Up for auction is a 1971 Ford Torino 500 model, uniquely equipped.  Its powered by an M code 351 4 barrel Cleveland engine backed by its original C6 transmission.  The 9" rear end houses its original 3.00 geared traction lock differential.  The engine runs strong and the trans shifts like it should.  It has a nice cam in it but could use a stall converter. REAL NICE full length dual exhaust with Flowmaster 44's.  Looking at the Marti report, it shows the car was not dealer ordered for stock but specifically with these options by a customer.  Along with the drivetrain, it was equipped with power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, tinted glass, visibility group (under hood, trunk, glove box and map lamps), sport mirrors, styled steel wheels and the in dash tachometer.  The interior is on good shape but could use a dash pad or a dash cap.  door panels, upholstery, headliner all in nice shape.  This is a very solid car as it spent most of its life North Carolina.  All lamps work, turn signals, brakelights, headlights, horn, wipers, windshield washer, heater fan, dash lights, tachometer, door locks, parking brake. Brake pads are at about 50% and rotors are in good shape.  Car starts right and and runs/drives/stops good.  No smoke, knocks or ticks. The car is not a rust bucket, it has nice floors, doors, cowl and trunk.  The front shock towers have NOT been torched for greasing the upper control arms.


New window crank knobs and door lock knobs, dome lamp lens, Duralast Gold battery, reproduction battery cables, battery hold down and bolts, remanufactured correct carburetor, wiper refills in original frames, pre-bent fuel line from fuel pump to carburetor, Monroe front shocks, Cooper Cobra tires.  New intake manifold gaskets.  I do have the original shoulder belts and they go with the car along with the air conditioning cpompressor.  The compressor is not frozen so it should be good.  I have receipts and paperwork going back to the mid 60's and covering 4 different owners.  The vehicle also retains its original owners manual, operators manual, warranty card, starting instructions sleeve and warrranty facts guide.  It has all 5 of the styled steel wheels.  I have two correct non-GT center caps for the wheels also.

This is a one time listing only, it will NOT be relisted.  The ONLY reason its listed is I have found a convertible I want.  The reserve is what I have, total, into this car which is VERY reasonable. Clean Michigan title in my name.

Any questions, just ask.

I will work with your shipper of choice.  The vehicle can stay here for a maximum of 2 weeks but it will be parked outside of the garage.

$500 deposit due within 24 hours thru paypal.  Final payment due within 48 hours of auctions end.  Aki questions first, bid second.  Don't bid if you can't buy it.  You win the auction, you bought it.   Vehicle is sold as is, where it is.

Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.
