This beautiful T-bucket is amazing to drive, very fast and gets tons of attention. Like any street rod that's driven, this one isn't perfect. It is very good though, and it wouldn't take much to bring her up to show condition. Unfortunately, I'm losing the use of my garage, and that's forcing me to put this super-fun car up for sale.

The motor is a pre-Vortec 350 Chevy crate motor with a mild street cam. It's been assembled with a Weiand 8004 intake, Edelbrock 1406, Edelbrock Pro-Flo air filter, Holley mechanical fuel pump, Holley regulator and Flame Thrower HEI. The transmission is a TH400 professionally rebuilt by Eagle Transmission just last year. The rear end is a Ford 8" with 2.79 gears. The shifter and parking brake are Lokar.

In addition to the transmission, the following items were installed/replaced within the last 12 months:

Mustang II front brake calipers
Speedway front shocks
SO-CAL steering damper
Champion spark plugs
Taylor Spiro-Pro wires
Flame-Thrower distributor cap and rotor
Anchor motor mounts (USA)
Spicer U-joints
National real axle seals
Energy Suspension rear radius rod bushings
Carb rebuilt w/Edelbrock kit

Wheels and tires were also purchased recently and are almost new:

Weld Racing Pro Star 15 x 5 / Nexen 165/80R15
Weld Racing Pro Star 15 x 12 / Mickey Thompson 29 x 15 R15LT

Ergonomics in this car are unusually good. I'm 6' / 200 lbs, and I can drive it comfortably. That's not typical of these cars, especially with a standard size body. Many T-buckets are set up in such a way that I can't even sit in them, let alone drive. The last photo shows how well I fit in the car. Other nice touches include the fact that the battery and fusebox are located under the seat for easy access. The transmission crossmember is a bolt-on. Unlike many of these cars, you won't have to pull the motor to swap torque converters. Radius rods, drag link, tie rod and windshield support rods are all stainless steel. Fuel mileage is approximately in the low 20s, so the 10-gallon tank provides a good cruising range if you don't have a lead foot. This car also has seat belts to meet state safety requirements.

Bugs: This car is equipped with Intellitronix digital gauges. They all work fine except the speedometer, which sometimes indicates a few MPH when the car is standing still with the motor running. I have also seen the speedometer black out once in a while. I suspect this is due to a loose ground somewhere, but haven't had time to look into it. The gauge manufacturer is still in business if you need support, or the entire cluster could simply be replaced or updated.

This car has a clear Texas title as a 1923 Ford Roadster. State inspection and registration were recently renewed.

CAUTION!
These cars have a high HP to weight ratio, and they are very fast. Even with one like this that corners well and generally accelerates in a straight line, it's easy for an inexperienced driver to get into trouble. Be sure you want a machine like this and that you have all required permissions from other family members before you bid!!

Please ask all questions before bidding.

The car is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Car is sold as-is with no warranty or refunds.

Pickup and transport of the vehicle and all associated costs are the buyer's responsibility.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show

Hennessey unleashes 2015 HPE700 supercharged Ford Mustang

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Thanks to the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat there is a new magic number in the muscle car world - 707. To raise eyebrows these days in the power war, a vehicle needs to match or preferably exceed that palindromic figure. The tuners over at Hennessey took a look at it for their 2015 HPE700 Mustang and decided to go one better. Well, ten actually, because they bestowed their latest creation with 717 horsepower and 632 pound-feet of torque.
The HPE 700 Mustang takes the standard Mustang GT with its 5.0-liter V8 and turns up the power a few hundred notches with a Roots-type supercharger running at 7.25 psi. Hennessey claims that this boosted 'Stang can rocket to 60 miles per hour in about 3.6 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 131 mph. For those keeping score at home, those figures are very similar to Challenger Hellcat.
To cope with all of the added boost, the engine gets a high-flow throttle body, upgraded injectors, new fuel pump, stainless steel exhaust and Hennessey's calibration for the engine management. Pricing for the package is $59,500, including the base 2015 Mustang GT, but the company is limiting production to 500 units for the 2015 model year. Founder John Hennessey told Autoblog that he has already received about a dozen orders for them.

Ford Tourneo ready for duty in Connect, Courier and Custom flavors [w/videos]

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Ford was relatively quiet at the Geneva Motor Show, but it did take the opportunity to roll out its new family of Tourneo vans: the Courier, Connect, Grand Connect and Custom. As the passenger version of the Transit cargo vans, the new range of Tourneo models vary from the B-segment Courier up to the fullsize Custom. The Connect and Grand Connect are based on the redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect.
With an overall length just three inches longer than the Fiesta hatchback, the Tourneo Courier seats four to five passengers, and it offers a choice of three engines: the 1.0-liter EcoBoost or two small diesels. Like the 2014 Transit Connect was saw in Paris last year, the Tourneo Connect comes in a five-seat configuration while the Grand Connect can seat seven. Finally, the Tourneo Custom seats up to nine passengers, and it is available in two lengths up to 210 inches long putting it just six inches shorter than a standard-length E-Series van and about a foot longer than the Explorer.
