1970 Torino GT Convertible, original 302 engine and automatic transmission in good running and driving condition. The car is currently a 'semi-daily' driver, being driven as often as possible on decent days. The original 302 engine has been upgraded with an aluminum 4v intake and Edelbrock carburetor for increased performance; otherwise stock. The engine smokes a bit on start-up, and that goes away when it's warm... the valve stem seals almost certainly are the culprit. Not an issue if you don't mind putting a quart in every few thousand miles. It runs and drives extremely well, smooth acceleration, proper strong shifts, new brakes. The wheels are 2007 Ford GT wheels and the tires are new, too.

The body has some minor dings and scratches but is overall very straight with only very minor rust bubbles showing in one quarter panel as pictured; it just under the paint and not through the metal. The undercarriage is clean and rust-free. The chrome and trim is in very good condition. The original color was Grabber Green, which is a great-looking and rare color for this car. The current paint is sound and shiny; what might be called a "20-footer" or so. Glass is good all around, and all windows roll up and down as they should. All the lights, turn signals, heater, gauges, etc. work. Again, it's a car you could use as a daily driver as-is.

The top is white and was replaced two years ago; still in great condition. The power mechanism works as it should. Power steering, power brakes as well. The power steering has a leaky hose or fitting that should be addressed at some point.

Clear title with no brands or issues. I have priced the car MORE than fairly; someone is going to get a great car for a very fair price.

While every effort is being made to describe the car as accurately as possible, it is over forty years old and being sold as-is without warranty expressed or implied. Feel free to call me at 360-936-9257 to discuss anything you wish. Zero-feedback bidders NEED to contact me prior to bidding, please. Shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer, and I will make myself available to your carrier for pick-up and loading. A deposit of $1,000.00 is due within 48 hours of auction end, with the balance by cash, bank wire transfer, or certified major bank cashier's check that I can verify and wait until cleared before shipping.

On Jan-31-13 at 19:13:27 PST, seller added the following information:

I have been asked about the ride height in the rear... I had a 2" lowering block kit on the car when these pictures were taken; I found I preferred the stock ride height and removed the blocks; it is back in "factory"/stock configuration now.

Enterprise working with renter's insurance to cover $47k Mustang stolen from its lot

Sat, 11 Jan 2014

There was more than a bit of public indigence following the recent story of Enterprise Rent-A-Car billing a customer $47,000 to replace a Ford Mustang GT Convertible stolen from a Nova Scotia lot. To recap: Kristen Cockerill rented the Mustang for two days, returned it to the lot on a Sunday and left the keys in a secure dropbox only for Enterprise employees to find the car gone the next day.
Despite Enterprise policies stating that customers are responsible for vehicles dropped on off-days, the company has admitted that the situation could've been handled a bit better.
In a recent statement, Enterprise has backed off the big-bill story, and claims to be working with Cockerill and her insurance company to resolve the issue. Further, the Enterprise general manager overseeing Nova Scotia has spoken with the harried renter, and apologized "for the way this claim was handled during the last few months."

Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going

Tue, 13 May 2014

Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
