1971 Ford Torino Gt "m" Code 351 W/c6 Auto on 2040-cars
Stafford, Virginia, United States

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. |

2018 Ford Expedition spied looking stylish
Tue, Sep 6 2016The Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator got a cool reception for their 2015 warmed-over redesign. But with big, high-riding vehicles once again in vogue, Ford is pushing ahead with a ground-up redesign of its biggest SUVs. Based on these spy shots, the Expedition will continue to serve as the Navigator's more affordable twin. Yes, that's a bold prediction, considering we still haven't spotted Lincoln testing the new Navigator, but study the greenhouses on this Expedition prototype and the Navigator Concept from New York – from the arrow-straight belt line to the extra-long rear window to the aggressively raked windshield, this Expedition's overall profile is broadly similar to what Lincoln previewed earlier this year. While our spies claim the new Expedition will look to the F-150 for design inspiration, we see a departure from past Expedition tradition. Unlike the supposed Expedition spy shots we showed you nearly a year ago – which was nothing more than an SUV with an F-150's nose grafted on, this prototype's front-end styling looks softer and more aerodynamic, with a smaller grille and headlights, almost like an Escape or Edge. This kind of change would explain the additional front-end camouflage. In back, our spies rightly point out that Ford fitted a faux rear end to disguise the rear window's rake – expect the real thing to feature the angled rear window previewed on the Navigator Concept. Look at the last image in the gallery for a better idea of how the Expedition's rear window will actually look. We can't say a lot about the taillights, because of the camo, but non-LED taillights are present. We'd expect Ford to offer LEDs on higher trim levels. While the F-150's styling might not make the transition to the Expedition, its powertrains and emphasis on lightweight aluminum will. Our spies report the biggest SUV will ride on a new T3 platform and feature an aluminum body, with the F-150's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Expect a ten-speed automatic transmission and start/stop tech for sure, while the smaller 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 could slot in as the Expedition's base engine – we're less sure on that one. And we're even more uncertain of the rumors of an Expedition Hybrid. Our spies report it could mate a 3.5-liter V6 with an electric motor(s) and battery packs for a more economical full-size SUV. Expect to see the 2018 Expedition debut in January, at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show.
Mulally will stay close to Ford after he steps down, plans to advise Fields [w/video]
Fri, 27 Jun 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally has less than a week left in his role of leading the Blue Oval before he hands off duties to Mark Fields on July 1. It doesn't look like Mulally is going to be shuffling off into his retirement anytime soon, though. The 68-year-old is being rather secretive about his next move, but he tells Bloomberg in a recent interview that he plans to stay close to Ford. Also, if Fields wants to ask for any advice, Mulally is happy to help.
Mulally took over at Ford in 2006 and led the company through a seriously rough patch in the auto industry. According to Bloomberg, he became famous or his Thursday meetings where executives were forced to deal with any problems before they could leave. Since announcing his retirement from Ford in May, Mulally has been insuring a smooth transition of power by traveling the world to all of company's major locations and saying goodbye to employees and dealers.
In terms of the future at Ford, Mulally doesn't predict any big changes in management style because the rest of the executive team is staying in place. He believes that Fields is going to maintain the processes already in place to keep things going. After all, it seems to be working. The company is predicting a return to profitability in Europe next year and is opening 88 new dealers in China. If the business could get its recalls under control, things could get even better.
Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017
Sun, 15 Dec 2013Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.
