1971 71 Ford Torino Brougham 1641 Original Miles on 2040-cars
Harrodsburg, Kentucky, United States

1971 Torino Brougham. This car is like no other you will ever find. Basically the whole car is NOS It has 1641 miles on it. Yes I said 1641 miles this car is truly museum quality. It was bought in Aug 1971 driven for a month then wrecked in the left front. It was then taken straight to a heated paint shop covered up and left for 43 years. It has never been wet so the whole underneath of the car is brand new all fitting underneath are as shiny as they were from the factory. The car also has never been in the sun so their is no sun fade anywhere on it. The motor has been stared three times since 1971 last started a month ago with ease like a brand new car. The motor has the original oil, air filter, antifreeze still in it. The only thing that has ever been done to it had the dust wiped off of it carefully. The interior is the same way absolutely perfect. The steering wheel looks like it has never been touched and the seats look like they have never been sat in. The only damage inside is on the lower dash where his left knee hit it in the wreck. The vinyl top is still in perfect condition their is a dent in the top that should pop right out. The paint would need to be redone I think because over the years as it sat in the corner, overspray from the paint shop found its way to it and the paint should look as good as the underneath and the interior. The trunk of the car is also absolutely perfect. Has all original tires and hubcaps and bumper jack. What it will need to be fixed left fender drivers door hood and grilles and bumper. I still have the drivers door so all the window hardware is their. I have always called this the Jay Leno car because of its factory condition. If this car does not sell I will be parting it out because these parts are worth a ton. I know cobra people would love to have the body and floors out of it. I hope someone gets it and puts it in a museum where it belongs. Feel free to call with any other questions.859-339-4113

Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number
Tue, 02 Sep 2014The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid
Thu, 02 May 2013No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.
Ford board OK with Mulally stepping down earlier
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's board is open to CEO Alan Mulally stepping down before his planned departure in 2014, inside sources are telling Reuters. Ford's plan of succession, aside from who would be his actual successor, has been something approaching common knowledge - the 68-year-old former Boeing exec had plans to stay through 2014. This was recently confirmed by Mulally himself on Bloomberg Television and in Automotive News.
Motivation for the about-face comes from what Reuters calls a "growing confidence" in the current crop of Ford execs, led by Mark Fields. Fields, Ford's current chief operating officer, has been tipped as Mulally's ultimate successor, although he's far from the only person with eyes on Ford's top job. Normally, Ford's board saying they're open to an executive, that's done very well for the company, stepping down early would be nearly unremarkable. It's the timing of this announcement, though, that makes this a big piece of news.
Recently, Mulally has been the subject of rumors that he's interested in taking the CEO position at tech giant Microsoft. The Redmond, Washington-based company's CEO, Steve Ballmer, told the media in August that he'd be retiring in a year's time. The fires were stoked when tech website AllThingsD speculated that Mulally would take the top spot, despite denials from the man himself. Could Ford's current boss become the new top dog at Microsoft? Will Mark Fields replace him? Could recently departed Renault exec Carlos Tavares land at Ford in some capacity?
