1971 71 Ford Torino Brougham 1641 Original Miles on 2040-cars
Harrodsburg, Kentucky, United States
1971 Torino Brougham. This car is like no other you will ever find. Basically the whole car is NOS It has 1641 miles on it. Yes I said 1641 miles this car is truly museum quality. It was bought in Aug 1971 driven for a month then wrecked in the left front. It was then taken straight to a heated paint shop covered up and left for 43 years. It has never been wet so the whole underneath of the car is brand new all fitting underneath are as shiny as they were from the factory. The car also has never been in the sun so their is no sun fade anywhere on it. The motor has been stared three times since 1971 last started a month ago with ease like a brand new car. The motor has the original oil, air filter, antifreeze still in it. The only thing that has ever been done to it had the dust wiped off of it carefully. The interior is the same way absolutely perfect. The steering wheel looks like it has never been touched and the seats look like they have never been sat in. The only damage inside is on the lower dash where his left knee hit it in the wreck. The vinyl top is still in perfect condition their is a dent in the top that should pop right out. The paint would need to be redone I think because over the years as it sat in the corner, overspray from the paint shop found its way to it and the paint should look as good as the underneath and the interior. The trunk of the car is also absolutely perfect. Has all original tires and hubcaps and bumper jack. What it will need to be fixed left fender drivers door hood and grilles and bumper. I still have the drivers door so all the window hardware is their. I have always called this the Jay Leno car because of its factory condition. If this car does not sell I will be parting it out because these parts are worth a ton. I know cobra people would love to have the body and floors out of it. I hope someone gets it and puts it in a museum where it belongs. Feel free to call with any other questions.859-339-4113

EPA says fuel economy test for hybrids is accurate
Mon, 26 Aug 2013
The EPA says it stands behind its fuel economy test for hybrid vehicles following controversy about the testing process after Ford C-Max Hybrid customers and automotive journalists alike struggled to achieve 47 miles per gallon, the advertised mpg number, Automotive News reports. Ford responded to the issue almost two weeks ago by claiming that a 1970s-era EPA general label rule was responsible for the inaccurate mileage numbers, rerating the C-Max Hybrid's mpg numbers and offering customers rebates. Ford later said it didn't overstate the C-Max Hybrid's fuel economy and that it was surprised by the low numbers.
Ford technically didn't do anything wrong because it was following the general label rule, but agency regulator Christopher Grundler says the automaker was exploiting a loophole when it came up with the hybrid C-Max numbers, and that the testing process remains accurate. The general label rule allows vehicles that use the same engine and transmission and are in the same weight class to share fuel economy numbers, but it doesn't take into account other factors such as aerodynamic efficiency, which affects hybrids more drastically than non-hybrid vehicles. Ford originally used the Fusion Hybrid economy figures for the C-Max Hybrid and claimed the engineers didn't realize that its aerodynamic efficiency would affect fuel economy as much as it did.
Next Ford Mustang to drop 400 pounds
Thu, 15 Aug 2013The Ford Mustang is already the lightest of the current crop of muscle cars, at around 3,600 pounds for a GT coupe with the six-speed manual transmission. That's almost 260 pounds less than a Chevrolet Camaro SS and about 450 pounds less than a Dodge Challenger R/T, which means the Mustang has a pretty big advantage when it comes to handling, braking, accelerating and economy. More good news: The next Mustang will be even lighter.
According to a report from Edmunds, the sixth-generation Mustang, which is set to debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, will shed an additional 400 pounds of body fat. That 11-percent weight reduction will be thanks to lightweight materials, with a particular focus on using stronger, but less material in construction. Aluminum will feature heavily, but Edmunds' inside source warns that there is "nothing terribly exotic" coming to the original pony car.
The other big news is that the new Mustang will be smaller overall. It's going to be 15-inches shorter than the 188.5-inch Mustang on sale today, while it'll also be 6.5 inches narrower. Shorter overhangs, both in the front and rear, are also good signs for those that want an agile Mustang.
Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion
Thu, 30 Oct 2014After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
