1969 Torino GT. Let me start by saying that this car has a Talladega front end on it BUT IT IS NOT A TALLADEGA. It is a GT. I bought this car as a roller a few years back. I had it soda blasted down to bare Metal, all rust (there was not much) was repaired correctly and had it painted Presidential Blue. The frame and underside was already done by the previous owner. I had a 351W - 4V (300HP) engine/heads professionally rebuilt and stuck a new Holley Carb on it. I put in a brand new clutch and matched it up with the correct 1969 wide ratio 4 speed top-loader trans. I put a new Hurst shifter on it too. The car already had a 9" Detroit Locker rear end with Ford racing disk brake conversion, this car has disc brakes all the way around. I put new air shocks and also new front shocks. It appeared that all of the front end was new from previous owner so I left it as is. It has power steering and power Brakes. (No Air Conditioning). This car runs very well down the road and has plenty of power too. The interior is mostly brand new, new headliner, fairlane door panels (Used on the Talladega model), carpet, etc. I bought a fairlane back seat and had the bucket seats re-done with fairlane material to match. Although Talladega model did not offer buckets, I thought I would at least match the materials used. Everything works, lights, heater, AM radio, Etc. I also installed a new gas tank, new brake lines, had the front and rear bumper re-chromed, had the sail Panel emblems and rear window trim re-chromed also. I bought the correct wheels and had them blasted down and painted and bought new trim rings and new Bf Goodrich Radial T/A tires. Most Everything on this car is new. I have put about 100 miles on it since completing. $1,000.00 down payment required within 48 Hours of end of auction. Balance Due within 10 days of end of auction. The car will not be released until funds have cleared the bank. Questions call Tom 608-212-9011 ( I reserve the right to end the auction early if sold locally)

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company
Thu, 03 Oct 2013
That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.
