Up for auction and your viewing pleasure today is Rare & Original 1971 Torino Cobra. This is good looking 'Survivor-Quality' car. The single repaint in the Light Pewter Metallic has a good look and a nice shine with all the 'Patina' you would expect of a 30+ year old repaint. If you want perfect paint, this is not it. If you want a Muscle Car with some survivor street cred, this is it. This is a very solid Cobra. The floors, frame rails, torque boxes, trunk drop offs, trunk floor, cowl, etc. all look great. The cowl is in excellent condition and does not leak. The trunk stays completely dry as well. Structurally this Cobra is one of the most solid examples available. There is some minor rust in the door corners and at the lower rear wheel wells. All very typical and they look to be confined to small areas. Please see the photos. Inside the interior presents well. The factory Medium Vermillion is a rare color that really works with the Light Pewter Metallic exterior. The highly desirable bucket seats are in good condition, still comfortable enough for a cruise or whatever. The carpet was replaced some time ago with a black custom kit. There is the normal wear like a crack in the dash and stitching separations in the headliner. The factory in-dash tachometer is a rare option that still works properly. I just had a new windshield installed. They are rather expensive compared to a Mustang, this one cost $600 to have replaced. The 351 Cleveland appears to be the original, however there are no VIN stampings I could find on the block in any of the normal areas. The engine runs excellent with nice, quiet valve train. A slight piston noise can sometimes when the engine is cold but it goes away when the engine begins to warm. All of the factory accessories like the shaker with hold down bracket, exhaust manifolds, heat shield, S-tube, dripper valve covers, 4V heads, cast iron intake are there. The only obvious non-factory component is the Edelbrock 4 Barrel carb. The car has excellent power and the engine has excellent manners on the road or in traffic. The C6 automatic has been rebuilt with a shift kit. The shifts are very crisp and it will bark the tires on the 1-2 shift and the 2-3 shift. The Magnum 500 wheels appear to be the originals. There is the typical pitting and scale, but they look good for 43 year old originals. Larger BF Goodrich Radial tires have been installed with 15" 235 60's in the front and 15" 255 60's in the rear. The larger tires really fill up the wheel wells and give this Muscle Car a more aggressive look. The factory power disc brakes and power steering work excellent making this a very easy car to drive for drivers of any level. Full Marti-Report Documentation is pictured and is included with the car. I am available for questions for 9am to 8pm PACIFIC TIME for questions or to discuss. This car is available locally so I reserve to end the auction at any time. Thanks, Mike. 425-308-0802 |

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

2015 Ford Mustang dealer order guide surfaces
Tue, 13 May 2014Details about the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang continue to leak out. In fact, at this point, it's more of a stream than a drip. Its option prices are already available, and now the full ordering guide is on the web for all of the trims thanks to the Mustang 6G forum. Ford is rapidly running out of secrets to keep about its new sports coupe.
The 21-page guide can be perused in the gallery below and contains all of the standard features, colors, options codes, descriptions. Generally everything you might want to know about the 'Stang is there, other than its price or power. It even shows off the available wheel designs.
The guide finally gives away the contents of the Performance Package for the EcoBoost and GT trims. The EcoBoost's package includes: A larger rear sway bar, new chassis tuning, larger brake rotors, 19-inch black wheels, retuned driver assistance systems, an aluminum dash panel, added gauge pack, 3.55 limited slip rear differential, larger radiator, heavy-duty front springs and spoiler delete. When the options pricing leaked, it indicated the package would cost $1,995. If that is the case, it seems like quite a deal.
2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well
Mon, 23 Sep 2013New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.
