1971 Ford Torino 500, blue, 302, automatic, A/C, Rod and Custom front disk brake conversion, new suspension front and rear, new interior, new exhaust, new gas tank and sending unit, aluminum intake and 4bbl carb. Just home from the best paint shop in Arkansas!!
I bought the car in 2010 from the original owner. He parked the car in 1995. Field mice made a home in this car for a long time, so I gutted the interior, put in new floor pans, new carpet, new front seat bottom upholstery, and replaced any damaged wiring. The cowl must have been home base, because the pee ate it up after the drains got clogged with leaves and dirt. I fiberglassed it and then sealed the cowl. The fuse block has some corrosion, but all works fine.
Car was not rusty on the exterior, as It's been an Arkansas car since '71, but the field mice were unkind to the interior. All that has been fixed.
Everything works as it should except the speedometer doesn't read. The dash lights go in and out, so I suspect the fuse holding prongs need attention. The Summit all in one gauge has everything you need anyway, including temp, oil pressure, volts and RPM's. I just had the air conditioning system COMPLETELY replaced with all new components - $1500 and a one year warranty! I went through the car front to back and top to bottom replacing everything to make it a safe, reliable car. I replaced plug wires, rotor, alternator, belts, transmission fluid, brake lines, master cylinder, etc.
Car was repainted in May 2013 and is arrow straight, with just a few imperfections. Runs perfect. The original, vin matching 302 has chrome valve covers now and a chrome air cleaner lid. The scoop is an original 1969 Mustang Mach 1 scoop, with turn signals. Wheels are original Magnum 500's, restored.

The 2015 Ford Mustang is not so mellow in yellow
Tue, 14 Jan 2014When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
