This is a rare 1971 matching numbers Torino Cobra. VIN# 1A38C227363. The engine was rebuilt in 2001 and not been plated since 2003 where it has been in storage until now.
It`s board 30 over and stroked to a powerful 460, with 460 crank, triple springs, hydraulic lifters, with custom grind special order camshaft. awesome at idle!!
850 Holley double pumper, roller rockers, brass guided valves, msd ignition , 3500 stall converter, 9inch ford rear end with 4:11 gears.. I have the original factory gears(3:90 I believe), hi volume oil pump, long tube headers/each pipe equal length to the collectors, ...flow masters, extra rear windshield with defrost wires, extra drive shaft , extra grill parts and corner body moldings, Detroit locker new in a box, new interior carpet, new weather stripping and rubber moldings, windshield clips and other fasteners, two sets of cobra stickers for different paint colors, shop manuals, original ford paint chip color chart, original sales brochures, original air foiled new antenna, wiring diagrams, etc...
Currently has a blown head gasket. Should have used steel, my bad.
Worst part of the car is top half of the firewall. The previous owner whom I have known for 28 years, had it parked on his driveway under a tree in Springfield Virginia. Leaves accumulated between the windshield and sat on the top part of the firewall which caused it to rot. The bottom vertical part of the firewall is solid.
Other than that, the floors have never been done..rest of the car is solid. In restored shape, this car is worth good money! Or just fix the head gasket and roar with it for now!
The 71` 429cj w/shaker/louvers is rare!
paid $2200us for rear window louvers.. took three years to appear on eBay.
The shaker hood scoop shown was modified to fit the offenhouser high-rise manifold..and the 850 Holley dbl pumper... I have a complete shaker assembly in a box purchased for $2300us on eBay.
NOTE:The louvers and shaker, and other items, may be excluded from the deal if need be to accommodate an offer.... otherwise they are considered included with the offer.
The paint and the interior is not original.
By DSO sticker it had vermillion (red) interior, and light pewter metallic on the body from factory....the interior is currently black, it has buckets,,,, you take it from there....

Get a taste of Ford GT ownership from Dust Devils
Thu, Jan 1 2015It seems that the automotive world might be right on the cusp of getting some kind of follow-up to the Ford GT. It might not be called the GT or even use the coupe's retro look, but rumors point to such a beast being on the way. If the future halo model can inspire as much adoration among fans as the previous ones, then the Blue Oval is sure to have another winner on its hands. To get idea just how closely GT owners are bonded to their cars, take a ride with the participants in the ninth Ford GT National Rally in this short documentary titled Dust Devils. The owners convened with over 80 of the retro supercars in Las Vegas, NV, to admire the coupes and give them a workout on the desert roads. It's especially nice to see the drivers of these limited production Fords unafraid to take their cars to the track and stretch their legs a little. Related Gallery 2016 Honda Accord Coupe V6: Quick Spin View 25 Photos There's just something about the shape of the GT and the GT40 before it that gets everything right aesthetically. The long, low-slung look is simultaneously menacing and lithe, and the growl from the latest model's supercharged V8 is nothing to complain about either. Get just the slightest taste of what it's like to have one of these halo Fords in this clip, from the people that love them the most.

Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.
Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.
