This is an amazingly beautiful all-steel car showing no use. This car is 99% perfect. Building a car this nice would cost $100,000 to $150,000. This car is indoor show quality in every way.It was first built 60’s style with whitewalls, white top, and white interior by the original/owner and builder Randy G. of WV. He possesses a great deal of knowledge about this car. See SUMMARY below for links to the magazine article and pics of the car’s original 60’s style build. It was redone in approximately 2013 by Ender’s Hot Garage of Montgomery, TX for Erica Enders, the 2014 NHRA Pro Stock World Champion. Erica Enders and her sister Courtney were chronicled in the 2003 Disney movie “Right On Track”. This movie was the fact-based drama of the Enders sisters’ battle to compete and win in the male-dominated sport of NHRA racing with the inspiration of their father, Gregg Enders. I purchased this car from Gregg Enders. I have the clear title in my name. It shows Gregg Enders as the previous owner. I also have a copy of the previous title with Gregg Enders as the owner. Of course, I had to relinquish the title with Gregg Enders as owner when I titled the car in my name. Upon redoing the interior Enders Hot Rod Garage had the front panel inside the trunk stitched with the Erica Enders logo of 2 opposing letter “E”s.The all-steel body was built by Kenny's Rod & Kustom of Newton Falls, Ohio and is based on a Hot Rods & Horsepower body per the original owner/builder. Hot Rods & Horsepower was affiliated with and did work for Dearborn Deuce. I am certain the body is all steel because I have gone over entire body with a magnet. This car also has a 40 Ford-style dash, Duvall windshield, stainless grille, shaved door handles, hidden door hinges, removable soft top in tan Hartz cloth. The paint color is Chrysler Electric Blue. It is a bright-blue metallic showing only minor scratches from installing/removing the top and misaligned door hinges. I have re-aligned both doors. Scratches are only in six areas: top rear corner of both doors, near tabs where top mounts, and in front of the doors just above the frame (probably caused by letting the doors just swing open). If you are careful and have help, there is no reason to scratch the car installing or removing the top. Simple and clean pinstriping in tan and light blue at belt line and on trunk lid. CHASSIS: Fatman chassis purchased and assembled by the original owner/builder along with Kenny’s Rod & Kustom. Pete & Jakes all-chrome front suspension and shocks with tubular axle and polished billet Wilwood disc brakes. Rear end housing is a fully polished STAINLESS STEEL Ford 9” with an aluminum 3rd member and 3.56 gears. The rear end is located by Polished stainless 2-link bars with a stainless panhard bar. It is suspended by aluminum coil-over shocks and Aerospace billet discs. Brakes and steering are manual but function great in a car this light. 15” real Halibrands fully polished on both sides with knock off covers. BF Goodrich 285/70’s on the rear and 195/65’s on the front. The entire chassis and floorpan have been painted the same bright blue as the body. It is as clean and nice as you would expect of any show-winning ride. ENGINE/TRANS: 468 BB Chevy with polished Edelbrock Perfomer RPM heads. Dual polished Edelbrock carbs on a coated Edelbrock intake. Mild hydraulic cam. Cam specs unknown but it is not too wild and not too mild. It has the just-right mean and tough idle but purrs nicely at any speed. Jet-Hot coated and baffled headers are loud but not too loud to enjoy your ride. Fully automatic TH350 with a mild performance torque converter. Just put it in drive and enjoy the ride.INTERIOR: High-grade leather-look vinyl with high-end carpet in cockpit and trunk. Metal floor mats were fabricated in aluminum to improve fit and finish. They are covered in the same high-end carpet as the floor pan. Radio is mounted under the seat. Engraved aluminum steering wheel mounted on a polished Ididit column. Steering wheel has a quick-release mount to remove the steering wheel. This makes entry and exit easier for drivers who eat as good as I do. Trunk panels are easily removable to access battery and fuse block. ITEMS NEEDED: Vega steering is a little loose. It needs to be adjusted. Radio antenna does not seem to be hooked up but it is there hidden behind the seat. Speedometer does not work.

Ford Mustang GT350, GT350R order guide leaks online

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Nary a day after the end of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show media days, a bombshell has been dropped in the form of the order guides for the new Shelby GT350 and GT350R. A draft of the complete guide for both track weapons popped up in the forums of Mustang6G, offering the car's biggest fans the most detailed look yet at how the new models can be outfitted. Arguably the most notable news is that Ford lists both cars not as 2016 models, but as 2015s. Wearing the codes 900A and 920A for the GT350 and GT350R, respectively, Ford lists eight available colors, including standard Mustang shades, like Oxford White, Race Red and Competition Orange, as well as a pair of exclusive hues, in Avalanche Gray and Shadow Black. Notably, neither vehicle can be optioned in the gorgeous Liquid Blue of the GT350R show car. Stripe packages are aplenty on the hottest Mustangs, with black, white and blue stripes available on both models. The R cars, though, will be distinguishable by red accents on its optional stripe groups. The standard model will feature an ebony interior, while the high-performance 'Stang will have an ebony cabin with red accents. Aesthetics aside, this order guide gives us the deepest look yet at the available equipment on both models. Not surprisingly, the options list is quite small, with the standard GT350 offering just two packages, racing stripes and a black roof (which we bet will be mutually exclusive with the stripe jobs). The standard car's Technology Pack adds MagneRide, "heavy-duty" front springs, navigation with Sync 3, leather-wrapped, climate-controlled power seats, satellite radio, dual-zone climate control and selectable driving modes. The Track Pack, meanwhile, adds the same driver-selectable modes, MagneRide and the stiffened front springs as the Tech Pack, along with coolers for the engine oil, trans and diff and a strut-tower brace. These two packs are mutually exclusive. Of course, if you're in the market for the GT350R, your only option is the Electronics Pack, which basically adds features deleted by your high-performance trim, such as a stereo and climate control. On top of that, you'll get Sync 3 with navigation and satellite radio. Head over to the Mustang6G forums for a look at the entire order guide.

How Ford made its 2015 Ford Mustang safer for toupee wearers [w/video]

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

Ford is ready to tell the story of its 2015 Mustang Convertible, the can't-miss bits being the easier, quicker and quieter roof operation, a more robust roof build for a coupe-like cabin noise, more trunk space, better visibility and reduced in-cabin buffeting. The top release system has been completely redesigned with a single, center-mounted latch on the windshield frame instead of the dual latches of before. The driver can now release the roof without having to lean over into the passenger space, after which the top goes down fully automatically with the press of a button. Ford doesn't say how long it takes to stow, but it's apparently done in half as much time as before, so figure around 8 seconds.
The roof uses a five-bow structure, with the fabric outer and full inner headliner sandwiching ten millimeters of insulation. Detailing work on the top has eliminated "unsightly folds" in the corners when the roof is up and made it more compact when down; its Z-fold assembly is 6.7 inches lower than before at its highest point when put down. Ford says the new electric drive internals make less noise when in operation, and the fully-finished droptop look is achieved with snap-in caps that flank the rear seating and stow in the trunk when not in use (the outgoing Mustang's top was higher and the front when folded and always looked like it was catching air and creating drag).
The compact roof and newly independent rear suspension setup in back means liberated trunk space, 11.4 cubic feet ready to swallow golf bags and tourist swag. You can read a lot more about it in the press release below, check it out in the short video of running footage and learn about the aerodynamic improvements made to the entire Mustang lineup that decrease drag and increase fuel economy.

2015 Ford Transit

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

As a segment, fullsize vans are stealth-fighter invisible on most consumers' radar. Visit a dealership for any of the four brands that offer them and you'll be lucky to find even one on display. These are commercial vehicles primarily, even more so than pickup trucks. Vans are the shuttles for plumbers, caterers, carpenters, concrete layers, masons, electricians, florists and flooring, and a huge part of this country's productivity is accomplished using them. At the moment, Ford is the 800-pound gorilla in that room - fully 41 percent of commercial vehicles wear a Blue Oval. So when Ford announced three years ago it would be ditching its commercial bread-and-butter E-Series, it meant the Transit that would be replacing the Econoline had huge, 53-year-old shoes to fill.
We were still a bit nostalgic about Econoline vans going away until going directly from the Transit first drive in Kansas City to an E-350 airport shuttle. Climb up through the Econoline's tiny double doors and bang your head on the opening, crouch all the way to your seat then enjoy a loud, rattle-prone, creaky, harsh ride on beam-hard seats while struggling to see out the low windows. This is an experience nearly every traveler has had. By comparison, the Transits we'd just spent two days with were every bit of the four decades better they needed to be. It cannot be understated just how much better the Transit is in every single way. The load floor is barely more than knee high. There's a huge side door, and hitting your head on a door opening is nearly impossible. Stand up all the way if you're under six-foot, six-inches - no more half-hunching down the aisle. There are windows actually designed to be looked out of. The ride is buttery smooth, no booming vibration from un-restrained metal panels and no squeaks. Conversations can be held at normal levels rather than yelling over the roar of an ancient V8. The seats are comfortable. The AC is cold. There are cupholders.
Enough anecdote-laying, what's in a Transit? We're talking about a very fullsized unibody van that's enjoyed a 49-year history in Ye Olde Europe. This latest iteration is part of the "One Ford" initiative, so it was designed as a global offering from the get-go, eschewing the body-on-frame construction the E-Series has used since 1975. Instead, the Transit integrates a rigid ladder frame into an overall frame construction made of high-strength cold-rolled and boron steel. The suspension is a simple but well-tuned Macpherson strut array up front with a rear solid axle and leaf springs.
