Project 1968 Torino Gt Formal Roof on 2040-cars
Cordova, Tennessee, United States
|
You are bidding on my 1968 Torino GT 2 door Hard Top project car. It started life as a small block automatic. Candy Apple Red factory color. I have upgraded the drivetrain to include a 390 8V with comp cam, lifters and timing gear, hardened pushrods, factory ford 8v dual quad intake, Holley 3310's, Hooker Headers, 14 bolt poor mans GT heads, Aluminum radiator, electric fan, Cobra air cleaner and valve covers, Aluminum racing flywheel, Hays HD Clutch, Tilton clutch cylinder, pull type hydraulic clutch, Flow Master 3" mufflers and pipes exiting in front of 9" ford with 4:11 posi gears, Transmission is a World Class T5 with an adapter plate to mate to a factory bell housing. I was planning on running a factory CJ top loader but the cost is a bit high and do not want to spend the money however the car is set up to do this just a new driveshaft if this is the way you want to go. I have replaced the entire front end suspension, still running drums all around but there are kits to upgrade to all discs and still use the factory GT 14"rims which look great as a sleeper/stock rim. All new Firestone Indy rubber including the spare, Body is solid with some repairs made to the floor pan, Leather power seats front and rear from an Audi which are very comfortable. All together this is a solid project car for the right person. Just ran out of budget and interest is flowing to other projects however if money was available discs, a top loader, and body completion was my direction. I have a clean title, a very low reserve however if the high bidder is close I will let it go if it does not meet the reserve. Best of luck and Happy Bidding. I can provide more pics upon request. |

Ford Mustang hit by Moore' Oklahoma's EF5 tornado lives to do another burnout
Fri, 07 Jun 2013Oklahoma recently saw the destructive power of an EF5 tornado, but in the aftermath of the devastation, we've also been witness to the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Moore, OK resident Jack Haden survived the storm but found that his 2003 Ford Mustang wasn't quite as lucky. As you can see in the image above, the tornado's 200+ mph winds did quite a number on the car, but while most people would have likely called their insurance company and scrapped the car, Haden had other plans.
After finding the car and seeing that its V6 still fired up, Haden spent a couple hours getting the car, um... roadworthy(?)... by removing the doors and front clip, cutting off the roof and putting on some new wheels and tires. He noticed that driving it around brought some comic relief to an area that needed a reason to laugh and smile. Check out the KSBI TV news report video below showing before and after pictures of the tough 'Stang, as well as a video showing the newly lightweight coupe doing a smoky burnout.
Ford moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio
Thu, 27 Feb 2014
A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.
Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford
Thu, 16 Oct 2014The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
