1971 Ford Torino 500 5.0l on 2040-cars
|
Here is your chance to own a beautiful 1971 Ford Torino 500 2 door hardtop numbers matching car with only 23,842 original miles..... This car is litterally a beautiful car with minimal milage. The only changes to the car were the addition of dual exhaust a tachometer, clock, and an FM converter, as well as the installation of a battery tender on the inside fender well. This is the original paint,original trim original everything actually ( newer Rubber on rims). It has the 5 liter 302 2v with automatic trans on the column, interior is perfect and very sweet with minor seat stitching pulling a little on the driver side as you can note from the photos. We've had quite a bit of crappy weather this winter, but I was able to get the car pulled out of the garage last week on a sunny ( but cold ) day to take these photos. Hopefully this week I can get it out a little farther to take some better, more detailed photos, but the lawn is pretty saturated from all of the snow melting, and I really do not want to get it on the lawn to get the tires all muddy.
The lines of this car as you can note are very straight and factory correct, all of the chrome, badging and top are correct and very clean. The motor and trans/& rear leaks no oil, neither does it burn oil. This car runs GREAT, sounds great, and turns heads for sure. Tires, rims, caps and shrouds are all color correct and matching to this particular car, this is factory paint guys, really really nice yet. The trunk has the correct original jack, stand and lug wrench, as well as a new liner, however I am thinking that it is not the factory correct trunk liner. This is truly an "UNMOLESTED" car with low low milage, so if your in the market for something nice and original, you've found it. I am moving next week and expect to have some delays in getting the internet up and running again due to being overly busy at work, for those of you who want to reply through e-bay, bare with me as I will be working from my i-phone... Those who prefer a more direct contact, just feel free to call me at: 484-239-9564 ( Scott ) If I do not pick up your call, it is because I am a concreter contractor and more than likely on equipment or pouring concrete, just leave a message and I will get back to you promptly. thanks, and good luck bidding. |

Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.
Toyota sells six of 10 of hybrids in California
Wed, 31 Jul 2013In an apparent shot back at Ford's increasing market share of electrified vehicles and claim that it accepts more Prius trade-ins for its own hybrids than any other car, Toyota has flexed a muscle and played the numbers game to put the Blue Oval in its place.
Leaning on its hybrid market dominance in California, the Japanese automaker stated that six out of 10 hybrids sold in the Golden State are Toyota models. And it keeps coming: Year-to-date through May 2013, Toyota sold five times more hybrids than Ford. One of every two hybrids in California is a Prius model. In addition, Toyota notes that it has sold 1.5 million Prius vehicles in the US, 90-percent of which are still on the road today.
Want more? We'll let Bill Fay, Toyota's group vice president and general manager of sales lay the smack down:
Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue
Tue, 28 May 2013According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."
