1974 Ford Gran Torino Starsky & Hutch Clone! Movie Car, Priced To Sell! 351 C!! on 2040-cars
Piedmont, South Carolina, United States
Thanks for checking out this cool ride offered by M.E.S. Motorsports; where our cars are notorious for Making Everyone Stare! What we have for sale here is a 1974 Ford Gran Torino Starsky & Hutch clone. This is a really neat car that turns heads wherever it goes. Great for driving to local cruise ins and such or take it to the next level! Either way it'll be fun along the way. History – We picked this car up from a gentleman in GA that builds movie cars for fun and even rents some of them out. We were told that it was a southern car at its life. He had built this car and then parked it for a year or so when we ran across it. It would not stay running when we acquired it so we trailered it home and began to work on it. Now she runs like a champ. Drivetrain – 351 Cleveland engine with a 3 speed automatic transmission. We put a newly rebuilt Holley 500 carburetor on it which helped bring it alive. We had the transmission freshened up to repair all the leaks and had a new transmission cooler with all new lines installed as well. New U-Joints were also installed at the driveshaft. Runs out and shifts very smoothly. We also had new exhaust ran from the manifolds back with new Flowmaster mufflers. Sounds great! Gas tank was boiled out and we installed a new sending unit and fuel pump with inline filter. New drive belts and a fresh oil change. The rest of the fluid were topped off as well so she is ready to go! Power steering and power brakes make this one easy to drive. Exterior/Body – The car was painted already when we got it. The did a pretty decent job overall but it is not a concourse show paint job. The car was not disassembled for paint. Looks presentable and has a nice shine to it. The black pinstripe is vinyl and was not painted on. Overall the body is straight and the glass is original. There is some rust in the lower quarters and trunk. Nothing that keeps you from enjoying the car though. Some of the original chrome trim is showing its age but the bumpers are in fairly good shape. Underneath - Has not been detailed or painted. Floors and frame all seem solid. Interior – Much of the interior is new and it looks good. New carpet, dash cap, seat covers and door panel covers. Headliner is nice. There is currently no stereo in the car. No heat or AC. Wheels/tires – Correct style 14" Mag wheels. They were pretty worn looking so we had them powder coated an aluminum chrome look so that they would be easier to maintain. They turned out nice. The tires have some good life left on them too. Known issues – Rust areas mentioned above. No heat/AC. Column shifter is loose. Passenger side marker light is broken. No stereo. Paint is nice but not perfect. Engine bay could use a good detailing. Title - The car came from GA where they do not always issue titles for cars this age. Therefore our DMV had to create one. Because of this they had to put "undisclosed liens" on the title for 120 days. I have the title in my possession and can get a new one in the next couple of weeks if you are not able to use this one. It is a clear title with no liens on it. Contact me for me details about this or if you have any questions or concerns.

About us - M.E.S. Motorsports, LLC was founded and started by myself and my best friend of almost 30 years now. While M.E.S. was “officially” put into action around 2012, it really started back in the 90’s during our high school days. Even back then we were in each other’s garage every weekend working on our cars. We have always shared the same enthusiasm for that one thing…..Automobiles! Hot rods, classics, customs, sports cars, fast cars, loud cars, basically anything with 4 wheels and an engine. For as long as I can remember we’ve always enjoyed “playing” with cars and recently decided to share our passion and creativity with others and thus M.E.S. Motorsports, LLC was officially launched . At this time we are not licensed car dealers but rather auto enthusiasts with a passion for buying and selling cars to and from other auto enthusiasts and collectors. Our goal is to sell cars that you can actually get into and drive anywhere! We believe that cars are actually meant to be driven on the road and not just stored. A lot of the cars that we find are from individuals who are simply not using them anymore or that started restoring them but never finished. Some cars may just need some cleaning and a tune up while other may need paint or finish work. Whatever the case is, we try to address any issues and get them road worthy. We hate to see any car just sitting, rotting or not being used. We believe that everyone out there should have the car of their dreams and that they should be able to drive it anywhere they want to go!

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority
Sat, Jul 18 2015Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty
Wed, 28 Nov 2012There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.
