1971 Ford Torino 500, blue, 302, automatic, A/C, Rod and Custom front disk brake conversion, new suspension front and rear, new interior, new exhaust, new gas tank and sending unit, aluminum intake and 4bbl carb. Just home from the best paint shop in Arkansas!!
I bought the car in 2010 from the original owner. He parked the car in 1995. Field mice made a home in this car for a long time, so I gutted the interior, put in new floor pans, new carpet, new front seat bottom upholstery, and replaced any damaged wiring. The cowl must have been home base, because the pee ate it up after the drains got clogged with leaves and dirt. I fiberglassed it and then sealed the cowl. The fuse block has some corrosion, but all works fine.
Car was not rusty on the exterior, as It's been an Arkansas car since '71, but the field mice were unkind to the interior. All that has been fixed.
Everything works as it should except the speedometer doesn't read. The dash lights go in and out, so I suspect the fuse holding prongs need attention. The Summit all in one gauge has everything you need anyway, including temp, oil pressure, volts and RPM's. I just had the air conditioning system COMPLETELY replaced with all new components - $1500 and a one year warranty! I went through the car front to back and top to bottom replacing everything to make it a safe, reliable car. I replaced plug wires, rotor, alternator, belts, transmission fluid, brake lines, master cylinder, etc.
Car was repainted in May 2013 and is arrow straight, with just a few imperfections. Runs perfect. The original, vin matching 302 has chrome valve covers now and a chrome air cleaner lid. The scoop is an original 1969 Mustang Mach 1 scoop, with turn signals. Wheels are original Magnum 500's, restored.

Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.
Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
Ford Focus ST, Fiesta ST buyers to get free Octane Academy driving school
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST have created plenty of excitement in the sport compact segment, and Ford is looking to make sure that owners are driving and enjoying their cars to the best of their abilities. As an added bonus for buying one of these sporty hatchbacks, Ford will provide a complimentary ST Octane Academy session to be held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
Attendees will be responsible for travel and lodging, but Ford will provide the driving school free of charge. Included in this two-day trip, ST owners will get class instruction and driving instruction in prepped Focus ST and Fiesta ST models on the track and autocross course. Some karting action will also be involved as will a tour of Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing headquarters located nearby. If this doesn't sound like enough fun, there is also an optional day of activities that includes some more track time in a Mustang GT and off-road instruction in an F-150 SVT Raptor.
Ford told us that those who have already purchased a Focus ST or Fiesta ST will still be able to attend the performance driving school, but the press release, which is posted below, makes it sound like it applies to original owners only. Ford has yet to announce its schedule for the ST Octane Academy or prices for additional activities or guests.
