Power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, air conditioning, remote side mirror, 2 way tailgate, hideaway headlights, wood grain dash and exterior.

This is a rare clean station wagon, it had the same owner since the early 70's and I have the build sheet and probably every receipt from then to date. This is a high option car and everything works except the AC does not blow cold, I have not looked into why. It has the hide away head lights that are so cool and power windows including the rear that all work. The interior is near perfect with the exception of the carpet which is faded, the front seat has been recovered to match and all the mechanical working parts in the power front seat have been taken apart, cleaned and lubed and it works great. The dash is wood grain and the dash pad is really nice, there is fading in the lens over the clock the rest of the dash is clear. The rear side panels are nice and the floor has very few scratches and a nice headliner. The floor pans are near perfect as is the spare tire well and trunk.

The exterior of the car is real nice, the paint is very good with the usual chips, the body is straight with a small dent in the passenger rear quarter panel, the wood grain on the sides is still dark brown although the tailgate is faded. I have not found any rust in the body with the exception of a little surface rust. The hood had been bent when I got it so I put a brown hood on it while searching for a GT hood, the hood actually looks good a most people think it came that way. The hood is in good shape but the paint is bad. The hideaway headlights work but come part way open shortly after shutting down the engine which indicates a vacuum leak some where in the system. I have replaced the switch and most the hoses, the can holds pressure so it may be the actuator. It is missing a grill off the driver side headlight door that may be seen in the pictures.

The engine runs smooth (requires premium gas) and sounds good with the flowmaster mufflers on dual exhaust (it has a nice rumble). I think the engine is the original and has been untouched except for tuning and lubing, the transmission does not hesitate and shifts good, the rearend is a 9 inch stamped 3.00 HD and had tapered tubes which I am told is heavy duty.

All and all this is a very nice car and you may look a long time to find a cleaner Torino wagon if at all. It does need some tinkering with the following: the dash pad rattles so someone may have had it out and never got it tight, there is some squeaking in the front suspension so it may need a bushing or two, sometimes it floods sitting so it may need a kit in the carb and it stops well but may be getting close to brakes. None of these need done to drive they are just things that I would look into, I just want you to be aware.

Ford tops GM in US vehicle sales in May, driven by fleets

Thu, Jun 1 2017

DETROIT - Ford, bolstered by heavy sales to fleet customers, surpassed General Motors in US new vehicle sales in May, according to figures reported Thursday. Ford said May sales rose 2.2 percent from a year ago to 241,126 units. GM sales dropped 1.3 percent to 237,364. GM said it had been trimming sales of heavily discounted vehicles to car rental companies. Such fleet sales made up about 19 percent of its total sales in May. Ford's fleet sales rose 8.4 percent, representing more than 34 percent of total sales. The industry average is around 20 percent. Analysts had expected mixed results for the industry, with sales likely propped up by heavy discounts. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said May sales dipped 0.9 percent to 193,040. Toyota's US sales dropped 0.5 percent to 218,248. Nissan said US sales in May rose 3.0 percent, to 137,471. After demand fell in March and April, analysts estimated May sales at just over 1.5 million. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of sales in May was estimated at 16.8 million to 16.9 million vehicles, about the same as April. A year earlier, sales stood at 17.55 million vehicles. Early reports indicated that sales over the three-day Memorial Day weekend were helped by heavy discounts. "While demand for new vehicles is still relatively strong, it's a bit of smoke and mirrors," said Jessica Caldwell, executive director of industry analysis at Edmunds, the car shopping website. Manufacturers and dealers "really pushed the deals over the holiday weekend to prop up their May numbers," she said. "Incentives were up sharply, and it seems automakers are putting more cash on the hood to nudge car shoppers to buy versus lease." General Motors dealers were offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the full-size Chevrolet Silverado pickup, while some dealer discounts on Ford Motor Co's F-series pickups were more than $10,000 on 2017 models and more than $14,000 on leftover 2016 models. The 2017 model year started eight months ago. Reporting by Paul LienertRelated Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Ford Escort returns, just not for US

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

Ford is set to give the burgeoning Chinese market its very own C-segment model, while also reviving one of the brand's more notable nameplates. The new Escort, which will make its world debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show will be built in the People's Republic at the Changan Ford joint venture facility.
The Escort's exterior is best thought of as a mix of the finer points from the US market Focus and Fusion, with the Aston Martin-ish grille and narrow, wraparound taillights presenting a clean look at either end of the car. It's all fairly true to the concept car from last year's Shanghai Motor Show. That said, this exterior job is almost too clean. There doesn't seem to be a lot of character or substance beyond the typical Ford looks.
There's a similar issue in the cabin - it all looks pretty nice, but the design is rather plain, particularly when viewed alongside the display-filled cabin of a US-spec car. Still, there looks to be a fair amount of space in both the front and back seats, and the trunk isn't exactly tiny, either.
