This beautiful T-bucket is amazing to drive, very fast and gets tons of attention. Like any street rod that's driven, this one isn't perfect. It is very good though, and it wouldn't take much to bring her up to show condition. Unfortunately, I'm losing the use of my garage, and that's forcing me to put this super-fun car up for sale.

The motor is a pre-Vortec 350 Chevy crate motor with a mild street cam. It's been assembled with a Weiand 8004 intake, Edelbrock 1406, Edelbrock Pro-Flo air filter, Holley mechanical fuel pump, Holley regulator and Flame Thrower HEI. The transmission is a TH400 professionally rebuilt by Eagle Transmission just last year. The rear end is a Ford 8" with 2.79 gears. The shifter and parking brake are Lokar.

In addition to the transmission, the following items were installed/replaced within the last 12 months:

Mustang II front brake calipers
Speedway front shocks
SO-CAL steering damper
Champion spark plugs
Taylor Spiro-Pro wires
Flame-Thrower distributor cap and rotor
Anchor motor mounts (USA)
Spicer U-joints
National real axle seals
Energy Suspension rear radius rod bushings
Carb rebuilt w/Edelbrock kit

Wheels and tires were also purchased recently and are almost new:

Weld Racing Pro Star 15 x 5 / Nexen 165/80R15
Weld Racing Pro Star 15 x 12 / Mickey Thompson 29 x 15 R15LT

Ergonomics in this car are unusually good. I'm 6' / 200 lbs, and I can drive it comfortably. That's not typical of these cars, especially with a standard size body. Many T-buckets are set up in such a way that I can't even sit in them, let alone drive. The last photo shows how well I fit in the car. Other nice touches include the fact that the battery and fusebox are located under the seat for easy access. The transmission crossmember is a bolt-on. Unlike many of these cars, you won't have to pull the motor to swap torque converters. Radius rods, drag link, tie rod and windshield support rods are all stainless steel. Fuel mileage is approximately in the low 20s, so the 10-gallon tank provides a good cruising range if you don't have a lead foot. This car also has seat belts to meet state safety requirements.

Bugs: This car is equipped with Intellitronix digital gauges. They all work fine except the speedometer, which sometimes indicates a few MPH when the car is standing still with the motor running. I have also seen the speedometer black out once in a while. I suspect this is due to a loose ground somewhere, but haven't had time to look into it. The gauge manufacturer is still in business if you need support, or the entire cluster could simply be replaced or updated.

This car has a clear Texas title as a 1923 Ford Roadster. State inspection and registration were recently renewed.

CAUTION!
These cars have a high HP to weight ratio, and they are very fast. Even with one like this that corners well and generally accelerates in a straight line, it's easy for an inexperienced driver to get into trouble. Be sure you want a machine like this and that you have all required permissions from other family members before you bid!!

Please ask all questions before bidding.

The car is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Car is sold as-is with no warranty or refunds.

Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams

Sun, 11 Aug 2013

As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.

The 2015 Ford Mustang is not so mellow in yellow

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.

Ford Australia goes miniature with Beachkhana 1.0 video

Tue, Mar 3 2015

Ken Block's Gymkhana franchise may have started with Subaru, but it's most closely associated with Ford, which the rally star joined way back in 2010. That fruitful partnership has spawned a number of Gymkhanas, and Block even showed up to help introduce the new Focus RS. To honor this, Ford Australia has come up with an adorable parody (for lack of a better word), starring the hero Sun Block. Rather than a full-scale rally Fiesta piloted by a Vegemite-munching Aussie, though, Ford of Oz has gone tiny for its tribute. Really tiny. The product is Beachkhana 1.0 – Wild on the Beaches of Australia, is a funky little stop-motion feature using tiny, 1:43-scale cars in much the same manner as Mr. Block drives his Fiesta rally car. It even pokes some fun at Mercedes-Benz's hilarious Magic Body Control ad. Check it out.
