Motor Trend Car of the Year
1970 Torino GT Convertible – Shaker Hood
VIN # OH37M107868
This car will be available for viewing
in person at the Goodguys 9th
Nashville Nationals May 16, 17, & 18 at LP Field, Tennessee Titan Stadium, 1
Titans Way, Nashville, TN 37213. It will
be in the Swap Meet area. All offers
will be considered, and I reserve the right to sell this car outside of this
e-bay auction.
Up
for auction is my 70 Torino GT Convertible.
Runs and Drives fine. I drive it
on the weekends and even take it to work if the weather is good and no chance
of rain. My dogs love going for rides in
the Torino especially if the trip involves going to an establishment with a
drive through window. This is far from being
a trailer queen show car, but it always gets lots of attention and compliments
everywhere we go. I have put “tons of
Money and tons of work” into it over the years I have owned it.
This is a rare car, only 3900
Convertible GTs built. You almost never
see a Shaker Hood 70 Torino GT Convertible on E-Bay. I also have never run across one at any car
show. For someone who wants an
unmolested original car there are several changes that have been made. When I
bought the car it had been repainted a BRIGHT Lime green. The original color (listed in the Marti
Report) was “Medium Ivy Green Metallic. I think it looks better in red. If you buy the car and want to return it as
close to original as possible you will also have to remove the A/C system that
I took from another 70 Torino as well as the hide-away headlights that were not
original to this car. The motor is also not
the original 351C with 4V heads, but a more common 2V motor that was replaced
somewhere along the way before I took ownership.
This car is pretty rare and deserves
more attention/restoration than I can afford to give it. I have certainly improved this car since I
have owned it. It can now be driven and
enjoyed. There is still a lot that needs
to be done. Rust in the trunk area is pretty bad. The front suspension has an annoying squeak.
I’m not sure what it the source is. I
have not highly pursued it because my original intent was to completely redo
and modernize the suspension.

Ford Mustang pinball machine has supple wrist, plays by sense of smell [w/video]
Fri, 07 Feb 2014Ford didn't have anything major to show off at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, so it seems it instead opted to have some fun - it brought a row of pinball machines to the show. Yes, pinball machines.
We originally told you about the Stern Pinball Ford Mustang machine a few days ago, and as day two of the Chicago show is a bit of a slow one, we opted to head to the show floor and get some snaps of the bank of new machines. Not surprisingly, there's plenty for the Mustang fan in each of these machines, ranging frond different models, to logos to a full model.
Take a look below for our full gallery of live shots, available up top. Then head below for our original gallery of stock images, along with a video and press release on the new machines.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?
Tue, 26 Aug 2014
Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
