Up for bid is my 1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport Fastback. This Torino has been well cared for with few owners. I am currently the 3rd owner. I purchased this Torino from Alabama 13 years ago with 54,000 original miles on it. To my knowledge this car was purchased new in Alabama and stayed there until I brought it to Mississippi. This was my first car and a daily driver for me for many years. It has actually been the most dependable vehicle I've owned, which is quite funny considering the age. The car was repainted back the original color around 11 years ago and shortly after won the only car show I ever entered it in. But being an every day driver it does have some wear on the paint such as chips, fades, and flakes which are all minor. The cars interior is mostly original from the factory. This is the sport interior with bucket seats and automatic in the floor console. I'm not much of a bench seat fan for my sports cars. I did replace the carpet which is now faded a bit but that's a simple fix. The seats are original but have just a few seams starting to separate. the headliner also has a small separation of a few inches in the back corner. Other than that the interior is in great original shape. The dash is crack free which is a big deal. The door panels, console, and everything else is well preserved also. As for the body there are a few small rust spots on the passenger side and some on the chrome. Also some minor damage to the passenger rear corner which mostly just chipped the paint more than anything. None of these I would consider major. Other than that the body is excellent! All gaps line up perfect. The doors, hood, and trunk all close very easily and smoothly with the push of a finger. All of the windows are in working order and all of the glass is without a crack, chip, peck or blemish anywhere. The trunk is solid and includes the original Polyglas GT spare. The lights and signals are all in great condition. This Torino has been driven less than 100 miles since the carburetor and tires were replaced new. Also, the dual exhaust (although original) sounds great. This car currently has 82,166 actual miles on it and a NADA average retail of over $11,000.00. I also have some extra emblems and a few other things that will go with the car. This is a rare find. Bid with confidence. Congratulations to the winning bidder!

Ford begins testing right-hand-drive Mustang
Wed, 20 Aug 2014Ford has officially kicked off testing of the right-hand-drive variant of its sixth-generation, 2015 Mustang, according to a statement issued by the company, which came with the above photo.
According to Ford, this will mark the first time a right-hand-drive 'Stang has traveled down the company's assembly line alongside its LHD brethren. It is far from the first of the legendary pony cars to feature its wheel on the wrong side, though, as converters in RHD markets across the globe have been making swaps for years.
Ford is planning on using the white, droptop Mustang for RHD development ahead of the car's arrival in the UK, Australia and South Africa, among other markets. Scroll down for the official press blast.
Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects
Thu, 16 May 2013Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like
Sat, 12 Oct 2013Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.
