1965 Falcon " Barn Find " old Super Stock Drag Car - Last raced about 12 years ago. Owned and built by the same person for over 25 years. I bought this from the original owners Daughter. Over $30,000.00 total invested in the car. He built it using all the best parts available for the time. It ran in the 10's with a 289 in it. I have no times with the 351 that is presently in it . What you see in the photos is what you get . This is as honest as I can be about this car. I have never heard it run and spoke very little to the original owner before he died . He built a 351 windsor with Cleveland Roush intake and heads . It has roller rockers and a nice carb. It has line lock and a reverse pattern with manual valve body transmission. The shifter is rachet . The gauges and all electronics are wired and ready to go. It has a rev limiter and as usual electric fuel pump. It has Wildwood rack and pinion steering and disc brakes. The front end is tied so when the front wheels come off the ground the suspension doesn't travel too much. It was professionally back halved and even has a place to hook a parachute on the rear end housing . Nothing was spared on this car. It does show it's age and the fact it was sitting. It can easily be cleaned up and raced again. The fuel cell is dry and lines disconnected to keep the fuel from jelling. The tires are dry rotted. The interior is nice and all the hard work is done. It has a snorkle style hood that is fiberglass , as is the trunk. Prior owner would get it running once a year to keep things working. The car is being sold with " A BILL OF SALE ONLY " . It never had a title for the past 25 plus years and I bought it with a notarized bill of sale from the original owners Daughter.. I will give this to the new owner at the time of sale. Now is your chance to get into racing CHEAP .. It needs minor work but is a great deal for someone wanting to race. It is a time capsule of racing nostalgia. Cash only at time of pick up. Must be picked up within 10 days of sale. I will not accept Postal Money Orders. ONLY cash or certified cashiers checks. My phone number is 814-349-5875 for any questions . If it doesn't sell I will put it in the garage till I either race it or find someone who appreciates all the time and money the prior owner invested in it. I am retired and do not need to sell the car : so please no " Low Ballers " need call me about the car. I may be inclined to sell it as a roller but only for a " FAIR PRICE " . Thank you

2014 Ford Fiesta ST
Tue, 15 Oct 2013I'm not overly inclined to professional jealousy, as a rule. Sure, I go a bit green around the eyes when Ramsey draws the 911 GT3 trip to Weissach, Harley is tapped-in to drive a completely stunning Porsche 911 by Singer, or, you know, Drew Phillips gets to shoot a Lamborghini Veneno in the middle of a desert like some sort of sheik. I hate you guys...
Honestly though, one of the new car events that dug me the most, was when our Steven J. Ewing got to fling the Ford Fiesta ST around some hot corner of Europe. What goes around comes around, I suppose, as Mr. Ewing himself espoused an envious nature of the Focus ST trip that came before.
The good news in all this covetous intra-office behavior? All the cars mentioned, and specifically the Fiesta ST, are just wonderful to drive. I can say that with more confidence than ever now, having joined Ford for a good bit of Fiesta-flinging myself. In my case, the locale was slightly more pedestrian (Michigan not Portugal), and the car in question was the five-door version of the Fiesta ST that we get here in The States, as opposed to the three-door number they get across the pond.
Ford bringing production F-150 to Detroit with Atlas styling and Alcoa blast shields
Fri, 27 Dec 2013According to a report in Bloomberg, the 2015 Ford F-150 will indeed be showing up at the Detroit Auto Show next month. It will bring attitude with it, not only in the form of sheetmetal inspired by the Atlas concept (pictured) that appeared at the 2013 Detroit show but also in the Alcoa military blast shields among the display being used to showcase the ruggedness of aluminum.
There's been a lot of talk about the F-150 switching to aluminum body panels (although maintaining a steel frame), and for good reason. The lightweight body is expected to shed more than 700 pounds and greatly increase its highway mileage, but production-line issues and possible delays have been a major focus of attention concerning the best-selling vehicle in America for 32 years, meaning Ford has to get it right. F-150 is responsible for a massive portion of the company's global profits and it will come in a year when company profits are already predicted to decline because of new car launches.
When it comes to dings, the Bloomberg story says Ford wants Alcoa to supply some of the military-grade aluminum it uses for blast shields on battlefield vehicles to help it talk up the toughness of aluminum. Reading commentary on the many stories about the F-150 reveals there are many more little questions about the aluminum overhaul, like "How much will it cost to repair and insure?" and "How will companies hang their magnetic signs?" Answers should start coming in a couple of weeks.
Jay Leno is far beyond driven in his 1971 Pantera
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Perhaps it's fitting that the band Pantera is known for its heavy metal music, because the DeTomaso Pantera is the automotive equivalent of a metal album. It's short, aggressive and makes a mean sound. It doesn't mess around either, with a Ford 351-cubic-inch (5.75-liter) V8 sending mountains of torque to the rear wheels. This week, Jay Leno takes us on a detailed tour of his '71 to show why it rocks.
There's a regular format to Jay Leno's Garage. It starts with Jay and maybe a guest taking a look at the car and talking about its history, and then they take it out on the open road. However, this video is practically a Pantera buyer's guide. Jay is adamant from the start that the last thing anyone should own is a stock example. To remedy this, he and his guest, the editor of the Pantera Club magazine, take viewers to school about some of the ways to turn them into even better performance machines.
No matter what you do to it, though, the Pantera requires that the driver adapt to it, not the other way around. For example, Jay isn't a big guy by most standards, but he has to cram himself into the cockpit with his shoes off and shirt partially unbuttoned just to go for a drive. Still, once out on the road, it all makes sense with that rumbling V8 and those Italian supercar looks. Scroll down to watch and learn a lot more about this uncompromising '70s performance car.
