1971 Ford Torino Gt "m" Code 351 W/c6 Auto on 2040-cars
Stafford, Virginia, United States

I love the car but just don't have the time anymore to devote to it. Car needs to go to a new home where she will be driven and enjoyed.
1971 Ford Torino GT "M" Code 351C 4Vw/C6 Automatic This is an original Virginia car. I purchased the car from Carlisle at Ford Nationals two years ago off of a guy that had just bought it himself. He purchased the car from a woman here in Virginia that inherited the car from her mother. Her mother was the original owner of the car and it was originally purchased in Virginia. Original GT "M" code 351C 4v car still has the original motor and original C6 trans. The paint job on the car was a respray done by the original owner about 8 years ago. It was a budget respray and is showing typical signs of wear. If you look closely you can see some alligatoring of the paint on one of the fenders. It is a good 10 footer driver quality paint job. All of the chrome has typical pitting and scratches as to be expected and would need to be rechromed to be perfect. The front right corner of the bumper sits higher than the left, the bumper is not damaged so I believe this is and adjustment issue with the bumper brackets. Since I've had the car I have done the following: I changed the interior from the original Ivy Green to black. Got rid of the original bench seat and installed Procar Elite Lumbar bucket seats and recovered the back seat. The originial dash pad was cracked so I installed a black cover-lay over it. Installed new ACC cut pile carpet with Mass Back. Custom center console with iPod dock (for iPod Classic) with two Autometer gauges (the gauges have not been hooked up yet). I swapped out the old radio and installed a new Retrosound radio. I pulled the motor and trans, cleaned and resprayed the engine bay and cleaned up the motor. Installed a new Edelbrock Performer intake. Holley Street Avenger 670cfm carb. New MSD Ready-to-Run distributor. New MSD wires. New MSD Coil. Aluminum valve covers and air cleaner. Chrome oil pan. Chrome water pump. Chrome alternator. New fuel pump. Five spoke Ridler 695 wheels (18x8 front and 20x8.5 rear). New Waldron's 2.5" exhaust system. New Pypes Performance mufflers. New power steering control valve. New power steering pump and hoses. New power steering ram arm. New inner and outer tie rods, strut rod bushings and idler arm bushings. The car originally had manual front drum brakes. I upgraded the brakes to stock style front power disc with '70 Torino spindles. New refurbished brake booster. New master cylinder. New hard and soft brake lines for the font, and refurbished proportioning valve. The dome light is out of a 2001 Ford Explorer (This is a simple mod that is a nice restomod touch and provides significantly more light than the stock light) The steering wheel is an original Ford GT wheel out of a '78 Mustang (these wheels were in Ford cars and trucks from the late 70's through early 80's) I cut 1/2 coil off of each front coil spring to lower the front end slightly. New chrome trans pan. New rear trans seal. New front and rear u-joints.. I recently installed a new ignition switch and headlight switch, and now it needs a new key lock cylinder ($29 part through Dearborn Classics). The car starts and runs fine, you just have to be sure to turn the key backward slightly after it starts to disengage the starter motor. There are some minor dings on certain areas of the car but nothing major, just cosmetic. I've done my best to identify those in the pictures. Buyer is responsible for arranging pick up or shipping. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours after end of auction. Cash or certified bank check only. I have done everything to describe this car accurately. If you are unsure of anything please contact me to ask any questions. |

Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks
Sun, 25 May 2014Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.
Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.
