Purchased from an estate this 1919 Paco bodied model T Racer is offered for sale.  The Paco  body was made in Galesberg Ill in 1919.  The Paco Speedster all steel bodies were made from 1916 to 1920.  Made to be mounted on a Model T frame they were patterned to resemble the Indy racers of the day.  This model is equipped with the mechanics seat which was the way Indy cars were built in that era, and were very popular on the dirt tracks  until the Forties.  This example is powered by the very rare Frontinac conversion of the Ford Model T engine.  The Frontinac Engine company of Indianoplis was owned by the Chevrolet Bros and was  the leading supplier of engines and conversion for the Indy 500 and other racers in the 1920s.  This is a model R head and conversion the very same that won the 1923 Indy 500 and placed 6 through 10 in 1922.  This engine conversion included steel balanced crank, Camel water pump, Fully pressurized lube system, distributor,downdraft model OC2 Stromberg carb, Model R overhead valve head and  manifolds plus numerous other Frontinac upgrades.  These Model R conversions are capable of 4200 rpm and can cruise all day at that level.  This one runs flawlessly and is coupled to a modern C4 Ford automatic with a Borg-Warner overdrive making top speed of over 90 MPH.  Rear axle is narrrowed model T, brakes  are Girling 4 wheel hydraulic.  12 volt system with electric starter    Seat cushion is removable with leather patterned closely to the orginal Paco interior.   This racer was found in a Southern California salvage yard and has been restored to resemble its appearance as a dirt track racer in the thirties.  Street legal with lights and stoplight.  Perfect for cruises or even the " Great Race".   I just brought the car back from a weekend at the vintage races at Road America and it will supply days of fun for the buyer at the many vintage car races through-out the US.  Car is located in Austin Mn and available for inspection anytime during the auction.  If unable to inspect the winning bidder, after a $1000. paypal deposit within 24 hours, will have ten days to inspect.  If for any reason buyer chooses not to complete purchase, he may "walk-away" and one-half of deposit will be refunded.  Any questions please E-Mail or call John @ 507 279 0752.

Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014



The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response

Fri, Jan 25 2019

Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story. Related Video: News Source: Popular Mechanics Read This Bentley Bugatti Ford Lincoln Saturn Suzuki
