"RARE 69 Black Cobra"
This #Matching 1 of 165 R Code Raven Black 428 7.0L Cobra-Jet looks about as nice as any street-driven Torino we have ever seen. The color, year, Sport-Roof body style, wheels, and photo staging stopped us in our tracks. This Torino could make us forget about Mustangs for a long time.
Raven Black suits this car perfectly. If it was dark green it would seem like an Bullitt car, This color is where it is at, and our standard Torque-Thrust continues. They look perfect here, and the seller even offers photos of the larger polished version and stock Rally wheels to prove our point. The wheel package shown here is original
The Black interior w/ Buckets Seats works. 4 Speed close Ratio Manual Transmission with Stock 3.50 conventional rear gears is as good as it gets especially given the size of the engine. With this powerplant we are thinking more tire smoke than winding corners. The engine is Rare with Original 428 Cobra Jet and is beautiful and so are the details on the Marti Report.
Close Ratio:
1st 2.32:1
2nd 1.69:1
3rd 1.29:1
4th 1.00:1 (Straight Drive)

This is a fantastic looking car and one whose value isn't so silly that it can't be driven. It is worthy of shows but would also be a blast a grudge night or a long road trip. Drive it to Carlisle. Drive it to SAAC meets. Drive it on vacation. Drive it to hot rod events. The car would be a versatile talking point wherever you go...

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.
Amid Mulally rumors, Bill Ford praises company's deep bench
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Bill Ford went on the offensive to combat the rumors that CEO Alan Mulally would leave Dearborn for Steve Ballmer's vacated position leading Microsoft, adding that even if the 68-year-old, former Boeing exec were to depart, the Ford executive team is in a good place.
"I'm happy [Mulally] is going to stick around. But we also feel really good about where we are in terms of succession," Ford told Bloomberg TV, according to Automotive News. Rumors first cropped up about Mulally leaving Ford when AllThingsD speculated that he was in the running, early last month. In that same report, which you can read here, Ford's board of directors reportedly okayed the CEO stepping down ahead of his planned retirement in 2014.
That opened the floodgates, culminating in a report from a few days ago that the rumors over Ballmer's successor just might be true. The story is especially troubling, as Ford hasn't had Mulally under contract, according to AN. "He's here as long as he and I would like it to happen," Ford said, "We're also cognizant of training the next generation and getting them ready to go as well."
