1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport
400 Cubic Inch 6.6L engine.

Almost everything on this car is new as of the past year and a half (over 32K invested), and I have paperwork/documentation for everything. This car needs nothing. It's not a show car, but a very nice, and reliable driver. Perfect for long road trips or getting groceries. Just repainted in the original color (Medium Yellow).

Original 400 motor (Rebuilt) Converted from 2 to 4-barrel. New carburetor, intake, cam, timing chain kit, and pushrods (All Edelbrock) New radiator, starter, and alternator. Disk brakes in front/Drums in the rear. (New Master cylinder, and brake calipers) Almost everything under the hood has been restored/replaced. Too much to list off the top of my head, but I'm happy to answer any questions.

(I still have the original intake and 2 barrel carb if you wanted to revert back to it's original set up.)

C6 Three speed automatic transmission. (Rebuilt last year) Shifts perfectly.

Working heat and AC. (Converted from R12 to R134A) Power windows (New window motors). New rear air shocks, and tires. Ride is incredibly smooth especially for a muscle car.

Interior is almost perfect. Seats have been reupholstered/re-stuffed to match original. Headliner is new. Shoulder strap seatbelts have been installed. All gages and lights work. Great sound system installed under dash so the original radio is still in place. Has a smart phone connection so you can listen to mp3's/GPS etc. Carpet is original. Looks decent, but is torn underneath the driver side floor mat.

Body is rust free with the exception of some bubbling under the vinyl roof. Which is common with vinyl tops, but the roof is solid. Exhaust was converted from single to duel by the previous owner. Sounds incredible, but pipes have some rust.

This is the same model car from the Clint Eastwood movie "Gran Torino", and its value has been increasing steadily since the movie came out. This actual car is also in a movie that is scheduled to release this year called "79 Parts". Check it out on IMDB.

Thanks,
John

Facelifted Ford Focus caught testing in the cold

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

It's that time in the life of the Ford Focus to get a little work done - a nip-tuck here, some Botox there. Yes, Ford is testing a facelifted version of its global C-segment entry, which first hit markets in Europe and North America in May 2011.
Like the touchup on the Fiesta, expect Ford's gaping grille to make its first appearance on the Focus. Our spy photographers point out that this is likely to be a more comprehensive makeover than previous spy shots suggested, based on the additional camouflage seen here on the front and rear ends of this five-door model. New head and taillights are also likely in order, as are changes to the front and rear fascia.
The interior was also snapped and features a cleaner design with a larger central display. Other than that, it looks like some buttons have been changed, making us think most of the Focus' updates are limited to the exterior.

"Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement. "Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience - one unlike any other."

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
