If you are reading this, you must have some appreciation for older Fords. With that being said, you will really like this car. I was told about the car through some race car buddys, the car belonged to a gentleman that had owned the car for 30 years, he purchased the car from a guy out of the Carolina's, it had been a race car through out its lifetime. That's why it's so well preserved, I am getting off track, sorry.
The previous owner had raced the car for about twenty years or so, it use to have a 427 in it, the car went high 10's according to his son's. He had parked the car to take a break, and that turned into about 8 years, well, unfortunately the gentleman passed away. So the car just sat in the barn, the story I got was his race buddy pulled the 427 out, their dad had some sort of arrangement with the guy, so he took it. The two sons had enough parts laying around they started to get a motor ready, they had it machined, freshened up the block and stalled out. The car sat for a couple of years, they decide they didnt have time for the car so that's when I bought it. I got most of the parts , I just had to put it together, plus a few odds and ends. the motor is a standard bore early 390, new rings, bearings, oil pump, ect. The heads are 62 408 heads that have been decked, all new valves and springs, to accommodate the 500 plus solid roller cam. It also has the original cast iron long headers , they run about a grand by them selves. The transmission is a C6 wich I had completely rebuilt, along with a new 2500 stall. mechanically everything is new or has been rebuilt. I put the engine in the car and got it to fire, sound really good, the car basically need someone to adjust the lifters and set the points, also the brakes look great but need to be adjusted, i'm not too good with drum stuff. It has new tires up front. It also needs the a headlight switch, I think its bad, I couldn't move it. The body is very impressive for a 50 year old car, it has never been restored, they painted the roof and tops of the rear quarters about 20 years ago. doors, fenders, quarters, and trunk are original to the car, other than a little surface oxidation from sitting the car is really solid. The previous owner put a fuel cell in the trunk, in the process of doing that he had the floor modified, but it looks good. The interior is 100% original, the carpet is faded and the das pad has a few cracks, but all the seats look amazing, as well as the headliner. If you are wanting a unique car that you wont see at the cruise in or drag strip, this is it please call me with any questions, I am available most of the time, if you get my voice mail please leave a message and I will call you back asap. thanks 352 494 6913 |

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
Ford unveils its facelifted Falcon finale with new XR8
Thu, 24 Jul 2014While its days may be numbered, Ford isn't just going to let its Falcon sedan limp out for the Australian market. No, the Blue Oval is releasing a refreshed Falcon for its final years, and it's lead by this, the new XR8. That's right, this dead-car-driving is going to go out on a high note.
Ford's global design DNA dominates the looks of the new Falcon, with a grille reminiscent of the US market Fusion and the European-market Mondeo. The headlights aren't a straight port, and boast their own unique LED running light pattern (at least on the XR8), but the overall look is strikingly similar. Out back, LED taillights highlight the rear of the Faclon. Despite the substantial new fascia, this is still a mid-cycle refresh. That means most of the rest of the Falcon's body panels are carryovers from the current model.
The XR8 model, shown above, arrives with a supercharged V8, allegedly displacing 5.0 liters. Unfortunately, details on the Falcon's mechanicals are in remarkably short supply. Ford has committed to a range of turbocharged four, as well as turbocharged and naturally aspirated six-cylinders, in addition to the V8, although specifics on those mills aren't available.
Recharge Wrap-up: Ford announces e-bike project, Honda Accord Hybrid availability catches up
Thu, Mar 5 2015Supplies of the Honda Accord Hybrid have apparently caught up with demand. Honda originally launched the Accord Hybrid for the 2014 model year, but lack of availability plagued interested customers and eager dealers alike. Honda cited "component supply constraints" - likely batteries, electric motors and the like - for the lack of available vehicles. Now, "The supply of Accord Hybrids in general is in line with the supply of the regular Accord sedan," according to Honda's Angie Nucci. Read more at Green Car Reports. Apple is seeking a resolution to a lawsuit accusing the company of poaching employees from lithium-ion battery maker A123 Systems. A123 has requested a court order stopping a former employer from breaking an employment agreement, as well as keeping Apple from encouraging the person to do so. Apple has requested more time to respond to that court order. A123 has also filed a suit accusing five employees of breaking nondisclosure agreements and going or trying to go to work for Apple. Insiders say that Apple is developing an electric car that could go into production as early as 2020. Read more at Automotive News. South Dakota's Ethanol Infrastructure Incentive Program is helping retailers fund ethanol storage. The state government has set aside $300,000 as part of the program to fund ethanol storage tanks at gas stations. The program, which originally set out to reimburse retailers for building ethanol flex-pumps, is now helping them expand their ethanol capacities. Retailers can apply for funds for pumps and storage through June 30. Read more at Argus Leader. Ford is expanding its Global Mobility Plan with the Handle on Mobility electric bike experiment. The foldable MoDe:Me e-bike is for personal use and commuting, while the MoDe:Pro is built for commercial duty, with both powered by a 200-watt motor and 9-amp-hour battery. The bikes use an iPhone app called MoDe:Link, which provides various information and controls important bike functions. Through the app, the bikes offer navigation (with traffic data, available public transportation and charging locations included), with handlebar vibrations letting the rider know when and where to turn and automatically activating turn signals. The bike can sense and alert the rider to other vehicles on the roadway. Pedal assist is based on heart rate, allowing the rider to arrive at their destination comfortably. See the bikes in the video above, and read more from Ford.
