I purchased this fabulous 1930 Ford Model A 5 window coupe from an estate sale. The original owner spent ten years and approx. $250K to build this car.
I have had several drag race car and engine builders look at this dragster and they all agree that only the best components of it`s day were used here.
SPECS:  Engine 698 cid  Donovan block with Brodix EPD 700 Series heads
               Bore X Stroke  4.60" X 5.25"     Comp. ratio 9:1

         boost
Built by: Performance Engine Development Inc. Tacoma, Washington
Performance: twice run on dyno and broke it both times ( > 2500 hp)
                     1504 hp & 1652 lbs. torque @ 4500 rpm
Transmission: Lenco 3 speed
Drive: Mark Williams modular rear end- gear ratio 4.88
Body: Hadman all steel full funny car chassis  4130 chromoly
This car has never been raced and according to the knowledgeable persons that I have talked to it would require a more up to date front end to consider taking it to the drag strip. In it`s current state it is probably most suitable as a show car and was even driven on the streets in Washington State by the original owner.  The professional engine builders that I talked to recommended parting out the Donovan engine, BDS blower , Lenco transmission, the Mark Williams rear end, install a small block and make an awesome street rod. I have not started this engine and I have very limited knowledge of these vehicles other than what I have stated here so I`m unlikely to be able to answer any technical questions. This car is currently in private storage. It can be viewed but not removed from this location until the first week in May.
Buyer pays shipping charges as well as any duty or taxes if applicable. I have been quoted $2000 for shipping from Toronto, Canada to L.A.

Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.

Ford decides C-Max shoppers not interested in fuel economy

Sat, Oct 25 2014

If you say a car – the Ford C-Max Hybrid, for example – is "fun to drive," can anyone really come up with some empirical evidence against your claim? What about calling it "versatile"? We wonder if Ford has been thinking along these lines when it talks about the green little hatch. Ford is refocusing its sales strategy for the C-Max Hybrid after the model took a sales hit on both sides of the Atlantic recently, Automotive News reports. That sales dropoff may stem from the fact that Ford has had to revise its fuel-economy figures downward for the C-Max twice since last year, most recently in June. That made the company's once-proud fuel-economy comparisons with the Toyota Prius kind of pointless. Ford is going a different route, calling the model versatile (which, to be fair it was also doing a year ago), technologically advanced and fun to drive. Since the C-Max has about 50 more horsepower than the Prius, that last part may be true. Ford representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the mpg-mention-free advertising direction, but we will update this post if we hear back. Sales of the C-Max Hybrid have suffered in the US. Through September, Ford sold 15,245 C-Max Hybrids, down 36 percent from last year. We shall see if a new focus away from the car's lowered mpg numbers helps. At least Ford can be pleased with sales of the C-Max Energi Plug-in Hybrid, which are up 51 percent compared to 2013.

Ford supports bid for Detroit Rallycross race with Motown-minded Fiesta ST vid

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

As Ford continues its cheerleading effort to help bring the 2014 Summer X Games to its hometown of Detroit, MI, it has released footage of its 2014 Fiesta ST Rallycross car on location at some of the city's well-known landmarks. This video appears to have been shot around the same time as the previous X Games Detroit video was made, but it focuses 100-percent on rally car action.
With Ford Racing driver Andreas Eriksson behind the wheel, this Fiesta ST lays down some serious rubber atop Detroit's Cobo Hall parking structure, at Belle Isle and around the Michigan Central Depot. Detroit isn't alone in the bid for a three-year X Games contract as Chicago, Austin and Charlotte are also hoping to play host. The winning host city is expected to be announced this summer. Scroll down for Ford's two-minute video showing the Fiesta ST Rallycrossing through the Motor City.
