Being offered up for your consideration is a 1968 Ford Torino GT, 2dr Formal Hardtop. According to the original door tag, this car came with the rare 390ci 2v, C6 automatic transmission, was medium aqua metallic, light aqua vinyl interior, built May 28th in Atlanta, GA, has 2:75 tail gears and was sent to Los Angles. The third and forth numbers in the vin, 44, stand for 2dr formal hardtop with bucket seats. As you can see in my pictures it has a bench seat. Unknown what happened with the bucket seats. The fifth letter, Y, is the code for the 390ci V8 with a 2v carburetor. The title does match the door tag making this a very rare 68 Torino. This Torino also came equipped with power brakes and rare factory AC.

This car is an unfinished project that needs to be completed. A lot of time and dollars have already been put into this car. The 390 was missing so it was replaced with a very strong rebuilt 351C and C6 automatic trans. The Torino does run and drive but should be trailered to its new home. All 4 tires are new. The seats, carpet and headliner are new along with a set of uninstalled door panels. The paint is really nice but not perfect. It will need some touch up after the car has been completed. This is a solid southern California / Arizona car and I wish I could tell you that all the parts needed to finish this car come with it, they don't. It is missing several trim items that you will need to find. I tried to picture most of them. One GT center cap also is dented.

This car is being sold "AS IS" with no warrantee expressed or implied

Shelby GT500 laps N"urburgring in under 7:40?

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

A couple of weeks ago we brought you footage and official times of the new Chevy Camaro Z/28 lapping the Nürburgring. With a 7:37.47 lap time, the Z/28 emerged as the fastest muscle car ever to lap the circuit. But what was missing from that picture was how fast the king of all Mustangs, the Shelby GT500, could manage to lap the Nordschleife.
Ford never released any information or footage of the GT500 on the Nürburgring that we were aware of - that is, until the guys at SVTPerformance.com put in a request for Mustang videos. Among the clips they received was never-seen, in-car footage of the Shelby GT500 lapping the circuit. And boy did it hustle.
Although not quite official, the video seems to show the GT500 lapped the venerated German track in a touch under 7:40. That would make it a tick or two faster than the Camaro ZL1 - but what of the Z/28? By Chevy's quoted time, the Z/28 is still faster than the GT500, but SVTPerformance suggests GM may have fudged the numbers a bit and scrubbed half a second or so off their lap time.

USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.
