Up for auction and your viewing pleasure today is Rare & Original 1971 Torino Cobra. This is good looking 'Survivor-Quality' car. The single repaint in the Light Pewter Metallic has a good look and a nice shine with all the 'Patina' you would expect of a 30+ year old repaint. If you want perfect paint, this is not it. If you want a Muscle Car with some survivor street cred, this is it. This is a very solid Cobra. The floors, frame rails, torque boxes, trunk drop offs, trunk floor, cowl, etc. all look great. The cowl is in excellent condition and does not leak. The trunk stays completely dry as well. Structurally this Cobra is one of the most solid examples available. There is some minor rust in the door corners and at the lower rear wheel wells. All very typical and they look to be confined to small areas. Please see the photos. Inside the interior presents well. The factory Medium Vermillion is a rare color that really works with the Light Pewter Metallic exterior. The highly desirable bucket seats are in good condition, still comfortable enough for a cruise or whatever. The carpet was replaced some time ago with a black custom kit. There is the normal wear like a crack in the dash and stitching separations in the headliner. The factory in-dash tachometer is a rare option that still works properly. I just had a new windshield installed. They are rather expensive compared to a Mustang, this one cost $600 to have replaced. The 351 Cleveland appears to be the original, however there are no VIN stampings I could find on the block in any of the normal areas. The engine runs excellent with nice, quiet valve train. A slight piston noise can sometimes when the engine is cold but it goes away when the engine begins to warm. All of the factory accessories like the shaker with hold down bracket, exhaust manifolds, heat shield, S-tube, dripper valve covers, 4V heads, cast iron intake are there. The only obvious non-factory component is the Edelbrock 4 Barrel carb. The car has excellent power and the engine has excellent manners on the road or in traffic. The C6 automatic has been rebuilt with a shift kit. The shifts are very crisp and it will bark the tires on the 1-2 shift and the 2-3 shift. The Magnum 500 wheels appear to be the originals. There is the typical pitting and scale, but they look good for 43 year old originals. Larger BF Goodrich Radial tires have been installed with 15" 235 60's in the front and 15" 255 60's in the rear. The larger tires really fill up the wheel wells and give this Muscle Car a more aggressive look. The factory power disc brakes and power steering work excellent making this a very easy car to drive for drivers of any level. Full Marti-Report Documentation is pictured and is included with the car. I am available for questions for 9am to 8pm PACIFIC TIME for questions or to discuss. This car is available locally so I reserve to end the auction at any time. Thanks, Mike. 425-308-0802 |

2014 Ford Mustang GT
Fri, 17 May 2013I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.

Major automakers urge Trump not to freeze fuel economy targets
Mon, May 7 2018WASHINGTON — Major automakers are telling the Trump administration they want to reach an agreement with California to avoid a legal battle over fuel efficiency standards, and they support continued increases in mileage standards through 2025. "We support standards that increase year over year that also are consistent with marketplace realities," Mitch Bainwol, chief executive of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a trade group representing major automakers, will tell a U.S. House of Representatives panel on Tuesday, according to written testimony released on Monday. The Trump administration is weighing how to revise fuel economy standards through at least the 2025 model year, and one option is to propose freezing the standards through 2026, effectively allowing automakers to delay investments in technology to cut greenhouse gas emissions from burning petroleum. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not formally submitted its joint proposal with the Environmental Protection Agency to the White House Office of Management and Budget for review. Even so, last week, California and 16 other states sued to challenge the Trump administration's decision to revise U.S. vehicle rules. Auto industry executives have held meetings with the Trump administration for months and have urged the administration to try to reach a deal with California even as they support slowing the pace of reduction in carbon dioxide emissions that the Obama administration rules outlined. One automaker official said part of the message to President Donald Trump at a meeting on Friday will be to consider California like a foreign trade deal that needs to be renegotiated. Automakers want to urge him to get automakers a "better deal" — as opposed to potentially years of litigation between major states and federal regulators. On Friday, Trump is set to meet with the chief executives of General Motors, Ford, Fiat Chrysler and the top U.S. executives of at least five other major automakers, including Toyota, Volkswagen AG and Daimler AG, to talk about revisions to the vehicle rules. Senior EPA and Transportation Department officials will also attend. Environmental groups are eager to keep the rules in place, saying they will save consumers billions in fuel costs. A coalition of groups plans to stage a protest outside Ford's headquarters in Michigan.
Ford looks to protect logo from Toronto mayor followers
Fri, 15 Nov 2013One is a member of the Detroit Three and the maker of the Mustang, Fusion, Explorer and F-150. The other is an admitted loudmouthed, drunk-driving, crack-smoking mayor in Canada. Unfortunately for one, it shares its name with the other. Yes, Ford Motor Company is going to great lengths to keep its iconic Blue Oval logo from being appropriated by supporters of besieged Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
At a United Way event earlier this week, some of Mayor Ford's fans showed up with shirts that featured the automaker's logo with the words "Ford Nation," on them. Naturally, Mayor Ford signed them. FoMoCo was quick to issue an unhappy statement:
"Ford did not grant permission for use of its logo. We view it as an unauthorized use of our trademark and have asked it to be stopped," spokesperson Jay Cooney said. There was also a statement from Ford of Canada's Twitter account after a user alerted the company:
