1970 Ford Torino Gt 351 Cleveland 4 Bll on 2040-cars
New Baden, Illinois, United States
This 1970 torino GT was a theift recovery from a chop shop in new york years ago and it has a replacement vin so we have no idea what it started life as, however it has a really good running 351 cleveland 4 bll motor with a nasty cam, real nice headers and a bit of a stahl converter, an a firm shifting c6 auto and a low gear posi rear, and power disk brakes up front. I think it is like 4.30 or something. I drove this car before it was taken apart for restoration , and it will burn the tires at will. Very good brakes and the front end is tight. Full set of magnum 500s with rings and caps. I am a mopar guy with no idea about these fords. My younger brother and his friend bought this car with intentions of restoring it , then they moved out of state and sold it to me, as I had one like this as a kid and I have the ability to restore cars. My wife saw this car and said no way. I had already paid for it so It is now for sale. The buy it now is what I paid for it. The engine alone is worth that. I build torque converters and this one Is nice. The car has had rust in all of the usual places but the floor pans have patch panels have been replaced, as was the drivers lower quarter. Frame rails are good except drivers rear just before the bumper and the drip rail around the trunk is rotten as well as the tail panel needs replaced. Some small holes here and there in trunk floor and previous repairs on floor pan. top, doors and finders are very nice. It has a near perfect gril and nice bumpers. Trunk spoiler, honeycomb tail light panel and a real nice GT hood. The only parts missing are the windshield , and the rear seats. The front bench needs recovered. This is a real cool car that needs to be put back on the road. The original color was dark green. I can deliver in an inclosed trailer for a fee. Comes with new black carpet and headliner . Thanks Chris 314-359-9600

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.
2014 Ford Fusion order guide reveals new base Hybrid model, equipment changes
Tue, 23 Apr 2013We've gotten our grubby little digits on the dealer order guide for the as-yet-unreleased 2014 Ford Fusion thanks to an anonymous tipster, and while there isn't much that's unexpected, there are some meaningful equipment changes to report after the rakish sedan's first year on the market.
Mechanically, the big news is, of course, the recently confirmed availability of the 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. The powertrain replaces the 1.6-liter automatic setup of 2013, though if you want a manual transmission, you'll still get the extra .1-liter of displacement.
On the equipment front, there are newly available rear inflatable seatbelts - as seen previously on the Explorer - along with a new heated steering wheel and cooled seat option on Titanium and Titanium Hybrid models (the latter two options will be late availability).
