Ford Torino 351 Windsor V8 1974

Allmän beskrivning : 351W V8, 3SPD AUTO, PWR STEER & BRAKE, LOW ACTL MILE, SURVIVOR, RETRO CRUISER!

This is a true car of distinction. The 1974 Ford Gran Torino Elite was introduced as a personal luxury coupe with its own character, and you instantly know it, because this example is so correctly preserved and presented.
1974 was the year we were introduced to the Starsky and Hutch Gran Torino. But this one goes in a much different direction, and you can tell that from the moment it comes into view. The single headlight fascia is unique to the Elite model that was introduced this year. It gives the coupe an instant distinction that we don't see too often today. So we bet you'll get plenty of people asking, "Hey, what's that car?" As the top-dog in the Gran Torino lineup, this one costs more in 1974 than some of Ford's full-sized offerings. And that's because it's a premium coupe that was taking aim at cars like the Chevy's Monte Carlo. You see it in the luxury details like the bronze metallic paint. This is mostly factory-original, and so you can see how deep the factory shine was on this well-preserved example. This is from the '70s, so there's plenty of premium earthones to coordinate with the paint on everything from the trim line rub strips to the vinyl roof. And we know you love those premium turbine-style factory wheel covers.
Inside, you'll be hard pressed to find anything that isn't original or in stellar condition. This car was well-cared for, and so you'll love taking family and friends for a drive. In fact, while this was Ford's intermediate offering, in today's world, that means plenty of room to carry everyone in comfort. But even if you're just out for a solo cruise, this Gran Torino Elite is the right choice. As a personal luxury machine, all the controls wrap around the driver, including the original AM/FM stereo and provisions for factory air conditioning. The dual-spoke steering wheel has that perfect feeling or originality, and it gives you a commanding view of the sporty five-dial round gauge panel.
Ford's legendary 351 cubic-inch V8 provides plenty of power for the coupe. It looks quite right with the bold blue air topper hovering above the correct blue block. With such a correct presentation, right down to the factory decals, we suspect this to be the original motor. In fact, the only major replaced components we're aware of are the gas tank, fuel pump, and dual exhaust (all the pieces you'd want to keep this a reliable cruising classic.) The V8 power means effortless torque at any speed and the kind of pulling power that defined luxury in the '70s. It floats down the road like a good 70s machine should, and with a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes, Ford's Elite coupe a breeze to drive.
Complete with owner's manual, you're looking at the kind of classic luxury machine that doesn't get seen very often any more. So with a presentation this nice, and a price this low, you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call now!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.
