1971 Ford Torino Gt "m" Code 351 W/c6 Auto on 2040-cars

I love the car but just don't have the time anymore to devote to it.  Car needs to go to a new home where she will be driven and enjoyed.

1971 Ford Torino GT "M" Code 351C 4Vw/C6 Automatic

This is an original Virginia car.  I purchased the car from Carlisle at Ford Nationals two years ago off of a guy that had just bought it himself.  He purchased the car from a woman here in Virginia that inherited the car from her mother.  Her mother was the original owner of the car and it was originally purchased in Virginia.  

Original GT "M" code 351C 4v car still has the original motor and original C6 trans. 

The paint job on the car was a respray done by the original owner about 8 years ago.  It was a budget respray and is showing typical signs of wear.  If you look closely you can see some alligatoring of the paint on one of the fenders.  It is a good 10 footer driver quality paint job.  All of the chrome has typical pitting and scratches as to be expected and would need to be rechromed to be perfect.  The front right corner of the bumper sits higher than the left, the bumper is not damaged so I believe this is and adjustment issue with the bumper brackets.

Since I've had the car I have done the following:

I changed the interior from the original Ivy Green to black.  
Got rid of the original bench seat and installed Procar Elite Lumbar bucket seats and recovered the back seat.  
The originial dash pad was cracked so I installed a black cover-lay over it.  
Installed new ACC cut pile carpet with Mass Back.  
Custom center console with iPod dock (for iPod Classic) with two Autometer gauges (the gauges have not been hooked up yet).  
I swapped out the old radio and installed a new Retrosound radio.
I pulled the motor and trans, cleaned and resprayed the engine bay and cleaned up the motor.  
Installed a new Edelbrock Performer intake.
Holley Street Avenger 670cfm carb.  
New MSD Ready-to-Run distributor.
New MSD wires.
New MSD Coil.  
Aluminum valve covers and air cleaner.
Chrome oil pan.
Chrome water pump.
Chrome alternator.
New fuel pump.  
Five spoke Ridler 695 wheels (18x8 front and 20x8.5 rear).   
New Waldron's 2.5" exhaust system.
New Pypes Performance mufflers.
New power steering control valve.
New power steering pump and hoses.
New power steering ram arm.  
New inner and outer tie rods, strut rod bushings and idler arm bushings.  

The car originally had manual front drum brakes.  I upgraded the brakes to stock style front power disc with '70 Torino spindles.   
New refurbished brake booster.
New master cylinder.
New hard and soft brake lines for the font, and refurbished proportioning valve.  

The dome light is out of a 2001 Ford Explorer (This is a simple mod that is a nice restomod touch and provides significantly more light than the stock light)
The steering wheel is an original Ford GT wheel out of a '78 Mustang (these wheels were in Ford cars and trucks from the late 70's through early 80's)
I cut 1/2 coil off of each front coil spring to lower the front end slightly.  

New chrome trans pan.
New rear trans seal.
New front and rear u-joints..

I recently installed a new ignition switch and headlight switch, and now it needs a new key lock cylinder ($29 part through Dearborn Classics).  The car starts and runs fine, you just have to be sure to turn the key backward slightly after it starts to disengage the starter motor.

There are some minor dings on certain areas of the car but nothing major, just cosmetic.  I've done my best to identify those in the pictures.
