This is a sweet 1928 Ford Model A Sedan!  The car has been driven regularly over the past ten years and it really rips.  Spend less time cleaning, polishing and tinkering and more time cruising.

This is as finished as a Rat Rod could go without looking hokey and you won’t find another like.  The paint is flat black with old school scallops in white and outlined in red, finished off with beautiful pinstripes laid down by Paul Straus and Ron Lasker.  The roof has been chopped 5 inches, all the wood has been replaced with white oak and finished with a dark stain and sealer.  The car comes with a removable waterproof canvas top that can be buttoned on or off in a few minutes and secured in the back with custom leather buckle down straps.  The front end sports a 1930 grill shroud with traditional BLC guide head lights on each side.  The rear tail lights are 1939 Ford.  The 1930 Chrysler side door handles, vintage peep mirror and 50’s bumpers give the exterior just the right amount of chrome to go faster.

The interior is finished in wood and stainless steel, hidden under the deck lid is a 15 gallon fuel tank made by Tanksinc.  You might question the comfort of the seats, but they’ve got just enough spring to them that they are comfortable and look great.  The red center console is made up of 1967 Buick fenders flipped around and welded together.  A fully chromed 1932 style dash is inlayed with black Stewart Warner Wings gauges and one enormous vintage speedometer made by Maring and Company.(Maring and Company was based out of LA and made high speed speedo’s back in the day)  The other gauges consists of water temp, oil pressure, oil temp for engine oil, oil temp for trans oil, air pressure(for air-ride) and volts.  The 15 inch wood steering wheel is mounted to a 60’s VW bus steering column and gear box with a quick release so it can be removed for security purposes.  The Enfield rifle is not included in the sale of the vehicle, it currently is slid over a shifter rod that protrudes approximately one foot out of the center console, I would recommend if you want to maintain the look you could find a stage gun for a few bucks on-line.

The drive train consists of a 1965 Chevy 327 that was fully rebuilt about 5,000 miles ago putting out approximately 375 hp and topped off with a 3x2 Offenhauser intake.  The transmission is a 350 turbo automatic followed by a Chevy 12 bolt rear end with fresh 3.73 gears.  The front suspension is a late 30’s strait axle and split wish bone set up suicide style with disc brakes.  The rear consists of an old school hairpin radius rod set up sprung with adjustable coilovers and Chevy drum brakes.  The wheels are reproduction artillery style wheels in a clear finish wrapped in reproduction Firestone tires.

Ford to auction Mustang Cobra Jet prototype for charity [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Prototypes developed by major automakers typically remain in said company's custody, but every once in a while, one trickles out into private hands. And that's just what we have here. Ford is donating a one-of-a-kind factory prototype for the 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet that will be auctioned off later this month by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 mated to a T4 competition gearbox, this rare Cobra Jet prototype includes a wheelie bar, chromoly roll cage, Weld wheels, three-link rear suspension, racing brakes, 9-inch rear axle and more. It's painted in a unique satin orange with reflective gray striping scheme, bears the serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1 and is fully ready for NHRA competition on the drag strip.
To be offered with no reserve on Saturday, September 28, 2013, the Cobra Jet prototype's winning bidder will also receive tutelage at Roy Hill's Drag Racing School in Sophia, NC, along with tours of the Ford Product Development Center, Ford Racing headquarters and Ford Design Studios with Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Scope out the video and details below for what could be the ultimate Mustang experience for a good cause.

First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.

Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]

Mon, 20 May 2013

Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.
