1968 Ford Torino 390 2bl (Y code), 4 speed, Gulfstream Aqua, Aqua Vinyl buckets, PS with drum brakes Car was a restoration project that was started but never finished since early 2000. The car has had two repaints that I can see, one prior to 2002 which is visible in the door jambs and was also the wrong color and then again in 2002 when it was repainted the correct color code but the previous owner did not do the door jambs but he did have the inside of the trunk and under the hood sprayed. I would get the door jambs done and any body shop would do this for about $500. The body/paint is driver quality with two spots needing attention, one on the upper right rear quarter (filler has cracked), was told a new quart had been installed prior to the last paint job. The second spot is on the lower left bottom rear wheel opening, two bubbles are evident. Again these two spots could be fixed with ease and color matched. The interior has been partially redone but again never finished properly and still needs attention. There is an aftermarket steering wheel installed, wood grain but the original comes with the car but it needs restored due to cracking etc. The previous owner in 2002-05 had a headliner installed, door panels and bucket seat covers. The carpet is from the 90’s and has stains but might clean, but for $150 why bother. Package tray, sails and door cups need dyed. The dash paid is trashed but an OEM one with no damage comes with the car, it needs dyed as well. All the weather stripping has been changed and is in good shape. The seatbelts are in need of restoration and the passenger side upper roof one is missing. The armrests are ok but the drivers is missing. I do not have the center console. A few windows knobs are also missing. The trim along the front of the headliner was missing but I have one from a donor car, it needs dyed. All gauges, electronics work with the exception of the dome light, it needs replaced. The factory tach is present/functions and an oil pressure gauge has been installed where the clock or filler goes. The quarter edge lacing is cut and needs replaced but the vinyl window lace is again fairly new and in good condition. All the glass is ok and all the window tracks have been rebuilt back in 2000’s. Tires are good and the rims were previously sand blasted but have been scratched here and there from the trim rings being taken off, one trim ring has curbed rash and all 4 center caps GT emblem should be replaced. All stainless on the car is ok but could use a good polish. Both bumpers have been re chromed and still show well. The front grill GT emblem and rear GT emblem need attention, along with the rear taillight bezels (pitting). Both tail light lens are cracked. Side quarter molding along the windows are also pitted and need redone as well. All the suspension has been rebuilt since 2000’s to include ball joints, control arms, sway bar, shocks, and rear leaf springs, the car sits level. The rear end has been gone thru and now has 411 posi gears. The 4sp shifter has been rebuilt and the top loader has also been gone thru. The engine is the original block and has been gone thru and rebuilt and has a set of original 428CJ cast heads topped of with a edelbock aluminum intake and a Holley 750. A Mallory dist is installed and the original is still with the car. The motor has less than 1000 miles on it and at idle shows 65psi. Radiator has been gone thru as well. Brakes have also been redone. Exhaust has big tube headers and no leaks all the way back and still has plenty of life left. The metal dash has been cut but the metal was just bent back for a aftermarket radio and could be fixed easily, also an original radio comes with the car. The metal dash need painted and so do the windshield metal pillars on both sides. The car has the wrong fenders bolts but I have a OEM set. The drivers mirror is pitted and the clutch pedal trim is missing. There a few scratches on the car but just with rubbing compound the are already less visible, so a little 1000 grit on the clear coat should clean them up with ease. All in all the car is a good driver that needs about $1000 to make it look like an 18K car. Runs and drives great and almost everything mechanical has already been done. All that she needs is more or less cosmetic things done. As far as the undercarriage, torque boxes are good, floors are good and there is an old small 3 inch patch on the pass side that just needs undercoated to match the rest of the floor. Rails are fine, trunk is ok and so is under the front engine compartment. The previous owner spent over 20k on the car but just never stuck it out to finish the car from top to bottom and took over 15 years to try the get it done and now she just needs refreshed to get her done. I also have 1 inch folder with its repair history from all the way back to the 80’s. I have tried to describe the car from front to rear but I am human and do miss things, so please ask questions if you are a serious buyer and I will do my best to answer them and get you a photo of that specific area if possible. Clear title and a Marti Report.

Lincoln electric SUV to use Ford-backed Rivian's 'skateboard' chassis

Wed, Nov 27 2019

DETROIT — A battery-powered Lincoln SUV, due in mid-2022, will be the first Ford Motor Co. vehicle built on a custom electrified chassis that resembles a skateboard, which was developed by Ford-backed startup Rivian, according to several people familiar with the program. The all-wheel-drive Lincoln SUV could compete against Rivian's R1S, an electric sport utility vehicle slated to go into production in early 2021 that will be priced from $72,500. Both models will use Rivian's so-called skateboard, a flexible platform that combines electric motors, batteries, controls and suspension. On Tuesday, Ford declined to comment. Rivian did not respond to a request for comment. The new Lincoln, which carries the internal program code U787, also could compete with premium offerings from others, including General Motors Co <GM.N>, which plans to introduce at least two new electric SUVs by 2023, one for Cadillac and one that could revive the Hummer name, sources have said. Ford invested $500 million in Rivian this year and plans to help it begin production next year at a former Mitsubishi plant in Normal, Illinois. When Ford made the investment, it said it would use Rivian's skateboard to develop its own electric vehicle, but did not disclose details. It is not clear where Ford intends to build the Lincoln SUV, which will be among the first of several battery-powered utility vehicles planned for Ford's premium brand in North America and China, according to supplier sources familiar with those programs who asked not to be identified. Ford expects to introduce a compact Lincoln electric crossover in late 2021 or early 2022 and a mid-size companion in 2023, the sources said. The U.S. auto industry plans to invest billions of dollars over the next few years to build all-electric pickups and SUVs, sectors of the market that have been among the most profitable, especially for Detroit-based automakers. But analysts have questioned whether demand from consumers and commercial customers will come close to matching production. Founded in 2009, Rivian has raised $1.9 billion from investors, including e-commerce giant Amazon, which has ordered 100,000 electric delivery vehicles from Rivian. The first Amazon vans will be built in Normal and are to be delivered in 2021. Ford aims to sell an electric F-series pickup in late 2021, sources have said.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected

Thu, 29 May 2014

Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
