For sale today is a desirable 1970 Torino 429 Cobra. Car is a beautiful example of Ford muscle. Lots of history to these Torino's as they are getting scarce.

IMPROVED in many ways by installing a complete rebuilt genuine 429 Cobrajet engine along with her 4 speed factory 10 spline, 31 spline toploader close ratio, heavy duty output, all taken from a shaker J code 429 cobrajet Torino that was used for racing. Engine is the Cobrajet D0ve-A model with DOOE-R CJ heads. CJ manifold. Cobrajet Radiator. Cobrajet fan. The carburetor is the original Quadrajet 4 barrel. Cobrajet exhaust manifolds....nice.

ITS ALL THERE

The car itself came to us stripped and the owner pretty much completed all the body work. For the most part there is no more body work needed anywhere on this car, just some cosmetic touches. Floors were redone, as well as body panels. Frame rails are all good. Original CALYPSO CORAL paint with one repaint. Has all glass and windows. Original interior with console. Has a Hurst shifter hooked up. Has its shaker top and scoop. Had to pry the Original 429 Quadrajet carburetor off the CJ intake when we got the engine...nice VERY ORIGINAL. Even has some original Torino 1970? FIRESTONE whitewall tires and painted rims which we kept on for authenticity. Needless to say tires will need replacing. Car also comes with rare under dash Frigette air conditioning unit.

As you can see we stripped the engine to clean it up and rebuild. We verified all the parts to make sure it is all Cobrajet, down to the pistons. Please see video for verification.

Vehicle has a Hurst shifter to go with the 4 speed toploader transmission. Transmission spins freely.

The car is very desirable and is an easy car to take to the next level. Since it does need some finishing touches but everything is there to take to the next level we are offering this at NO RESERVE so the HIGH BIDDER will win. . We wanted to give the winning bidder some flexibility on the final price so NO RESERVE... HIGH BID gets it.

We do have the 429 CJ emblems and stickers we will place on the car before it gets to the next owner. Original exhaust will be in place. This is a louver car. We dont have the louvers but the brackets holes are still intact. We may have a contact for a pair of louvers I can put you in touch with. It will come with all window trim & extra Torino pieces.

These Torino's are collectors items. Here is your chance to get one for a NO RESERVE price. We do have it offered for sale a couple other places so we reserve the right to end the auction at any time. We would entertain worthy offers to end the auction early.

Feel free to call with any questions. 38six-843-333four. We can help with loading and shipping anywhere in the United States or overseas for the lowest price possible. We have contacts at Central Dispatch where you will pay NO DISPATCHER FEE, only drivers actual cost. Don't hesitate to ask for more pictures. We will be posting a few more later in the auction as we get them.

Ford Police Interceptors dominate Michigan State Police testing

Tue, Nov 1 2016

Once again, Ford Motor Company builds the fastest police vehicles. The Blue Oval touted the news in an official release following Michigan State Police and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department testing. Ford did very well. Except for one acceleration metric – zero to 10 miles per hour Â– the Blue Oval's Taurus and Explorer-based cop cars were the quickest, with particular praise coming for the EcoBoost-powered models, which bested Chevrolet and Dodge's V8-powered variants. Dearborn's products also posted the fastest average times around MSP's vehicle dynamics course. But it wasn't all positive for Ford. The only four-cylinder in the contest, the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost Ford SSP Sedan, had both the lowest top speed, 120 mph, and the slowest acceleration figures. It was also the slowest in track testing. Ford's products also failed to match the braking and top speeds of its rivals from Detroit and Auburn Hills Â– the rear-drive Charger Pursuit posted the best braking stats of the entire test, while the V8-powered Chevrolet Caprice hit the highest top speed, at 155 mph. Ford did score a top speed award, among SUVs, but at 132 mph, the naturally aspirated Police Interceptor Utility had to share its award with the equally fast, rear-drive Chevrolet Tahoe. The LA County Sheriff's timing isn't publicly available, but according to Ford, the EcoBoost-powered police cars put on a similarly impressive show for cops on the West Coast. We've assembled a spreadsheet on Google Docs that offers an easy to browse comparison of the different stats assembled by the Michigan State Police, and divided the vehicles between standard V6-powered sedans, high-performance sedans (EcoBoost and V8 models), and SUVs. You can check it out here. Related Video:

Watch live as Mark Fields is officially named Ford's next CEO

Thu, 01 May 2014

We've heard rumblings of a changing of the guard at Ford, and this live stream from The Blue Oval itself is set to confirm the rumors: Alan Mulally will be succeeded by the automaker's current Chief Operating Officer, Mark Fields.
Mulally, who is 68 years old, has served at the head of Ford for eight years, and his official retirement date will be July 1st, 2014. Fields, who is 53 this year, has been with Ford for 25 years and has been groomed to take the helm from Mulally for the last several of those years.
There's an official press release that you can read, but if you're more of a visual person, you're welcome to watch the live video feed of the announcement down below.

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Ford 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.
