Here is one eye popping 1971 Torino GT convertible that stops people in their tracks. Only 1613 GT convertibles were made in 71 which makes them very rare and collectible today. This beauty is 1 of only 31 made with this paint and trim combination of bright red and Vermillion bucket seat interior. It's probably the only original one left on the planet. If you want a GT convertible this incredible Arizona beauty is the one you want. A Deluxe Marti Report documents the build, which is included.
The car is in excellent condition having been in Arizona from 1971 until 2000. It was restored in the midwest between 2002 and 2010 and then brought back home to Scottsdale soon after that. The paint work is stunning having been cut and buffed to a glass like finish. There are zero issues with the paint. All the jambs and inside the trunk look original and are nice. No signs of filler are present, Undercarraige looks original and nice and solid. .All the trim and chrome is excellent along with all the rubber and crystal clear glass and a perfect white power top with glass window. The laser stripes are perfect also. All the gaps are right on and doors, hood and trunk shut perfect. Five Magnum 5oo's with excellent Firestone rubber. The spare has never been on the ground. Under hood and trunk are fully detailed and complete.
Motor is the original rebuilt 351 Cleveland 2bbl with a Select Shift C4 automatic transmission. Motor and trans run and shift nicely as expected. Included is a thick folder documenting all the replacement parts and service performed over the years. Basically everything mechanical has been addressed over time and parts replaced as needed. This is a power steering, power disc brake car with cold air conditioning and tinted glass. Everything works except the radio and the high blower fan position. Even the headlight warning buzzer works,
The interior has been preserved beautifully. There is only a minor wear spot on the driver's seat lower bolster that is not even an issue and can be touched up easily. Door and quarter panels are outstanding along with the dash and console and shifter. . The original factory boot is nice also. Carpet and floor mats are perfect. All window regulators and door locks work flawlessly. This orange interior shown outside in the sun is a knockout.

Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014
The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
Feds looking into Ford Explorer exhaust leak complaints
Fri, 20 Jun 2014There may be a burgeoning problem with exhaust leaks in the 2011-2014 model year Ford Explorer. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is examining multiple complaints of a gasoline smell in the cabin of these SUVs. However, the exact cause of this problem is still unknown.
"The agency is reviewing all available data and will take appropriate action as warranted," said a NHTSA spokesperson in an email to Automotive News. Owners seem to generally complain on the regulator's website of the smell entering the cabin through the air vents. At this time, the government organization has not yet opened an official investigation into the problem, though. When it does begin inspecting vehicles, NHTSA posts a detailed breakdown of its public data online.
Similar problems have been reported about the Explorer in the past, though. In 2013, Ford issued a recall for the 2013 model year of the SUV due to a fuel leak that could cause drivers to smell a gasoline odor and repaired them again later for another possible leak. In response to Autoblog's questions, Ford responded via email: "We are not aware of a NHTSA investigation. We are currently reviewing the case and in the event that any action is required, we will address it promptly."
Detroit Three's lucrative pickup war intensifies as Ram makes big gains
Thu, Jan 3 2019DETROIT — The battle for profits from sales of large pickup trucks is intensifying among the Detroit Three automakers as sales of small cars in the United States shrivel. For decades Ford has had the single best-selling truck brand in its F-Series trucks. General Motors' Chevrolet brand was a solid No. 2, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram was a distant third. Now, that hierarchy may be in flux. Sales figures for December and the fourth quarter released on Thursday show Ram tied with GM's Chevy for the No. 2 spot, as sales of the redesigned Ram pickup surged, fueled in part by demand for an optional 12-inch (30.48 cm) dashboard screen. Chevy not long ago held second place to Ford by a wide margin. GM executives said on Thursday they are bullish on their new GMC and Chevy trucks for 2019.Related: How the Detroit Three's pickups compare on paper 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie review 2019 Chevy Silverado 2.7L four-cylinder review 2019 Ford F-150 2.7L EcoBoost review "There's no doubt this segment (pickup trucks) is one of the epicenters of the auto wars," said Sandor Piszar, director of marketing for Chevrolet at GM. "It's been that way forever, and we wouldn't have it any other way." On Wall Street, investors give electric car leader Tesla a higher valuation than any of the Detroit automakers. But in the nation's heartland, big pickups remain far more popular and profitable than any electric car — and most other consumer vehicles of any kind. Large pickups generate at least $17,000 a vehicle in pretax profit for GM, the company has indicated in disclosures to investors. By contrast, many Detroit Three sedans are so unprofitable, their manufacturers have decided not to build them anymore. 'Hotly contested' Sustaining sales and pricing in the large-pickup segment will be critical in a year when most forecasters expect overall U.S. car and light truck sales to fall. Ford's U.S. sales chief, Mark LaNeve, on Thursday called the F Series "the backbone of our franchise" during a conference call, and added the "segment will continue to be strong, but hotly contested" in 2019. Automakers are banking on pickup truck sales to stay strong even if U.S. interest rates continue to rise. Rising interest rates translate into higher monthly car payments and are expected to deter some buyers in 2019. GM has said 27 percent of Chevrolet and GMC trucks — which can haul trailers by day and substitute for a luxury sedan by night — sell for more than $55,000.
