Here is one eye popping 1971 Torino GT convertible that stops people in their tracks. Only 1613 GT convertibles were made in 71 which makes them very rare and collectible today. This beauty is 1 of only 31 made with this paint and trim combination of bright red and Vermillion bucket seat interior. It's probably the only original one left on the planet. If you want a GT convertible this incredible Arizona beauty is the one you want. A Deluxe Marti Report documents the build, which is included.
The car is in excellent condition having been in Arizona from 1971 until 2000. It was restored in the midwest between 2002 and 2010 and then brought back home to Scottsdale soon after that. The paint work is stunning having been cut and buffed to a glass like finish. There are zero issues with the paint. All the jambs and inside the trunk look original and are nice. No signs of filler are present, Undercarraige looks original and nice and solid. .All the trim and chrome is excellent along with all the rubber and crystal clear glass and a perfect white power top with glass window. The laser stripes are perfect also. All the gaps are right on and doors, hood and trunk shut perfect. Five Magnum 5oo's with excellent Firestone rubber. The spare has never been on the ground. Under hood and trunk are fully detailed and complete.
Motor is the original rebuilt 351 Cleveland 2bbl with a Select Shift C4 automatic transmission. Motor and trans run and shift nicely as expected. Included is a thick folder documenting all the replacement parts and service performed over the years. Basically everything mechanical has been addressed over time and parts replaced as needed. This is a power steering, power disc brake car with cold air conditioning and tinted glass. Everything works except the radio and the high blower fan position. Even the headlight warning buzzer works,
The interior has been preserved beautifully. There is only a minor wear spot on the driver's seat lower bolster that is not even an issue and can be touched up easily. Door and quarter panels are outstanding along with the dash and console and shifter. . The original factory boot is nice also. Carpet and floor mats are perfect. All window regulators and door locks work flawlessly. This orange interior shown outside in the sun is a knockout.

Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
The 2015 Ford Mustang is not so mellow in yellow
Tue, 14 Jan 2014When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
2014 Ford F-150 gets CNG option
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Ford is toiling away, installing heavy-duty engine components into select 3.7-liter V6s to allow them to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in addition to gasoline. That's nothing new, but now, Ford has announced that it will offer the 2014 F-150 with this engine configuration, bringing the Blue Oval's total number of CNG/LPG-friendly vehicles up to eight. The F-150 will be the only half-ton pickup on the market that can run on these gases.
Ford will charge $315 per vehicle to equip the optional engine, but the trucks won't be ready to run on the alternative fuels straight from the factory and must be upfitted with additional equipment. A Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier will install a separate fuel system for the compressed gases at a cost of $7,500 to $9,500, depending on fuel tank size. With the right-size tank, the F-150 equipped with the CNG/LPG-prepped engine can go 750 miles on one tank of gas, according to Ford, averaging 23 miles per gallon.
The practice of offering flex-fuel vehicles is gaining momentum as businesses take advantage of cheap gas. CNG can be bought for $2.11/gallon on average (per gasoline equivalent), and sometimes for as little as $1.00 in some parts of the US, Ford states. "With the money saved using CNG, customers could start to see payback on their investment in as little as 24 to 36 months," says Jon Coleman, Ford's fleet sustainability and technology manager. The automaker expects to sell a total of 15,000 CNG/LPG-prepped vehicles in the 2014 model year.
