Here for your consideration is a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 in the rare Candy Apple Red exterior with Red interior combination. It is equipped with a great running "M" code 351 4V engine and the infamous toploader 4-speed transmission. It also has power steering, power disc brakes, factory tachometer, and fold down rear seat. As you can see from the photos, this car is very original and unaltered under the hood. The carb is the original 4300 and works great with no leaks. It can set for months at a time and cranks easily. This car is running and driving quite well now. I drive it locally. When I got the car, the only major component not working was the charging system. I installed a voltage regulator and alternator and it performs flawlessly now. The power steering operates smoothly as do the power brakes. It has a Hurst shifter in place of the original. This car needs a complete restoration, but since you can drive the car, you know that the mechanicals are all good and working. It has the typical Mustang rust issues to be addressed as follows: floor pan repair, lower door corners, taillight panel, trunk dropoffs, lower door corners, lower quarters behind wheels. The torque boxes are solid on the bottoms with only the ends needing to be fixed. Front frame rails are good, right rear rail is good, left rail has a bit of swelling that needs to be fixed, but is not bad enough to affect safety of driving the car. The pictures should give you a good idea of the condition of this car. This Mach 1, with it's rare color combo is definitely worth the time and effort required to restore. It is a car that you can also enjoy while you restore it. The original Mach 1 14" wheels were on the car when I got it, but the tires were bad, so I put these 15" Magnum 500 wheels with BF Goodrich radials on it to drive. You can have either set of tires and wheels, but only one set is included with the auction. Here is the door data tag information:

Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.
Hennessey Ford GT sets 267.6-MPH record at Texas Mile [w/videos]
Mon, 25 Mar 2013The record-setting Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT we showed you at this time last year headed back to the Texas Mile and managed to bring home yet another record. As you may recollect, last year saw Mark Heidraker's machine sprint to a record 257.7 mph thanks to propulsion from its twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8. The big mill sucks down race gas, and this year the creation pulled off a 267.6-mph run over the weekend. That feat set a new record for the event. Something tells us neither Heidraker nor Hennessey are done squeezing more thrust from this machine.
This particular Ford GT has already gone through a number of permutations. Hennessey started by tweaking the factory supercharger set up before abandoning the blower in favor of two turbos. Since then, the crew has poked and prodded it to coerce as much grunt as possible out of the car. We expect Hennessey will probably come out with a video of the record-setting run shortly, but in the meantime, you can see a couple of videos of the car's runs in Texas below (one of which actually captures the record run). Enjoy.
Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins. Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Oval could go back to France for the 50th anniversary of that performance and show it can still compete in international endurance racing? Actually, the latest rumors indicate that could be exactly the case, and the car taking that checkered flag could be another revival of the Ford GT.
As the rumblings go, Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others.
It's not all about racing, though. If you win on Sunday, you want something to be able to sell on Monday. The revived GT is reportedly still a mid-engine supercar, but the exact engine is unclear. It's possible that it could even be shown or announced at the Detroit auto show in January, according to Motor Trend.
