This 1956 Victoria Hot Rod Gasser has been hibernating in storage since 1968! The car was built in the early 1960's, and is a "True Original" Gasser, not just screwed together last month. The car was street raced in Milwaukee on Wisconsin Avenue, and raced at Great Lakes Dragaway from 1961 to 1968, and has been stored since. The car was ran with a 312 Tri-Power and a B&M Hydro-Stick Transmission. When the owner/builder died it was left to his son who had no interest in cars. The 312 and Hyrdo-Stick was out of the car and freshened at the time of the owners death, but stolen from his garage and has never resurfaced. A friend of mine bought the car complete, less engine and transmission, and stored it all of this time. I purchased the car from him, and have a 390 long block, Top-Loader transmission, Mickey Thompson cross ram and valve covers, which ARE INCLUDED in the sale, along with additional parts. The old time "Pie Crust" slicks and Fenton front wheels with the original "Trac-Action F78-15 Front Runner" tires are still in place! The period correct "Rupert" safety belts (Harness) are also in place with July of 1965 dates on them! Truly a very rare original find; there can't be too many left like this. There is so much original "cool stuff" about this time capsule that I will do my best to describe it the best I can.
The Victoria body was originally black and white two-tone, and later got the 1960's "Psychedelic" blue with gold fades. The body appears to be super solid with no visible rot in the floors or body. There has been rockers panels replaced apparently back when the car was painted. The patina is fantastic, but with any 1960's lacquer paint job, it shows cracking and surface rust in areas. The trim is great, especially considering age. The interior has custom GM front and rear seats - 60's correct, with custom door and rear panels; the steel trim was chromed and looks great. The dash is incredible! It has a: Tachometer, Motor Minder, Trans Oil Temp, Battery Voltage, Oil Pressure, Engine Oil Temp, Water Temp, Differential Temp, Cold Tank Temp (I'll get to that in a minute!), and a Shift Light that lights up and says "Let's Make Love"! The carpet is good, I wouldn't change a thing inside. Here is where it gets good. The builder/owner of the car raced it at the track and on the street, so he added some groovy features to make this possible. There is a pump mounted behind the radiator position that pumped transmission and differential oil through the coolers in front! But what gets better is that under the package tray is an ice/water tank that has an electric pump, that, with the flick of a toggle switch, pumped ice cold water through aluminum tubing inside the air cleaner to cool the intake charge when racing! The car also has big fuel line throughout that was apparently cooled by the feature. Looking closely under the hood you will see a fresh air duct installed on the driver's side, just like the factory part on the passenger's side, that used to feed air to the heater motor. Put them both together and run them into an air-cleaner bonnet and you have ram air! Scroll through the pictures and you will see the true "Milwaukee" and "Polish" background the original builder when you read the caption on the core support panel! Just great history in the original 60's "Gasser"! The tow hooks were mandatory and are still in place. The innovative traction devices on the rear of the car are something to behold, along with the mandatory "SOCK IT TO ME" barely visible, painted on the rear end housing. Well that's about all my fingers can type. I want it to be understood that the engine and transmission included with this car ARE NOT installed, and that THE CAR DOES NOT RUN AND DRIVE. It will take mechanical work to make it operational. My son and I Drag Race in a very competitive class, and costs to do so force me to part with this car. This is the one I always wanted, but racing with my son before he is married and becomes a family man is important to me. PLEASE UNDERSTAND the winner of this auction MUST follow payment directions, and the sale must be completed within 7 days of auction end.

2016 Ford Focus RS mule spotted on US soil
Tue, 17 Jun 2014Okay Ford, this is what we like to see. One of our intrepid spy photographers has captured a vehicle that we weren't even sure would see the light of day - the next Focus RS. While this is pretty clearly a mule based on the current Focus ST, as our spy points out, there are a number of giveaways about this hot hatch's true nature.
Indication number one that all is not right with this Focus is the heavily camo'd front fascia, which has been completely reconfigured for duty on the RS. It boasts significantly larger grilles that are meant to accommodate what is likely the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder that's destined for the 2015 Ford Mustang. Considering that, then, we can expect around 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque from the hottest of Foci, although it's entirely possible that the production model could climb even higher, to around 330 hp.
The front fascia tweaks are complemented in the back by a modified rear bumper, which fails at hiding a pair of exhaust tips quite unlike the standard Focus ST's center-exit exhaust. Other obvious changes include the wheel/tire/brake package on this particular car. Larger 19-inch wheels are shod in super-sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in 235/35/19 while the brakes feature what we think are four-piston calipers, possibly from Brembo, up front.
Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going
Tue, 13 May 2014Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.
Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.
