~Gran Torino Sport Fastback - Unmolested Survivor~





DESCRIPTION:

Selling this incredible unmolested Torino.. Car has 75,900 miles.
All the paint is original to the car.. never repaired or repainted.
(Extra cost 6F 'Gold Glow' paint..not super rare but uncommon)
Completely stock under the hood.. 351 2bbl, FMX.
A couple very small rust spots between tire and door down low..very minor.
Frame, floors, trunk, cowl, door seams, hood seams etc are all great.

Interior is amazing.. . Never cut for stereo or speakers, even the rear deck looks new.

The tires are recent but raised white letters are correct for the car.
The windshield has been replaced, the rest of the tinted glass is original and in great shape.
The only deviation from stock was the addition of a nice manifold back dual exhaust sytem.

I have not detailed anything on this car..I wanted to present it exactly as found.
Just out of 5 years storage, all I've done is correct a fuel leak at the accelerator pump housing.
I replaced the accelerator pump itself (which is also the gasket) and that cured the leak.

Car runs and drives like new.. no rattles, creaks, squeaks, shudders..just a tight smooth ride.

North Carolina car.. one owner till 1996 when he passed. Car came to New England then and at that time
it had 71,784 on it.. It's been garaged and used occasioanally for cruises and shows.. Now has 75,900 17 years later.

I have a 12 part video series detailing the car if you are interested.
Contact me for YouTube links to the videos.

Known issues:
AC compressor turns freely, and turns on when called for but does not blow ice cold.
Temp gauge not working, including new sender/sensor with car.

Car is a blast to drive, very tight with no rattles or squeaks, responsive throttle, smooth ride.
Turns heads everywhere it goes, you just don't see the fastbacks much anymore.

I’ve included many pictures to help judge condition..but trust me, this is a great find
This car will walk away with survivor class trophies at car shows, its unmolested and fantastic.

There have been, and currently are several nice 72/73 GTS Torinos for sale here on ebay, however not
one of them is an original paint survivor car like this one. This car has nothing to hide, and is the nicest
unrestored Gran Torino Sport I've seen in many years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Had some requests for more pictures, so here are more pictures..

First, some under car shots.
I have no lift so I had to just hold the iPhone under the car and take a few angles.

This is the passenger side front floor area and transmission crossmember:


.

This is looking under the rear at the gas tank and 9" rear end:


.

This is up under the rear and shows the frame meeting the bumper support area:


.

This is the same view from further back to show the gas tank straps and mounting area:


.

Here's the rear frame rail on the drivers side:


<[> .

Here is the fuel filler behind the license plate:


.

I'm including the 1973 Torino sales brochure and the owners manual (note last time registered was 2008):


.

The 'Sport' page from the brochure and one of the manual pages as well:


.

I'm also including the carb rebuild kit (I only used the accelerator pump when it came out of storage)
The rest of the carb is fine and did not need rebuilding, but this may come in handy in the future.
The small red box is the new temperature sender / sensor I am including as well.


.

Again, thanks for all the interest. I've had several good offers on the car but now that the reserve is met, the auction
will run its course and the high bidder at that time will win this fantastic Torino.
(and whoever that ends up being, will be VERY happy~!

Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.

How the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor became a reality

Wed, 01 May 2013

The camouflaged Ford F-150 SVT Raptor prototype captured above blazing its way across the desert during a test run left company engineers giggling in amazement, reveals Jamal Hameedi in a new Autoweek video. Ford's global performance vehicle chief engineer, accompanied by senior exterior designer Bruce Williams, sat down with the publication to discuss the concept and development of the automaker's super off-road F-150.
Designing a high-performance pickup in 2008, right when the cost of gasoline was going through the roof, seemed insane at the time, but the team pushed forward with the innovative vehicle regardless. The interview includes plenty of Ford B-roll footage as visual candy, and the conversations include discussions about exterior design, ride comfort, anti-lock brake tuning, suspension engineering, weight reduction and why it was necessary to make the Raptor visually different than Ford's standard F-150. The model's origin story is very interesting, and you can learn more about it by watching the video below.

Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
