Manhattan, Kansas, United States
|
1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500. 390 cu. in. motor that has been
bored out 0.030” over, with Edelbrock High Rise Heads and Intake Manifold, 270
degree cam, producing 400+ hp, coupled to a GM 700-R4 automatic transmission
with Overdrive, (necessary for the high hp). It has an Edelbrock 650cfm 4-bbl carburetor, electric fuel pump,
Griffin High Capacity aluminum radiator w/dual electric cooling fans, anti-sway
bars front & rear, drag link traction bars, Magnaflow mufflers. The
interior and all glass completely replaced 6 years ago and is in perfect
condition. All instruments & gauges work except the Clock. The only maintenance
problem is a minor leak in the Power Steering system. It works fine but has a
small drip when parked. This car was restored in 2008 by a retired NASCAR
Mechanic who built cars for the Holman-Moody Race team. He built this one as
close to the performance of that NASCAR era as possible but still be street
legal. The odometer show 48253 miles but I don’t know the real mileage of the
car. I have only driven it about 3000 miles since I bought it from him in 2008.
I have taken it on the Hot Rod Power Tour and it performed great. It is a real “head
turner” and gets lots of compliments. A deposit of $500 due within 48 hours of the sale ending and the balance due within 2 weeks. Payment may be made via PayPal or a bank wire transfer. Buyer is responsible for pick-up or arranging shipping. |

This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like
Sat, 12 Oct 2013Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.
Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
Ford will build Hackmobile out of Transit Connect Wagon
Fri, 27 Dec 2013What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.
