A 115-bhp 200-cid six was standard for all but the Torino GT convertible, hardtop coupe, and new fastback hardtop (all duplicated in the 500 line), which came with the 210-bhp 302-cid V-8 as well as buckets-and-console interior, pinstriping, and more performance options than a s...
A scratch is also pointed out on the left front fender. Polished aluminum 14″ disc wheels are mounted with 195/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The front and rear suspension is said to have been refreshed under previous ownership. Replacement white vinyl seat upholstery features tan cloth ...
The idea of jockeying to offer the biggest smaller car seems more than a little absurd, but the equation of size and value was (and remains) deeply ingrained in the American psyche. That went for engines, as well as the cars themselves. Pontiac had upped the ante in 1964 with the big...
GT, or Cobra trim. The seller’s car is a GT that once had a J-Code 429 cubic inch V8 under the hood. Sadly, that firebreather has been replaced by what may be a 302 or 351. It’s had the
“grab” market share at the low end of the performance car segment. While it had a V-8 engine, it was more show than go, unlike a Duster 340 or Nova SS. When you ordered a Grabber, you got simulated hood scoops with blackout paint, Grabber stripes on the sides, fender decals, ...
Sealed-beam headlamps arrived, as elsewhere in Detroit, neatly housed in more upright fender nacelles. The fenders themselves were beautifully curved to complement body contours; rear fender skirts, long a popular accessory, imparted an even sleeker look. Standards carried a '39 DeLuxe-style ...
This Mustang’s seller treads the well-worn path, but the included documentation can substantiate his claim. Ford only produced 1,371 examples of the 1970 Mach 1 equipped with the R-Code V8. Of those, only thirteen wore Medium Green Metallic paint, and a single car combined that with ...
with the sun toasting its interior. The vinyl seats have cracked and split, as has the dash. Still, for as aged as it is, this cabin isn’t intolerable. Therear seatsare quite decent. Note the rust hole in the sill on this side; the passenger’s rear fender has rusted around the ...
In the case of fuel consumption, she was right. Take a look at this incredibly well preserved 1979 F150for sale on craigslistin Phoenix, Arizona. This almost always garaged F150 has the desirable trailer special option and a very thirsty 460 cubic inch V-8 under the hood. Do you think ...
This car has a V-engine, but it’s not what most folks were hoping for, it’s a 2.8-liter V6, which would have had 103 horsepower and 149 lb-ft of torque. This engine was about two seconds slower to 60 mph than the 302 V8 was, but they also offered a 2.3-liter four-cylinder...
