Power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, air conditioning, remote side mirror, 2 way tailgate, hideaway headlights, wood grain dash and exterior.

This is a rare clean station wagon, it had the same owner since the early 70's and I have the build sheet and probably every receipt from then to date. This is a high option car and everything works except the AC does not blow cold, I have not looked into why. It has the hide away head lights that are so cool and power windows including the rear that all work. The interior is near perfect with the exception of the carpet which is faded, the front seat has been recovered to match and all the mechanical working parts in the power front seat have been taken apart, cleaned and lubed and it works great. The dash is wood grain and the dash pad is really nice, there is fading in the lens over the clock the rest of the dash is clear. The rear side panels are nice and the floor has very few scratches and a nice headliner. The floor pans are near perfect as is the spare tire well and trunk.

The exterior of the car is real nice, the paint is very good with the usual chips, the body is straight with a small dent in the passenger rear quarter panel, the wood grain on the sides is still dark brown although the tailgate is faded. I have not found any rust in the body with the exception of a little surface rust. The hood had been bent when I got it so I put a brown hood on it while searching for a GT hood, the hood actually looks good a most people think it came that way. The hood is in good shape but the paint is bad. The hideaway headlights work but come part way open shortly after shutting down the engine which indicates a vacuum leak some where in the system. I have replaced the switch and most the hoses, the can holds pressure so it may be the actuator. It is missing a grill off the driver side headlight door that may be seen in the pictures.

The engine runs smooth (requires premium gas) and sounds good with the flowmaster mufflers on dual exhaust (it has a nice rumble). I think the engine is the original and has been untouched except for tuning and lubing, the transmission does not hesitate and shifts good, the rearend is a 9 inch stamped 3.00 HD and had tapered tubes which I am told is heavy duty.

All and all this is a very nice car and you may look a long time to find a cleaner Torino wagon if at all. It does need some tinkering with the following: the dash pad rattles so someone may have had it out and never got it tight, there is some squeaking in the front suspension so it may need a bushing or two, sometimes it floods sitting so it may need a kit in the carb and it stops well but may be getting close to brakes. None of these need done to drive they are just things that I would look into, I just want you to be aware.

2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.

Amid Mulally rumors, Bill Ford praises company's deep bench

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Bill Ford went on the offensive to combat the rumors that CEO Alan Mulally would leave Dearborn for Steve Ballmer's vacated position leading Microsoft, adding that even if the 68-year-old, former Boeing exec were to depart, the Ford executive team is in a good place.
"I'm happy [Mulally] is going to stick around. But we also feel really good about where we are in terms of succession," Ford told Bloomberg TV, according to Automotive News. Rumors first cropped up about Mulally leaving Ford when AllThingsD speculated that he was in the running, early last month. In that same report, which you can read here, Ford's board of directors reportedly okayed the CEO stepping down ahead of his planned retirement in 2014.
That opened the floodgates, culminating in a report from a few days ago that the rumors over Ballmer's successor just might be true. The story is especially troubling, as Ford hasn't had Mulally under contract, according to AN. "He's here as long as he and I would like it to happen," Ford said, "We're also cognizant of training the next generation and getting them ready to go as well."

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
