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.

Ford sued by Versata over alleged software trade secret theft
Thu, Jul 16 2015Automakers are routinely subject to intellectual property and patent disputes, whether over design similarities or pieces of tech. Ford is now facing a lawsuit for alleged IP theft over a piece of software from a company called Versata, and the business wants $1 billion from the Blue Oval for the violation. With such huge amount of money at stake, the legal situation is already getting complicated. According to The Detroit Free Press, Versata's software is designed to help automakers improve product development by making sure all of a car's countless components work together. The company and Ford had a contract for the system for many years, and they were negotiating an extension at the end of 2014. However, the deal fell through, and the Blue Oval ended the two business' arrangement. Making the legal situation especially tricky is that Ford developed and patented its own software for the same task. The automaker then filed a lawsuit in Michigan to have the court check whether the program violated Versata's IP, according to The Detroit Free Press. Later, the software company registered a lawsuit in Texas and alleged the Blue Oval stole proprietary code. Versata has asked for an injunction against Ford and restitution. "Ford's patented software does not use or infringe any Versata intellectual property and Versata has provided no basis for their claims against us," the automaker said in a statement to Autoblog. "We are confident that we will ultimately prevail in this case and we look forward to the opportunity to present our evidence at trial." With both sides in dispute, that leaves Ford pushing for a hearing in Michigan and Versata for Texas. According to The Detroit Free Press, it could be at least a year before a trial, if not longer. Of course in the meantime, the two sides could conceivably reach a settlement, and the whole issue would disappear.

2015 F-150 launch to curb Ford profits?
Thu, 30 Jan 2014Ford is making a big bet on aluminum with its new 2015 F-150, and it's possible that the decision will hurt the company financially, at least in the short term. After earning a record $8.6 billion in 2013, the Blue Oval does not expect to set another record in 2014. According to Automotive News, that's "largely attributable to F Series," says Bob Shanks, Ford's Chief Financial Officer.
To retool for the new F-150, Ford will idle its Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan for 11 weeks and the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri for 2 weeks. "3 of the 13 overall weeks occur during what normally is our summer shutdown timeframe," said Mike Levine, Ford Trucks Communication Manager, in an email to Autoblog. The extra 10 weeks will be preparing for the more aluminum-intensive construction for the trucks and will mean over 2 months of no F-150s being made. For comparison's sake, Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne just confirmed that the 200 plant in Sterling Heights, MI will be down for 30 days to retool for the new model, but obviously there are many more F-150 production variables than for the midsize sedan.
Levine notes that Ford is already running three shifts at both plants, and says the automaker has plans to ensure that there is adequate supply of the full-size pickups during the retooling process. The company does not want to suffer a shortage of the vehicle that accounted for 31-percent of its 2013 US sales and an even bigger percentage of its profits.
