The winning bidder will receive :
A beautiful 1971 Ford Torino 500 2dr. with less than 15,000 actual miles and personally autographed by Jack Roush. This trophy winning Ford is a garage kept, rust free, turn key, ready to show and go looker with plenty of documentation including original window sticker, mileage statement, and original purchase order from The Moberly Motor Company in Missouri. This original wimbledon white ford comes with a fully detailed 302 V8, automatic, dual exhaust, factory 15" Magnum 500 Rally wheels and BF Goodrich white letters, perfect trim and chrome, an immaculent trunk area and original spare and jack, and detailed undercarriage. Blue vinyl top is original and like new. Blue interiot is all original and like new. Runs, drives and sounds great!
Note: This is "not" a wreck or rebuild! This car was bought new by a lady in 1971. It was left to her niece when she passed away at 91 years of age. Her niece kept the car in her heated and insulated garage until I purchased it. The niece verified that her "Aunt Flossie" drove this car 1/2 mile to town and 1/2 mile home everyday for 30 years. I did have it repainted the original wimbledon white in a base coat, clear coat to give it a nice deep shine. There are no dings, dents, and very, very little visible wear to the naked eye. Jack Roush personally autographed the dash for me and a framed picture comes with it. You'll also recieve with this car a personally autographed by Brian Keselowski Torino replica diecast, and a gold-chrome Talledega Torino #43 diecast, personally autographed by "The King" Richard Petty with picture of them signing. There is a small lien on this car that we will satisfy before taking possession.
Included with this car, you will receive an actual one-of-a-kind, impossible to find Martinsville Grandfather Clock Trophy won by Morgan Shepherd at Martinsville Speedway in 1979. This was given to me as a gift by Morgan Shepherd personally. With his blessing, I'm including it with this package. This is a highly coveted trophy by NASCAR drivers that stands 78" tall and 16 1/2" wide with a race winner plate and personally autographed by Morgan Shepherd. The Martinsville race has given Ridgeway grandfather clocks as trophies since 1964 and this one is an actual Gravely Furniture Company made clock. Today's clocks are made in Michigan by The Howard Miller Company. You cannot find or buy these anywhere. You can own a piece of NASCAR history that is a must have for the serious collector and can actually be more valuable than the Torino. This clock is in cherry wood finish and perfect operating condition. Morgan won this trophy clock in the Late Model Sportsman Series(now known as the Nationwide Series) the year before he won the 1980 championship.
You will also recieve a custom built Golf-Cart with graphic design of Brian Keselowski's #52 Wreaths Across America 2013 Daytona 500 race car with your company name included and personally autographed by Brian Keselowski.
Also included in this package is a season long honorary TruckerFan.com team associate sponsorship including two(2) guest passes to all Camping World Truck Series events on the 2013 schedule and any race event that rian Keselowski may be entered into the Sprint Cup Series. These passes can be offered to family, friends, employees, co-workers, company management, or clients. Your name or company name or even that special tribute will be on the race car as an associate sponsor and included on our Truckerfan.com team website throughout the year as a sponsor for additional advertisement. In the pit-area, you'll hang out with our sponsored team, meet other teams and drivers up close for pictures, autographs, and a memorable experience that lasts a lifetime and all for a great cause!
There is a reserve on this package. Our hopes is to raise enough funding to continue the Wreaths Across America awareness through our race teams and our fundriasing efforts. To feel more comfortable before you bid, you may contact our company our company at www.truckerfan.com for more information, details and additional photos. Shipping of your winning bid can also be arranged.

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
Ford cuts 950 Russian jobs on weak demand
Thu, 03 Apr 2014The Russian auto market, in decline for the past year and further hit by the declining value of the ruble and recent sanctions over its annexation of Crimea, has forced Ford to cut jobs and shifts at two of its joint venture plants there. Around 700 of the 2,700 total workers who build the Russian-market Focus and Mondeo will be cut at the plant in Vsevolozhsk, near St. Petersburg as it drops to a single production shift. A second plant about 700 miles away in Yelabuga, in the Tartarstan region, will lose 250 workers. That plant builds seven vehicles, including the Explorer, Kuga and Edge.
The Moscow Times says Ford has been especially hit by the market decline, the overall market losing 5.5 percent in 2013 compared to the year before, but Ford sales dropping 18 percent in 2013 year-on-year. This year isn't going any better, with The Blue Oval posting a 21-percent decline through the first two months of 2014. That's why, though the Yelabuga plant builds the CUVs that customers are moving into, even it is facing cuts.
The job cuts in Vsevolozhsk come on top four-week plant shutdown planned so that the paint and body shops can go to one shift. In a statement, the company said, "Ford Sollers remains absolutely committed to the Russian market and is confident it has the right product plan, people and assets to deliver long-term profitable growth."
Ford EcoSport Storm concept swallows a Raptor in Sao Paulo
Sun, 02 Nov 2014Ford rolled into the Sao Paulo Motor Show with some pretty cool crossovers in tow, the awesomest of all being the EcoSport Storm concept shown above, which draws its inspiration directly from the F-150 SVT Raptor. It packs a lower grille clearly derived from the now-famous muscle truck, as well as a Blue Storm paint job, black and silver trim, special graphics, lower body cladding and 215/75 R15 off-road tires. Don't go holding your breath for a supercharged V8, though; made locally in Brazil, India and Thailand, the tiny EcoSport is typically powered by a three- or four-cylinder engine.
The Storm isn't the only specially prepared Ecosport on show, however, joined as it is by another pair called Beauty and the Beast. Beauty is decked out in matte copper with a black roof, LED fog lamps, 18-inch wheels with low-profile tires and an interior complete with four individual bucket seats, leather upholstery and a full multimedia suite. The Beast, meanwhile, takes a sportier approach with a white pearl finish, blue and orange trim and three-bar grille. It also wears 18-inch wheels and LED fog lamps, but its interior swaps out its rear seats for a bike rack.
Joining the EcoSport show cars was an Edge crossover equipped with all the latest technologies and done up in bright red with three-bar grille, bulging hood, and an interior featuring 10-inch touchscreens and leather upholstery. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
