1973 Gran Torino, Low Miles, Great Condition, All Orginal on 2040-cars
Goodland, Indiana, United States
|
I bought this car as factory original with all numbers matching and all parts included. I have done a number of upgrades to increase its driveability but nothing that can't be reversed to bring the car back to its factory ORIGINAL state. I have everything including the correct wheels and caps that came with the vehicle. It is currently my daily driver so that should speak for the reliability of the vehicle.
This is the list of upgrades I have done to the car: excluding gaskets, etc. : New brake lines and restored brakes American Racing Outlaw II wheels w/ tires Fuel tank cleaned and sealed Addco 7/8" rear anti-sway bar Radiator All hoses and Belts Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold Holley 650 Carb Edelbrock Elite series valve covers and air cleaner Alternator Oil pump Starter Power Steering pump Heater core Headlights Pertronix Electronic Ignition (replacing the old points) I have not done anything to the interior because it is in near perfect condition. despite the slight weathering of the exterior the interior has remained in almost show room quality. Everything currently works on the car except the air conditioning. Simply because the car sat for a long time before I bought it and the compressor locked up and I have not felt the need to fix it as I enjoy the windows down. There are many many things I am sure I am missing about this car so please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have at my personal number by text or phone.

Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?
Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
