1971 Ford Torino 500
Rare Halo Roof car (Spring Promo model)

I am the second owner
56,000 numbers matching miles
Very unmolested car

I bought this car in the fall of 2008 with the intention of having a classic that would make a suitable daily driver and would have no problem keeping up with traffic, running cool and being dead reliable and getting respectable fuel mileage. This car was the result, and served me well for almost 30,000 miles of daily use in the spring through fall for almost five years.

This particular car spent most of it's life in a garage and was one driven for short trips and in 42 years has never seen a snowflake. It is remarkably solid for a car that was notorious for rust! The torque boxes, floors, wheel houses and cowl area look perfect, and untouched. I went over the car before it was driven daily and replaced all the typical (and still original) wear items. Such upgrades:

aluminum radiator
thermostat and aluminum housing with sender
all coolant hoses replaced
- coolant flushed
- new water pump
power steering flushed
trans fluid and filter and B&M shift kit upgrade
both v-belts replaced
oil pressure sender
fuel pump
temp sender
reman carburetor
valve cover gaskets
HEI distributor upgrade
KYB shocks front and rear
PST front end kit (all ball joints, tie rods, control arms new)
spring perches
all poly-graphite bushings in suspension instead of original rubber
large Addaco front and rear sway bars
1970 Mach I Mustang disc brake kit (was originally manual drum brakes)
rotors, pads, bearings, races, seals
calipers
brake hoses
washer pump
master cylinder and booster upgrade using all OEM parts
power steering pump
all headlamp bulbs
headliner
door seals
trunk seal
quarter window seals
air cleaner
Motorsport wire set
Optima battery and cables
exhaust manifold gaskets
complete factory style exhaust w/Dynomax turbo mufflers
complete repaint January 2012 base coat/clear coat
vinyl top deleted
all chrome and bright work polished and reinstalled
all lenses and trim polished or painted and reinstalled
TST wax coated underside to repel moisture
American Racing 17x9.5 and 17x8 Magnum 500 wheels and Nitto high performance tires (less than 1000 miles on them)
Summit Racing gauge kit
wired for hidden radio

headlamps wired on relays for all four to illuminate

The car was in very good shape so the work done was mainly preventative to preserve the car. I did upgrade worn items with the best stuff I could find, such as the poly suspension, sway bars, exhaust, etc. The original paint was very thin and I was beginning to see some surface rust to the car was repainted the original colors. I disliked the vinyl top and instead I painted the roof a satin metallic green. I did my best to prevent doing irreversible modifications in case someone would want the car to be completely stock someday. Due to the suspension and rolling stock upgrades this car handles and stops like nobody's business. I would not be embarrassed to take it to a track.

How good does it run and drive? Well, I have driven it to Detroit, Philidelphia, and it has been driven in the city of Pittsburgh regularly and it has never skipped a beat. This would make a great Hot Rod Power Tour Car as it has real street manners, looks great and gets 18-21 MPG. The 302 engine runs STRONG and is essentially stock. It does not use any fluids, make any unusual noises and I has lots of life left. I had planned for a stroker motor but the car always runs perfectly, so why mess with what works so well. I can compare it to my other car that has a supposedly rebuilt and modified 351W, and this car runs a lot better.

I am ready to undertake a bigger project car that I have wanted since childhood so I must sacrifice one to a new owner.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions. Sorry, I have no interest in trades and no financing, you pay in cash or certified check that has to clear. If you have an eBay feedback of zero or less, you MUST contact me before bidding. This is a no reserve auction. This car is for sale locally, I have the right as the seller to end this auction at any time. I have sold nearly a dozen antique cars on eBay and am familiar with selling overseas/long distance buyers and will cooperate to make it as smooth as possible for you.

Ford Fiesta ST GRC Racecar is hungry for podiums in 2013

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

As we reported earlier, the Chicago showing of this plucky Ford Fiesta ST GRC racer points to bigger and brighter days for Global RallyCross. For the upcoming season, you can expect to see Ken Block and Tanner Foust both driving the Ford racecar, and if last season's results are any indication, you can anticipate quite a few podium appearances, as well.
The Fiesta seen here was built by the Swedes at OlsbergsMSE, and will be driven in anger by Foust in 2013. Modifications are, as you'd expect, extensive, and include an engine, exhaust and braking upgrades, a racing style short-throw shifter and a limited-slip differential. As you can see, the car has been fully stripped out and caged for maximum speed and safety, too.
Refresh your memories with the details of the car, in the press releases below. And if you head out to the Chicago Auto Show this year, don't forget to drop by the Ford stand to have a look.

2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?

Ford unveils Mustang 50th anniversary logo, plans merchandise

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

The Ford Mustang turns 50 years old this year, and this is the logo that will announce the milestone occasion on a special line of merchandise. The graphic is the result of an internal design competition, and Ford will give 50 different companies the license to use it on traditional logo merchandise like shirts and watches, along with some untraditional items like pinball machines.
Ford is going to begin the celebrations at this week's New York Auto Show and continue them throughout the year, but April 17 is the official birthday of the the pony car that just won't quit. You can expect to start seeing anniversary merchandise in the next couple of weeks.
