I love the car but just don't have the time anymore to devote to it. Car needs to go to a new home where she will be driven and enjoyed.
1971 Ford Torino GT "M" Code 351C 4Vw/C6 Automatic This is an original Virginia car. I purchased the car from Carlisle at Ford Nationals two years ago off of a guy that had just bought it himself. He purchased the car from a woman here in Virginia that inherited the car from her mother. Her mother was the original owner of the car and it was originally purchased in Virginia. Original GT "M" code 351C 4v car still has the original motor and original C6 trans. The paint job on the car was a respray done by the original owner about 8 years ago. It was a budget respray and is showing typical signs of wear. If you look closely you can see some alligatoring of the paint on one of the fenders. It is a good 10 footer driver quality paint job. All of the chrome has typical pitting and scratches as to be expected and would need to be rechromed to be perfect. The front right corner of the bumper sits higher than the left, the bumper is not damaged so I believe this is and adjustment issue with the bumper brackets. Since I've had the car I have done the following: I changed the interior from the original Ivy Green to black. Got rid of the original bench seat and installed Procar Elite Lumbar bucket seats and recovered the back seat. The originial dash pad was cracked so I installed a black cover-lay over it. Installed new ACC cut pile carpet with Mass Back. Custom center console with iPod dock (for iPod Classic) with two Autometer gauges (the gauges have not been hooked up yet). I swapped out the old radio and installed a new Retrosound radio. I pulled the motor and trans, cleaned and resprayed the engine bay and cleaned up the motor. Installed a new Edelbrock Performer intake. Holley Street Avenger 670cfm carb. New MSD Ready-to-Run distributor. New MSD wires. New MSD Coil. Aluminum valve covers and air cleaner. Chrome oil pan. Chrome water pump. Chrome alternator. New fuel pump. Five spoke Ridler 695 wheels (18x8 front and 20x8.5 rear). New Waldron's 2.5" exhaust system. New Pypes Performance mufflers. New power steering control valve. New power steering pump and hoses. New power steering ram arm. New inner and outer tie rods, strut rod bushings and idler arm bushings. The car originally had manual front drum brakes. I upgraded the brakes to stock style front power disc with '70 Torino spindles. New refurbished brake booster. New master cylinder. New hard and soft brake lines for the font, and refurbished proportioning valve. The dome light is out of a 2001 Ford Explorer (This is a simple mod that is a nice restomod touch and provides significantly more light than the stock light) The steering wheel is an original Ford GT wheel out of a '78 Mustang (these wheels were in Ford cars and trucks from the late 70's through early 80's) I cut 1/2 coil off of each front coil spring to lower the front end slightly. New chrome trans pan. New rear trans seal. New front and rear u-joints.. I recently installed a new ignition switch and headlight switch, and now it needs a new key lock cylinder ($29 part through Dearborn Classics). The car starts and runs fine, you just have to be sure to turn the key backward slightly after it starts to disengage the starter motor. There are some minor dings on certain areas of the car but nothing major, just cosmetic. I've done my best to identify those in the pictures. Buyer is responsible for arranging pick up or shipping. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours after end of auction. Cash or certified bank check only. I have done everything to describe this car accurately. If you are unsure of anything please contact me to ask any questions. |

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia
Fri, Jan 16 2015These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.

Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average
Tue, 11 Jun 2013We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).
