Up for sale is my 56 Ford Victoria - I have owned this car for close to 20 years.

Body/Paint- Paint is now 1 year old- paid 8K for paint....body is very straight.....this is an original CA car...body panels are original....no rust replacement....all original metal....Car is painted 2012 Mustang Red/Black....as I do drive the car- you will find a road chip here or there but over all in excellent shape as the car is garage kept under a cover - all emblems have been shaved

Chrome/Stainless- Very nice shape- car was built as a driver so you are going to find the normal imperfections here and there- but definitely presentable at car shows- if you are looking for a 100 point trailer queen where every piece of chrome and stainless is absolutely perfect- this is not your car- bumpers are smoothed

suspension/ brakes- front end/ steering box completely rebuilt 2000 miles ago- you can drive the car with one finger down the freeway- jamco lowering springs front and rear, Granada spindles and front disc brakes- also went to the larger station wagon sway bar so car handles very nicely  

Motor- 428Cj Edelbrock aluminum heads/10.1 compression/Crane Cam (over 540 lift so has a nice beefy idle) Edelbrock 427 intake manifold/ custom build headers and a custom one off MagnaFlow Exhaust System built by MagnaFlow (I work for MagnaFlow) Just the custom built headers and exhaust alone at any shop would be easily 2500 worth of work- The motor was put together by a friend of the family who used to build FE motors back in the 60s for drag boats- anyone familiar with Cobra Jet motors will tell you someone either knows how to build a Cobra Jet motor or they don't- and this motor was built right - transmission is a build C6 with a 2500 stall converter - with the huge Griffin radiator/ extra electric fans- car runs cool - stays right around 180-190 in 90 degree weather

Car is a definite sleeper!

 

Interior- nice shape- again car is not a trailer queen - but it has some nice touches.....autometer tach/ temp gauge down below B&M shifter- also went to a custom steering wheel which resembles the original wheel but is much smaller- aftermarket radio looks like the original one but has IPOD hook up

This is a great car- I hate to sell it but I need the money so I can go back to school and get my Masters Degree. Car was built to drive- but is still more then nice enough to drive into any car show pop the hood and grab attention as you see a ton of 55-56-57 Chevys but never seem to see any Fords

Please feel free to give me a call with any questions Brent -949-633-0946

Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.

Ford's Simple Suit Makes You Feel Like A Drunk Driver

Tue, Mar 25 2014

We've all heard about the dangers of drunk driving for practically our entire lives. Whether it's from PSAs on TV or lectures in school, no one can claim ignorance of drunk driving being extremely dangerous. However, that doesn't prevent some people from still doing it. Ford is trying to take the safety message directly to young drivers with a special suit that allows them to simulate driving under the influence. It is all part of Ford's Driving Skills for Life program that gives free driving education to young people. The program is meant to "train kids in skills they don't learn in driver's ed," said Kelli Felker, Ford Safety Communications Manager, to Autoblog. The drivers don a few items to impair their senses and make them off-balance to simulate having a few too many drinks and then go out on a closed course with an instructor to see the effects. Felker said that the suit is a new part of the program, and Ford just received the outfit in the US. It will be incorporated into the training here in the late spring or early summer. Scroll down to see the effect it has on drivers in Europe. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
