For sale is a 1937 Ford Coupe I bought about a year ago. I picked it up for a cruise nights/local shows car but found something I like better. It’s an all steel car with great lines and very solid. It has a supercharged Chevy 350, 4 speed, heavy clutch and a Ford posi rear end with a 411 or 457 gear set in it. Since I bought it I put a new Holly carb on it, had the supercharger, a B&M 144, rebuilt by Dyer’s Blower shop. I also had some other work done on it by Midwest Hotrod. I had them put in a new aluminum radiator, the old one had calcified. They rebuilt the rear brake cylinders and bled the lines. The trunk had bubbles in the paint along the bottom edge so I also had Midwest fix that and repaint it and some other areas that need a minor touch up. The mechanic said he thinks they put in an AMC front end in the car. As far as the rest of body goes, it’s very sturdy and rust free. I don’t know much about the history of the car. I’m guessing the car was a 1970’s build, judging from the interior work and style. It works but it’s antiquated. Looks like maybe a 1970’s GM dash. The car also has a sun roof and an opera seat in the cab. It runs strong. I didn’t get it finished until last fall, so I’ve only put about 50 miles on it since the refresh was done. There’s been a lot of 1937’s on the EBAY site lately, mostly going for $35,000.00 to $45,000.00 This car can easily be taking to the next level and customized more to your personal tastes for much less the difference of site cars and what I’m asking for mine. The only things wrong that I’m aware of is speedometer doesn’t work (I was thinking about digital gauges anyway if I redid the Interior) and if you fill up the gas tank all the way there is a small drip that goes away after a 5 or 10 mile ride. A $500.00 Deposit is due within 48 hours of close of Auction, Payment in full within 7 days of Auction Close via certified funds, or cash. Car needs to be picked up within 15 days of end of auction. Insurance, tags, taxes and shipping fees are the buyer’s responsibility.

Will the Ford GT make 630 hp?

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Ford intends to build just 250 examples of the next-generation GT annually when production begins next year. That's low even by supercar standards, but anyone with an Xbox One can drive the highly anticipated model right now in the demo for Forza Motorsport 6. The car is even on the cover of the retail version, but the game might be giving a glimpse at one of the upcoming vehicle's biggest secrets. According to the specs page, the GT makes 630 horsepower and 539 pound-feet of torque, according to Motor Authority. Weight is shown at 2,890 pounds with a front/rear distribution of 43/57. Until now, Ford's only comment on the GT's output from its 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 is "more than 600 horsepower," and that's certainly the case here. If accurate, the figures make the new model 130-hp more powerful than than the last GT, while also being hundreds of pounds lighter. Compared to modern competitors, the GT would be less powerful than a Ferrari 488 GTB and heavier than a McLaren 675LT. Unfortunately, Ford isn't commenting on the numbers in the game. "As we stated back at NAIAS, the Ford GT will produce more than 600 horsepower, and we can't speak to what Forza includes as specifications in their video game," company spokesperson Matt Leaver said to Autoblog via email. Don't think this is all doom and gloom, just yet. For one thing, more than numbers make a great car. Plus, the GT is still quite some way out from production, and spy shots still show it under development. Even if these figures are accurate at the time of Forza's development, that doesn't mean that they can't change in the meantime. Related Video:

2015 Roush Stage 3 Mustang has 670 hp

Fri, May 8 2015

My last speeding ticket was nearly two years ago while behind the wheel of a 2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang. Considering the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 produced 575 horsepower – the lowest of the Stage 3's tunes Â– an encounter with the friendly folks at the Michigan State Police seemed inevitable. With the 2015 Stage 3 producing 95 more horsepower, if and when I drive the new supercharged 'Stang, another meeting with Michigan's finest seems likely. The combination of the Ford 5.0-liter V8 and a 2.3-liter TVS supercharger turns out 670 horsepower, which should have owners of the weightier Dodge Challenger Hellcat at least a bit nervous. All that power is complemented by 545 pound-feet of torque and what is almost certainly an ear-shattering exhaust note from the quad-tip pipes. On top of the RS3's trademark sound and speed, Roush has fitted the sixth-generation Mustang's body with a new "R7" aero kit that actually looks toned down from last year's car. 20-inch "Quicksilver" wheels are standard, although Roush is offering a pair of optional designs. Either way, Cooper RS3 tires are the rubber of choice. Prices for the Roush Stage 3 Mustang start at $21,995, not including the $32,300 starting price of a Mustang GT donor car. Scroll down for the official press release.

The RS3 is cranking out a heart-racing 670 horsepower and 545 lb-ft of torque to deliver the ultimate driving experience. All 670 horsepower are created as a direct result of the powerful combination of Ford's 5.0L V8 engine with ROUSH Performance's dynamic new 2015 2.3L TVS supercharger. The new ROUSH Mustang's generous power ratings impeccably compliment the RS3's list of standard and optional features, including the ROUSH Quad-Tip exhaust (with optional ROUSH Active Exhaust System), standard single-adjustable coilover suspension system (or optional competition-tuned 3-way adjustable system), and the fierce new "R7" aerobody. The 2015 ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang is not just a car Â– it's an experience. The RS3 truly bridges the gap between road car and race car, putting drivers behind the wheel of the ultimate uninhibited muscle car.

2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang debuts at Lagun Seca

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Saleen used the occasion of the race-fueled Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to announce its new Heritage Collection Lineup. The event was punctuated with the debut of the collection's first member, the 2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang.
Follmer's name will likely sound familiar to fans of American racing in the 1960s and '70s. The driver competed in Formula One with the Shadow team in 1973, ran the Indianapolis 500, was the Can-Am champion in 1972 and drove stock cars in NASCAR's Winston Cup as well. The multi-disciplined driver is now one of three -the other two being Mark Donohue and Swede Savage - with the honor of upcoming, limited edition Saleen-tuned vehicles..
