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. |

2019 Chicago Auto Show photo gallery: All of the grilles
Fri, Feb 8 2019Do you like trucks? How about grilles? Like really big, shiny, chromey, in-your-face, could-be-made-by-Broil-King grilles? Well, the Chicago Auto Show is the place to be. Traditionally known as the truck show of the annual auto show circuit (at least those covered by national media), Chicago has what seems like a small national park's worth of acreage devoted to both consumer and commercial trucks. From humble extended cab Ford Rangers to a mammoth F-650 with cherry picker sprouting from its aft quarters, there's bound to be a truck for everything. And they all have grilles. So above is our gallery devoted to them, because hell, why not? Should you want to know about the trucks attached to those grilles, check out our coverage below.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
The 11 best scenes from the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed
Tue, Jun 30 2015Over the last three days, the Goodwood Estate has played home to the eponymous Festival of Speed. Thrown by the biggest gearhead in the British aristocracy – Charles Gordon-Lennox, the Earl of March and Kinrara – the Festival of Speed is essentially a tremendous, gasoline-fuelled party, complete with a very large lawn sculpture, that features the world's hottest, weirdest, fastest, and loudest race, production, and historic models. While there are quite literally dozens and dozens of videos from the event – not to mention the full-day replays (of which only day one is available, at present) – we've sifted through them to pluck away the very best. There's stuff from the official Goodwood YouTube channel, as well as several videos from automakers and other third-party channels, and it's all available below. 2015 Ford Mustang GT350R Looks Barely Controllable If you thought the highest-performance Ford Mustang would somehow get more tractable or civilized once it moved to an independent rear suspension, this video shows you have nothing to worry about. Watch as an unnamed driver wrestles the new Shelby GT350R and its flat-plane, 5.2-liter V8 up the hillclimb circuit. Even with the new suspension and sticky tires, this Mustang wants to go any direction but straight, especially following its launch. 2016 Ford Focus RS, Is Very Loud, Blue Ken Block makes his first appearance on our list. Before he steps into his Hoonicorn Mustang, though, the Gymkhana expert tackled the hill in the all-new Focus RS. The vicious bellow of the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is the star of this commentary-free video, although the gorgeous Nitrous Blue paint job is a nice accompaniment, as well. 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn Runs Hill, Nearly Kills Lord March Mr. Block's two runs behind the wheel of the Hoonicorn were, unsurprisingly, very eventful. While one attempt goes off without a hitch, seeing the American rally driver slip and slide his way to the top of the hill while taking a short break for a donut, the other is slightly more dramatic. Block, along with Lord March in the passenger seat, carries a bit too aggressive an angle into a turn and nearly puts the NASCAR-powered Mustang into the hay bales. Check out the first video above, and the second one below. Kimi Raikkonen Makes Us Miss F1's V8 Era The latest Formula One cars have been maligned for the lackluster noise produced by the new 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6.
