Original factory Ford Aire Suspension car - 1 of less than 20 retracts ever built, may even be as low as 9.

Pulled this car from a barn where it sat for over 15 yrs with the body suspended off the ground from the ceiling.

car is originally from the spokane washington area and shows it with how solid the metal on the car is.
  • there is some rust on the right rear 1/4 panel and rocker panels. pretty typical for the age.  
  • the floors,inner panels and 1/4 panels are mint. 
  • Trunk lid, doors, roof and hood all in great condition. 
  • the fenders have some rust near the headlights, but these are very repairable fenders compared to many others i have owned and seen.  
  • the engine is the correct 1958 352 4bbl. 
  • the transmission is a correct cruise-omatic
  • there is one rear power window motor missing
  • the compressor for the AIRE Ride suspension is missing. the reserve tank is in great condition and bolted to the passenger inner fender. there are many solenoids and valves still on the frame
  • the recall was never completed on this car from Ford so there are quite a few AIRE Ride pieces left, and the rear trailing arms and coil springs are still there. i have never seen one of these cars without leaf spring suspension until now. 
  • the roof system is complete although motors and limit switches need to be gone through
  • front and rear seats are in the car
this car is extremely solid compared to others i have seen recently, and the factory Ford Aire suspension makes this a very car. you will save thousands on metal and body finish work with this car it is so clean.

Ken Block proves the new Ford Focus RS can handle that Gymkhana thing

Wed, Feb 4 2015

Oh Ford, you've already done a lot for us today, introducing the bound-for-America Focus RS and all. But then you go ahead and add onto this day of good news by handing a prototype of the new all-wheel-drive rocket to drift maestro Ken Block and capture it all on video. Block does his usual, slipping and sliding and drifting the over-315-horsepower hot hatchback through Ford's Cologne, Germany factory, before making a final and surprising appearance at the unveiling of the new RS to European media. It's all as entertaining as it sounds, and gives us plenty of chances to hear the 2.3-liter EcoBoost at full bellow. Related Video:

2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?

Saab-powered Ford is the most unlikely drift car we've seen

Tue, Jan 19 2016

Yes, you read that headline correctly. It's supposed to be a Saab-powered Ford, and not the other way around (although we fully support the notion of a Sonnet with a Flathead V8). Apparently, some lunatic in the UK took an ass-less 1953 Ford Anglia, paired it with a turbocharged Saab engine, and tuned the entire thing to go drifting. We like it. Called Urchfab, it's the subject of Carfection's (the blokes formerly known as XCar) latest video. Aside from looking like an extra from the British version of Mad Max, it has a problem with grip, in that there's just too much of it. This car is a fabber's dream, as we get to see its unnamed owner fashion new bits and bobs for the suspension before having an unfortunate encounter with a wall at Castle Combe. You can check out the full video up at the top of the page for a closer look at this monstrous Anglia. Related Video:
