as is or do a very light restoration.

The body is very straight and solid. The paint is weak, thin in many spots with lots of chips. I believe most of the paint is original except for the hood and tops of the front fenders where the paint is cracking badly. The rear valance has also been replaced and painted at some point. Looks like a little bodywork was done to one front corner of the hood also. The rest of the body is very straight with no other evidence of repairs or patch panels. The trunk looks like new. There is one small dent in the rocker and a few dings but nothing major at all. Almost no rust on this car with very solid quarter panels, trunk, trunk drop-offs, trunk lip, cowl etc. There are a few very small bubbles in spots such as the driver's door and a couple on the quarters. There is also a bit of rust at the very front of the driver's side floor at the seam. There are typical cracks around the door latches on both sides. Driver's door has good hinges and opens and closes nicely, Passenger door needs hinge bushings/pins. Glass is good. Hidden headlights are overall in pretty good shape compared to most. They have a crack at the top on one side and the grill center has broken mounting tabs. Headlight doors will need rechroming. Front bumper is straight but chrome is weak. Rear bumper has a slight tweak near the center that is not all that noticeable, chrome is decent but not perfect. Laser stripes look original and are showing their age. 15x7 Magnums are reproduction and look nice but do have some minor pitting. Tires are 245/60R15, they have good tread and are not that old.

Interior is mostly original except for the front and rear seats which were recovered. Original dashpad is nice with no apparent cracks. Carpet, door panels, headliner and rear package tray are original and showing wear. Original radio is missing but the hole has not been cut out.

The 351C 4V is not #'s matching. It is a 72 block which I am told has 4 bolt mains but I have not verified it. Retains original heads, intake, exhaust manifolds etc. Engine has fairly low miles and has no smoke or noises. Transmission works well as does the original Hurst shifter that still retains the original T handle with set screw but is missing the reverse lockout rod. Clutch has a bit of chatter as many old musclecars do. Drives smooth and straight with typical play in steering. Brakes seem to work fine. Lights and wipers work but heater blower motor is not currently functioning and I have not looked into it. Gauges work although temp gauge seems to read higher than actual temp so it probably needs a sending unit. It runs and drives as is but it has been sitting for the last 5 years or so and it could probably use a some general maintenance before it is driven regularly. It has a nice 2.5" dual exhaust system that sounds good. It does have a small leak at the driver's side manifold.

Overall this is a solid Torino with very desirable options and color combination. It looks great driving down the road and still got compliments when I drove it. It can be driven as is with a little maintenance or restored.

Car is sold as is where is. I have done my best to describe it but please understand it is 40+ years old and needs work. It is available for inspection by appointment. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. $500 deposit due within 3 days with balance due in 7 days. Car must be picked up within 21 days unless prior arrangements are made. Shipping arrangements and costs are the responsibility of buyer. Bidders with a feedback rating of less than 10 must check with me before bidding or I will cancel your bid.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.

Man has surgery to remove T-Bird turn signal that's been in his arm for 51 years

Fri, Jan 2 2015

In 1963, real estate agent Arthur Lampitt was driving a new Ford Thunderbird near East Peoria, Illinois on his way to an appointment when he collided head-on with a truck. A massive accident that was so bad that it was originally reported as a fatal crash, Lampitt suffered a broken hip and that became the focus of doctors' efforts. In fact, no one noticed the fact that the turn-signal stalk had been broken off the steering column and had lodged itself in Lampitt's arm. Fast-forward to around ten years ago, when Lampitt set off a courthouse metal detector because of a "slender object, about the size of a pencil" in his arm. Despite that unnerving discovery, the doctor who examined Lampitt said that since it didn't hurt, he needn't worry about it. This year, however, it did start hurting and the affected arm started to bulge. Lampitt decided to have the issue seen to, and suspected it might have something to do with his 1963 accident. When he looked through photos of the wreck taken by a friend, he noticed the turn-signal stalk of the Thunderbird missing and figured that was the culprit. After a 45-minute outpatient surgery, the surgeon verified it: a slim, slightly bent and corroded, seven-inch metal cylinder with a trumpeted end. The surgeon said a protective pocket had formed around it, which is why it could remain in Lampitt's arm so long, but it was still unusual - "We see all kinds of foreign objects like nails or pellets, but usually not this large." Lampitt, who is expected to make a full recovery, says he might make a keychain out of it, once he's done just holding it.
