 1971 Torino Cobra in the rare Silver(Light Pewter) with Vermillion(Red) interior. There were only 21 Cobras made with this color combo and it is stunning! This car is very well optioned with a 351C 4V engine, C6 automatic transmission, Shaker ram air, p/s, pdb, bucket seats, console, factory tachometer(works great) and 15" magnum wheels, all original! This car is very close to being absolutely stock, the only thing I know that is incorrect is the carburetor and distributor. The car still has the original Shaker hold down bracket, the original heat shield is still on the exhaust manifold. The car has had one repaint and the color is slightly off from the door jamb, the jamb is still has the original paint, the door sticker still looks new also. The body has only very minor rust, the floors look very solid as does the trunk. The lower qtr panels have some very minor pinholes showing and some of the door corners(see pics), all very minor. I have been driving this car daily and I love it, this car has not been screwed with and drives very tight and quiet. The engine and trans are very clean and look to have been worked on not many miles ago. The engine does have some typical Cleveland valve train noise but it is not really loud and hard to notice when driving the car. I have put several hundred miles on the car and it has not used any oil. The transmission has obviously received some work as it shifts nice and firm, anything over about 1/2 throttle and you are going to chirp the tire into second! The doors on this car open and shut very well, also there is no cracking around the door latches like you typically see on the these cars. The interior is quite presentable for an original but does have a crack in the dash pad like normal, the headliner will need to be replaced also. The front seats will need a few panels repaired but since the original comfort weave material is nice that is all I would do. The seams came apart on three of the lowers and there is a tear next to your left lower back. The rear seat is quite nice. The paint, while presentable for a driver is not perfect, it is a 10 footer with some bumps and scratches from normal use. I like it like this as it is a guilt free driver. If you have any questions and are a serious buyer give me a call at 425-308-0802 and we can discuss the car in detail.

New car market raining on convertibles' parade

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars

Tue, 20 Nov 2012

Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.

Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007

Sat, 21 Sep 2013

Even as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels.
Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche.
This year alone, General Motors has completely redesigned its fullsize trucks, Ram and Toyota have significantly updated their offerings, the next-gen Ford F-150 will be out next year and Nissan is promising an all-new Titan around the same time with an eventual Cummins diesel under the hood. It would seem, then, that truck sales are poised to continue their upward trend.
