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 Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road
Sat, 12 Apr 2014If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.
Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86
Wed, 26 Jun 2013On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.
2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost
Wed, 19 Nov 2014
A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.
