1971 Ford Torino on 2040-cars
Russell Springs, Kentucky, United States
|
Purchased this car from a local lady that had owned this car for many years. The drive train had been removed. The car was very solid with one very small hole in quarter panel and another in driver side floor pan which we replaced. Installed 351 2V Cleveland with automatic transmission from a 70 cougar. I had transmission professionally rebuilt last summer and installed all new... -timing chain -gears -alternator -fuel pump -plugs -wires -repainted 2 years ago -carpet -dash pad -tires on front -magnum 500 wheels -professionally reupholstered seats Car has been garage kept and driven less than 100 miles since restored. Has new headliner, still in box, needs installed. Car has absolutely no rust issues or bubbles in paint but does have some orange peel and does not shine as it should. Seems like it was not buffed and wet sanded as it should have.Don't bid expecting $30k car, but very straight and solid. Would be a great driver for summer, or sand and repaint for sharp ride. Car looks good from 20 feet but paint is not great. Shines better in photos than in person. I would suggest inspecting before sell ends. Car does need attention in the following: instrument bezel is foggy, needs radio, wiper and heater work, and has exhaust leak as you can hear in the video. The reserve is very fair on this car and I have described car honestly. I strongly suggest calling with any questions before bidding and please don't bid unless you are serious and have good feedback. Will soon be listing several more cars as I am downsizing my collection. Call (270) 866 0690 before 9:00 central time. Thank you and good luck.

Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]
Sun, 08 Dec 2013The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.
Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
Ford builds Lightweight Concept with Fusion shell [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014It's a fairly well known fact that removing weight from a car is essentially a panacea for many of the modern automobiles problems. Does it handle like crap? Remove weight. Underpowered? Don't add power; trim the fat. Need to improve fuel economy? It's diet time.
Actually executing a major weight reduction program, though, much like with human beings, is no easy task. Unlike you or I, where motivation is the issue, the prohibitive measure in trimming a car's waistline is money. Lightweight materials are expensive, with carbon fiber and carbon-fiber reinforced plastic still primarily in the domain of higher end vehicles. Even aluminum construction, pioneered on a mass-produced level by Audi and Jaguar, is only now starting to make its way into the mainstream, thanks to the upcoming Ford F-150.
With this concept, though, Ford is attempting to show that a mass-produced, lightweight vehicle isn't too far off. This is the Lightweight Concept, and while it may look like a Fusion, it weighs as much as a Fiesta. For reference, the lightest Fusion available to the public is the 3,323-pound, 2.5-liter model with a manual transmission. A manually equipped, 1.6-liter Fiesta, meanwhile, is just 2,537 pounds.
