 Here is one of the cleanest,lowest mile 1976 Ford Torino 4dr Sedans in the country I'm pretty sure.

Bought from the stereotypical little old lady in Ohio who owned it from brand new in 1976 till the Spring of 2013 when it was sold to the gentleman I bought it off several months later. Car still has a clean Ohio title.

This Torino has an unbelievable 28,979 ORIGINAL miles on it and was garage kept it's entire life by the original owner and has been garage kept by me since the day I bought it and as you can see by my pictures, is still garage kept.

Interior is green and is a 9.9 out of 10...like brand new also was never smoked in.

Exterior was Ford Factory Light Yellow, I had it painted Ford Bright White, I bought the car with the intention of making it into a 1976 Sheriff's Police Patrol Vehicle from Cook County,Illinois. Even if I would have decided to just drive the car I would have had it painted anyway as I did not like that sickly yellow color.I did have the inside trunk done to the white color change but left the door jams yellow to do them myself and I have the extra paint to do them,saves about 1200.00 off of the paintjob which I had already spent 1500.00-didn't see the need to make it 2700.00

 Due to family and work commitments I have no time to mess with this car(needs nothing but adding on the police equipment)for at least 2 years and I'd rather see it in the hands of someone who would appreciate it as much as I do.

Car is basically a civilian Police Package car from the factory,having only A/C(blows cold but not ice cold-needs charging) Power Brakes and Power Steering, Factory am/fm and factory dog dish hubcaps. Remember this car has 28,979 original miles and runs like new. Before it was painted it had a very little surface rust on a few spots,mainly above the drivers rear wheel well(no rot,just surface rust) and a few road dings from rocks...those were done the right way then the car was painted professionally. Bodywork was done by the paintshop. This car has never been crashed. I have put less than 100 miles on this car since I owned it,only driving it to the paint shop and back(about 70 miles) and few dozen times around my block. I even had it trucked up to Illinois from Ohio.

DO NOT miss out on this Torino if you love the big body 4dr's of the 70's...you may never see one with this low of miles and body condition again. Transportation is the buyers responsibility but I will help in any way I can. I have used a company called Direct Express(google for phone number) on 7 occasions since 1999 shipping cars to me or from my address. Direct Express is very dependable,always at least half of the price of larger shippers and does door to door service.

I also have all of the antique Police Equipment should the buyer want want to convert it into an old Police Cruiser.  I have the old lightbar,backseat cage,NOS Spotlight,and antique radios.  Call me if interested in these to go with the car,or if new owner would just like the Spotlight to install on driver's door pillar to make it look like an old unmarked unit and drive like that I will gladly give it to you.

The 11 most expensive American cars ever

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

Here's a Pro Tip for all you would-be classic car investors out there: buy Ferraris. With the Pebble Beach festivities kicking off this week, including any number high end car auctions, we thought it would be entertaining to compile a list of some to the most expensive cars ever sold with the bang of a gavel. Trouble is, once you get past the splendor of everyone's favorite Italian sports car maker, that list is pretty boring.
Ferrari dominates the all-time auction sales list; seven of the top ten most expensive cars sold wear the Cavallino Rampante badge, as well as more than half of the top fifty. Sure, a nearly $30-million Mercedes-Benz W196 racecar might be the new top dog as of last year, but it's even possible that Ferrari could take that title back in Monterey this weekend. Long story short: we think a list of the most expensive American cars ever sold at auction is a lot more entertaining to read. Hell, our list has a friggin' Batmobile on it, how can it go wrong?
Follow on below for the top ten cars that are red, white, blue and a whole lot of green.

11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.

Ford Australia debuts Ranger-based Everest SUV concept

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Ford has been in hot water in Australia ever since it announced plans to end local production of the Falcon and Territory SUV. Besides canceling a model that is to Oz what the Mustang is to America, the end of production means more than a few folks will be out of work.
Keen to prove that it has a plan for the market, Ford has unveiled the Aussie-penned Everest Concept, a rough-and-tumble, seven-seat SUV. While not a direct replacement for the aging Territory (that role will eventually be filled by either the Edge or Flex, according to Car Advice) it's an indication from Ford's brass that the Blue Oval is still committed to Australia.
To prove that fact, Alan Mullaly, Mark Fields, Jim Farley and regional execs descended on Sydney for the debut of the new concept. Ford's Australian president and CEO, Bob Graziano, said of the Everest, "Our customers, our employees and Australia can be assured that we're connected to the nation and committed to our customers through terrific products with class-leading technologies."
