Road Ready 1923 Ford Steel Model T Hot Rod

This is a well built hot rod. It was built for my personal use and safety and I have put on a lot of miles with few issues. As you can see by the pictures it has a great paint job, excessive chrome and all the vintage speed parts you would expect. It has never been on a trailer, it has never been in a car show but it is respected by outlaw bikers, disdained by Corvettes and acknowledged by European sport cars. Be the first to take it to cruise night or display it at a car show. Cops generally turn a blind eye to it. As a street sprint it weighs in at less than 1700 pounds and just plain hooks-up and goes. As a road warrior it has highway gears so this little rod loves to cruise. It does have a flat windshield and in 1923 Ford never made a car to exceed 40 mph but this one will double that easy. I have sandblasted the cab, frame and just about all parts. Safety and reliability was my main objective in this and all my builds.

The Build Story
In 1965 a California man and his son started collecting and mocking up the little hot rod. The drive train of a 10 year old 1955 Chevrolet Corvette was purchased for the build. The rear axle, transmission and engine were the main components of the purchase. The amazing part of the story is that the engine is a 195 hp 265 cubic inch V8 from 1 of 700 1955 Corvettes made! That means the valve covers and many of the other parts are original 1955 Corvette. The four 97 Stromberg carbs are mounted on an early aftermarket intake. The son moved the project to Montana where it sat in dry storage until 1990 when it was purchased and re-conditioned. There is no rust or patches on the all steel body, it is just that good!

Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...

Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70

Sun, 20 Jul 2014

We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.
