I have a 1974 Gran Torino Brouham for sale. It was my ex mother in laws mothers car she rarely drove it and it has been under the carport since 1994. The odometer reads 31535 original miles. It's a one owner car and was given to me. It's still in her name and I have the bill of sale and transfer papers ready to go and we will send whatever papers you need to get it in your name, she just cant find the pink slip. It hasn't been registered since 1994 so it will cost a little over a 100 bucks to register. I just put tires on it, changed the brake calipers, put brand new brake pads, a brand new gas tank and blew out all of the lines. I put in a brand new transmission filter, flushed the tranny and put in new oil. I put in brand new spark plugs, wires and cap. I had the carborator rebuilt and put in a new air filter. I invested alot of money into this car to make it run amazing! The interior is like brand new no rips, no tears, no creases! It's like a brand new car inside and the engine runs amazing, no noises no knocks. It's really like a brand new engine. The only issue it has is some sun damaged on the back of the top by the back window and the plastic dash in the back is pealing. There's a little dent by the passenger door but thats it. You can see from the pics the body is perfect. This car is a gem! The paint is original and is in pretty good shape all around. This is an ALL ORIGINAL 39 year old classic car. I drove the car fifty miles and it runs amazing and starts perfectly every time and sounds really smooth. With a paint job this could be your own Starsky and Hutch car! Buyer will be responsible for all shipping costs.

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
Ford spotted testing new Focus RS at the Nurburgring
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford is expected to be launching a revised version of the Focus ST soon, but the latest snapshots from our spy photographers at the Nürburgring suggest that the Blue Oval is already working on an even more potent example: the new Focus RS.
Though the partially disguised test mule is wearing an ST badge (along with a Dewey sticker that makes us wonder what adventures Huey and Louie are up to and what manner of duck-tail rear spoiler they may be wearing), there are several tell-tale signs that something else is afoot here. There's a larger front air dam, bigger brake calipers, dual exhaust tips (instead of the central exhaust on the ST) and a reshaped wing protruding from the trailing edge of the roof.
That may all be well and fine, but what's under the hood? We don't know yet for sure, but word has it that Ford is preparing to port over the 2.3-liter turbo four offered in the new Mustang, where it packs 305 horsepower and almost as much torque - potentially retuned to produce even more for the top-of-the-line Focus, which could channel it all to the front wheels like the last model or pack an all-wheel drive system. The Global C platform on which the Focus is based does, after all, also underpin AWD models like the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC.
