Up for Sale is my own personal Mach 1 429 Cobra Jet. Ive owned this vehicle since 1988. When I bought the mustang it was in rough condition. Since Ive owned it, I replaced with all OEM parts which included front fenders, 2 rust free doors, new quarter panels, and inter wheel wells. The interior was in bad shape. I had parts cars at the time and used various parts on this car. It originally had medium ginger interior and I had a complete black interior that used instead. The car was repainted back in 1990 with Dupont base coat clear coat paint. The undercarriage has never been touched. It has undercoating sprayed on it. The car is rust free. The engine and drive line are matching numbers, the engine was overhauled back when I restored it. I added: tilt wheel and rear window defrost. The rims are starting to get a little rust on them from sitting. Tires are good. Drives and runs good. Marti report (attached) is included in the sale. NOTE on Marti report that this was a TEST VEHICLE which makes this rare. The rear-end has 3.91 gears right now instead of 3.50 it came with. The carburetor is not the original one but it is a quaderjet carb from a Torino.

eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype

Wed, 08 May 2013

Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.

Toyota sells six of 10 of hybrids in California

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

In an apparent shot back at Ford's increasing market share of electrified vehicles and claim that it accepts more Prius trade-ins for its own hybrids than any other car, Toyota has flexed a muscle and played the numbers game to put the Blue Oval in its place.
Leaning on its hybrid market dominance in California, the Japanese automaker stated that six out of 10 hybrids sold in the Golden State are Toyota models. And it keeps coming: Year-to-date through May 2013, Toyota sold five times more hybrids than Ford. One of every two hybrids in California is a Prius model. In addition, Toyota notes that it has sold 1.5 million Prius vehicles in the US, 90-percent of which are still on the road today.
Want more? We'll let Bill Fay, Toyota's group vice president and general manager of sales lay the smack down:
