Up for auction this week is a 1972 FORD GRAN TORINO SPORT with a matching numbers drive train from the 351 Cleveland motor to the C-4 Transmission through to the 2.75 axle. Bone stock and all original this amazing automobile was taken down to bare metal and limited filler was used to get this car extremely straight. This Rust Free car was well cared for by a City of Kirkland Fire Chief for 42 years and this car shows the owner loved and cared and babied this car its entire life.
Ground down to bare metal. Metal conditioned prior to primer. Self etching primer was then applied. A PPG DP-90 sealed, then 5 coats of high build, then block sanded. 2 more coats of high build primer once again and block sanded once again. Then finish wet sanded with 600 grit prior to painting color. PPG Basecoat Clearcoat was applied professionally, have receipts to show and then the laser stripe was applied after paint had a chance to cure totally. The 351 Cleveland motor, which was rebuilt by previous owner, runs strong and tight and LEAKS NOTHING!!!!! What is that worth to you? Transmission, C-4, was rebuilt by previous owner and leaks nothing and shifts smoothly every time. Power steering, power disc brakes, new alternator, new battery and plugs and wires are also new. The gas tank was boiled and a new sending unit was installed. Some of the factory identifying tags are still on the engine, rear end, power steer pump and wiper motor. A new dual exhaust system was installed and has new quiet muffler and 2.5 inch exhaust pipes. Moving to the inside of the car, the seats are extremely nice both the front and rear. I doubt anyone has ever sat in the back seat. Door panels are scratch free and are in great condition. Dash Pad on the car is CRACK FREE!!!!!!!!!! All lights work on this car. Headlights high and low, turn signals, license plate light even works. Dash lights and turn signals all work. The windows all roll up and down freely with out any noise or grinding. Both doors up and close and lock perfectly. Both high and low wiper motor works. Heater core was replaced along with a new dash heater switch and heater resistor are new. Stock radio is present and looks great but is not hooked up but wiring for it is present. The new black vinyl top was installed professionally by the guys at Auto Dynamix in Bellevue as well as the windows being re-sealed. Top is crisp and clean and is tight on the roof. The vinyl top trim was buffed and painted to refresh the look. The trunk on the car has been restored to factory fresh appearance with factory looking splatter paint applied and clear coated to protection and durability. Both the engine and trunk compartments have been detailed and are clean. Magnum 500 chrome rims with NEW Cooper 225 70 14's are on the car with new Gran Torino center caps and new lug nuts. Car rides on these rims and tires. The chrome shine on the front and rear bumpers are still amazing looking. Maybe at one time the original owner had the bumpers rechromed OR the car had to be in a garage its entire life to still have a gorgeous chrome shine to both bumpers. Straight and clean thees bumpers even have the bumperette's on them and they look great too. The car was undercoated heavily from the factory probably since the car was built in Seattle. The undercoating has preserved the underside of the car. Original Owner must have check the box of options of heavy undercoating to the option list. This undercoating is not something out of a spray can. This car has had quite a overhauling and it shows. I can assist you with shipping transportation for the vehicle. I have used Royal Auto Transport, not to be confused with Royal Auto Movers, they suck, but Ameer and his mom run a tight ship and they will try hard to get you the best quote for your car shipping needs. Please feel free to call, text, or email me on any and all questions you may have on this breath taking car. Clint Eastwood himself would Oooooo and Awwwwww over this piece of automobile history. Be the next guy on your block to get the two thumbs up were ever you go. This car gets attention just sitting in a parking spot. Please call me at 425-454-6629 my name is Mike and i would love to chat at great lengths on this car. I've tried hard to the best of my ability to describe this car as honestly as i can. The last thing i want is someone who is not totally satisfied when they get this car. The car speaks volumes by itself. Fly in and see it or send someone to check it out. Nothing to hide here. This car is simply amazing and i hate to sell it but i cant keep them all. Thanks again for checking out this car and have a great day! |

Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.

2015 Ford Mustang prototype spotted on the street
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Our trusty spy photographers have snapped the first photos of the 2015 Ford Mustang prototype out on public streets. With nearly every square inch of the machine covered in heavy camouflage, it's difficult to discern details, but we can see smallish horizontal headlamps at work in the coupe's nose. Ford has made it clear that modern lighting technology will allow the company to get away from large, expensive headlamp arrays in the near future, and the 2015 Mustang may very well be the first of the automaker's products to bow with the new tech. The philosophy was first displayed on the very attractive Evos Concept.
The extensive cladding doesn't extend all the way to the prototype's rockers in the instance, giving us a look at the heavily-sculpted sills. Overall, this test car looks considerably smaller than the current generation Mustang, and elements like a short front overhang and beefy dual-piston calipers give us plenty of hope for the future model. Of course, reports that the 2015 Mustang will bow with an independent rear suspension and EcoBoost power certainly don't hurt our feelings, either.
