1970 Ford Torino 5.0l on 2040-cars
Clearlake, California, United States
|
This is a rare chance to own a 1970 Ford Torino. This car has original 67k miles and has been in the same family (until recently) since 1976. It was owned by a gentleman that left it to his grandson after he passed away. Before he died he had told the kid that this used to be a detectives car and it has places on the hood where lights might have been. I don't know for sure but its a good story.
The OD reads just over 67k miles and judging by the condition of the car, interior, trunk and the way she runs and drives I would have to agree not even a lot of wear on the brake pedal. I think that by today's standards this is a low mile car but if you were to buy this one back in the 80's this would have been average miles, Vehicle were just getting to were they would go over a 100k and still be going strong. This one runs strong. The exterior has been resprayed at one point to a brown metallic from its original gold/tan color, Also some conservative stripes were put on too. All glass is good and the body is very straight and has very little rust if any at all. The engine is the stock 302ci v8 with a auto trans and it all works as it should.has stock exhaust manifolds but has real dual exhaust with flowmaster mufflers that have a nice rumble. This one comes with several repair manuals for this car as well as other of the time and the original owners manual and warranty tag (protecto plate). It also retains its original blue and yellow California plates. The Torino was made here in California at the San Jose factory and is pretty much rust free and has always been a California car. The interior remains stock and in good condition with the exception of a seam splitting on the drivers side bottom of the seat. There is a cd player in the car but no holes were cut in the dash. This is a great car if your into Torinos and either dont have the funds to get the GT Cobra version or that that one is just to much. Now is your chance to own a classic muscle car Ford Torino.

Jerry Seinfeld doesn't love Sarah Jessica Parker's new Country Squire in latest CiCGC
Fri, 20 Jun 2014Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee has finally returned for its fourth season of combining Jerry Seinfeld, a miscellaneous celebrity and a cup of java. But rather than fondly remembering some older piece of automotive machinery, this time around, Seinfeld is utterly unable to keep his hatred of Sarah Jessica Parker's 1976 Ford LTD Country Squire from coming out to hilarious effect.
However, Parker has such a high level of infectious enthusiasm for her recently purchased Country Squire that she seems to win over Seinfeld by the end - at least a little bit. For most of their time together, the two of them drive around Manhattan and the suburbs waxing nostalgic about what things were like when these wagons were ubiquitous.
Since this is actually SJP's car, she and Seinfeld trade off driving duties, and the image above should give you some indication of Seinfeld's reaction to the Sex and the City star behind the wheel. It seems this '70s land yacht might be a little too much for her to handle in New York traffic. Regardless, she is absolutely in love with her Ford.
Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
eBay Find of the Day: 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is showroom fresh
Tue, 27 Aug 2013There's an ultra-rare Ford Thunderbird for sale on eBay, although it's not quite the T-Bird you're probably thinking. This is a 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, complete with a five-speed manual transmission and just a shade over 13,000 miles on the clock. The condition is said to be mint, and judging by the interior and exterior pictures, we're inclined to believe the seller. The paint is glossy and the interior looks showroom new, while the underbody is stunningly clean for a 36-year-old car.
Underhood sits a 2.3-liter, intercooled and turbocharged four-cylinder (also found in the Mustang SVO) that was producing 190 horsepower when it left the factory. Inside, the five-speed manual transmission adds to the car's rarity. The vehicle's sole owner has been as immaculate with the paperwork as he has with the rest of the car - it's all there, including brochures and other product material.
The eBay auction ends tomorrow at midnight (9:00 PM if you're on America's west coast). Bidding has reached $10,200, and there's still plenty of time to get in on this future classic. The vehicle is located in Millstone Township, NJ.
