 1971 Torino Cobra in the rare Silver(Light Pewter) with Vermillion(Red) interior. There were only 21 Cobras made with this color combo and it is stunning! This car is very well optioned with a 351C 4V engine, C6 automatic transmission, Shaker ram air, p/s, pdb, bucket seats, console, factory tachometer(works great) and 15" magnum wheels, all original! This car is very close to being absolutely stock, the only thing I know that is incorrect is the carburetor and distributor. The car still has the original Shaker hold down bracket, the original heat shield is still on the exhaust manifold. The car has had one repaint and the color is slightly off from the door jamb, the jamb is still has the original paint, the door sticker still looks new also. The body has only very minor rust, the floors look very solid as does the trunk. The lower qtr panels have some very minor pinholes showing and some of the door corners(see pics), all very minor. I have been driving this car daily and I love it, this car has not been screwed with and drives very tight and quiet. The engine and trans are very clean and look to have been worked on not many miles ago. The engine does have some typical Cleveland valve train noise but it is not really loud and hard to notice when driving the car. I have put several hundred miles on the car and it has not used any oil. The transmission has obviously received some work as it shifts nice and firm, anything over about 1/2 throttle and you are going to chirp the tire into second! The doors on this car open and shut very well, also there is no cracking around the door latches like you typically see on the these cars. The interior is quite presentable for an original but does have a crack in the dash pad like normal, the headliner will need to be replaced also. The front seats will need a few panels repaired but since the original comfort weave material is nice that is all I would do. The seams came apart on three of the lowers and there is a tear next to your left lower back. The rear seat is quite nice. The paint, while presentable for a driver is not perfect, it is a 10 footer with some bumps and scratches from normal use. I like it like this as it is a guilt free driver. If you have any questions and are a serious buyer give me a call at 425-308-0802 and we can discuss the car in detail.

eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history

Sat, 03 May 2014

You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.

Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...

Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines

Sat, 23 Feb 2013


It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.
