1974 Gran Torino, I would call this a suvivor car. I bought this car from a young man in Southern California, he bought it from an old lady. I was going to build the car as a Starsky and Hutch car. The ONLY reason I am selling this car is that I found my old high school car. I can not keep two, just one, so the Gran Torino goes. This car has solid floor boards and trunk. It was a cloth top originally. The top and all window channels are solid with no rust. The front and rear glass was removed to replace the headliner correctly. The mileage shows 83104 and I believe it to be correct but no way to prove it. The 351c runs smooth with no issues. The power steering and brakes work great. All gauges and windshield wiper work great. The car appears to have been painted once since new, the door jams, hood and trunk lid (underside) have never been repainted but have overspray from former paint job. The Dash cracks have been repaired (driver quality) the front pass fender has a dent (see pic). The driver and pass door has a small rust area on the inner lower corner door area (VERY repairable). The Trunk floor is very solid and has a small area that has been previously repaired by fiberglass cloth near one of the drain holes on the trunk floor. The quarters are solid with no issues. It appears to have stayed in the southern California area all its life. I have tried to describe this car the bes I can. This is a solid old car and sold as is. This car is being sold with no reserve. Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements. Payment arrangements within 48 hours end of auction.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype sells for $7M
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Seven-figure Ferraris are not horribly rare. Heck, an eight-figure Ferrari isn't a rare occurrence. Between modern masterpieces like the Enzo and more classic offerings, cracking the million-dollar mark isn't a particularly tall order for the cars from Maranello. For a Ford, though, it's a big deal.
Now, this is not just some rare Mustang. This is a GT40, the car that Henry Ford II commissioned to whip Enzo Ferrari around a track in France. As far as the Le Mans-winning racers go, they don't get much rarer than this one. Sold at the Mecum Auctions in Houston, this is one of the prototypes, meaning it's one of the very first GT40s ever built. That makes its $7 million winning a bid, a record for on-air coverage of the auction, a pretty darn impressive figure.
You can watch the auction below, but first, take a look back at our original story on this rare Blue Oval.
Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany
Sat, 29 Jun 2013Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.
