Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
|
Born in California, raised in Vegas and brought to Michigan to be reborn as a show car, which has been very successful. It has achieved best in show awards and many trophys, including Good Guys. It is not only handsome in every detail, but also a comfortable fun driver. The odometer reads 47,635 believed to be correct. The color is base clear Guards Red. The interior is Pearl White, it's even cool in the sun. The chrome is replated , with cu. ni. ch. and the aluminum reanodised. The stainless has been refurbished and polished. The engine is the FE 352, 4V, 300 HP The transmission is a smooth shifting standard , with over drive, which makes it a interstate cruiser. The brakes are drum. The steering is original. The tires are radial. The exhaust is dual, with glass pac's and the extensios are 18" X 3 1/2" to produce a deep pleasant tone. The car is lowered 3", with air shocks to assist the rear, when needed. The lake pipes are decorative. The drivers door is keyless, activated by a key fob. The convertible top motor and lines, are new in 2013, with improved opperation. This has been the best car in my collection and hope it finds it's way to a home that will produce another friendship, as my previous cars have. Age has crept up on me, but I will keep my last car,a 49 Merc,as a driver. Direct questions to ebay, or my cell phone 616 485 8256. I will require 10% payment to pay Pal with in 48 hours of purchase and the balance as cash,or a bank transfer at pick up. Good Luck bidding Tom |

How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made
Tue, 06 Aug 2013We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
Watch Ken Block's scary Rally America crash from inside the cockpit
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ken Block became famous for his series of Gymkhana videos, but he's a real racer in his own right. Block has competed many rounds in the FIA World Rally Championship and also rallied in the 2013 Rally America series. He nearly won that latter title last year - if not for a massive crash in the final event of the season.
Block and his co-driver Alex Gelsomino went into the Lake Superior Performance Rally needing a win to take the championship. However, missing a clump of dirt on the side of the road and one little word in the pace notes was all it took to catapult Block's Fiesta off the road and into a tumbling accident. Block says his initial reaction was anger because the crash came out of nowhere.
For 2014, Block is joining the FIA World Rallycross Championship for at least three rounds. He'll drive a Ford Fiesta for the Hoonigan Racing Division at the Norwegian, French and Turkish events of the 12-round championship. Former Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve will also compete in the series.
