1971 Ford Torino 500, blue, 302, automatic, A/C, Rod and Custom front disk brake conversion, new suspension front and rear, new interior, new exhaust, new gas tank and sending unit, aluminum intake and 4bbl carb. Just home from the best paint shop in Arkansas!!

I bought the car in 2010 from the original owner. He parked the car in 1995. Field mice made a home in this car for a long time, so I gutted the interior, put in new floor pans, new carpet, new front seat bottom upholstery, and replaced any damaged wiring. The cowl must have been home base, because the pee ate it up after the drains got clogged with leaves and dirt. I fiberglassed it and then sealed the cowl. The fuse block has some corrosion, but all works fine.

Car was not rusty on the exterior, as It's been an Arkansas car since '71, but the field mice were unkind to the interior. All that has been fixed.

Everything works as it should except the speedometer doesn't read. The dash lights go in and out, so I suspect the fuse holding prongs need attention. The Summit all in one gauge has everything you need anyway, including temp, oil pressure, volts and RPM's. I just had the air conditioning system COMPLETELY replaced with all new components - $1500 and a one year warranty! I went through the car front to back and top to bottom replacing everything to make it a safe, reliable car. I replaced plug wires, rotor, alternator, belts, transmission fluid, brake lines, master cylinder, etc.

I would drive this car anywhere. it's that nice and that reliable!

Car was repainted in May 2013 and is arrow straight, with just a few imperfections. Runs perfect. The original, vin matching 302 has chrome valve covers now and a chrome air cleaner lid. The scoop is an original 1969 Mustang Mach 1 scoop, with turn signals. Wheels are original Magnum 500's, restored.

If I was going to continue to fix the small stuff, here's the list:

Has a cracked windshield and the trim needs tlc. The tires are decent. Engine runs good, but has never been overhauled. Some oil gets past the rings and there's a little smoke on initial start up, but that's the only time. Bumpers are decent. The original radio comes with the car - it's taken out. I pre-wired the car for rear speakers. Driver seat back has a small tear along a seam. I glued it, but would get it fixed for the long term.

The last few pictures are the car at Tulsa, Oklahoma for the 2011 Mid-America Ford and Shelby meet. You can see the original paint. The car ran perfect all weekend - on the road track at Hallett and doing consistent 17.10 at the Tulsa drag strip! I did not have to open the hood one time all weekend! And it was June, so like 99 degrees outside!!

The last picture is the car on the day I bought it from the original owner! A grocery-getter turned into a cool head turner!

2015 Ford Mustang [w/videos]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

It'd be unwise to bet against the sixth generation of this legendary nameplate.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is assuredly the most anticipated new vehicle of the year. The redesigned Pony Car has been the subject of frantic gossiping and covert spy photos covering everything from the way it looks to the tech it will include, its performance, mechanicals and a bevy of other aspects of Ford's performance icon.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST

Concentrated ST Formula Proves Just As Potent
I'm not the jealous type... usually. But I will fully admit to being somewhat of a Pouty Polly when I read executive editor Chris Paukert's report after driving the then-new 2013 Ford Focus ST through the impossibly pretty southern French Alps region last June. I feel like a broken record saying this yet again, but hot hatchbacks hold a special place in my heart. And while I'm always giddy to drive any sort of small, turbocharged three- or five-door at home in Detroit, my jealousy was indeed piqued after hearing Paukert tell about the challenging yet breathtaking roads he encountered while driving the flamin' yellow Focus. You know, the sort of roads that, from above, look like carelessly drizzled lines of icing on the frosted Alpen caps.
Several months later, I found myself piloting a Focus ST just west of metro Detroit, pitting it head-to-head against one of Autoblog's perennial favorite cars, the Volkswagen GTI. It was fantastic - enough so that I fully stand behind my statement that in terms of balls-out performance, the Focus ST cannot be beat as far as today's front-wheel-drive hatches are concerned.

Mustang Cobra Jet prototype garners $200k for charity at Barrett-Jackson

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

A few weeks ago we brought you news of a one-off Mustang Cobra Jet that Ford was donating to charity. The car was set to be auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Now that auction has taken place, bringing in an impressive $200,000 for MS research.
That's a lot of zeros for a Mustang, much less one you can't even drive on the street. But the unique pony car, bearing serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1, packs a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, competition gearbox, wheelie bar, roll cage... all you could want, in short, in a turn-key drag racer. And all that for a good cause.
