Napa, California, United States
This is a 1929 ford on an original 32 frame. has original dropped 32 I beam front axle, rear cross member is tubular since it now has coil overs in the rear. Has original 32 grille shell, newly fabricated aluminum 3 piece hood and deck lid. The body is bare metal and you can see all the hot rod body mods and lead filler from the 50's. Interior- reproduction WWII aircraft seats, 40 Ford dash shortened and installed in the 50's. Engine-350/350 with single 4brl edelbrock carb. History- I have been told that this car was built in So-Cal and raced on the dry lakes. I was told that It was green with an American flag hood when it raced. As I removed the paint, I found Yellow, Green and White paint. There are several tells the car was a race car and or hot rod back in the day, such as the driver door is arc welded shut, the 40 dash is arc welded in, the passenger door hinges are streamlined, and there is a lot of lead filler on the body. also there are 2 small patch panels behind the seats where there used to be a roll bar, and I was told by several old timers that what appears to be an old aviation style gas cap on the pass side rear 1/4, is most likely a filler cap for a water ballast for high speed runs I.E Dry lakes / Bonneville. The car currently has a Steve Sellers Hallock windshield and ill sell it with track tires in the front, or standard biasply tires. This car is Fast Loud and a Ton of Fun. Get it in time for summer. |

This 2,000-hp Mustang is in serious need of wheelie bars
Tue, 25 Feb 2014The Ford Mustang on the right is drag racing with the standard technique. The Mustang on the left, driven by David Measell, is using a new "rear bumper only" technique that evidently surprised everyone at the South Georgia Motorsports Park strip - including Measell.
Measell said his outfit just bought the car the week before the event, noting that it has more than 2,000 horsepower. Speaking of his "flying" run, Measell said, "We turned it up to dip on down," by which he meant they turned up the power in order to get his time down. Turns out all that power and all that traction sent the nose straight up into the air almost as soon as the race began.
He told an interviewer afterward that this was his first race in a "regular car" since he normally drives a pro-mod. "I like my wheelie bars," he concluded. You can see how he got there in the video below.
Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Ford has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit, the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van. Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.
