1970 Ford Torino No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Lake Oswego, Oregon, United States
|
1970 Ford Torino, It has a 302 with 4 barrel Edelbrock intake and 4 barrel Edelbrock carb, runs great and fires up every time, rebuild C4 transmission with 500 miles on it (according to previous owner), trans is great shifts and has kick down hooked up. Engine actually pushes the car pretty, Just flushed the fuel system and put fresh gas in tank, fixed the fuel gauge so that works, has a Brand new battery. Car has power steering, power brakes with disks up front, heater works, doors are solid, rear quarter panels are solid, has some rust here and there, floor board on drivers side needs some attention (previous owner did bad repair job on small area). Runs and drives, though I would not recommend it until the brakes are gone through as they are VERY weak so it will need to be trailered. Needs to have some electrical work to get headlights and windshield wipers working. It is a project, but with new carpet, headliner and a coat of paint it would be pretty cool. Very original car with the factory trim, wheels, and hasn't been tampered with very much. Tires are almost full tread although they appear to be pretty old. Would be a great start for a restoration. Included a lot of pictures to show condition, no idea on how many of miles are on the car. If you have any questions shoot me a message. Have added some pictures of the trunk, floor board, and rear wheel wheels from request. There is some body filler on the right starting to flake off, and probably rusted out floorboard under the patch in the picture, I haven't pulled it up and looked at it. Definitely a project, but one that you could drive and work on as soon as the brakes are fixed. Body seem to be pretty solid with the exception of a few rusted spots. Seems to also have a slow drain on the battery. $250 Payment within 48 hours, Rest in cash in person when you pick it up. You come pick it up, or I can deliver within 250 miles of Portland for $2 a mile. If this doesn't work, send me a message and we can figure out other payment options.

Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.
Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.
Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
