1969 Torino GT. Let me start by saying that this car has a Talladega front end on it BUT IT IS NOT A TALLADEGA. It is a GT. I bought this car as a roller a few years back. I had it soda blasted down to bare Metal, all rust (there was not much) was repaired correctly and had it painted Presidential Blue. The frame and underside was already done by the previous owner. I had a 351W - 4V (300HP) engine/heads professionally rebuilt and stuck a new Holley Carb on it. I put in a brand new clutch and matched it up with the correct 1969 wide ratio 4 speed top-loader trans. I put a new Hurst shifter on it too. The car already had a 9" Detroit Locker rear end with Ford racing disk brake conversion, this car has disc brakes all the way around. I put new air shocks and also new front shocks. It appeared that all of the front end was new from previous owner so I left it as is. It has power steering and power Brakes. (No Air Conditioning). This car runs very well down the road and has plenty of power too. The interior is mostly brand new, new headliner, fairlane door panels (Used on the Talladega model), carpet, etc. I bought a fairlane back seat and had the bucket seats re-done with fairlane material to match. Although Talladega model did not offer buckets, I thought I would at least match the materials used. Everything works, lights, heater, AM radio, Etc. I also installed a new gas tank, new brake lines, had the front and rear bumper re-chromed, had the sail Panel emblems and rear window trim re-chromed also. I bought the correct wheels and had them blasted down and painted and bought new trim rings and new Bf Goodrich Radial T/A tires. Most Everything on this car is new. I have put about 100 miles on it since completing. $1,000.00 down payment required within 48 Hours of end of auction. Balance Due within 10 days of end of auction. The car will not be released until funds have cleared the bank. Questions call Tom 608-212-9011 ( I reserve the right to end the auction early if sold locally)

Ford Focus ST, Fiesta ST buyers to get free Octane Academy driving school
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST have created plenty of excitement in the sport compact segment, and Ford is looking to make sure that owners are driving and enjoying their cars to the best of their abilities. As an added bonus for buying one of these sporty hatchbacks, Ford will provide a complimentary ST Octane Academy session to be held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
Attendees will be responsible for travel and lodging, but Ford will provide the driving school free of charge. Included in this two-day trip, ST owners will get class instruction and driving instruction in prepped Focus ST and Fiesta ST models on the track and autocross course. Some karting action will also be involved as will a tour of Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing headquarters located nearby. If this doesn't sound like enough fun, there is also an optional day of activities that includes some more track time in a Mustang GT and off-road instruction in an F-150 SVT Raptor.
Ford told us that those who have already purchased a Focus ST or Fiesta ST will still be able to attend the performance driving school, but the press release, which is posted below, makes it sound like it applies to original owners only. Ford has yet to announce its schedule for the ST Octane Academy or prices for additional activities or guests.
Ford idling Michigan Assembly Plant to trim Focus, C-Max supply
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Ford will be putting the brakes on production at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, idling production during the weeks of October 28 and December 16. Ford is citing the first drop in US sales in 27 months, a 4.2-percent dip in September, as the impetus for trimming their supplies, according to Automotive News.
Ford's deft management of its supplies has been part of its success over the years, and seeing supplies of Focus and C-Max, the two vehicles built at MAP, rise from 58 and 108 days, respectively, to 71 and 122 days over the span of a month was apparently all that was need to justify the trimming. As AN points out, the rule of thumb for many automakers is to maintain a 60-day supply of vehicles.
"Ford has been focused on keeping their pricing in check. Their operating margin is in double digits. Nobody else is there and they're obviously very proud of that," Alan Baum, an auto analyst with Baum & Associates told AN. Keeping the supply chain operating smoothly and not increasing supplies too much is crucial to that healthy profit margin. After all, a large supply lowers prices ,which, in turn, cuts profit. So while this news might not be great for employees at MAP, who now have an extra two weeks of vacation time, it's far from a sign of problems in Dearborn. Quite the opposite, actually.
2013 Ford Mustang V6
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Secretary Trim, Evolved
There was a time not so long ago when opting for a base Ford Mustang meant getting little more than some sheetmetal, an anemic four-cylinder engine and what may very well have been the world's most disappointing automatic transmission. During the Fox Body years, Ford seemed hell-bent on living up to Carroll Shelby's derogatory description of the coupe as little more than a runabout for demure office assistants, and the result was a base model with fewer sporting intentions than a Dilbert day calendar.
Some 20 years later, hopping behind the wheel of an entry-level pony is an entirely different experience. With all of the menacing aesthetics of the brawnier GT, a well-equipped interior and a drivetrain that toes the line between efficiency and power better than few before it, the 2013 Ford Mustang V6 is an attractive option for buyers in the big coupe market. But is it attractive enough to forgo the beastly GT?
