I purchased this fabulous 1930 Ford Model A 5 window coupe from an estate sale. The original owner spent ten years and approx. $250K to build this car.
I have had several drag race car and engine builders look at this dragster and they all agree that only the best components of it`s day were used here.
SPECS:  Engine 698 cid  Donovan block with Brodix EPD 700 Series heads
               Bore X Stroke  4.60" X 5.25"     Comp. ratio 9:1

         boost
Built by: Performance Engine Development Inc. Tacoma, Washington
Performance: twice run on dyno and broke it both times ( > 2500 hp)
                     1504 hp & 1652 lbs. torque @ 4500 rpm
Transmission: Lenco 3 speed
Drive: Mark Williams modular rear end- gear ratio 4.88
Body: Hadman all steel full funny car chassis  4130 chromoly
This car has never been raced and according to the knowledgeable persons that I have talked to it would require a more up to date front end to consider taking it to the drag strip. In it`s current state it is probably most suitable as a show car and was even driven on the streets in Washington State by the original owner.  The professional engine builders that I talked to recommended parting out the Donovan engine, BDS blower , Lenco transmission, the Mark Williams rear end, install a small block and make an awesome street rod. I have not started this engine and I have very limited knowledge of these vehicles other than what I have stated here so I`m unlikely to be able to answer any technical questions. This car is currently in private storage. It can be viewed but not removed from this location until the first week in May.
Buyer pays shipping charges as well as any duty or taxes if applicable. I have been quoted $2000 for shipping from Toronto, Canada to L.A.

2015 Roush Mustang lineup officially revealed

Thu, 02 Oct 2014


Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST priced from $21,400* [w/poll]

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

The 2014 model year brings a whole host of changes to Ford's Fiesta B-Segment fighter, the most important of which (to our enthusiast eyes, anyway) is the addition of a potent new ST model. The US-spec hot hatch was first shown at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show last November, and thanks to Ford's build-and-price site, we've now learned that the Fiesta ST will slide in at $21,400 when it goes on sale later this year (*not including $795 for destination).
Under the hood of the ST is a turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline-four good for 197 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed manual transmission. Ford hasn't released performance data on its pint-sized puncher just yet, but know that these numbers make the Fiesta ST ever-so-slightly more powerful than the larger Volkswagen GTI while returning an estimated 34 miles per gallon on the highway.
Elsewhere in the lineup, the standard Fiesta also gets a smattering of improvements for the 2014 model year, including a new 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine and revised exterior styling. Pricing for the 2014 Fiesta sedan starts at $14,000, with the five-door model adding $600 to that number (again excluding the $795 destination fee).
