1971 71 Ford Torino Brougham 1641 Original Miles on 2040-cars
Harrodsburg, Kentucky, United States
1971 Torino Brougham. This car is like no other you will ever find. Basically the whole car is NOS It has 1641 miles on it. Yes I said 1641 miles this car is truly museum quality. It was bought in Aug 1971 driven for a month then wrecked in the left front. It was then taken straight to a heated paint shop covered up and left for 43 years. It has never been wet so the whole underneath of the car is brand new all fitting underneath are as shiny as they were from the factory. The car also has never been in the sun so their is no sun fade anywhere on it. The motor has been stared three times since 1971 last started a month ago with ease like a brand new car. The motor has the original oil, air filter, antifreeze still in it. The only thing that has ever been done to it had the dust wiped off of it carefully. The interior is the same way absolutely perfect. The steering wheel looks like it has never been touched and the seats look like they have never been sat in. The only damage inside is on the lower dash where his left knee hit it in the wreck. The vinyl top is still in perfect condition their is a dent in the top that should pop right out. The paint would need to be redone I think because over the years as it sat in the corner, overspray from the paint shop found its way to it and the paint should look as good as the underneath and the interior. The trunk of the car is also absolutely perfect. Has all original tires and hubcaps and bumper jack. What it will need to be fixed left fender drivers door hood and grilles and bumper. I still have the drivers door so all the window hardware is their. I have always called this the Jay Leno car because of its factory condition. If this car does not sell I will be parting it out because these parts are worth a ton. I know cobra people would love to have the body and floors out of it. I hope someone gets it and puts it in a museum where it belongs. Feel free to call with any other questions.859-339-4113

Ford sells 7-millionth Explorer in America
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Say what you will about the evolution of the Ford Explorer, from roofed Ranger to body-on-frame sport utility vehicle to unibody crossover - the bottom line is that it's been a tremendously successful model for Ford. In fact, the Blue Oval automaker has sold seven million Explorer models in the United States alone.
The milestone, marked nearly a quarter-century after the introduction of the original in 1990, comes on the eve of the introduction of a new Explorer at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week. We don't yet know how the new Explorer will shape up, but we're mere days away from finding out.
Now heading into its sixth generation, the Explorer has formed the basis of Ford's utility lineup for over two decades. The Explorer landed on the market right around the time that the Bronco was trailing off, predating the company's expansion into larger SUVs like the Expedition and Excursion and crossovers like the Escape, Edge and Flex.
Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.
Ford Transit Skyliner Concept does discreet luxury in NYC
Thu, 17 Apr 2014There's something to be said for luxed-out vans. They're cool, and as a means of getting chauffeured about, they're extremely comfortable and far more low key than your typical executive luxury sedan. For the 2014 New York Auto Show, Galpin Auto Sports has shown the potential of the new-for-the-US Ford Transit as an ultra-luxurious people hauler.
The Transit Skyliner Concept, which we previewed last week, sports four finely crafted captain's buckets that can be moved into different formations based on need. Want to watch a movie? The seats can be swung around to face a 52-inch screen. Riding along with some business associates? A table can be popped up. There's even a configuration for tailgating.
The materials are, unsurprisingly, pretty plush. The leather seats and wood floors (yes, wood floors in a van) look great, while the trunk and its customized luggage are a nice touch, as well.
