1971 Ford Torino GT for sale. This car is equipped with 351 Cleveland, TCI C4 transmission, and the original 9 inch rear with 2.75 gears. The Cleveland is a 2V, but now it has a weiand 4V intake and a 750 CFM AFB Carter competition carb. The engine also has Duraspark ignition with a Mallory profire coil. The exhaust exits threw full length headers into 2 1/2" exhaust, with Flowmaster mufflers. The engine has a larger cam, with a healthy idle, and much more power than it came with from the factory. Should be somewhere in the low 400's. With a steeper set of gears, this car would really fly, but right now, it's not so bad on fuel. The transmission is a C4 built by TCI. It also has a Streetfighter 3000 RPM stall converter.

The car has front disc brakes with slotted rotors, power steering with a brand new Borgeson steering box and a brand new Saginaw power steering pump, brand new front shocks and springs, and new Roller spring perches. The car drives more like a modern car with the new steering box and roller spring perches. The 9" rear has factory drum brakes and Lakewood traction bars. There is a driveshaft loop installed under the car too.

The body of the car is very nice. The rear quarter panels were changed at some point, and the car was painted at the same time. It has the factory style laser stripes, which are reflective like the originals, installed on the car. The wheels are American Racing and the tires are Firestone Firehawks. Both front and rear bumpers were replaced with re-chromed ones that look really good. The front grill is in very good shape and even the chrome on top of the doors is nice for it's age.

The interior is black with the original headliner and rear seat. The front seats and console appear to be from a 72-73 Torino. A full set of gauges are installed in the dash, and there is a tach on the steering column, right behind the Grant steering wheel.

Things that need attention. There is a slight leak at the transmission pan, so it looks like it could use a new gasket. The radio doesn't work, but you would probably want to change it, unless you have a great collection of cassettes! Small rust hole in the rear valance panel. The floor pans have a couple rust holes and so does the battery tray area, (as a lot of these cars do). The car does come with new sheet metal for this area. Floor pan sections are available on Ebay and in many catalogs too. Torque boxes are fine. The wiper motor is new, but not working, so could be an issue with a fuse? Maybe the same fuse for the radio?

This isn't my car. I'm selling it for a friend. If you have any questions, please feel free to send them along. If you want PICTURES of any other area of the car, let me know, and try to include your email address, so I can send them to you. The car comes with a NY state transferable registration and a Bill of Sale.

Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected

Thu, 29 May 2014

Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."

5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals

Sun, Mar 3 2024

EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment.Â But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.
