Up for auction is my 1971 Ford Torino 500 model, uniquely equipped. Its powered by its ORIGINAL M code, 285hp 351 4 barrel Cleveland engine backed by its original C6 transmission. The 9" rear end houses its original 3.00 geared traction lock differential. The engine runs strong and the trans shifts like it should. It has a nice cam in and a 3000 stall converter from Broader Performance. GREAT SOUNDING full length dual exhaust with Flowmaster 44's. Looking at the Marti report, it shows the car was not dealer stock order but specifically ordered with these options by a customer. Along with the drivetrain, it is equipped with power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, tinted glass, visibility group (under hood, trunk, glove box and map lamps), sport mirrors, styled steel wheels and the in dash tachometer. The interior is in good shape but could use a dash pad or a dash cap. The door panels, upholstery, headliner all in nice shape. This is a very solid car as it spent the first part of its life at the southern end of Indiana, not far from Kentucky. It has most of its life North Carolina (since early 80's). All lamps work; turn signals, brake lights, headlights, horn, wipers, windshield washer, heater fan, dash lights, tachometer, door locks, parking brake. Brake pads are at about 50% and rotors are in good shape. Car starts right and and runs/drives/stops good. No smoke, knocks or ticks. While the car has a small amount of rust at the lower rear 1/4, it is nowhere near a rust bucket. This is an EXTREMELY solid car otherwise and is VERY straight! The floors, doors, fenders, cowl, trunk, EVERYTHING is solid solid solid.. The front shock towers have NOT been torched for greasing the upper control arms which is a rare find.

The car has new window crank knobs and door lock knobs, dome lamp lens, Duralast Gold battery, reproduction battery cables, battery hold down and bolts, remanufactured correct carburetor, wiper refills in original frames, pre-bent fuel line from fuel pump to carburetor, Monroe front shocks, Cooper Cobra tires and Alpine 6x9 rear speakers. It has an older JVC cassette deck that DOES work. I do have the original shoulder belts and they go with the car along with the air conditioning compressor. The compressor is not frozen so it should be good. I have receipts and paperwork going back to the mid 80's and covering 4 different owners. The vehicle also retains its original owners manual, operators manual, warranty card, starting instructions sleeve and warrranty facts guide. It has all 5 of the styled steel wheels. Correct, new reproduction center caps for the wheels.

In addition to all of this, during the end of August and beginning of September, the engine was pulled for installation of the stall converter along with an engine bay clean and detail.

Engine - cleaned, new oil pan/timing cover/water pump/valve cover/ intake gaskets/ carburetor and a repaint. Fresh distributor (has a Pertronix conversion) and carter fuel pump. Engine has a double roller timing set. New engine harness and all new/fresh decals and markings. New valve springs and belts, fresh Motorcraft oil filter and Brad Penn oil.

Engine bay - Degreased / Powerwashed, prepped and painted with Rustoleum 7777. Everything has either been cleaned and detailed or is new. All fresh replated hardware. Concours restored wiper motor. Reproduction battery cables, radiator and heater hoses, hose clamps, decals, windshield washer pump,master cylinder cover and master cylinder mounting nuts. Alternator cleaned and painted, reproduction fan and pulley. I have pictures from engine removal, cleaning, painting right up to the finished product.

Grill Assembly - Complete grill assembly disassembled, cleaned, taped off and painted. Headlight stands/buckets disassembled, cleaned and painted.

Heater core removed, repaired (broke soldered joint for tube), flushed and pressure tested. Heater control repaired and all underhood vacuum lines for heater/AC system repaired/replaced and properly run. Heater box now functions as it should with vent/heat/de-fog and de-ice functions working properly. Blower motor works great. Great heat!

I'm sure there's a lot of things I'm forgetting and I'm always updating and making things more factory correct..

Ran 14.70 at the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race with a 4.11 locker installed. The car currently has its original 3.00 traction loc differential installed.

What next for Alan Mulally?

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

Alan Mulally has emerged as a hero when it comes to American manufacturing. He came to Ford in 2006 after serving as head of Boeing's commercial aircraft division, streamlined operations, sold off the costly elements of its Premier Automotive Group and saved Ford from having to be bailed out by the federal government like its cross-town rivals Chrysler and General Motors did. But as we reported mere days ago, he's widely expected to step down from the chief executive's office at Ford shortly.
So what's next for one of the most successful executives in the business? Hard to say, but don't expect Mulally to disappear into retirement. Though he didn't ultimately take the top job at Microsoft, industry insiders expect to see him in another influential position - likely as a board director or even chairman of another company. (We say "another company" and not Ford because while Bill Ford may have stepped aside as CEO to bring Mulally on board in the first place, we don't see him giving up his chairmanship of the board also.)
Mulally has likely already lined up his next move, and could either announce what that move will be as soon as Ford confirms Mark Fields as his successor, or could wait awhile. Insiders speculate that he could leverage his transportation and aerospace experience into a position at General Electric or a major airline, his manufacturing expertise to benefit a company like Procter & Gamble or his management skills at a consultancy firm.

Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."

Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.
