1930 Ford Five-Window Coupe "All Steel" car! "KRYPTONITE!" Please give all 100+ pics a chance to load, including the video... thanks! Fresh from the pages of Deluxe Car Kulture, Rod & Custom, and Rod & Kulture magazines, is this '30 Five Window ALL STEEL Street Rod. This 1930 Ford Five-Window is called "Kryptonite" in the show world, she's virtually a brand new build. Already in magazines and has won plenty of trophies.... This is an amazing car that was built by some very talented professional builders in Texas back in 2010. With only 1,500 miles, it is like a newly built car from the 60's that been fully sorted! That era was the inspiration for this awesome show winning coupe. Let's get to the technical details of this fine coupe: The steel body has been chopped 2.5", and channeled 6" inches giving it that BITCH'N stance! It has a one of a kind, hand fabricated firewall, a full metal roof skin, a very 60's inspired dimpled and drilled visor (which is completely molded into the body), and a cool motorcycle gas cap. The Radiator shell is from a 32 Ford and it has a handmade grille insert. I still have all the door pulls if you like that looks, I didn't care for it that much. The custom Candy-apple Green & Pearl White paint with custom scallops and pin stripes are ultra-show quality and is CRAZY eye popping! The killer pinstriping is buried deep in the clear coat, go ahead - wax it up, don't worry about distorting the stripes! I know you'd agree; the results speak for themselves. The motor is a classic early 60's Buick 401 "Nail-head" torque MONSTER V-8. Some features include a Drag Star long intake manifold, SIX Stromberg '97' carbs, and Sanderson lake headers (with baffles). The matching painted engine is dressed up with Fenton Valve and Sparkplug covers. Each carb has been adorned with matching air-cleaners (very Cal Custom!). The car sounds insane and runs fantastic! It's really not that loud when cruising. An MSD and Pertronix electronic ignition set up fires the powerful Buick mill. Other items include an electric fuel pump with kill switch, and a hidden battery kill switch that aids in theft prevention. A freshly built Buick Turbo 400 3-spd automatic transmission feeds the 80's monte SS GM 10 bolt posi rear end which is running 3:08's. Noting some of the detail in this car - the bell housing is even pin striped since you can see it from the top! Nothing was overlooked in this build... The modified Ford frame features heavily striped '32 rails, a front 4 link suspension, chrome shocks and a T-Bucket Style coil spring/shock setup is out back. The wheels are classic 15x5 and 15x8 chrome-reverse with cutom cone caps. They are wrapped in classic bias ply 6.40x15 Firestone wide whites in front with 8.20x15 wide white "cheater slicks" on the rear. The front brakes are DISC with Buick drum covers and chrome backing plates, the rear are heavy duty drums, GM std issue. The interior has some very unique touches. The aluminum bomber seats with engine turned seatbacks and custom fiberglass surround makes it truly one of a kind. I get comments on them ALL THE TIME! The seat upholstery is georgous - pleated pearl white vinyl, with matching door panels, headliner, and floor/kick panels . The metal dash is filled with real nice, vintage style gauges. The shifter is a custom Lokar unit. I can just imagine how much time and money went into this one of a kind rod. This final results screams 60's show car with the today's technology - it even has LED tail lights! NOTE - THIS IS MY PERSONAL CAR - IT'S NOT A CONSIGNMENT! It's titled in MY name and has a small loan on it, so JJ Best will need to be paid before they release the title.

I encourage prospective buyers, their buyer's agents or inspectors to come and see this car in person as pictures DO NOT do this car justice!

Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.
Ford UK exec says EVs are a good way to lose a fortune
Wed, Mar 19 2014Stateside, Ford execs are quick to point out the automaker's expansion in the plug-in sector. And despite a minimal presence in the pure EV space, the Blue Oval has been promoting its plug-in vehicles as part of an overall effort to boost fleetwide fuel economy. Too bad the company's UK chief didn't get the memo. There's "no point in us getting behind [EVs] and losing a fortune" - Ford's Mark Ovenden Mark Ovenden, speaking rather frankly at the Geneva Motor Show recently, said he didn't have real high hopes for substantial electric-vehicle adoption and said the company's money was better spent on smaller gas- and diesel-powered engines, the UK's Daily Mail says. Ovenden said of EV development that there was "no point in us getting behind it and losing a fortune," adding that his goal was to have variants of Ford's EcoBoost engine in 40 percent of the company's vehicles. Ford has about a 15-percent market share in the UK. The UK doesn't appear to be as kind to the EV as the US. Nissan last year cut the price of its all-electric Leaf there last year by about $4,000, while the company rolled out a promotion for the Leaf late last year, including allowing Leaf drivers to borrow a gas- or diesel-powered Nissan for free for as long as two weeks a year during the first three years of Leaf ownership. In the US, Ford sold just 229 Ford Focus Electrics during the first two months of the year after moving 1,738 units in 2013.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid
Thu, 02 May 2013No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.
