Link to video http://youtu.be/dABbgl_zlXo 1971 Ford Torino 2 door hardtop, this is a very solid and original car with 114k original miles. It has a strong 302 V8 with automatic transmission and power steering. It is an off white color with original dark green interior. It can be left alone and driven and enjoyed as is or take it to the next level while you drive it. The car has been lowered a couple inches in the front which gives it a great look. It has recently had some work done including: rear end rebuilt with 3.50 gears installed, new windshield installed and a new battery. The body is very original and solid with virtually no rust. Much of the paint is original and the car does not appear to have ever been wrecked. The quarters, floors, trunk, taillight panel, cowl and frame rails are all very rust free. I don’t see any bubbles in the paint anywhere and there is no evidence of previous rust repair. Body lines are good and the hood is not warped like on many other Torino’s. Door hinges are tight and the latch area on the doors are not cracked out like most of them. There are some dents in the driver’s door and a crease on the passenger rear quarter panel. There are a couple dings in the roof and one in the left quarter. The paint is presentable for a driver but I would call it a 20 footer. It is thin in spots, has been touched up in several areas and has chips and scratches. Much of the paint is original and it is thin in spots, especially the hood from years of buffing. There are various chips and scratches here and there. Valances have some minor dents but don’t look too bad. The previous owner had started to sand the car down in areas for a repaint and he welded up the emblem holes on the rear quarters. The back section of the rear quarters have been resprayed along with the front fenders and other areas of the car. The color matches pretty well but the sanding was not the best so there are sanding marks. It looks ok but the car really deserves a full repaint. Or just dress it up with a blacked out hood and tail panel, rear wing, front spoiler or whatever you prefer. Factory sport mirrors have been added and there is a small hole in each door left from the original chrome mirrors. All glass is good and the windshield is brand new. Front bumper is straight with good chrome. Rear bumper is straight but has some pitting. Grill is in nice shape, rocker mouldings are in good shape and wheel well trim is overall nice but there are dings in a couple of them. Wheels are 14x7’s from a Torino GT that have been powder coated gloss black and have good Firestone tires. They currently have poverty type caps but you could put Torino GT caps and rings on if you prefer. The interior is in good shape overall and is original down to the carpet, which is still in surprisingly good shape. The headliner is very nice, no holes or separating seams. Dash pad has some minor cracking starting but still looks good. Driver’s seat is showing some wear, is splitting at some seams but is solid and does not sag. Door panels are pretty good. Package tray is in good shape and has had speakers added. It has an aftermarket steering wheel, an older AM/FM and non original seat belts. The 302 runs good with no smoke or noises and has been nicely detailed. It is all stock down to the heat riser, fan shroud etc except for a nice sounding dual exhaust system with glass packs. Transmission works well. 3.50 gears were just installed in the original rearend which give the car a lot more power out of the hole. The car drives nice, tracks straight and is smooth on the highway. The steering has a bit of play which is typical for these early Torino's. All the lights work, including the backup lights! Heater works and heat/defroster levers move freely. Wipers, horn and radio all work. Interior lights don’t currently work and the temp gauge stopped working, it was behaving strangely and then quit working. It has a new sending unit so I believe the gauge is bad so I will include another temp gauge with the car. Overall this is a very clean and solid car that is ready to be driven or can be a blank canvas ready to build it the way you want it. Car is sold as is where is. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I have done my best to describe it accurately but please understand it is a 40+ year old car that is not perfect. It is available for inspection by appointment. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time but I intend to let the auction run its course. The reserve is very reasonable on this car. Full payment must be received within 5 days of auction end (no paypal). Payment must clear before car is picked up. It must be picked up within 21 days of auction end unless prior arrangements are made. International buyers are welcome. Bidders with a feedback rating of less than 10 must contact me before bidding or I will cancel you bid. |

Ford recalls Explorer, Flex, Taurus for parking brakes
Wed, Jul 22 2015Ford announced a recall of nearly 8,000 vehicles spread across a broad range of models for a faulty parking brake, which might not engage fully. The automaker has not received any reports of accidents or injuries resulting from the issue. The recall affects certain examples of the 2015-16 Ford Explorer, the 2015 Taurus, and the 2015 Flex. The 2015 Lincoln MKS and MKT are also included in the campaign. The vehicles in question were assembled at the company's Chicago and Oakville (Ontario) plants from May 4 to May 23. All told, 7,165 of the affected vehicles are estimated to be in the United States, with another 799 in Canada, and a solitary example in Mexico. In order to address the issue, owners are asked to bring the affected vehicles their local dealership, where technicians will inspect the vehicle and where necessary, replace the parking brake control assembly. Jul 22, 2015 | DEARBORN, Mich.

In these vehicles, the parking brake might not engage fully, which is a compliance issue with FMVSS 135 regarding brake systems. Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with this issue. Affected vehicles include certain 2015-2016 Ford Explorer vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, May 4, 2015 through May 23, 2015; certain 2015 Ford Taurus vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, May 4, 2015 through May 23, 2015; certain 2015 Ford Flex vehicles built at Oakville Assembly Plant, May 4, 2015 through May 23, 2015; certain 2015 Lincoln MKS vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, May 4, 2015 through May 23, 2015; and certain Lincoln MKT vehicles built at Oakville Assembly Plant, May 4, 2015 through May 21, 2015.

Ford to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales
Wed, 10 Jul 2013Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.
Ford recalls 591,177 vehicles in four separate campaigns
Wed, Apr 29 2015Ford is issuing recalls for a total of 591,177 vehicles worldwide, in four separate campaigns. The announcement comes just days after the discovery of door-latch problems in 390,000 of the automaker's cars. The largest of these new recalls covers 518,313 examples of the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ from the 2013-2015 model years, plus the 2015 Edge. Of these, 487,301 of are in the US and 31,012 are in Canada. For vehicles in cold-weather areas, the bolts that hold the steering gear motor can corrode and fracture. If this happens, it could cause the power steering to fail, but manual control would be retained. There are no reported accidents or injuries from this problem. To fix things, dealers will replace the bolts and seal them. The next campaign covers 50,157 examples of the 2014 Focus, Edge, Escape, and Transit Connect, plus the Fiesta from 2014 and 2015. Of these, 45,505 are in the US, 4,618 in Canada, and 34 in Mexico. All of them exhibit a problem with the fuel pump where the nickel plating can cause the part to seize and the engine to stall, if this occurs. (All of which sounds like recent problems with Nissan and BMW models.) According to Ford, there is one allegation of an accident from this problem. Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module to fix the problem. Ford is also recalling 22,616 units of the 2015 Lincoln MKZ because when the headlights are on, the parking lamps are brighter than they are allowed to be. The light could affect the vision of other drivers. This campaign includes 21,435 of them in the US, 1,066 in Canada and 115 in Mexico. There are no accidents or injuries from the issue, but Ford is updating the software to dim the lights on these sedans. Finally, Ford has a safety campaign for 91 examples of the 2015 F-150 because an underbody heat shield might not be properly installed or not present at all, which can be a fire risk. There are no reports of any actual accidents or fires, though. The affected pickups will have the parts replaced or added, as necessary after a dealer inspection. To see the specific build dates for the models affected by each of these campaigns, you can read about them in the press release below.
