1970 Torino GT Convertible – Shaker Hood
VIN # OH37M107868
This car will be available for viewing
in person at the Goodguys 9th
Nashville Nationals May 16, 17, & 18 at LP Field, Tennessee Titan Stadium, 1
Titans Way, Nashville, TN 37213. It will
be in the Swap Meet area. All offers
will be considered, and I reserve the right to sell this car outside of this
e-bay auction.
Up
for auction is my 70 Torino GT Convertible.
Runs and Drives fine. I drive it
on the weekends and even take it to work if the weather is good and no chance
of rain. My dogs love going for rides in
the Torino especially if the trip involves going to an establishment with a
drive through window. This is far from being
a trailer queen show car, but it always gets lots of attention and compliments
everywhere we go. I have put “tons of
Money and tons of work” into it over the years I have owned it.
This is a rare car, only 3900
Convertible GTs built. You almost never
see a Shaker Hood 70 Torino GT Convertible on E-Bay. I also have never run across one at any car
show. For someone who wants an
unmolested original car there are several changes that have been made. When I
bought the car it had been repainted a BRIGHT Lime green. The original color (listed in the Marti
Report) was “Medium Ivy Green Metallic. I think it looks better in red. If you buy the car and want to return it as
close to original as possible you will also have to remove the A/C system that
I took from another 70 Torino as well as the hide-away headlights that were not
original to this car. The motor is also not
the original 351C with 4V heads, but a more common 2V motor that was replaced
somewhere along the way before I took ownership.
This car is pretty rare and deserves
more attention/restoration than I can afford to give it. I have certainly improved this car since I
have owned it. It can now be driven and
enjoyed. There is still a lot that needs
to be done. Rust in the trunk area is pretty bad. The front suspension has an annoying squeak.
I’m not sure what it the source is. I
have not highly pursued it because my original intent was to completely redo
and modernize the suspension.

Ford Mustang GT350 seen and heard in motion for the first time
Fri, 27 Sep 2013We just recently saw our first spy shots of the next-gen hi-po Ford Mustang slated to replace the Shelby GT500, but now we're getting our first look - and listen - of prototypes captured on video. Mustang6g.com has the video (along with some different spy shots), which show that, if nothing else, SVT knows how to tune an exhaust system. The :50 mark is a good example of this, but fast-forward to around 2:00 where the driver revs the engine and really gets on the throttle hard taking off from a stop.
There's still no definitive evidence that the next-gen SVT Mustang - said to be called GT350 - will be naturally aspirated, but it sounds just as menacing as the current Shelby GT500. While the video posted below exhibits the sort of quality that is to be expected from someone driving while trying to film someone who is attempting to elude being filmed, it's still exciting to see and hear this new Mustang in motion.
Autocar pits Formula Ford against Germany's finest
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford has quite the racing pedigree, but usually, its racers are relegated to the track. Not the new Formula Ford EcoBoost, though. It's a turbocharged, open-wheeled racer complete with a 200-horsepower, 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine... and it's legal on the roads of the UK.
That's stressed in this video from Autocar, with the mag going so far as to show the car's tax disc and license plates. Being a road-legal offering, it's tempting to see just how well an open-wheeler that delivers racecar-like performance while also netting over 100 miles per gallon (assume this is on the British cycle, for obvious reasons) stacks up against modern performance cars.
Autocar lined up the Formula Ford against an Audi R8 V10, a BMW M6 Gran Coupe and a Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG in a number of situations to see which would come out on top. Take a look below for the full video.
Introducing the 1965 Ford Mustang
Sat, 24 Aug 2013Put on your space suits and diving bell helmets, for it's time to step into a time capsule. The 50th anniversary of a historic model, like, say, the Porsche 911 this year, is certain to bring flights of nostalgia. This historical trip with the 1965 Mustang, though - preliminary hype for next year's anniversary, we know - is a swell museum exhibit for anyone who enjoys bygone days of the automobile.
Lee Iaccoca gave a speech to motoring journalists on April 1, 1964 at the New York World's Fair to introduce a sporty car for younger drivers. His opening line: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to one of the proudest moments of our lives." The company was so excited by what it had made that the Mustang was Ford's first "International Press Introduction," being introduced to some 2,000 journos around the world on the same day in the US and 11 European cities. Even through its difficult points, no one at the time could have known how well the Mustang would acquit that pride.
After the intro, the press drove Mustangs 750 miles from New York to Dearborn, MI, reading press kits that touted features like the "vertical, three-sectional taillights/turn signals," "170" six-cylinder engine with 101 horsepower and the available Cruise-O-Matic transmission.
