This vehicle runs well and has a strong shifting transmission,  Seller recently took the vehicle on a auto trade deal approximately 200 mi away from seller residence, while driving this vehicle a rain squall occurred which attributed to the Ford Torino hydro-planing to the far side of the road causing the DAMAGE you can see.  The accident damaged the front passenger fender, front passenger suspension, front grill, front bumper, hood, lower air dam, headlight trim and other items. This vehicle is still operable and runs well, auto trans shifts strong.(see attached photos)

The vehicle has been inspected by local body techs who indicate hood, suspension and many other parts of the vehicle are repairable, some items will require replacement i.e... fender skin, lower air dam and other items. Will require painting after body work is completed. Seller removed the remainder of the damaged fender, worked on repairing the majority of the suspension i.e... Kingpin adjustment, Joint adjustment, suspension still requires some tweaking and alignment.  NOTE: this vehicle does run but highly recommend vehicle is trailered to its final destination, current wheel alignment makes driving any distance unsafe.

Attached are numerous pictures of the vehicle before the accident and the pictures showing the current state of repair.  Seller has been informed by previous owner the V8 was a crate motor stock built 460 with less than 20k miles, and the C6 Auto transmission had been rebuilt during the engine replacement phase.  This is not a numbers matching vehicle this is a Ford Gran Sport Rod.  Great vehicle for anyone interested in owning and fixing up a unique automotive.  The pricing is reasonable and reflects the current status of the vehicle.  Seller offers vehicle AS IS with no warranties or guarantees.

Reason for transaction: Seller is older and unable to repair the items in need, additionally seller has too many autos at this time and would like to sell this vehicle. Take advantage of the low price and make a purchase of real American hot rod, Nice project vehicle priced reasonable with strong mechanical drive train and engine.

Ford bringing adaptive steering to the masses [w/video]

Thu, 29 May 2014

Within the next year, Ford will offer a brand-new adaptive steering system (unimaginatively dubbed "Ford Adaptive Steering"), and this week, the automaker invited us out to its proving grounds in Dearborn, MI to get a taste for how its new setup works. In function, Ford's system doesn't greatly differ from the majority of other adaptive steering units already on the market from companies like Audi or BMW, but consider this: Ford will be the first non-luxury automaker to offer this technology, and uniquely, the whole system fits inside the car's steering wheel.
Ford's engineers have worked hard to create a system that can be tacked on to the company's full lineup of cars, trucks and utility vehicles, and says that the adaptive steering will be uniquely tuned for each specific vehicle. The automaker will not confirm exactly which vehicle will launch with this technology, but for the purpose of our preview, we tested the technology in a 2014 Fusion - a vehicle with already-good behind-the-wheel feel, one that the company says best demonstrates its current steering efforts.

Ken Block walks you through his new 'Hoonigan Racing' HQ

Tue, 24 Jun 2014

Ken Block seems like one hell of a nice guy. I ran into him at CES this past January, and he dropped the video games he was playing to chat with me for a while. His crew also recently gave our Steve Ewing a tour of the offices you're about to see on this video. Good guy to know.
As it turns out, they're some fairly cool new digs. Dubbed 'Hoonigan Racing Division HQ,' the office is open to Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST owners who attend the driving program offered out at Miller Motorsports Park. The very same program that Ewing reported on just recently.
Or, if you've no plans to buy an ST or travel to Utah any time soon, you can let Block show you around himself in this MTV Cribs-style video. With interior decorating that relies heavily on shipping containers and luxurious amenities like a ping pong table, 10 refrigerators and a bear(?), there's no lack of eye-candy in the driverly HQ. (Judging by Block's outfit, you'll probably not go thirsty if you're a Monster drinker, either.) Take the tour along with the Gymkhana master, below.

The history and future of the Ford Bronco

Tue, 17 Jun 2014



Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.
