You are looking at a 1970 Ford Torino Hardtop that is a very solid rolling project car. This car would make for a very simple re-power with your drivetrain from your rusty or wrecked donor car!

This car is done in Hot Rod Black with a White Interior currently, but originally was Q-code Medium Metallic Blue with a Blue Interior.

I bought this car specifically for the 428 Cobra Jet engine and transmission that were in it. Somewhere along the line a date coded 428CJ and CJ C6 found its way into this car and I had a Cobra Jet car in need of a dated drivetrain so I bought this car just to pirate the engine and trans out of.

It is an original F-code 302-2V, C-4 automatic car, there is now a 9 inch Rear underneath with a Traction-Lok in it that works well. Before pulling the 428CJ out of this car I did a few launches and this thing layed down 2 legs like nobody's business!!

At some point a previous owner put a complete and decent 71 Torino GT White Comfortweave Bucket Seat interior in the car including the Console and Floor Shift Steering column. It is a very decent 'driver' interior!

The Hood from the GT car also managed to finds its way over to this car.

Car has some rust in the front floors up near the toe board, but is not terrible and the rest of the underneath to include floors, frame rails, etc are very solid!! The hood, fenders, doors, 1/4's and decklid are also solid as well. The left quarter panel was replaced many years ago with a NEW Ford panel and the right 1/4 had a small metal repair done down at the very bottom of it. The trunk drops have a little bit of rust; but are not terrible. Car also has a little bit of rust in the engine bay near the wiper motor; it is minor but I felt it worth mentioning. Overall this is a pretty solid project car(See Pics)!!

Prior to me removing the engine and trans this was a tagged insured driver not some sort of car that had been laying out in the pasture. This car was a driver and could be again with a minimum of time and investment.

If you have a rusty or wrecked car that has a good drivetrain this car could be for you as it is a solid platform to your build on or if you are looking for a home for that motor you had built that is just sitting waiting for the right engine bay to be dropped into then look no further!!!

This is a Solid car that with a reasonable price where someone could end up making themselves a cool hot rod driver for short money.

I have pulled all of the speed equipment (MSD, Fuel Regulator, Shift Light, etc) and the Aluminum wheels off the car since these pics were taken and it is being sold with a set of roller wheels on it.

If the winning bidder was interested I do have some wheel and tires available as extra cost either American Racing Outlaw Aluminum wheels or Magnum 500's. I also have some drivetrain options available should you be interested including a good running 5.0 Roller Motor and AOD.

This car is a solid rolling project for someone who is looking to put a little sweat equity into a vehicle and end up having a have cool cruiser with a very limited investment. If you look at the sum of just the parts on this car; (i.e. Complete 9 inch Traction-Lok rear end, Complete GT interior with Bucket Seats, Floor console and Floor Shift Steering Column, Solid Original GT Scooped hood) the big ticket items are worth what the price of the whole car is. This car is a great entry level Hot Rod that won't break the bank!!

Please look at the pictures and ask any questions BEFORE you bid!! I want you to be sure of what you are bidding on and for us both to be satisfied with the Torino's described condition and its sale. I expect a deposit within 24 hours of auctions end and balance of payment within 7 days of auction end.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Watch NASCAR racer Brad Keselowski do a burnout... in a hotel conference room

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

A vast majority of hotels frown upon smoking inside the building these days, but Brad Keselowski doesn't follow the rules. During his introduction at the 2013 MiilerCoors Distribution Convention, the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion smoked the tires of his Miller-sponsored Ford Fusion stock car, adding a pair of thick, black stripes to the carpeting of the Marriott World Center's conference room.
This definitely isn't a high-quality video, but it's the perfect vantage point to watch Keselowski lay down some rubber and receive a well-deserved standing ovation after pulling up in front of the crowd. Check out the short-but-sweet video posted below.

Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.
