You are looking at a 1970 Ford Torino Hardtop that is a very solid rolling project car. This car would make for a very simple re-power with your drivetrain from your rusty or wrecked donor car!

This car is done in Hot Rod Black with a White Interior currently, but originally was Q-code Medium Metallic Blue with a Blue Interior.

I bought this car specifically for the 428 Cobra Jet engine and transmission that were in it. Somewhere along the line a date coded 428CJ and CJ C6 found its way into this car and I had a Cobra Jet car in need of a dated drivetrain so I bought this car just to pirate the engine and trans out of.

It is an original F-code 302-2V, C-4 automatic car, there is now a 9 inch Rear underneath with a Traction-Lok in it that works well. Before pulling the 428CJ out of this car I did a few launches and this thing layed down 2 legs like nobody's business!!

At some point a previous owner put a complete and decent 71 Torino GT White Comfortweave Bucket Seat interior in the car including the Console and Floor Shift Steering column. It is a very decent 'driver' interior!

The Hood from the GT car also managed to finds its way over to this car.

Car has some rust in the front floors up near the toe board, but is not terrible and the rest of the underneath to include floors, frame rails, etc are very solid!! The hood, fenders, doors, 1/4's and decklid are also solid as well. The left quarter panel was replaced many years ago with a NEW Ford panel and the right 1/4 had a small metal repair done down at the very bottom of it. The trunk drops have a little bit of rust; but are not terrible. Car also has a little bit of rust in the engine bay near the wiper motor; it is minor but I felt it worth mentioning. Overall this is a pretty solid project car(See Pics)!!

Prior to me removing the engine and trans this was a tagged insured driver not some sort of car that had been laying out in the pasture. This car was a driver and could be again with a minimum of time and investment.

If you have a rusty or wrecked car that has a good drivetrain this car could be for you as it is a solid platform to your build on or if you are looking for a home for that motor you had built that is just sitting waiting for the right engine bay to be dropped into then look no further!!!

This is a Solid car that with a reasonable price where someone could end up making themselves a cool hot rod driver for short money.

I have pulled all of the speed equipment (MSD, Fuel Regulator, Shift Light, etc) and the Aluminum wheels off the car since these pics were taken and it is being sold with a set of roller wheels on it.

If the winning bidder was interested I do have some wheel and tires available as extra cost either American Racing Outlaw Aluminum wheels or Magnum 500's. I also have some drivetrain options available should you be interested including a good running 5.0 Roller Motor and AOD.

This car is a solid rolling project for someone who is looking to put a little sweat equity into a vehicle and end up having a have cool cruiser with a very limited investment. If you look at the sum of just the parts on this car; (i.e. Complete 9 inch Traction-Lok rear end, Complete GT interior with Bucket Seats, Floor console and Floor Shift Steering Column, Solid Original GT Scooped hood) the big ticket items are worth what the price of the whole car is. This car is a great entry level Hot Rod that won't break the bank!!

Please look at the pictures and ask any questions BEFORE you bid!! I want you to be sure of what you are bidding on and for us both to be satisfied with the Torino's described condition and its sale. I expect a deposit within 24 hours of auctions end and balance of payment within 7 days of auction end. This 1970 Ford Torino is a 44+ year old project car and as such is being auctioned 'as-is where-is' and 'as-described' with no warranties either expressed or implied. I have described this 1970 Torino project car accurately so please read the auction text and look at the pictures carefully and make sure this is what you want before bidding. If you are not sure please do not bid. I take my auctions seriously and so should you. Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Find out if the Ford Fiesta ST can match Europe's latest hot hatches

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

The V8 grunt of the Mustang has defined Ford performance cars in the US for the last 50 years, but in Europe, the Blue Oval has nearly as a long history of building some of the best hot hatches on the market with the Fiesta, Escort and later the Focus. The latest Fiesta ST has just hit the roads on both sides of the pond and has been enthusiastically received thanks to its combination of a peppy, turbocharged engine and hatchback utility.
However, Europe is getting a bumper crop of hot hatches at the moment, including the forthcoming, third-generation Mini Cooper S. Should Ford have waited to launch the ST until it knew how the competition performed? That's the answer that Xcar is after in its latest video, and it took the Fiesta to the track and some very misty, Welsh roads to find out. Scroll down to find out whether the ST stacks up.

Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going

Tue, 13 May 2014

Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
