PLEASE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE BIDDING

This is a car that is 95% plus complete on the build and restoration. Straight body, interior is new and complete, the engine is all there, just needs the new MSD ignition hooked up to the megasquirt EFI brain (it's in the car and just needs to be wired in) and to be tuned. It has aluminum heads, roller rockers, new cam, and the intake is a tunnel ram custom fitted with 8 procomp EFI injector bodies with velocity stacks controlled by a megasquirt brain (almost $5k just in the custom EFI intake and electronics). The short block had between 3k to 5k miles on it when I bought the car and was told it was a 300hp crate motor. Turbo 350 tranny, newly rebuilt 373 10 bolt rear. New springs, shocks, brakes, brake lines, drums and disks, (everything looks new underneath and inside the car) new tires on 17" SS Cragar wheels, new side pipe exhaust, new stainless steel dash with all new gauges, including toggle EFI fuel pump switch and button start, new billet/wood steering wheel. Paint looks decent but is 10 years old (some scratches and cracks here and there) black with a hint of red metal flake. It does come with a steel hood with I believe a 4" cowl, but will still need to be cut to fit the custom EFI intake and injector unit. 

I hate to sell this car before it's complete, but I lost my job and I need living expense money.  I am not a mechanic either, so I won't be able to answer a lot of the technical questions as I paid to have the work that was done to it. I will try and answer any general questions though. 

As a note, we did have the engine running (see video) with the EFI and it had a miss/pop or something in it and I was told they thought it was the cheap Chinese ignition we had and it was bugged, so I just spent almost $600 on an MSD package that included the box, coil, distributor and wires and have that on the car now, but it's not yet tied into the EFI brain as I have no clue how. So it has all of the parts installed and ready to run, no need to buy anything else to complete the car mechanically. 

Oh on the intake, the guy who built this actually builds custom intakes and injector units for all sorts of different cars and his work has been featured in magazines, so it is a quality custom build. 

The buyer will be responsible for shipping or local pick up in Cocoa Beach, FL. 32931 zip.

Low listing price compared to what I have invested in this car as I need to sell it for living expenses. This is a really cool car, especially for the price. Someone is going to be very happy to get a nearly completed project that will be so much fun to drive and a major head turner when done! 

Good luck and happy bidding.

Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."

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..
