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.

Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.

VW walks away from Aurora after self-driving startup partners with FCA

Wed, Jun 12 2019

BERLIN — Volkswagen has ended its partnership with self-driving car software firm Aurora, two days after the Silicon Valley start-up said it would build autonomous platforms for commercial vehicles with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. "The activities under our partnership have been concluded," a VW spokesman said in a statement on Tuesday following an earlier Financial Times report on the move which said VW now wanted to work with Ford Motor Co on autonomous driving. Ford's majority-owned subsidiary Argo AI is building an automated "driver" that could compete with Aurora's technology. Aurora said Tuesday "Volkswagen Group has been a wonderful partner to Aurora since the early days of development of the Aurora Driver." The company's statement added that it continues to work "with a growing array of partners." The autonomous vehicle industry is still in its infancy, and alliances and strategies are fluid. Aurora has sought to remain independent and serve a number of would-be autonomous vehicle makers rather than be acquired. Aurora, which said in February it had raised $530 million in new funding, also has partnerships with Hyundai Motor Co and China's Byton to develop and test self-driving systems for automakers, fleet owners and others. After announcing its partnership with Aurora in early 2018, VW last June began discussions with Ford to develop a range of commercial vehicles, later extending the discussions to include electric vehicles and Argo's autonomous driving technology as part of an alliance designed to save billions in costs. VW and Ford have not announced partnerships involving electric or autonomous vehicle technology. Green Chrysler Fiat Ford Volkswagen Technology Emerging Technologies Autonomous Vehicles
