 Here's a chance to get your butt into a pretty bad ass, head turning hot rod. My friend, Dylan of the band "Reckless Ones", owns this car and built it years ago. He has had the car for almost 8 years, and has decided its finally time to part with it.  It has been sitting for a couple years while the band toured and he decided he just couldn't give it the time/love this car needs. It has been in multiple car magazines, coffee table book, and even a MUSIC VIDEO!

The car was built to resemble a 50's altered drag sedan, its a 29 ford model A tudor, it has been chopped 6 inches, channeled about 6. It is on a stock but modified (z'd and boxed) frame. The front end consists of a 33-36 ford axle with 40 ford wishbones, and the axle was modified to accept 1954 chevy spindles and brakes. Also on the front are 49-53 chevy rims with coker 560-15 tires (Kasler retreaded pie slit drag slicks on the rear). The rear suspension consists of a 66 olds cutlass 8.2 rear end and trailing arm type suspension with coil springs and tube shocks. The transmission is a th350 that has a stall converter and shift kit. 

Now the best part of the whole car, the motor, its a rebuilt 283 with forged pistons and a comp cams camshaft, later model 76 cc heads to lower the compression to a tolerable level for the blower. The heads had hardened seats and bronze liners installed. The motor was bored and completely rebuilt, crank ground, new oil pump timing chain lifters bearings rings, etc etc. The intake is an offenhauser  intake modified to accept a 6-71 blower, the blower had been rebuilt for the street. To top it all off is a vintage and rare weiand 8x2 blower top with 8 holley 94 carbs(modified to fit the intake, it was intended for 97's), the car is running only 4 of the 8 carbs to alleviate some of the trouble!  The car was built about 10 years ago and all mechanical aspects were new, kingpins, tie rod ends, brake lines, wheel cylinders, master cylinder etc etc.  The original 283 was weak so the new motor was built 4 or so years ago and doesn't have a huge amount of miles on it (under 1000 miles). The radiator is located at the rear of this car and is a new replacement 70s gm 3 core radiator cooled with two nice large electric fans.

Now i will try and describe some of the issues the car has...... it needs a higher stall converter, it has a 2000 ish stall and could use a 2700-3000 ish stall to make the car much more drive-able. It has 4 carbs, with the 4 carbs it can be finicky... the car was built when Dylan was 20 so he learned a lot so, it might not have the prettiest welds but it will hold together.A month after he finished it he took it on a 800 mile round trip and had very little problems with it. It has never had to do any major work on it to keep it on the road. 

After the 2 year slumber he went out charged the battery and it started up and drive it 20 miles to my house, we spend a day on it tidying some stuff up and going over the carbs to get it back up to good running condition. These things take some work, some love (all the time) but that's the cost of having such a different and special car. Care has to be taken with the cooling system to make sure there are no air pockets, he has never had any problems with it overheating except when there was an air pocket.

This is an old car and drives like one. I am 6-2 and Dylan a little shorter, he fits ok but im not very comfortable in the car.  It is what it is.

One more thing, the car is title and registered as a 29 dodge, at the time he bought he car it  was a junkyard body and hadn't had a title nor vin code for many years. He had planned to find a ford title for it but never had the time. If the car were to go overseas we could looking into finding a ford title for it but at the cost of the buyer.

Note: The gauges in the firewall were just mounted but not connected

The shipping costs and arrangements are all the buyers responsibility, I will be here and help with the loading etc etc but that's it. The car could be kept here for a few weeks or but any longer and we'll would have to make arrangements. When purchasing this car a $500 paypal deposit will have to be made with in 48 hours of purchase then we will arrange the rest after that.


Thanks!!

2016 Ford Focus RS mule spotted on US soil

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

Okay Ford, this is what we like to see. One of our intrepid spy photographers has captured a vehicle that we weren't even sure would see the light of day - the next Focus RS. While this is pretty clearly a mule based on the current Focus ST, as our spy points out, there are a number of giveaways about this hot hatch's true nature.
Indication number one that all is not right with this Focus is the heavily camo'd front fascia, which has been completely reconfigured for duty on the RS. It boasts significantly larger grilles that are meant to accommodate what is likely the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder that's destined for the 2015 Ford Mustang. Considering that, then, we can expect around 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque from the hottest of Foci, although it's entirely possible that the production model could climb even higher, to around 330 hp.
The front fascia tweaks are complemented in the back by a modified rear bumper, which fails at hiding a pair of exhaust tips quite unlike the standard Focus ST's center-exit exhaust. Other obvious changes include the wheel/tire/brake package on this particular car. Larger 19-inch wheels are shod in super-sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in 235/35/19 while the brakes feature what we think are four-piston calipers, possibly from Brembo, up front.

Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.

2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.
