This beautiful ’63 has the 300 HP 390 Ford FE Z-code engine. Above and beyond that, it is outfitted and upgraded with with some 406/405HP G-code goodies! Like a G-code 406 this XL 500 has a 6V Triple Holley 3×2 induction (tripower)
and cast iron 406FE headers. This car runs and sounds like a true HIPO car. The 390 barks through its dual
exhaust. Shifting gears is a dream with the smooth shifting tough Borg-Warnder t-10. If you haven’t been behind
the wheel of a 390 or bigger FE 4-speed Galaxie, you would be surprised how well they run. These cars can hang
with the sporty pony cars with no issues. AC blows cold! The long block is still original to the car. C3AE heads and engine block do have the correct date code. The engine is very strong with the only modifications being the hipo 406 intake, exhaust and electronic ignition.

Exterior: The Rose Beige paint shines nice. The car has been repainted the original code W color. There is no
evidence of cracks or rust. The bumpers and emblems look great. The aluminum trim is all there, some could use
restoration if you want the trim to be at a show quality level. The paint measures pretty consistent across the
car. There has been some body work done to the rear quarter-panels behind the rear tires. The work appears to be
of high quality and there are no signs of cracking or issues. The convertible top has been replaced and is in good
shape.
Interior: All original upholstery, dash pad and door panels are in good shape. The carpet appears to be replaced
however it is in OEM quality carpet set. All of the glass, door handles and dash components are in nice shape. The
air conditioning works, all of the gauges work, all lights work. The clock is intermittent.
Mechanical: The 390 is very strong and very fun with the 6V(tripower). The 4 speed adds to the excitement, it
shifts smooth like a T-10 should. The car steers super easy, rides nice and stops well! Data Tag Breakdown:

Xcar flogs the 2015 Ford Focus ST

Wed, Feb 18 2015

There's an inevitable dilemma that practically every auto fan eventually faces, at least other than Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld, and that's the tradeoff of performance, practicality and perhaps most importantly, money. Parking the fabled supercar in the garage might be the wish, but for most folks bigger responsibilities – like a family Â– just don't allow that dream to be a reality. In the view of XCar Films, this intersection of needs and wants is where vehicles like the latest Ford Focus ST provide a fantastic compromise between exciting driving and everyday practicality. Xcar hops into Ford's recently refreshed European hot hatch to illustrate its abilities as both a hauler for the small family on the move and for the driver who just wants to go. The Blue Oval left the powertrain alone for the ST's update, but sharpened the exterior styling, revised the interior and retuned the front suspension and steering. Being realistic, no one is ever going to get behind the wheel of the Focus ST and mistake it for a Porsche, but that's not really the point. Instead, buyers get to put a smile on their face from time to time and still maintain life's other responsibilities.

Ford Focus RS ready to make our hot hatch dreams real

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Ford's current hot hatch siblings the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are already two pretty great entries into the segment, but there's always a desire for a little more. Thankfully, it looks like the Blue Oval is ready to satiate that need because it's continuing to test the even more powerful Focus RS around Europe. According to our spy shooters, these shots come from near the Nürburgring.
As with previous photos, Ford engineers continue to heavily camouflage the front end of the RS prototypes, but there's a big difference here. Unlike earlier ones, this example appears to have a closer-to-production-ready front bumper rather than just a horizontal strip for the license plate. That may point to development getting somewhat closer to wrapping up. Although, this one lacks the larger rear wing from prior testers, and the exhaust also appears to be a work in progress with the rear diffuser covered in mesh in these latest shots.
The RS is rumored to be using the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Mustang, but power is reportedly turned up from 310 horsepower in the 'Stang to somewhere between 325 hp and 350 hp for the Focus. Routing all that just through the front wheels could be a recipe for serious torque steer, and all-wheel drive is potentially being used for better traction.

Ford EcoBoost V6 hits the dyno before hitting the track

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Ford Racing just unveiled the Riley Daytona Prototype that will make its racing in the United SportsCar Racing Championship Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, and now it has released a video showing development of twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that powers the car. Using the same block and heads that can be found on a production Ford Taurus SHO, this new racecar benefits from the collaboration between Ford Racing and Ford powertrain engineers.
While we still don't know what kind of power this engine is putting out, it has definitely gotten a workout at Ford's 17G dyno. This area deep within Ford allows the automaker's racing program to work hand-in-hand with production engine programs, which can be a benefit to racing operations and production cars alike. Scroll down to hear a few people from Ford talk about the crosspollination between its racing and engine teams and watch the EcoBoost get red hot on the dyno.
