This 1970 torino GT was a theift recovery from a chop shop in new york years ago and it has a replacement vin so we have no idea what it started life as, however it has a really good running 351 cleveland 4 bll motor with a nasty cam, real nice headers and a bit of a stahl converter, an a firm shifting c6 auto and a low gear posi rear, and power disk brakes up front. I think it is like 4.30 or something. I drove this car before it was taken apart for restoration , and it will burn the tires at will. Very good brakes and the front end is tight. Full set of magnum 500s with rings and caps. I am a mopar guy with no idea about these fords. My younger brother and his friend bought this car with intentions of restoring it , then they moved out of state and sold it to me, as I had one like this as a kid and I have the ability to restore cars. My wife saw this car and said no way. I had already paid for it so It is now for sale. The buy it now is what I paid for it. The engine alone is worth that. I build torque converters and this one Is nice. The car has had rust in all of the usual places but the floor pans have patch panels have been replaced, as was the drivers lower quarter. Frame rails are good except drivers rear just before the bumper and the drip rail around the trunk is rotten as well as the tail panel needs replaced. Some small holes here and there in trunk floor and previous repairs on floor pan. top, doors and finders are very nice. It has a near perfect gril and nice bumpers. Trunk spoiler, honeycomb tail light panel and a real nice GT hood. The only parts missing are the windshield , and the rear seats. The front bench needs recovered. This is a real cool car that needs to be put back on the road. The original color was dark green. I can deliver in an inclosed trailer for a fee. Comes with new black carpet and headliner . Thanks Chris 314-359-9600

Feds Probe Power Steering In 938,000 Ford Midsize Cars

Mon, Oct 6 2014

U.S. safety regulators are investigating complaints that the power-assisted steering can suddenly fail on three Ford midsize car models. The probe covers 938,000 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars from the 2010 through 2012 model years, as well as the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has received 508 complaints alleging that the cars lost power-assisted steering, causing increased steering effort. Four complaints say the problem caused crashes, but no injuries were reported. The agency says in documents posted Monday on its website that in many cases, a warning message appeared as the failure happened. Restarting the car corrected the problem in some cases, but the problem returned in others. The agency says it will check the scope and frequency of a problem. It could seek a recall. Ford says it's cooperating with the probe. Shares of Ford Motor Co. rose 6 cents to $14.65 in morning trading Monday. Its shares are down 14 percent over the past year.

Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.

GM, Ford, Chrysler halt some Michigan operations over natural gas shortage

Thu, Jan 31 2019

WASHINGTON - General Motors said late on Wednesday it will temporarily suspend operations at 11 Michigan plants and its Warren Tech Center after a utility made an emergency appeal to users to conserve natural gas during extreme winter cold. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles also said it had canceled a shift on Thursday at both its Warren Truck and Sterling Heights Assembly plants and was considering whether it would need to cancel additional shifts. GM said it had been asked by Consumers Energy, a unit of CMS Energy Corp, to suspend operations to allow the utility to manage supply issues after extreme cold temperatures and a fire at a compressor station. It said workers were told not to report for the shifts at its Orion Assembly, Flint Assembly, Lansing Delta Township Assembly and Lansing Grand River Assembly plants, as well as other stamping and transmission plants on Wednesday evening and early Thursday. GM said it was still assessing when employees could return to work. Workers at its Warren Tech Center were also told to stay home on Thursday. In a video message posted on Facebook, CMS Energy Chief Executive Patricia Poppe said large companies, including Fiat Chrysler, Ford Motor Co and GM, had agreed to "interrupt" production schedules through Friday to tackle the issue prompted by a fire at a Michigan facility and the record-breaking cold. Poppe said the usage cuts by large businesses were not enough, and urged 1.8 million Michigan customers to turn down thermostats as much as they could to cut natural gas use in order to protect critical facilities like hospitals and nursing homes. "I need you to take action right now," she said. Ford said it had also taken steps to reduce energy use at its four Michigan plants supplied by Consumers Energy, but added the situation remained fluid. A spokeswoman said it had reduced heating levels at Livonia Transmission and Van Dyke Transmission, stopped heat treatment processes at Sterling Axle and shut down the paint process at Michigan Assembly. Consumers Energy sent an alert to mobile phones in Michigan asking residents to reduce natural gas use.
