1970 Ford Torino Gt 351 Cleveland 4 Bll on 2040-cars
New Baden, Illinois, United States
|
This 1970 torino GT was a theift recovery from a chop shop in new york years ago and it has a replacement vin so we have no idea what it started life as, however it has a really good running 351 cleveland 4 bll motor with a nasty cam, real nice headers and a bit of a stahl converter, an a firm shifting c6 auto and a low gear posi rear, and power disk brakes up front. I think it is like 4.30 or something. I drove this car before it was taken apart for restoration , and it will burn the tires at will. Very good brakes and the front end is tight. Full set of magnum 500s with rings and caps. I am a mopar guy with no idea about these fords. My younger brother and his friend bought this car with intentions of restoring it , then they moved out of state and sold it to me, as I had one like this as a kid and I have the ability to restore cars. My wife saw this car and said no way. I had already paid for it so It is now for sale. The buy it now is what I paid for it. The engine alone is worth that. I build torque converters and this one Is nice. The car has had rust in all of the usual places but the floor pans have patch panels have been replaced, as was the drivers lower quarter. Frame rails are good except drivers rear just before the bumper and the drip rail around the trunk is rotten as well as the tail panel needs replaced. Some small holes here and there in trunk floor and previous repairs on floor pan. top, doors and finders are very nice. It has a near perfect gril and nice bumpers. Trunk spoiler, honeycomb tail light panel and a real nice GT hood. The only parts missing are the windshield , and the rear seats. The front bench needs recovered. This is a real cool car that needs to be put back on the road. The original color was dark green. I can deliver in an inclosed trailer for a fee. Comes with new black carpet and headliner . Thanks Chris 314-359-9600

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going
Tue, 13 May 2014Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.
2015 Ford C-Max gets a corporate nose job [w/video]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Ford might not have the splashiest booth here at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, but the automaker is showing off quite a bit of hardware that will actually end up on roads across Europe. Parisians are no doubt tickled at getting to see the specifications of the Mustang tuned for The Continent (which has a revised suspension for European roads, and a few visual nips and tucks), in addition to the revised face of the family-friendly C-Max.
As you can see, C-Max styling has been revisited with a deft touch, grafting Ford's six-sided corporate grille on the nose, in place of the outgoing car's two-part affair. New headlights can also be found on the car's revised front fascia, though the rear end of the C-Max looks only slightly different than the current version.
Inside the cabin, Ford has consolidated controls and upped the ante in terms of material quality, with "black satin" and chrome details and more storage capacity, overall. Grocery-lugging moms and dads everywhere should appreciate the hands-free liftgate feature, as well.
