Up for bid is my 1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport Fastback. This Torino has been well cared for with few owners. I am currently the 3rd owner. I purchased this Torino from Alabama 13 years ago with 54,000 original miles on it. To my knowledge this car was purchased new in Alabama and stayed there until I brought it to Mississippi. This was my first car and a daily driver for me for many years. It has actually been the most dependable vehicle I've owned, which is quite funny considering the age. The car was repainted back the original color around 11 years ago and shortly after won the only car show I ever entered it in. But being an every day driver it does have some wear on the paint such as chips, fades, and flakes which are all minor. The cars interior is mostly original from the factory. This is the sport interior with bucket seats and automatic in the floor console. I'm not much of a bench seat fan for my sports cars. I did replace the carpet which is now faded a bit but that's a simple fix. The seats are original but have just a few seams starting to separate. the headliner also has a small separation of a few inches in the back corner. Other than that the interior is in great original shape. The dash is crack free which is a big deal. The door panels, console, and everything else is well preserved also. As for the body there are a few small rust spots on the passenger side and some on the chrome. Also some minor damage to the passenger rear corner which mostly just chipped the paint more than anything. None of these I would consider major. Other than that the body is excellent! All gaps line up perfect. The doors, hood, and trunk all close very easily and smoothly with the push of a finger. All of the windows are in working order and all of the glass is without a crack, chip, peck or blemish anywhere. The trunk is solid and includes the original Polyglas GT spare. The lights and signals are all in great condition. This Torino has been driven less than 100 miles since the carburetor and tires were replaced new. Also, the dual exhaust (although original) sounds great. This car currently has 82,166 actual miles on it and a NADA average retail of over $11,000.00. I also have some extra emblems and a few other things that will go with the car. This is a rare find. Bid with confidence. Congratulations to the winning bidder!

Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.
Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.
Ford wins second consecutive International Van of the Year award with Transit Connect
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect isn't even on sale yet, but it's already making its presence felt around the world. At a commercial vehicle expo in Russia, the Transit Connect was named the International Van of the Year.
Ford's small work van edged out the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by just seven points to allow Ford to grab this honor for the second consecutive year, which it won last year with the Transit Custom. Not only does this make Ford the first to ever win the award in back-to-back years, but it's also the fifth time the automaker has won this award since 2003 (two with the Transit Connect, two with the fullsize Transit and once with the Transit Custom). Ford congratulates itself for the accomplishment in a press release posted below.
