Up for auction is this BEAUTIFUL turquoise 1971 Ford Torino 500 sedan. Runs and drives great! The Cleveland 2V 351 V8 engine has been well taken care of and runs smoothly and powerfully. This car DRIVES! Is mated to the smooth shifting C-4 3 speed automatic transmission. Free of frame rust!
Vehicle is sold AS-IS. Needs some bodywork as seen in the pictures. The right-rear door is a bit pushed in and the clear coat needs to be redone on some body panels. Rear bumper could be re-chromed and hood could use being redone. Also needs some touches such as the chrome striping that goes along the passenger side, passenger side mirror and a few dents and scratches removed, but if you can do it, this is soon to be up to the condition it needs to be to be a top of the line example of American Muscle. Even in the condition it is in, this Torino turns heads wherever it goes and with its potential, this car is destined to be a true collectible classic. The interior has been kept up in great condition! Check out the dash, front seat, and courtesy ceiling light that could be repaired to get this interior looking perfect. A/C needs to be recharged. Does not currently blow cold air, but fan and heater works! Turn signals are not currently working, although headlights and rears lights do work (reverse lights need to be replaced) with the flip of a an aftermarket installed switch you can see under the dash in the picture. This can be replaced with an original switch easily. Also, fuel gauge is not currently working yet temperature gauge is. Wipers are working. The drivers side lap seat belt tensioner needs you to put your finger underneath it to release the seat belt, yet some tinkering will allow it to work as it's supposed to. Has original head unit installed, in addition to an aftermarket head unit installed that blends in with the interior, professionally installed with wood trim. Speakers currently do not work but is wired to be replaced and make sweet sounds come out of your sweet ride. As far as the engine goes, the tie rods have just been replaced, as well as the lower control arms, and upper and lower ball joints. The sway bar bushings have been replaced with polyerethane and everything works perfectly! Also installed is a double roller timing chain, new points, ignition coil, plugs, as well as brake master cylinder and U-joints. The shift points could use being adjusted as can be noticed when putting in Park, Drive, or Reverse. Nevertheless, shifts smoothly and effortlessly when driving. Has all good tires plus a spare. The rear brakes do need to be replaced but the front brakes have been replaced about a month ago. I'm also including a new halogen bulb, additional new spark plugs as well as a used, working electronic distributor for the 351 engine that can replace the now, working analog distributor that's currently installed. Says over 94,000 miles but it's impossible to tell actual mileage as the working odometer only goes up to 100,000 miles. Needs some work to get this in PERFECT condition, but definitely worth it in this vehicle! Thought of keeping it myself and doing all the work, but my heart is set on saving up to buy an RV. Rare original color for a rare car, the style and sport of a muscle car and the practicality of a sedan, this car is ready to GO! Happy Bidding! |

Diesel details: Comparing Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, Chevy Silverado Duramax, Ford F-150 Powerstroke
Thu, Jun 13 2019With specifications for the 2019 Ford F-150 Power Stroke diesel already out, and the details on the 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and Chevy Silverado Duramax (and its GMC Sierra twin) trickling out, we felt it was a good time to start comparing the full-size trucks' light-duty diesels. Bear in mind, we've only driven one of these new diesel trucks, so we'll be sticking to numbers for now. Some numbers haven't been announced yet, either, but stay tuned, because we'll be updating this post with additional specifications as they become available. And if you want to compare any other versions of these trucks with other vehicles, be sure to check out our comparison tool. Now let's start comparing, starting with our big chart of numbers below. As we can plainly see, these trucks are quite closely matched. Each one has six cylinders, a displacement of 3.0 liters and a turbocharger to boost it. The output of each is somewhat close, too. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is the torque king at 480 pound-feet, 20 more than the GM trucks and 40 more than the Ford. The GM trucks win on power, though, with 277 ponies, 17 more than the Ram, and 27 more than the Ford. GM does report that you get their trucks' peak 460 pound-feet of torque from 1,500 rpm to 3,000 rpm, whereas the others only report peak torque at a particular point in the rev band, but all of these trucks should have wide, flat torque curves as you would expect from modern turbodiesels. 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel View 8 Photos Engine output is only one part of the truck performance equation. We also have towing and payload capacity, as well as fuel economy. With towing, the Ram 1500 is the current leader with a maximum capacity of 12,560 pounds. That tops the Ford F-150's 11,400-pound tow rating by well over 1,000 pounds. The F-150 can carry 2,020 pounds in its bed, but we don't know yet whether that's better or worse than the Ram or the GM trucks. We also don't have numbers for the GM trucks' towing capacities. View 9 Photos As for fuel economy, the Ford F-150 manages a thoroughly impressive 22 mpg in the city and 30 on the highway with two-wheel drive. Choosing four-wheel drive drops those numbers to 20 and 25 respectively. The fuel economy numbers for the Ram, Chevy and GMC haven't been revealed yet, but for some comparison, we can look at the old Ram EcoDiesel. That truck's best fuel economy was 20 in the city and 27 on the highway with two-wheel drive.
Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.
