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....

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.

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
