Up for auction is a 1971 Ford Torino 500 model, uniquely equipped.  Its powered by an M code 351 4 barrel Cleveland engine backed by its original C6 transmission.  The 9" rear end houses its original 3.00 geared traction lock differential.  The engine runs strong and the trans shifts like it should.  It has a nice cam in it but could use a stall converter. REAL NICE full length dual exhaust with Flowmaster 44's.  Looking at the Marti report, it shows the car was not dealer ordered for stock but specifically with these options by a customer.  Along with the drivetrain, it was equipped with power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, tinted glass, visibility group (under hood, trunk, glove box and map lamps), sport mirrors, styled steel wheels and the in dash tachometer.  The interior is on good shape but could use a dash pad or a dash cap.  door panels, upholstery, headliner all in nice shape.  This is a very solid car as it spent most of its life North Carolina.  All lamps work, turn signals, brakelights, headlights, horn, wipers, windshield washer, heater fan, dash lights, tachometer, door locks, parking brake. Brake pads are at about 50% and rotors are in good shape.  Car starts right and and runs/drives/stops good.  No smoke, knocks or ticks. The car is not a rust bucket, it has nice floors, doors, cowl and trunk.  The front shock towers have NOT been torched for greasing the upper control arms.


New window crank knobs and door lock knobs, dome lamp lens, Duralast Gold battery, reproduction battery cables, battery hold down and bolts, remanufactured correct carburetor, wiper refills in original frames, pre-bent fuel line from fuel pump to carburetor, Monroe front shocks, Cooper Cobra tires.  New intake manifold gaskets.  I do have the original shoulder belts and they go with the car along with the air conditioning cpompressor.  The compressor is not frozen so it should be good.  I have receipts and paperwork going back to the mid 60's and covering 4 different owners.  The vehicle also retains its original owners manual, operators manual, warranty card, starting instructions sleeve and warrranty facts guide.  It has all 5 of the styled steel wheels.  I have two correct non-GT center caps for the wheels also.

This is a one time listing only, it will NOT be relisted.  The ONLY reason its listed is I have found a convertible I want.  The reserve is what I have, total, into this car which is VERY reasonable. Clean Michigan title in my name.

Any questions, just ask.

I will work with your shipper of choice.  The vehicle can stay here for a maximum of 2 weeks but it will be parked outside of the garage.

$500 deposit due within 24 hours thru paypal.  Final payment due within 48 hours of auctions end.  Aki questions first, bid second.  Don't bid if you can't buy it.  You win the auction, you bought it.   Vehicle is sold as is, where it is.

2013 Ford F-150 Limited

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.

Chinese market Ford Taurus will be unveiled at Shanghai Motor Show

Fri, Apr 10 2015

A new Ford Taurus is on the way, at least for some markets. As part of a huge unveiling of seven models for the Asia Pacific market at the Shanghai Motor Show, Ford is announcing the debut of the company's next-gen large sedan on April 18 just before the event in China begins. Unfortunately, the Taurus that we see in Shanghai might not signal too much about the future version in the US. Ford spokesperson Monique Brentley tells Autoblog that this debut is specifically for the Chinese market, and the Blue Oval isn't saying whether any of this updated look will come across the Pacific. We got a tiny preview of the new Taurus earlier this year when one was spotted wearing heavy camouflage while testing in China. That one retained the sedan's hexagonal grille but added more horizontal chrome slats. It also featured reshaped headlights and a broad, lower air dam. Previous reports have indicated the next-gen model might be built around a stretched and widened version of the Fusion platform, and a major goal during development was shedding as many pounds as possible. With little time before the official unveiling, it won't be long until we'll know much of this for sure.

Ford's new flagship sedan for China will take the stage at the auto show, along with six other new vehicles making their debuts in Asia Pacific. "We are looking forward to taking the wraps off seven new vehicles for our customers in China and continuing our delivery of great products and innovative technologies," said John Lawler, chairman and CEO, Ford China.

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company

Thu, 03 Oct 2013



That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.
