Scta Flathead Dry Lakes Halibrand Quickchange Edelbrock Hot Rod Iskenderian Av8 on 2040-cars

US $54,000.00
Year:1930 Mileage:2200

South Pasadena, California, United States

South Pasadena, California, United States


 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 driving Alaskan maniac rams toddler-carrying SUV

Mon, Jul 25 2016

A couple from Anchorage had a frightening traffic encounter when they were followed and repeatedly rammed by a stranger in a pickup truck. Grace Bernert, her boyfriend, and his two-year-old daughter were returning home from a trip to downtown Anchorage when they noticed a blue, 2001 Ford F-150 following closely behind them. "The guy was so close, we couldn't see his headlights," Bernert told KTVA. Bernert, who was riding shotgun, pulled out her phone to record the truck when it struck the rear end of their Acura SUV. That's when she called 911. Bernert's boyfriend tried to lose the F-150 in the Sullivan Arena parking lot, then drove to a local Ford dealer's parking lot where he drove through a maze of new Ford pickups in an attempt to shake their assailant. "We started doing circles around the brand new Fords because we thought the truck wouldn't be able to turn as fast as we would," said Bernert. "We were right, but the guy didn't care. He just kept hitting the new fords and backing up, coming after us." The truck continued to follow them, ramming the Acura again and again. Bernert estimates that F-150 driver struck their SUV between five and seven times, and hit numerous new trucks in the dealership parking lot. Eventually, they ducked into a nearby neighborhood where they managed to lose the F-150 and called 911. Bernert told KTVA that she believes they were targeted but doesn't know why. "The guy was either some random sick person who didn't care, or somebody who knew us and didn't care there was a kid in the car," she said. Anchorage Police arrived shortly after the couple escaped the F-150 and filed a report about the incident. They are currently investigating. Recent Video:

An amazing Group B rally car collection heads to auction

Tue, Jan 26 2021

Kicking off in 1982, the Group B era spawned some of the most fearsome rally cars of all time. The technologically advanced pioneers of all-wheel drive and turbocharging defined a time when automakers had carte blanche to build machines with unrestricted power, without the burden of homologating a large number of road cars to qualify. The results were sometimes deadly, leading the FIA to ban the class after 1986. Now, a collection of seven Group B monsters is headed across the block in Paris as part of the Artcurial auction, held in partnership with France's famed Retromobile show. The show has been delayed to June, however. There's a 1985 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, one of 20 Evo II models that helped the company achieve two championships in Group B's short run. This particular example was driven by world champion Timo Salonen at the 1986 Swedish Rally, where it finished seventh due to an oil filter seal failure. Bruno Saby subsequently drove it at the 1986 Tour de Corse and Peugeot entered it at the 1986 Acropolis Rally as well. It's still registered to Peugeot Talbot Sport and represents a French technological achievement, according to Artcurial, comparable to the Concorde or TGV train. Representing Italy are a pair of Lancias in the iconic Martini livery. The Lancia 037 helped Bel Paese clinch its only Group B victory in 1983, after a hard-fought rivalry with Audi. It's one of the few Group B cars that weren't AWD, achieving its success the old-fashioned way, through lightness and superb handling. A second Lancia, a 1986 Delta S4, was the culmination of the Italian firm's later Group B efforts and one of Saby's favorites. While Group B was no more in 1987, the S4 was the predecessor to the Delta Integrale that would dominate WRC from 1987 through 1992. While the collection also includes greats like a Ford RS200, Renault 5 Maxi Turbo, and MG Metro 6R4, the centerpiece is the Audi Quattro Sport S1. The ultimate Group B machine, it introduced all-wheel-drive and turbocharging to the sport. It also employed the wildest use of wings and air dams to generate downforce. Tunable up to 590 horsepower, it could rocket to 60 mph in about three seconds. The car offered for sale came straight from Ingolstadt, a 1988 model built for the Race of Champions of ex-Group B cars. The collection was amassed in the late 80s and early 90s, not long after Group B's dissolution.

Watch how a Ford Raptor rolls down the assembly line in Dearborn

Sun, 30 Mar 2014

Bloomberg TV reporter Matt Miller is the proud new owner of a pretty killer truck. How do we know? The reporter headed to Dearborn, MI to Ford's assembly plant, with a film crew in tow, to see exactly how his new F-150 SVT Raptor and its mother-loving 6.2-liter V8 engine, was screwed together.
The resulting video does an excellent job of summing up how an assemblage of parts and pieces is turned into a triple-black Raptor, thanks to the work of some 1,000 employees and about 20 hours of real time. Click through below to see how the truck is born, with a surprise cameo playing the part of delivery driver at the end.
