 Custom 2001 Mustang SVT Cobra. This is an adult owned, never raced, clean title car.  There is almost $85k invested at this point…   I have receipts for most everything and a few spare parts to go with it.

 The car has a 5.1 Liter all aluminum stroker motor in a Teksid block with forged internals that are safe to 8000 rpm. It is currently tuned to 7500 rpm, and with the ATI P1-SC supercharger @ 10psi of boost makes 532 rwhp with a very safe air/fuel ratio. The engine has ported Fox Lake stage-3 aluminum heads, big cams, ported aluminum intake manifold, steel Canton 7-quart roadracing baffled oil pan, Kooks stainless steel longtube headers and Bassani stainless steel X-pipe and cat-back exhaust. The car has an Accusump 3 quart hydraulic oil accumulator with an isolation valve for cold starts and hard driving, for total oil capacity of approximately 11 quarts, as well as an electric water pump. The drivetrain is a McLeod dual disc clutch in a Lakewood scattershield, G-Force 1200hp rated 6-speed T-56  transmission, custom steel driveshaft w. safety loop, Drive Shaft Shop 900hp rated half-shafts, a Torsen differential with Ford Racing 3.73 gears and a Billetflow differential brace.  The car has a full Maximum Motorsports suspension including welded tubular K-member/front sub frame w. remote oil filter kit, coil-overs with adjustable ride height both front and rear, Bilstein shocks/struts with the front struts recently rebuilt by Bilstein, tubular lower control arms, caster/camber plates, bumpsteer adjusters front and rear, polyurethane and aluminum suspension bushings, and chassis braces including welded in subframe connectors, K-member brace and strut tower brace. The car rides on Ford Racing 18" x 9.5" 2000 Cobra R wheels held on with ARP wheel bolts, Michelin PS2 Pilot Sport 275-40ZR18 tires, and has Wilwood 14" 2-piece 6 piston front brakes with Griggs Racing brake cooling ducts. At present, the car has approximately 13K miles on the new All Ford built motor, and approximately 23K miles on the new transmission and clutch. The following new parts were installed in approximately the last 10k miles: steering rack, Flaming River steering shaft, Procharger idler pulley, inner CV joints, alignment. The following new parts were installed in approximately the last 13K miles: Torsen differential, Wilwood 15" 2 piece 6-piston front brakes, Cobra fuel tank/fuel pump, A/C compressor, oil cooler.  There is not a lot left that's still stock on this car. The engine is making 532 rwhp with a very safe air/fuel ratio--which is about 620 hp at the crank. The supercharger currently on it is the one designed for the original factory 4.6L non-supercharged high compression motor, so it doesn't flow nearly as much air as this built engine could use. The supercharger can be rebuilt by ATI and upgraded to D1-SC internals for approximately $1K. With a 15psi pulley and a new dyno tune, this combination should make north of 800 hp, 650 hp at the wheels at least, but I just have not felt the need. The rest of the driveline has been built to take pretty much anything you could throw at it. This car is a blast on the back roads, yet I see as high as 26 mpg on the interstate. I have taken good care of her and the interior is in great condition, with new carpeting and a Ford Racing FR500 steering wheel, as well as an alarm system. The exterior does have a few scratches and chips, but overall the car really looks good. The odometer shows about 109k, but with the gear swap, it actually has right around 96k.  With just about the entire drivetrain, suspension and steering replaced in the last 23k miles, it isn't an issue anyway.  Most of the listed work was done by Jeff at All Ford Performance in Vancouver, WA. Consistently maintained and mechanically very good, all told, there is close to $85K into this project.  Although she's been a great car to have and to drive, changing priorities calls for a sale. I'd like to see her go to a good home, and this is your chance to get a lot of car for the money.

Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
