Project 1968 Torino Gt Formal Roof on 2040-cars
Cordova, Tennessee, United States
|
You are bidding on my 1968 Torino GT 2 door Hard Top project car. It started life as a small block automatic. Candy Apple Red factory color. I have upgraded the drivetrain to include a 390 8V with comp cam, lifters and timing gear, hardened pushrods, factory ford 8v dual quad intake, Holley 3310's, Hooker Headers, 14 bolt poor mans GT heads, Aluminum radiator, electric fan, Cobra air cleaner and valve covers, Aluminum racing flywheel, Hays HD Clutch, Tilton clutch cylinder, pull type hydraulic clutch, Flow Master 3" mufflers and pipes exiting in front of 9" ford with 4:11 posi gears, Transmission is a World Class T5 with an adapter plate to mate to a factory bell housing. I was planning on running a factory CJ top loader but the cost is a bit high and do not want to spend the money however the car is set up to do this just a new driveshaft if this is the way you want to go. I have replaced the entire front end suspension, still running drums all around but there are kits to upgrade to all discs and still use the factory GT 14"rims which look great as a sleeper/stock rim. All new Firestone Indy rubber including the spare, Body is solid with some repairs made to the floor pan, Leather power seats front and rear from an Audi which are very comfortable. All together this is a solid project car for the right person. Just ran out of budget and interest is flowing to other projects however if money was available discs, a top loader, and body completion was my direction. I have a clean title, a very low reserve however if the high bidder is close I will let it go if it does not meet the reserve. Best of luck and Happy Bidding. I can provide more pics upon request. |

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, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.
Bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta hams it up for International Bacon Day
Wed, 28 Aug 2013This is a bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta. It is a real thing, that a real, multi-billion-dollar company designed. And it isn't even April Fools' Day. Designed for International Bacon Day, which is also apparently a thing, the 2014 Fiesta is finished in Green Envy paint - we're told black paint, like the color of a skillet, made the car look camouflaged - and features 10 gigantic decals depicting strips of tender, cured bacon.
The design, which was approved by the CEO of Benton's Country Hams, Allan Benton, show off the depth of Ford's Custom Graphics program. Unbelievably, Ford will actually start offering bacon decals to everyday customers, including (and we can't believe we're writing this) dual bacon racing stripes which will no doubt have Carroll Shelby spinning and/or salivating in his grave, and a "side of bacon," which wraps a couple of strips over the rear wheels.
Benton, who Ford claims is the King of Bacon, had this to say: "This car just makes so much sense." The Fiesta's marketing manager, Liz Elser added, "It's just awesome to drive down the road in a piece of bacon."
