 An argument can be made that the Ford AV8 was the first true hot rod.  Emulating the Lakes and street racers of the late 30s and early 40s,
 this little roadster definitely fits the bill.  True to its tradition, it was recently honored with the Joe Mac Memorial Award at the annual
 Antique Nationals in Pomona, CA.

 Motivation comes from a fully-balanced, ported, polished, and relieved 1946 59a flathead; 0.060" over with a Merc crank for 266 cu. in.  
 Timing is handled by a rare and potent Iskenderian 1007 LD (long duration) Track Grind camshaft, the "Impacter".  Fuel and air are
 churned by an original pair of 97s and delivered to a rare and original Edelbrock Block Letter manifold.  Firing the mix is a Kurten dual-coil, 
 dual-point ignition with original Ford coils converted to 12v.  Containing the explosive gasses, is an ultra-rare set of original Edelbrock
 Block Letter heads.  Spent fuel exits through custom-made headers and a pair of Smithy's.  Cooling the motor is an original Deuce
 radiator rebuilt by the Brassworks, Paso Robles, CA.

 Rowing the gears is a '39 Ford box delivering torque to a very rare Culver City Model A quick change (final gear:  3.46), both assembled 
 by Nick and Ken Smith at Hot Rod Works, Caldwell, ID.

 The gennie Ford chassis was TIG welded for strength with further mods made by Derek Bower to improve rigidity.  A modified Ford F1 
 crossmember and Heim-jointed pedal assembly make for smooth braking and shifting.  Steering is by a rebuilt F1 steering box with
 NOS sector shaft and worm gear and original Deuce pitman arm.

 Handling the front suspension chores is an original Deuce 4" dropped axle, spindles, wishbone, and spring; rebuilt courtesy of Jay and Joe
 Kennedy at the Bomb Factory, Pomona, CA.  Pete and Jake shocks finish the package.

 Slowing things down are rebuilt '47 Ford hydraulic brakes with '40 backing plates.

 Rolling stock comes from '39 Ford wide-five hubs and wheels, 16 x 4" front and 16 x 5" rear, wrapped in Firestone 5.50 ribs and 7.50 bias-belts.
 NOS '39 Ford standard caps and '40 trim rings complete the look. 

 Monitoring the motor are rare, curved glass Stewart-Warner gauges:  3 & 1/2" mechanical tach with complete S-W brass-arm tach drive, 2 & 5/8"
 oil pressure and water temp gauges.  Completing the interior is a cut-down Glide seat with ultra-cool vintage Beechcraft airplane seat belts.

 The body is original Ford steel in PPG black base/clear coat with original Ford Deuce grill shell and insert.  NOS B-L-C 682-J headlamps with 
 Halogen conversion.  Final detailing by Bill Larzelere, Burbanl, CA and Joe Kennedy.  Chrome and nickel plating by Christensen Plating,
 Vernon, CA.
 
 A $2000, non-refundable deposit is due within 3 days at end of auction.  Total payment is due within 14 days (PayPal, cash,
 Cashier's Check).  Successful bidder is responsible for shipping.

 For any questions, feel free to call me @ 213 703 3638.  Thanks, mike.

Ford's new Focus RS hatches hot and heads for America

Tue, Feb 3 2015

The hot hatch market is heating up, and heating up fast. What you see here is Ford's new challenger for pocket-rocket supremacy, the third iteration of the breed and the 30th model to wear the Rallye Sport designation. But perhaps best of all, it will be the first time Ford will offer a new Focus RS in America. Following yesterday's leak, the latest Ford Focus RS is now ready to step out into the light and light up its tires. Answering the call is the same 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo four as you'd find in the new Mustang, but upgraded with a new low-inertia twin-scroll turbocharger, larger compressor and intercooler, freer-flowing intake, large-bore dual-pipe exhaust with electronically controlled valve and upgraded internal components. The result is a 6,500-rpm redline (closer to that of Ford's atmospheric performance engines) and an output quoted as "well in excess of 315 horsepower" – which is already 5 more than the EcoBoost Mustang and a good 63 more than the existing Focus ST. Power is transmitted to the tarmac through a new performance-focused all-wheel drive system with torque vectoring that can send as much as 70 percent of available twist to the rear wheels (and as much as 100 percent between them). The system works in tandem with the brake-based torque vectoring system and stability control, and will even divert torque to the outside rear wheel under cornering to keep it flat and under control while reducing understeer. Those still suspicious of dual-clutch gearboxes will also be pleased to read that Ford has stuck with a conventional six-speed manual. We'll reserve judgement on the inclusion of the electric power steering until we get a chance to drive it, though. Of course the small team of global Ford Performance engineers who developed the new Focus RS – and the Gymkhana legend Ken Block who consulted on the project – didn't just tinker with the powertrain and leave it at that. The suspension features stiffer spring rates, bushings and anti-roll bars than the Focus ST, augmented by two-mode switchable dampers. 19-inch alloys wear Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubber, with optional Pilot Sport Cup 2 semi-slicks for track-day enthusiasts. Ford has yet to detail the brakes on its new hot hatch, but you can bet they've been upgraded as well.

Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
