1956 Ford Fairlane Stroked 427 Tunnel Port to 482 cid, Four Speed
Up for auction is my 1956 Ford 2 door club sedan. It has a 427 side oiler service block that has been bored and stroked to a 482 cid monster with original Tunnel Port heads. It has roller rockers, high volume oil pump and the best of everything Everything is new, engine built professionally and has less than 200 miles. The car looks awesome and is straight as can be with no bondo. The engine is backed up by a Ford T-10 4-speed that has also been rebuilt with new clutch. The car has custom headers and newer 3" exhaust with a x-pipe. Has a new HP950 4 barrel carb and new aluminum radiator. There is way too much to list so please ask questions before bidding. Is fun to drive however I don't drive as much as I should. This is probably the nicest 56 Ford you will find and it has an old school 427 Tunnel Port!!
The body & paint are in very good condition! The car has the same paint on it from when I purchased it years ago. The car is very solid. The body panels are super straight and everything lines right up. There has been no repairs to body panels or the floor panels due to rust since the car is RUST FREE! The chrome is NOT perfect, I would say good condition. The tires have about 300 miles on them. The bumpers are good quality. The other trim is in good condition. The interior is the blue/white. Very nice headliner and trim. Extra gauges added including Tach.
Engine runs great, no problems or funny noises. The distributor has an MSD electronic control. The carb is a HP950 which is a very nice carb. The four speed works great. The engine runs very strong and fast. No fluid leaks, no smoking, no overheating. The cooling system has a flex fan with an electrical auxiliary fan mounted on the radiator. Steering is straight and solid. The brakes are Disc up front and Drum in the back. All fluids have been changed and are fresh.
In closing I believe you will not find another classic 56 Ford in this type of condition especially finding one with a Tunnel Port motor? Never! Please ask any questions before you bid, and I will not be willing to sell engine and car separate so please don't ask. This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied. The car is available for inspection by you or your mechanic at your expense at any time however it is not insured at this time. Serious bidders only! I will require a non-refundable $5000 deposit within 72 hours of close of this add. Remaining funds MUST be paid by cash or bank wire transfer. I will however accept a cashiers check if I am with you at the bank when you receive it. The remaining funds will need to be paid in full within 7 days of close of auction.
Shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer. I am not a dealer. Any taxes or registration fees are the responsibility of the buyer pursuant to their home state requirements. I have a clear title in my name. The vehicle is for sale locally so I have the right to end this auction at any time.

Chris Harris checks out Ken Block's Hoonicorn '65 Mustang
Thu, Dec 4 2014Ken Block's Hoonicorn, which stars in Gymkhana Seven, might still bear a passing resemblance to a vintage 1965 Ford Mustang, but underneath the skin, the car is one of the baddest custom machines to ever do a smoky burnout on the road. The ever enthusiastic British auto journalist Chris Harris is now showing what really makes Block's new ride tick on video, and Harris even gets to go for quite a ride. The only Mustang components really left on the Hoonicorn are the A-pillar, B-pillar and roof, according to Harris. Everything else is ditched to create Block's ultimate Gymkhana tool. The 845-horsepower, 6.7-liter Rousch Yates V8 sits behind the front axle, and the grunt is routed to all four wheels through a Sadev gearbox usually found on Dakar Rally vehicles. The whole drivetrain is packed with cool little touches; like that giant handbrake that also disconnects power from the front wheels when in use. The superlatives about the Hoonicorn could go on forever, but settle in and let a very excited Harris tell you about just some of them. He's like a kid in a candy store here, and the look that combines surprise, fear and joy during his ride with Block is the kind that lacks a suitable word in the English language.

MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms
Mon, 17 Jun 2013Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
