You're bidding on a 1970 Ford Torino GT 2-door hardtop fastback. It is an authentic GT, but has had some changes: The car originally came with a 351 c.i. 4-bbl., but years ago was switched to a 429 4-bbl. HiPo engine. The car also came with a 4-speed, but was changed by the first owner to an automatic drive so his wife could drive it, therefore the steering column has been changed and a plate now covers the 4-speed shifter tunnel.

The car also came originally yellow with black stripes, but was later changed to Grabber Orange with black stripes. The paint is several years old, but still in good shape for an everyday driver, but will need repaint if you're going to restore her. The car has 2 minor rust spots on the body as can be seen in the pictures.

It has Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes and Factory A/C (not presently working). The glass is good, as are the floor pans and trunk pan. Someone began to strip and restore this car years ago, but undoubtly gave up on it. It would make a great car to restore back. The seats and all the trim are included. The engine runs good and the tranny shifts good, as well. However, the gas tank needs to be put back on (the tank is off now, but comes with the car). The seats are currently not in the car, but come with the car. They are in good shape with excellent cores.

The bumpers are in good shape. The grille is complete, but the center needs to be put back on.This car has been in storage for a while. It will need to be gone through and is a great muscle car for a restoration! You WILL need to tow this car. The buyer is responsible for all towing/delivery methods and expenses.

For any questions about other details and to arrange to see it, please call the owner, Jimmy Hammond at 256-762-6711 from 10 a.m.- 10 p.m. CST.

NOTICE: This car is in Alabama, which is a NON-TITLE state for pre-1975 model cars, so a notarized Bill of Sale will be given. This is a state document that should be honored by all other states. However, please check with your state to make sure there will be no problems before bidding on it! Once the car is yours- it's YOURS! This car is being sold AS IS with no warranties!

NOTICE: This car is for sale ONLY to citizens in the lower 48 continental US. Any other bids will be voided. This is also for persons with better than 5 positive Feedback rating. Anything lower than that rating, and your bid will be voided! Too many problems in the past has made this happen.

Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects

Thu, 16 May 2013

Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online

Wed, Jun 25 2014

Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.

Reflecting on the Ford GT on its 10-year anniversary

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

Ten years ago, during the bright-eyed enthusiasm of the early 2000s and before the collective automotive industry did its best Titanic impression, we had the Ford GT. An everyman's supercar like there'd never been (remember, this was before 638-horsepower Corvettes were a thing), the GT arrived with a supercharged, 5.4-liter V8 that produced 550 horsepower and graced this retro-styled rocket with an easy, sub-four-second sprint to 60 miles per hour.
Equal to the GT's performance were its looks. Inspired by the GT40 racers that dominated Le Mans and bested Ferrari in the 1960s, the sleek, low, almost-reptilian look of the GT was the absolute pinnacle of the retro styling that so defined the early 2000s.
Crank and Piston put together a video celebrating the ten-year-old GT, arguing that Ford is a bit too busy with the next-gen Mustang, which turns 50 next week, to do it themselves. In the short clip, there is gratuitous engine noise and supercharger whine, not to mention scenes of the white-on-red GT prowling the deserts and streets of Dubai. It's a bit short, but very nicely shot. Scroll down, have a look and be sure to turn up those speakers before getting started.
