1971 Ford Torino Gt 351c C4 Great Driver!!! on 2040-cars
Mount Laurel, New Jersey, United States
|
1971 Ford Torino GT for sale. This car is equipped with 351 Cleveland, TCI C4 transmission, and the original 9 inch rear with 2.75 gears. The Cleveland is a 2V, but now it has a weiand 4V intake and a 750 CFM AFB Carter competition carb. The engine also has Duraspark ignition with a Mallory profire coil. The exhaust exits threw full length headers into 2 1/2" exhaust, with Flowmaster mufflers. The engine has a larger cam, with a healthy idle, and much more power than it came with from the factory. Should be somewhere in the low 400's. With a steeper set of gears, this car would really fly, but right now, it's not so bad on fuel. The transmission is a C4 built by TCI. It also has a Streetfighter 3000 RPM stall converter. The car has front disc brakes with slotted rotors, power steering with a brand new Borgeson steering box and a brand new Saginaw power steering pump, brand new front shocks and springs, and new Roller spring perches. The car drives more like a modern car with the new steering box and roller spring perches. The 9" rear has factory drum brakes and Lakewood traction bars. There is a driveshaft loop installed under the car too. The body of the car is very nice. The rear quarter panels were changed at some point, and the car was painted at the same time. It has the factory style laser stripes, which are reflective like the originals, installed on the car. The wheels are American Racing and the tires are Firestone Firehawks. Both front and rear bumpers were replaced with re-chromed ones that look really good. The front grill is in very good shape and even the chrome on top of the doors is nice for it's age. The interior is black with the original headliner and rear seat. The front seats and console appear to be from a 72-73 Torino. A full set of gauges are installed in the dash, and there is a tach on the steering column, right behind the Grant steering wheel. Things that need attention. There is a slight leak at the transmission pan, so it looks like it could use a new gasket. The radio doesn't work, but you would probably want to change it, unless you have a great collection of cassettes! Small rust hole in the rear valance panel. The floor pans have a couple rust holes and so does the battery tray area, (as a lot of these cars do). The car does come with new sheet metal for this area. Floor pan sections are available on Ebay and in many catalogs too. Torque boxes are fine. The wiper motor is new, but not working, so could be an issue with a fuse? Maybe the same fuse for the radio? This isn't my car. I'm selling it for a friend. If you have any questions, please feel free to send them along. If you want PICTURES of any other area of the car, let me know, and try to include your email address, so I can send them to you. The car comes with a NY state transferable registration and a Bill of Sale. |

Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Despite the ballyhoo that accompanied Ford's lowering of the C-Max fuel economy figures, the Blue Oval is still seeing strong demand for the five-seat MPV, as Automotive News reports. Speaking to marketing boss Jim Farley, AN says that the controversy surrounding the C-Max's fuel economy figures won't force Ford to change its marketing strategy.
Ford lowered the fuel economy rating of the C-Max after public outcry and legal action by customers that were unable to reach the 47 miles per gallon promised by the window sticker. The new ratings were dropped about a month ago to 45 mpg on the freeway and 40 mpg in the city. Ford offered rebates for current C-Max owners, with $550 going to those that bought their car and $325 to lessees. The issue, says Ford, stemmed from testing standards that allowed the automaker to base the C-Max's fuel economy on the Fusion Hybrid, because they use identical powertrains. The C-Max's less aerodynamic shape wasn't taken into account, though.
Whether Ford's PR team handled the crises perfectly or people just aren't that bothered by a four-mpg drop in combined ratings, demand remains strong for the C-Max among consumers. Ford moved 3,000 units in August, which was a 12-percent jump over July sales. Meanwhile, consumer demand through third-party shopping websites remains strong as well, according to Autometrics, a data analysis company that spoke with Automotive News. While the long-term effects of the adjustments remain unknown, the C-Max appears to have fared well in the near term.
2015 Ford Mustang option prices gallop onto the web
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang is one of the most anticipated cars of the year, despite the fact that production hasn't yet begun. What's a pony car fan to do? It turns out that Ford already has pricing and options information about the vehicle in its dealer ordering system. A few enterprising folks have snapped some pictures from it and have posted them online. You might not be able to drive your car yet, but you can at least see what it might cost.
At the moment, Ford appears to be splitting the Mustang into five models - 3.7-liter V6, 2.3-liter EcoBoost, GT with the 5.0-liter V8, 50th Anniversary and SVT. There are 10 available paint colors, 2 of which require an extra outlay. Triple Yellow is $495, and Ruby Red Tint is $395. Regardless of model, navigation goes for $795, and reverse parking assist is $295.
For both the EcoBoost and GT, the six-speed automatic tacks an extra $1,195 to the sticker, and adaptive cruise control is the same price. The GT also has a limited-slip 3.55 rear end for $395 and a GT Performance package for $2,495. Recaro leather seats add an extra $1,595. For the EcoBoost, there's something called EcoBoost Performance package for $1,995. The system doesn't say what the packages include.
Ford to auction Mustang Cobra Jet prototype for charity [w/video]
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Prototypes developed by major automakers typically remain in said company's custody, but every once in a while, one trickles out into private hands. And that's just what we have here. Ford is donating a one-of-a-kind factory prototype for the 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet that will be auctioned off later this month by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 mated to a T4 competition gearbox, this rare Cobra Jet prototype includes a wheelie bar, chromoly roll cage, Weld wheels, three-link rear suspension, racing brakes, 9-inch rear axle and more. It's painted in a unique satin orange with reflective gray striping scheme, bears the serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1 and is fully ready for NHRA competition on the drag strip.
To be offered with no reserve on Saturday, September 28, 2013, the Cobra Jet prototype's winning bidder will also receive tutelage at Roy Hill's Drag Racing School in Sophia, NC, along with tours of the Ford Product Development Center, Ford Racing headquarters and Ford Design Studios with Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Scope out the video and details below for what could be the ultimate Mustang experience for a good cause.
