This is a 4 month old restoration of a rust free very nice 87K original mile 1974 Gran Torino. I am a sucker for anything from my childhood and bought a very straight rust free never been hit car to start. I did my research and between paint, wheels and interior managed to make a very accurate clone of the Starsky and Hutch cars I grew up with. The reserve is set at much less than I have into the car. The motor was totally gone threw, and tuned with an aftermarket Edelbrock Carb, The car was stripped and painted with an expensive two stage paint and color sanded. Not to mention to different stages of taping and painting to achieve the perfect stripes. Then the car received a new headliner, carpet and seat padding and upholstery. The car sounds and drives amazingly. The stereo is not original, but a detachable face cd player am/fm. The steering wheel has two cracks in the black plastic. And the gas gauge works speratically. The bumpers could use rechroming. Other than that the car is great. The glass is perfect. The chassis is rust free and straight. The trunk is rust free and has never been replaced. There are no problems in the paint of any kind. ZERO scratches, chips, dings. The tires and rims have about 150 miles on them tops! I spared no expense to recreate the car I wanted. The more you research these cars the more you'll see how exacting this car is. I think if you found 10 of these cars you wouldn't find one as good. The grill isn't all broken up. The trim around the wheel well is there and straight. The car runs great and can be driven with one finger. I've taken some friends out to Hollywood and around LA a couple times having a great time. I also have picked my kids up from school and the friends loved it. Honestly though, the people that love it the most are the 35-55 year old men that grew up with the show. Anyway, I've had my fun restoring and driving it, and like guitars and watches, my ADHD kicks in and I get bored. There are always other cars I want to experience and I thought I would start selling the car now. I am ready to take a loss, but not give the car away. Last Summer equivalent cars were selling on ebay for $20-25K. This is a FRESH restoration from California. Home of the original TV and movie cars. The car is housed at the Torrance Airport generally but can be brought home to Palos Verdes Estates for viewing with one days notice. Call 3102595195 to schedule. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time, as I have friends that are interested in buying or trading. Thanks for looking and bidding.

2015 Ford C-Max gets a corporate nose job [w/video]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Ford might not have the splashiest booth here at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, but the automaker is showing off quite a bit of hardware that will actually end up on roads across Europe. Parisians are no doubt tickled at getting to see the specifications of the Mustang tuned for The Continent (which has a revised suspension for European roads, and a few visual nips and tucks), in addition to the revised face of the family-friendly C-Max.
As you can see, C-Max styling has been revisited with a deft touch, grafting Ford's six-sided corporate grille on the nose, in place of the outgoing car's two-part affair. New headlights can also be found on the car's revised front fascia, though the rear end of the C-Max looks only slightly different than the current version.
Inside the cabin, Ford has consolidated controls and upped the ante in terms of material quality, with "black satin" and chrome details and more storage capacity, overall. Grocery-lugging moms and dads everywhere should appreciate the hands-free liftgate feature, as well.

Ford Focus Electric gets $6,000 price drop, now starts at $29,995

Mon, Oct 20 2014

In early 2013, the Nissan Leaf shed a massive $6,500 from its $35,200 base price to offer a new starting price of $28,800. Since then, we have seen numerous other plug-in vehicles get smaller price tags, from the Honda Fit EV (lower lease price) to the Chevrolet Volt (around $5,000 lower) to the Mitsubishi i (a $6,130 drop). Last year, Ford lowered the $39,200 price of the Focus Electric by around $4,000, but that hasn't been enough to get the Ford EV to really compete, saleswise, with other plug-in vehicles on the market. But wait, as they say, there's more. This past weekend, Ford lopped another $6,000 from the price of both the 2014 model year Focus EVs currently on dealer lots as well as the redesigned 2015 models that are now rolling out (they're basically the same car, minus some appearance changes). Ford spokesman Aaron Miller confirmed to AutoblogGreen that the Focus EV will now start at $29,995 and said that reducing the price should make the Blue Oval's only pure EV competitive. "We hope by reducing the price we're giving consumers another reason to consider it," he said. Through the end of September 2014, Ford has sold just 1,534 Focus EVs in the US (the model sold 1,335 in the first nine months of 2013). For comparison's sake, the Nissan Leaf starts at $29,010 and sells around 3,000 units a month in the US. Miller notes that the Focus EV has been selling the best on the West Coast, and is also doing well on the East Coast. After that, he said Atlanta and the Great Lakes area also see decent sales of model's admittedly small pie. We can only assume that offering the EV for under $30,000 will make that pie somewhat bigger.

Ford F-100 'Snakebit' shown off by Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed at SEMA

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Ford, along with KISS bassist Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed, used SEMA as a backdrop to pull the covers off Snakebit, a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck that's been updated with Shelby Mustang-derived styling bits and a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. All 550 horsepower are funneled through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels.
Underneath the custom bodywork sits a chassis that's been stretched five inches and a bed widened and bedecked with billet machined pieces that are supposed to look like wood. The 20-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels ape those of past Shelby Mustang models. The interior is swathed in two-tone leather with a bench seat designed to look - try to act surprised - like a Shelby Mustang.
Like what you see? Bidding for the truck will take place in 2014 at an unspecified Barrett-Jackson event (we'd assume Scottsdale). Proceeds will be used to help build a children's hospital in Saskatoon, in the province of Saskatchewan, where Ms. Tweed grew up. See the high-res gallery above and the press release down below for more.
