1970 Ford Torino Rare, 4 Speed, Restored, Marti-report on 2040-cars
South Haven, Michigan, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1970 Ford Torino. It was just completely redone. Interior,exterior, drivetrain as good and in many cases better than new. I am putting a down payment on a piece of property so it has to go. It has a full Marti report that details just how rare it is. The engine was rebuilt with 2V heads for streatability bolted to the stock 1V intake. The block was bored 30 over with TRW forged pistons and ARP rod bolts. The cam is a Comp Cam 270 with matching springs, keepers and retainers. Also hardened 5/16 pushrods, crane guide plates and steel roller tip rocker arms were installed. It has new belts, new radiator hoses and a new 4 core radiator. The 4 speed transmission was fully rebuilt and at that time a new pressure plate and clutch were installed. The brakes have been completely serviced. The power steering pump was also rebuilt. The exterior speaks for itself. We went with grabber orange and satin black for the hood and rear stripes. They were professionally painted on not decals. The paint job is flawless and not much body work had to happen as it was originally from the pacific northwest with 41000 actual miles and not rusty. The under side of the car was also painted black. The bumpers are brand new as are the wheels and tires. I have most all receipts for the work and new parts. The carpet is new, seats professionally redone, new headliner, new door panels all the gauges and lights work, etc. We put new springs in the rear and new shocks in the front. While we were at it we also lowered the car from stock a couple inches for the look and ride quality. Then exhaust is custom Masterflow that crosses in an x pattern than tucks up nice neat and sounds awesome. The car runs out and drives beautifully. Im going to hate to see it go. It doesn't have a radio. It is wired up and has new speakers I just never got around to putting a radio in it. There are two small pieces of chrome on the rear of the window that could use re chroming. Those are really the only issues I can think of with the car. You are basically buying a 100 % restored and completed muscle car ready for a show or to hit the streets as soon as you get it. Thanks for looking and feel free to call or email with any questions Jeff 269 501 8189 |

Ford board OK with Mulally stepping down earlier
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's board is open to CEO Alan Mulally stepping down before his planned departure in 2014, inside sources are telling Reuters. Ford's plan of succession, aside from who would be his actual successor, has been something approaching common knowledge - the 68-year-old former Boeing exec had plans to stay through 2014. This was recently confirmed by Mulally himself on Bloomberg Television and in Automotive News.
Motivation for the about-face comes from what Reuters calls a "growing confidence" in the current crop of Ford execs, led by Mark Fields. Fields, Ford's current chief operating officer, has been tipped as Mulally's ultimate successor, although he's far from the only person with eyes on Ford's top job. Normally, Ford's board saying they're open to an executive, that's done very well for the company, stepping down early would be nearly unremarkable. It's the timing of this announcement, though, that makes this a big piece of news.
Recently, Mulally has been the subject of rumors that he's interested in taking the CEO position at tech giant Microsoft. The Redmond, Washington-based company's CEO, Steve Ballmer, told the media in August that he'd be retiring in a year's time. The fires were stoked when tech website AllThingsD speculated that Mulally would take the top spot, despite denials from the man himself. Could Ford's current boss become the new top dog at Microsoft? Will Mark Fields replace him? Could recently departed Renault exec Carlos Tavares land at Ford in some capacity? Let us know what you think below in Comments.
Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning
Thu, 14 Mar 2013Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
