This speedster is a genuine 1925 Ames-bodied Ford.

The F.A. Ames Company of Owensboro, Kentucky produced this very popular Model 815 Racer Body from 1915-1925 as a replacement body for the Model T Ford of the day that was "a favorite with red-blooded men- the young men who set the pace in every community- the young men who like snap, style and speed."

It was ordered with the optional Double Panel Windshield and Water-tight Trunk.

True to the spirit of its purpose, this speedster is not just another delicate, cute little Ford speedster. There are plenty of those for sale out there if you want a namby-pamby parade car so you can putt around the block and wave at the neighbors.

But as you consider the following list of equipment, it will be very apparent to the discerning speedster fan that this thing is as they would have said in the early days of motoring, "a real Scorcher!" If driving this car doesn't put a smile on your face, I suggest that you should probably check to see if you have a pulse!

When the Chevrolet brothers introduced the Fronty Model R Cylinder Head in 1921, it absolutely astonished the racing world by its performance and dependability, winning practically every race it entered, including races at Indianapolis, Ft. Wayne, South Bend, Chicago, Graham, Texas and Ventura, Calif.

Qualifying in the 1923 Indy 500 at 86.92 MPH and defeating all the foreign entries such as Mercedes, Bugatti, etc. and many of the American entries, it demonstrated what a Ford car can really do when equipped with the Fronty head. The racing community of the day took notice.

The Model S-R 2-spark plug 2-carburetor head configuration like this speedster sports was brought out to "meet a demand of the fastest drivers for something faster than the regular Model R." With its dual Winfield Carbs and dual spark Mag, what a combination!

So here it is, the one you've been searching for all these years. How long would it take to locate correct period parts and assemble such a car? This is not a bunch of reproduction stuff made to look pretty. What we have here is the genuine article!

Very low mileage based on condition but unknown. Vehicle being sold by Bill of Sale.

Chip Foose tastefully enhances his personal Ford GT

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Typically, we'd expect a vehicle from 2006 to fall well short of a more modern vehicle, both in terms of performance and style. Of course, the Ford GT is not your average offering from the Bush era. That's doubly true when the 2006 GT in question belongs to one Chip Foose.
Purchased by his wife as a 50th birthday present, Foose is showing his custom, personalized GT at the 2014 SEMA Show. The 5.4-liter supercharged V8 breathes a bit easier thanks to a full Magnaflow Performance exhaust, but Foose's GT isn't all about the performance.
Instead, the car customizer extraordinaire has focused on tasteful aesthetic enhancement, tweaking the rear end by removing the bumper and trimming the frame extensions. The wheels, meanwhile, are one-off aluminum alloys, designed by Foose himself. Like the stripes, the wheels feature orange accenting.

Ford will keep Escape and MKC plant open an extra week to meet demand

Thu, Jun 8 2017

Crossovers keep selling like popular pastries, and for Ford, that means it needs to keep production going. The company announced that, rather than the usual two-week shutdown, its Louisville, Ky., assembly plant will be open for one of those weeks. The plant builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, which Ford reports have had record sales. According to Ford, Escape sales through May are up 3 percent, and MKC sales are up 10 percent compared with last year. In total, the Escape has sold about 130,000 units through May, and the MKC has sold around 11,000. Keeping the Louisville plant open will allow the company to build an additional 8,500 vehicles. Ford stated that all other assembly plants will continue with the two-week shutdown as scheduled.

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]

Sun, 20 Jan 2013

Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
