1970 Ford Torino 5.0l on 2040-cars
Clearlake, California, United States
|
This is a rare chance to own a 1970 Ford Torino. This car has original 67k miles and has been in the same family (until recently) since 1976. It was owned by a gentleman that left it to his grandson after he passed away. Before he died he had told the kid that this used to be a detectives car and it has places on the hood where lights might have been. I don't know for sure but its a good story.
The OD reads just over 67k miles and judging by the condition of the car, interior, trunk and the way she runs and drives I would have to agree not even a lot of wear on the brake pedal. I think that by today's standards this is a low mile car but if you were to buy this one back in the 80's this would have been average miles, Vehicle were just getting to were they would go over a 100k and still be going strong. This one runs strong. The exterior has been resprayed at one point to a brown metallic from its original gold/tan color, Also some conservative stripes were put on too. All glass is good and the body is very straight and has very little rust if any at all. The engine is the stock 302ci v8 with a auto trans and it all works as it should.has stock exhaust manifolds but has real dual exhaust with flowmaster mufflers that have a nice rumble. This one comes with several repair manuals for this car as well as other of the time and the original owners manual and warranty tag (protecto plate). It also retains its original blue and yellow California plates. The Torino was made here in California at the San Jose factory and is pretty much rust free and has always been a California car. The interior remains stock and in good condition with the exception of a seam splitting on the drivers side bottom of the seat. There is a cd player in the car but no holes were cut in the dash. This is a great car if your into Torinos and either dont have the funds to get the GT Cobra version or that that one is just to much. Now is your chance to own a classic muscle car Ford Torino.

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Shelby Mustang stars with Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez in Getaway movie
Thu, 06 Jun 2013Car movies. We keep watching them, they keep making them. Despite Fast & Furious 6 still blowing up the box office (No. 1 in theaters for the second straight week) and production on Transformers 4 being well underway (check out the Bugatti Veyron and Corvette Stingray as new cast members), there's still room on the marquee for more car movies. Next one up is an Ethan Hawke joint called Getaway, which prominently co-stars a Ford Shelby GT500. The first trailer for Getaway, which opens in theaters on August 30, was released yesterday and can be watched below.
The movie's plot centers around Hawke's character, former race car driver Brent Magna, who must somehow use this car, what appears to be a generation-old Shelby GT500 Super Snake he "commandeered," to save his wife. The movie's third co-star is Selena Gomez, whose character we're told is the owner of said Shelby. A 20-year-old having a car like this seems a bit far-fetched - especially in Europe - and on paper, this plot looks like it cribs liberally from Charlie Sheen's 1994 The Chase. But all we've got to go on is a brief plot description and the trailer below, so we'll withhold judgment until the studio firmly has our ticket money in its grasp.
The Shelby GT500 is, of course, no stranger to acting. Before this jump to celluloid, the most fearsome of all Mustang models starred in the return of Knight Rider to television on NBC back in 2008. That gig didn't pan out for the car, the show lasting only one season and 17 episodes. In fact, with its casting in Getaway, the Shelby GT500 is one of the few actors who escaped that debacle with a future in show biz.
