This auction is for a used 1974 Ford Gran Torino Elite with 351 Windsor engine and C6 automatic transmission. This car has been undergoing repair work and is a running, driving and mostly completed car. Repair work done: Engine remanufactured at local machine shop and has added main stud girdle and rocker girdles. The boring process brought the cubic inches up from 351 to 357. The intake is a four barrel aluminum Edelbrock RPM Air Gap performance intake. The carburetor is a FoMoCo four barrel 4100 with vacuum secondaries and automatic choke. The brakes have mostly new parts and the steering gearbox has new seals installed. A new radiator was added and a new Die Hard Gold battery was installed. It has very rare functional automatic seat back unlatchers (when door opens seat backs unlatch for rear occupants to exit). It also includes an original set of hubcaps and it has new tires. It also includes a set of studded snow tires (one of which is currently serving as the spare). Also the exhaust and muffler are new. Repair work to be completed: Needs new carpet, one front seat spring needs repaired (easy to get to), rear defroster glass setup needs installed (have complete setup with wiring, switch and glass), lower body small rust repairs need completed, steering wheel needs crack repairs (a temporary one is in place and two original type and color steering wheels with a horn bar are included but are off the car for repairs), the dash pad has cracks and needs repaired, the right rear bumper mount needs replaced and the vinyl roof is old and needs replaced. There is some sawdust in some of the pictures and the car is dusty however I will clean it before pickup. The car has been garage kept and lightly driven by my parents for about 20 years and is drivable (as long as the rust is tended to so there's no chance of exhaust getting into the car however unlikely). Buyer pays all shipping and should arrange for delivery. I may at my discretion deliver for a set fee in and around PA state. An ideal garage for this car would be at least 21 feet in length. VIN 4G21H264169 Mileage says 13150 however I believe it is 113150 actually. Body 65M Color 5J 1 Trim JU Trans. U Axle 2 DSO 16 Date 6/74 GVWR 5463 Any questions feel free to ask. Thanks and have a nice day.

Detroit and Silicon Valley: When cultures collide

Fri, May 26 2017

Culture is a subject that rarely, if never, gets discussed when traditional auto companies buy — or hugely invest — in Silicon Valley-based companies. The conversation surrounding the investments is usually about how the tech looks appealing and how it's an appropriate step to move the automakers toward autonomy. Culture — the way things are done, the expectations, and the approaches — is something that is overlooked only at one's peril. The potential cultural gap is almost always evident in the obligatory photos of the participants in these deals, with is essentially a photo op of auto execs with their Silicon Valley counterparts. The former — rocking jeans and no ties — look like parochial school kids playing hooky. Don't worry: The regimental outfits will be back in place once they get back in the Eastern time zone. Consider what happened back in 1998 when Daimler bought Chrysler. First of all, there was a denial in Detroit that it happened. It was positioned as a "merger of equals." Which it wasn't. In any corporate situation, when one has more than 50 percent of the business, it owns the whole thing. And the German company was in the proverbial driver's seat. People who were around Auburn Hills back then kept their heads down and their German Made Simple books at hand. Things did not go well. Daimler had had enough by 2007, when it offloaded Chrysler to Cerberus Capital Management — which brought ex-Home Depot CEO Bob Nardelli into the picture, which is a story onto itself. But when you think about the Daimler-Chrysler situation, realize that these were two car companies (at least the Mercedes part of the Daimler organization), so they had that in common, and the language of engineers is something of an Esperanto based on math, so there was that, too. Yet it simply didn't work. It doesn't take too many viewings of HBO's Silicon Valley to know that the business people in that part of the world are far more aggressive than people who ordinarily head and control car companies in Detroit. About 20 years ago, a book came out about the founder of Oracle titled The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison* - and the asterisk on the book jacket leads to: God Doesn't Think He's Larry Ellison. It would be hard to imagine a book about a Detroit executive, even a book that had the decided bias that the tome about Ellison evinces, that would be quite so searing. Sure, there are egos. But they are still perceived to be, overall, "nice" people.

Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.

Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years

Wed, 01 May 2013

While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
