Attention all Miners, 419'ers, Astronauts on their way to the International Space Station, SEAL Team Six Members,
and Oil Platform Workers. I'd like to accommodate your needs however the timeframe to complete the sale is clear
and simple. Read and follow directions.
Don't you love the stories, or how many guys were SEAL's?!?!? I don't know we had so many!!!... Lol
The 1970 Torino was designed by Bill Schenk. His design was inspired by the supersonic aircrafts of the day that
were designed and built with a narrow waist and bulging forward and rear fuselage that was needed to reach
supersonic speeds.
This 1970 Torino is a numbers matching vehicle with the original 351 Cleveland. The VIN, Fender Tag, and Engine
Block all uniform and matching.
Yes, you are looking at THE original engine. Ask any car guy what it takes (labor hours and money) to make a
nearly half century old original engine compartment look like that... Not only does it look pretty, but it's
basically a new engine. The engine was broken down piece by piece and put back together better than it was on the
day it was delivered from Cleveland. The Cleveland was the upgrade to the 351 Windsor.
When you turn the key it sounds amazing! The dual exhaust sounds AWESOME! It has a deep, but not an obnoxious
rumble.
As far as the body is concerned... It's straighter now than in the day it was sold in 1970-71. Experienced car
guys will tell you that when these rolled down the assembly line there wasn't time for them to line up every panel
perfect, so gaps and misalignments were common. The time was taken to correct those gaps, and Steele Rubber

Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age
Thu, 17 Jul 2014In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
Meet Floyd Pullin, 102-year-old honorary president of Ford trucks [w/video]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013When we talk about trucks we often talk about how loyal truck owners are; it's men like Floyd Pullin who provide the proof. The 102-year-old man from Confluence, Pennsylvania has only owned Ford products since the 1920s, and he's done so well by Ford Trucks that the division named him honorary president for a day, not long after he took delivery of his latest ride, a 2013 F-150 STX.
That's the 16th Ford he's owned. If he bought his first when he was 16, he'd have flipped into a new car or truck about every five years. For 86 years. Not a bad run of business for either side.
Ford Trucks made a video to wish Pullin a happy birthday, which was celebrated at his local Ford dealership and was visited by a Pennsylvania state senator. You can watch it below.
