1970 Ford Torino GT, 351C 4 barrel, 4 Speed!! All matching numbers!!!! The 351C is still all original and runs great!!! It is also a factory 4 barrel engine which is a little more rare!!! I have actually drove the car locally here, around the block etc...The 4 Speed is very slick and smooth with no problems at all!!!! Car is great shape overall!! Although the car does need minor work to be back road ready, including final touches over the brakes, some exhaust work, small patches on the front floor pans (VERY SMALL PATCHES, ONLY AT THE EDGE OF EACH SIDE NEAR THE ENTRY PLATES) and maybe a couple other little things here and there to get it to pass state inspection!?!? I just put new brakes on the front and new wheel cylinders front and rear last month, I just didn't finish adjusting everything completely!! The car has aftermaket exhaust including some type of glass pack mufflers and dual pipes...just believe it may have a leak here or there!? I was goin to put all new exhaust with twin flowmasters and dump them out behind the rear tires when I started working on the car but I just have too many projects and no time!! Of coarse if someone wanted a really nice car or even a show car this one would need more work!! I've only owned the car for about a year and a half...I had big plans for it since it was factory Cleveland 4 Speed!!! I was goin to restore the entire car from ground up, but like I said...I just have too much goin on, so honestly my loss is your gain!!! Id rather see it go to a good home instead of just sitting!!! I bought it from an elderly guy that has owned the car since the late 70's, he had to go into a nursing home due to illnesses!! He had the car painted and everything redone in 1995 but then had a heart attack later that year and the car had to sit out!! From there the car started to fade again and so on!! So the car is of coarse faded and in need of paint and body work, and also interior work!! As far as body work the car has a very small amount of rust in the lower rear quarter panels and maybe a little amount here and there around the lower portion of the other body panels!! Nothing serious enough to have to replace any body parts or panels!! The car other than that is very straight and very solid, absolutely no rust in the frame rails etc!!!! It will need a hood I believe...due to it being weak near the passenger hood hinge!! My plans were to put a shaker on it when I redone it!! The interior is in need of work also, both front bucket seats need recovered, needs a headliner, and new carpet!! Dash pad also has a few cracks in it!! All interior lights still work great along with the dash cluster lights etc!! All the glass in the car is complete and in very good shape!! Car is a hide away headlight car which is all still in contact, just not working due to someone having the vacuum lines unhooked!! Someone just opened the hide aways and left it as that! The Gt tail lights all work and are also in great shape!! Like I said the car is in really great shape and would only need a little love to be back a really hot muscle car cruising the strip!!! Especially being a 4 speed car!!!! When I bought the car I put a brand new battery in it, both new battery cables, new starter, new spark plugs and like I said earlier brakes and all new wheel cylinders!!! Would be a great low budget cruiser for someone or an awesome, solid start for a show car for someone wanting a little more than just a daily driver!!!! For any questions please feel free to give me a call anytime, my cell phone number is 1-540-430-3741, Thanks!!

The history and future of the Ford Bronco
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.
Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list
Mon, 20 Jan 2014Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.
