1969 Ford Torino Gt Convertible, All Original, 351 Windsor V8, Matching Numbers on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
Offered for your consideration is this 1969 FORD TORINO GT CONVERTIBLE. This original car is an all numbers matching vehicle with only 87,XXX original miles. The engine is the 351 5.8L Windsor V8 with factory 4 barrel carb. This motor runs great, doesn't smoke, and starts right up with the first turn of the key (even cold). The three speed factory automatic transmission is in great shape and shifts perfectly. As seen in my photo's the paint is original and the body does need some work with having some rust and a couple of light dents. The interior is all original and in very nice shape having absolutely NO holes or rips. The dash is nice and all gauges work as they should and the hood mounted blinker indicators work too. The floor boards and trunks are completely solid and in original condition. The under carriage and frame are solid (scale is a little flaky). Does need a new soft top but the frame is in good shape.
The Torino had only 2 owners and was bought new here in Saint Louis at a Ford dealer in 1969 then traded in and resold in 1970 here in Saint Louis out of Barton Pontiac (the car has that dealer sticker still) and that owner has had it all that time (see pic's for title). This car is a joy to drive in it's current condition and mechanically sound. She really only need attention to her body to be perfect again!!! CALL JASON 314-771-8811 |

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA
Tue, 04 Nov 2014As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.
Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
