Presented for sale is one of the best

1974 Gran Torino you will ever find anywhere!!!!!!

This is a replica/tribute car made famous by the TV series "Starsky and Hutch", that great 1970's police drama made famous by its weekly appearance. #11 on "Edmund's 100 Most Popular TV and Movie Cars Ever",

this replica is a one of a kind. It has been professionally restored down to every nut and bolt, every Chrome part re-plated for that final show car / OEM look. This Thirty-one thousand original mile car is from California, a rust free purchased in July of 2013 from a A little old Lady which was Modesto and not Pasadena. It has been completely disassembled, repainted, and painstakingly restored using the most current technique--such as soda blasting the trunk and floor pans underneath the entire and frame. Painted back to the original design, if not better than it was done from the factory. We didn't find necessary to soda blast the entire car because it was is such good shape to start with . The frame was completely disassembled, blasted and then powder coated Including all parts like , inner, fenders skirts, core support motor pulls and brackets and to many to list .

   All suspension parts  were replaced down to inner and outer tie rods, bushings , ball joints, drive shaft joints, brakes and rear axle were disassembled and all bearings replaced. Then the rear axle was powder coated. The entire interior was replaced new and the list goes on and on. As for the wheels they are appliance brand which was used on the original "Starsky and Hutch" car. Even the tires are period authentic Goodyear bias ply.

   The paint job and stripe are identical styling to the one on the 1976 car as seen on season three and four except one detail, the color is Viper red and not 2B as it came from Ford-- this mean The color is More red but to the naked eye cant be detected .

Thousands of dollars of NOS " New Old Stock " Ford parts we sought after and installed to make this as accurate a restoration as anyone could possibly do . The motor was not touched because of the low mileage and already ran so well, why mess with a good thing, but the Transmission has been rebuilt and shift kit was installed along with new original Style Stainless Exhaust, polished from the axel back to bumpers to a brilliant chrome type look . Everything that was possible to make this one make this the most amazing example of a Top Flight or Concourse type Restoration. And might be considered museum quality but for sure a true Show Car !

   The stripes are clear coated to the point where you can't even feel them and the paint is Buffed to mirror shine. Last but not least all, moldings have been refurbished, polished and painted where and how they came from the factory to the highest quality possible. No Money $$$ was spared in this restoration and here you have the opportunity of a lifetime to Bid or buy the most one of the most iconic cars ever, as well as an amazing restored car anyone would be envious of.

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.

Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]

Sun, 08 Dec 2013

The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.

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.
