Here you have an incredible and original classic 1968 Ford Torino GT Fastback. This car has been freshened up with new base/clearcoat paint in the original Gulfstream Aqua Color that looks fantastic! Great color and trim combination. It retains the original interior in GREAT SHAPE and original carpet in fabulous condition. The rear hat shelf in the rear window has been refurbished and new tires installed. The car has new upper and lower ball joints, new radius/control arm bushings, tie rod ends, upper and lower control arm bushings, new lower control arms, and new sway bar bushings and retainers. Drives and tracks incredibly well. The 302 V8 runs and powers the car very well and feels every bit as spunky as a 351 that I drove. The A/C is Factory but is not hooked up.

This car is in the dry Northwest and as the pictures show, the bottom of the car is nice and dry showing the factory red oxide primer still. No undercoating covering the bottom of the car. The car was purchased from the son of the gentleman that put on all but a few of the miles on the car before he passed. Original documentation as shown in the pictures of owner's manual, warranty info, selling dealer info, and registration/title application.

I took and posted a lot of pictures to show how nice this car is and to hopefully answer most of your questions. If you have questions, just send them through and I will do my best to answer them. The car still has the original AM Radio in the dash (not sure about the dash speaker). The dash has no cracks or heaves. Gauges and instruments read fine. Lights all work fine. Wipers work well. The trunk is rust free and has not only the new liner but also retains the felt liner that was in the car. Has a new fuel tank, new heater core, heater hoses, cooling hoses, and new spare tire hold down. New plugs, new plug wires. New fuel filter. Has four wheel drum brakes that are power booster assisted. Could use new door felts and all the glass is nice in this car.

This is a nice honest, clean and stock Torino Fastback GT that has not been hot rodded or modified. A true Classic to enjoy and drive and would do very good at show and shines or local car shows. Not too many like this left !! Not the usual Ebay car. Priced fairly for what it is. Try to find one like it?! Don't miss out on this one! Thanks for looking.

Report: GM struggling to market turbo technology

Tue, 20 Apr 2010

In the automotive realm, marketing can sometimes prove just as important as the actual product. Take, for instance, Ford's well regarded EcoBoost technology, which couples turbocharging with direct injection to produce more horsepower and reduce fuel consumption. Would it surprise you to hear that General Motors has had similar technology on the market for over three years?
It's true. GM's first turbocharged, direct injected powerplants hit the market for the 2007 model. The 2.0-liter Ecotec mills put down an impressive 260 horsepower and a matching 260 pound-feet of torque, and they were lauded by the press in the engine bays of the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt SS and Chevrolet HHR SS. But few people outside a core group of enthusiasts actually remember this fact.
Says Uwe Grebe, executive director of GM's global advanced engineering, "We didn't have a badge and say, 'This is the most important thing we will put on all our brochures.'" Ford, however, did just that, and it's EcoBoost engines are right at the tips of all our tongues when we discuss today's most advanced powerplants. So, how does The General fix its mistake?

2015 Ford Expedition stays the course, adds EcoBoost power

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

The era of the body-on-frame, fullsize SUV is rapidly vanishing in favor of smaller, unibody crossovers. However, Ford still sees life in the segment with the reveal of the updated 2015 Expedition, now available (solely) with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. The new truck will make its public debut at the 2014 DFW Auto Show in Dallas on February 19.
The loss of the previous 5.4-liter V8 in favor of Ford's 3.5-liter, direct-injected, twin-turbocharged V6 engine might rankle some of the Expedition's fans, but Ford claims that the change gives the SUV better fuel economy, more power and increased low-end torque than before. Unfortunately, official engine specifications won't be released until later this year, but Ford says engine output will be similar to the 365 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque that this powerplant produces in other applications. The EcoBoost is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and the SUV now uses electrically assisted power steering, for an even greater fuel economy advantage. Ford claims this also allows for better maneuverability at low speeds and better feel at high speeds.
Exterior styling is basically unchanged for 2015. The front end has the same three-bar chrome grille and headlight design, but the lower air dam gets added chrome and LED lamps. The rear gets more brightwork on the hatch, and there's a chrome-tipped exhaust pipe. As before, Ford is offering the Expedition in two wheelbase lengths - 119 inches and 131 inches. A new, optional, continuously controlled damping system alters suspension settings constantly based on 46 parameters and offers comfort, normal and sport modes (just like the Expedition's sister, the recently refreshed and decidedly less-attractive Lincoln Navigator).

Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.
