 Up for auction is my 1928 Ford roadster pickup. The car runs & drives great. I've driven it to car shows as far as 200 miles away. The car has a Blackboard Hotrods complete custom chassis. The cab is a mix of original & new sheet metal. The bed was made by Last Refuge Hotrods. The rear end is a 1969 T-bird 9" w/ Auburn Posi unit built by Currie Enterprises. the rear is hung with a triangulated four bar set up & polished aluminum Aldan Eagle coilover shocks. The front end is made up of MT Brakes 39 Lincoln backing plates, Buick polished 45 fin drums with Wilson welding adapters, a So-Cal forged drilled I-beam axle. Posi super slide spring, chrome Pete & Jakes shocks & Hairpin radius rods. The engine is a fresh Chevy 396 built by Paul Williams Motorsports. Built w/ Forged parts to add Nitrous Oxide if you choose. It has a chrome mini starter, custom Lakes style headers w/ baffles, Edelbrock endurashine Air gap manifold, Demon 650cfm carb, MSD Distributor & Coil, finned aluminum Valve covers & air cleaner. The transmission is a Corvette 700R4 rebuilt by Gil's transmission of Bakersfield. it is setup with a Bowtie Overdrives TV Cable setup. The radiator is custom built by Brass Works, The fuel is held by a original Model T with three gallons of storage added to the underside. The Gauges are SW Wings series & a Sun vintage style Tach. Steering is done with a Vega box & the front end has a panhard bar. The paint is Dupont Hot Hues YM166, which looks fairly dark until the sun hits it. The paint has a lot of gold micro flake & really pops in the light. The interior is butterscotch colored ultra-leather & was stitched by Bill Purkiser of Dave's Fabrication in Bakersfield. The Rocket wheels are wrapped with Hurst Radial Cheater slicks in back & firestone radials in the front. It took 3 years of nights & weekends to build this car. It is a total custom one off build. The car is highly detailed & well engineered. It always turns heads, wins shows & gets attention from the magazines. It is very fast & dependable. This is not a roomy car. I am 6' & 240lbs & drive it on fairly long trips but, the car is channeled & leg room is tight. If you are over 6' & like to drive long trips this probably isn't the Hotrod for you. The car is also for sale locally. Buyer is responsible for shipping or Pick up. I will haul to an over sea's shipper (long beach area only)  for a $$$ fee. Good Luck & happy bidding!

Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.

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..
