You are looking at an amazing example of a tribute to the racing legend Fireball Roberts. 

This car is started it's life in Florida and now lives in NC. It was rust free and solid before the restoration and has been kept in doors ever since. We made every effort to maintain the theme of a period correct convertable series race car while making this car a street legal driver. This car has:

A rebuilt correct 312 Y block motor.

Correct 3 speed column shifter. We replace the trasmission with a 67 mustang full synchro transmission for much better drivability and endurance.

It has a 4 barrell Holly carb, an electronic ignition under the cap, rebuilt brakes, hidden head lights, a push button ignition system, complete dyna-mat insulation and sound proofing.

We preserved or replace all the chrome and preserved all the body molding. We added air controlled rear shocks, and installed a period correct roll cage was installed.

The windsheild is perfect and there are no major defects anywhere. This car is not perfect but it's pretty cool to say the least. Everywhere we go the car draws huge crowds and the stories start from there. We recently had the car in Daytona for speed week, it was a hit and will be featured in thier yearly catalog for racing history. We had many racing legends come by and visit and even had them sign the trunk lid of the car.

This is NOT a stressed sale so please don't be silly with offers or expectaions. We went to great lengths to make this car fun, drivable and a tribute to a legend. We won't give it away!

After you have done your research, looked over all the pictures you can contact me for questions. (910-262-0680). Please don't ask the reserve price because I won't share, if you like it then just make a bid.  We own several cars and understand how hot the market is and where it's going. Cars are a great investment and something you can enjoy while they appreciate. Good luck bidding but please understand, we won't accept PayPal other than the deposit. We will however help with shipping at the buyers expense.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.

Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.

Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.
