 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!!

Ford abandons MyFord Touch, all hail Sync 3 infotainment [w/video]

Thu, Dec 11 2014

MyFord Touch has been among the most widely disdained automotive infotainment systems on the market, practically since its introduction in 2010. Consumer Reports was among the most vocal critics, all but advocating its lynching by an angry mob armed with torches and pitchforks. Not surprisingly, then, after such a critical walloping, Ford has finally decided to say goodbye to the unloved tech, declaring the end of MyFord Touch branding in favor of Sync 3 for its upcoming, all-new system. Ford is promising everything you would expect from Sync 3, including faster response time, better voice-command integration, easier controls and a more useable interface. The screen layout includes fewer items to make them easier to discern, and the icons are made from large, high-contrast buttons. There's also a dedicated tab for apps at the bottom of the screen in addition to those for audio, climate, phone and navigation. Another useful feature is the fact that Sync 3 can download improvements over your home Wi-Fi for easier updates. In addition to the revamped interface, the software running behind the scenes is a big change too. Rather than MyFord Touch's Microsoft-sourced system, Sync 3 uses the Blackberry-owned QNX, according to Automotive News. Such a switch was rumored earlier this year. Drivers still have to live with MyFord Touch a little longer, though. According to Automotive News, Ford said that the change to Sync 3 will happen during the 2016 model year with complete integration into the lineup by the end of the 2016 calendar year. It will come standard on Titanium trim models and as a separate option will be priced in line with the current MyFord Touch. The Sync 3 brand will carry over to Lincoln, too, but with a different look. The gallery above shows a few more looks at the interface, and we invite you to scroll down to watch a video of Sync 3 in action and to read Ford's press release about it, below.

Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]

Mon, 20 May 2013

Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.

Livestream: Ricardo Innovation & Sustainability Symposium 2015

Thu, Mar 19 2015

Making decisions on how to invest billions of dollars in future technology is scary even if you're developing something as simple as a smartphone. But when you've got to invest that money in something as complex as a car – one that might drive itself, or operate just on electricity, or even possibly be crash-proof – that task becomes daunting. Today, at 9:00AM, a slate of auto industry leaders are gathering at automotive supplier Ricardo to celebrate the company's 100-year anniversary by looking toward the future. Moderated by Autoblog Editor-in-Chief Sharon Carty, the panel will talk about Ford's vision for the future, look at battery development, environmental issues, and may even debate the future of flying cars. Maybe. If you're interested in following along, take a look at the livestream. Government/Legal Green Ford Technology Emerging Technologies Videos ricardo Sakti3
