1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport 5.8l on 2040-cars
Reynolds, Georgia, United States
Engine:351 Cleveland
Drive Type: Automatic
Make: Ford
Mileage: 89,742
Model: Torino
Trim: Gran Torino
All original 1973 Ford Gran Torino survivor. This car is a one family owned Georgia car. She spent most of her life in Conyers, Ga. She left the state twice, once on a week long trip to Florida and once to Louisiana for a funeral. I have the original bill of sale and title on the car. This car has never been Hot Rodded. The body is very solid, there are two very minor rust spots on the driver side rear quarter panel. One in front of the tire and one just behind the tire. (see pictures) Floor pans and trunk floor are solid. (there is on small area in the trunk with very minor rust I have pictured)
Car was kept in a carport all her life. The paint, vinyl, interior, engine and drivetrain are all original. The 351 Cleveland engine runs and the car drives and shifts out very nice. I changed the rear brake lines on the car since I purchased it because the rubber line was collapsed after 40 years.
I haven't painted the car because it is the original paint and I wanted the new owner to be able to see exactly what they were getting. She is a true survivor with only 89742 miles.
The interior is very nice. The driver seat has two tears in it at the seams. (an upholstery shop may be able to repair this) The dash is in great shape as well as are the door panels. The vinyl top is in pretty good shape for 40yrs. The strip below the back glass seems to have shrunk and pulled away from the molding some, and there is one small area at the bottom right corner of the back glass. I have pictures of both.
It comes with 5 original hub caps. There are two pictured in the trunk but I have all 5.
If you have any questions you can email or call Rusty @478-361-4210

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017
Sun, 15 Dec 2013Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.
Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year
Fri, 11 Jan 2013With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
