Here is a very nice 30 A Coupe mounted on a made-to-fit 32 chassis. This car started as a clean, rust-free NC body which was then chopped 4" with the roof being filled in the process. It has a very nicely constructed full steel floor from firewall to tail lights with a louvered pan in the rear. The chassis is a unit built for this purpose by one of the best and well known race car builders in the NE. The rails are pinched to fit the 30 body and also bobbed in the rear. Crossmembers are well built using square tubing and the whole unit is a work of art in itself. The rear is a new Winters quick-change using 3:22 helicals that is not locked, uses normal Ford type brakes and has radius rods, panhard bar and coil-overs. There is a lot of polished aluminum, chrome and stainless along with well done AN hoses on fuel and transmission lines. All the info on the engine is from the builder who tells me that it is a LT1 350 using pink rods, forged pistons, roller rockers, .538 lift cam with World Products heads, MSD ignition, Walker radiator, Edelbrock air gap and carb and headers. I cannot document any of the engine internals but it certainly runs well. Exhaust is full polished stainless from front to rear and is another work of art in itself. Interior is nicely done with a full compliment of gauges, tilt wheel and a heater. Wheels are Halibrand copies and are very nice. This little car starts, runs, drives and stops very well and would make an excellent low cost starter hot rod which could be taken to the next level if desired. It is and always has been a driver as indicated by the current graveyard of bugs on the radiator, these are thrown in at no extra cost to the new owner. All the aluminum on the car could use polishing but then you would need sun glasses. Also included is a three piece hood that fits rather well and is held in place by Zeus fasteners when desired. All three parts can be used or just the top if desired. Most questions about what is included can be answered by carefully looking at the photos. In the interest of honesty and full disclosure there are a few things that should be addressed although the car is fine to use as-is. As I sadly learned recently, a lie of omission is still a lie. First it has no e-brake whatsoever although the holes are present in the backing plates to add cables. One front tire is worn on the outside from being used on another car with questionable alignment. The steering wheel is very nice 17" Schroeder but with the car being so small and the steering so easy a 15" would make entry and exit somewhat easier. Another item I would change is the very tall Lokar shift handle which almost reaches the ceiling, awkward to reach the lockout at best. Lastly, the Sun tach does not function but may be looked at in the future if time allows. I am sure there may be some other questionable areas as on any used car but I have not found them. If I do they will be posted. Title is a clear and open NYS title/registration. This car is now listed elsewhere and may be sold at any time. Looking for vintage Triumph motorcycle trade-in.

Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
Production of Shelby GT350 is coming to an end
Fri, 26 Jul 2013One Autoblog staffer who drove the limited-edition Shelby GT350 wrote it probably was the best Mustang he'd driven, but, at some point, the fun had to come to an end: December 31 is the last day the GT350 will be available to order.
The GT350's option list has evolved much like it did for the original 1965-67 GT350. For 2011, the 45th Anniversary edition only came in coupe form and was painted white with blue stripes, just as with the 1965 car. The 2012 GT350 was offered as a coupe or convertible, and three colors were added to the option list, just like the 1966 model. For 2013, more colors and options were added in addition to equipment and styling updates, which resulted in Wilwood instead of Baer brakes. No major changes were made for the 2014 model. From the first car in 2011, customers have been able to choose between three different configurations for their 5.0-liter V8: naturally aspirated with 440 horsepower, supercharged with 525 hp (with warranty) or supercharged with 624 hp (without warranty).
"When we unveiled this latest version of the Shelby GT350, we promised it would be built for a limited time to preserve its collectability and value," states John Luft, president of Shelby American. He may have a point, because the original GT350, which also had a limited production run, is among the most valuable muscle cars in the world.
2015 Galpin Ford GTR1
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Last year in Monterey, we met GTR1 for the first time. Galpin Auto Sports pulled the wraps off its Ford GT-based supercar, powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4-liter V8 good for a whopping 1,024 horsepower and 739 pound-feet of torque. The thing was totally custom-made and reportedly took some 12,000 man hours to create. And there it sat on the Pebble Beach grass, $1,000,000-plus price tag and all.
This year, the Galpin was back, albeit with one big change. That twin-turbo engine? Gone. In its place, a 5.4-liter V8 with a 4.0-liter Whipple supercharger bolted on, delivering an astonishing 1,058 hp and 992 lb-ft of torque on 110-octane fuel. 0-60? 2.9 seconds. Top speed? Somewhere above 225 miles per hour.
"Some things to keep in mind: no stability control, no traction control," were the only warnings given by Galpin's Brandon Boeckmann before taking me on a quick spin in the supercar. And after having my eyes thrown into the back of my skull a few times, laughing hysterically and trying to regain full use of my hearing after my ear drums being bombarded by the apocalyptic roar behind me, Brandon pulled over and said it was my turn, if I was ready to take the wheel.
