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. |

2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility shows up for duty in Chicago
Fri, Feb 13 2015The latest upgrade for the 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility is all set to patrol the Windy City's streets with its debut at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show. On the outside, the revised Ford police vehicle looks basically the same as the recently refreshed Explorer with a new grille and redesigned headlights. Inside, there's a restyled steering wheel and center console. Unlike the civilian model, though, the PI Utility gets heavy-duty brakes, a more robust cooling system, reinforced subframe mounts and larger diameter suspension springs for more strength. Under the hood, police forces get to choose between either a 3.7-liter V6 with 304 horsepower and 279 pound-feet of torque or a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of twist. Regardless of powertrain, these 'utes feature a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The transmission includes the awesome-sounding Pursuit Mode feature that switches over to more aggressive shifts when it detects harder driving to properly stop crime. Related Video:

Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?
Mon, Feb 27 2017We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
