1974 Ford Gran Torino 4 Door No Smog Required! Local Pickup Only!! on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
NO SMOG REQUIRED! LOCAL PICKUP ONLY!! Just registered it this month but ran into a snag. So at least registration shouldn't cost you very much. Runs and all and is road ready. Is in relatively decent shape. No big dents or anything. Bought it off my cousin (used to belong to my uncle) a little less than a year ago thinking I would have time for a project, but turns out I don't. Has a 400, V8 that was rebuilt a couple years before I got it so maybe a few thousand miles on it or so. Mileage listed isn't correct, obviously. Odometer no longer works. C-4 or C-6 auto trans, I think, Crager rims w/ wheel locks, and I still have the key. I did a bunch of the steering linkage, re did some interior stuff (there's a pic of the gauge bezel I re-did), changed out all the locks, got new visor pins, had the carb. gone through by S.D. carb., replaced the rear drivers side tail lens, still have the original grille, changed the oil, etc. I swapped the seat tracks in the front, as well. The driver side was powered but the motor seized so its manual now. All the power windows still work but one gets a little sticky. It runs well but it does need some work. Could use new paint and headliner, new windshield gasket, weatherstripping, the kill switch in it needs to be replaced, there is no radio but some pretty decent speakers in the back. Definitely needs a brake booster and a steering gearbox. Both will run you around $100. I have receipts for everything I've done. It really sounds awesome when you fire it up, too. I frequently run the engine for about 15 mins at a time to keep things flowing. Doesn't get driven too much. I can send more pics upon request. Serious only, please. Thanks.

F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.
Facelifted Ford Focus caught testing in the cold
Wed, 18 Dec 2013It's that time in the life of the Ford Focus to get a little work done - a nip-tuck here, some Botox there. Yes, Ford is testing a facelifted version of its global C-segment entry, which first hit markets in Europe and North America in May 2011.
Like the touchup on the Fiesta, expect Ford's gaping grille to make its first appearance on the Focus. Our spy photographers point out that this is likely to be a more comprehensive makeover than previous spy shots suggested, based on the additional camouflage seen here on the front and rear ends of this five-door model. New head and taillights are also likely in order, as are changes to the front and rear fascia.
The interior was also snapped and features a cleaner design with a larger central display. Other than that, it looks like some buttons have been changed, making us think most of the Focus' updates are limited to the exterior.
Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins. Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Oval could go back to France for the 50th anniversary of that performance and show it can still compete in international endurance racing? Actually, the latest rumors indicate that could be exactly the case, and the car taking that checkered flag could be another revival of the Ford GT.
As the rumblings go, Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others.
It's not all about racing, though. If you win on Sunday, you want something to be able to sell on Monday. The revived GT is reportedly still a mid-engine supercar, but the exact engine is unclear. It's possible that it could even be shown or announced at the Detroit auto show in January, according to Motor Trend.
