 This is a very nice one of a kind car....if you are tired of Camaros and Mustangs at car shows then dare to be different ! This car has been restored cosmetically correct but has later model running gear and suspension to be safer.  It has a built 460 Ford with a loppy cam and high rise and a brand new Holley double pumper carb. New Griffin radiator with dual electic fans. High volume water pump,external fuel filter and oil filter coolers. Has a beefed up auto C6 trans with stall converter and a full spool poi trac rear end with 4.11 gears. ( Runs good down highway due to tall tires....65 mph all day long) Has full dual 3" exhaust with stock mufflers and manifolds ....its quiet going down the road. If you want it loud it has electric cut outs...flip a switch and you have the drag strip !! Also rebuilt the frontend and installed disc brakes and all new bearings and axles and converted to dual master cylinder for safety. Car was stripped inside and painted,undercoated the floorboard and then layed insulation all through out. All new CORRECT interior,trim and chrome. Radio works but no antennae installed on car. New heater core and rebuilt box. Car was painted Springtime Yellow and new door and trunk rubbers installed. New felts and roof rail rubbers and verticals. Channel rubber we got was wrong and never got around to it but everything else is new !! Fiberglass 406/427 style hood. Dash pieces and both bumpers were rechromed and are like new. All lights work as should...has aftermarket gauges,tach,and shifter. I have nearly all the pics from the build. Has new gas tank too this year. Clear Texas title and tagged and driven weekly. I built this car 3 years ago. It has been driven by a 70 year old man this 3 years.....not poked along but DRIVEN...sometimes WIDE open !!!lol. Car has been fun but bought a 64 Thunderbolt and dont need two. Car still looks good,drives even better (floats down the road at 100mph if want) Would need little to be a show car and does good at local shows. Paint is really nice..interior like new. The only bad would be the following....at the bottom edge of door and a small place by rear wheel well there are small rust bubbles starting ( a dime probely cover either one.) Trunk above gas tank has rust but cant really see it so didnt mess with it. Motor has some blowby when driven down highway but still runs good so never worried about it.Rear main seal leaks and need to keep cardboard or drip pan under car( kinda like a Model A) Car has been driven....not a garage queen so has small chips and pecks but believe me....its still very nice. I spent about $20,000 buying and building this car. I have had fun but time to pass it on. If someone makes a reasonable offer I will let it go . Car is "AS IS"....I bought on here that way and selling the same. Buyers with "0" buys or feed back will be cancelled. $500 deposit due when sale ends. Cash or wire transfer due within 3 days....you can pick up the car whenever after paid for and after payment is made it can stay as long as you need here. I can deliver in Texas or close by if paid for first. I also have shippers (if available). Call if any questions BEFORE you buy !!!! Thanks and good luck !!! 682-459-3078....car is 30 mile south of Fort Worth ,Texas off I-35W...

USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.
