27 Ford Model T, steel body clean clear title. Car has been chopped, channeled, custom frame with kick ups front and rear, super bell axel, suicide front suspension, coilover rear suspension, ford 9" rear end 3.00 gear, 292 gm inline 6 Saginaw 3 speed stick with a hand clutch. Has sprint car type cowl steering, new friction shocks up front, new wheels and tires, 16" firestones all around.
I just drove this car 992 miles on the Bourbon Blitzkrieg Run, and to Beatersville car show without a single issue. Averaged 22 mpg the entire trip. The only gauges it has are temp and oil pressure. Get in and drive anywhere with not issues. Steering will wander on bad roads due to no weight on the front end and bias ply tires, however it's not terrible. I drove the car at 75 mph the entire trip last weekend.
The front window is plexiglass and will come with some extra sheets as its a little narrow. There is no top and no other windows, the doors are latched from the inside. I find it easier to climb over. Remember leg room is limited in this, I'm 6'1" 210lbs and I fit but it is tight. There is minimal foot room on the driverside by the pedals, work boots will not work for driving this. There are dents/rust/patch panels, this is a rat rod...not a pristine show car although it does get awards.
Buyer is to arrange pickup or shipping. The vehicle is for sale locally as well, so the auction may end early if sold. Also interested in trades for other pre-65 cars and trucks, trades must come to me.

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR
Fri, Jun 5 2015As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.

Last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible nets $500k for charity at Barrett-Jackson [w/video]
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible was sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Reno, Nevada, for $500,000. Ford donated the Mustang to be auctioned for charity, and all of the money is going to the Brain Injury Association of America.
Parnelli Jones, winner of the 1963 Indianapolis 500, was there on behalf of the BIAA with his son Page, who suffered a brain injury in a sprint car crash in 1994. The bidding increased quickly, reaching $500k in no time, spreading a bit more hope to people who live with brain injuries.
The winning bidder will be able to choose the GT500's exterior, interior and stripe colors, and is scheduled to receive the car, signed by Parnelli Jones in appreciation for the donation, by the end of 2013. Watch the video below to see the auction-block action.
2015 Ford Focus
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Sitting down at the pre-drive briefing with Ford engineers ahead of sampling the refreshed 2015 Focus, water bottles clinked as we wet our whistles before Q&A. While pouring a glass, we noticed something stamped on the bottle label: "1L." One liter. We were palming the exact displacement of the EcoBoost engine our group was about to drive. This was undoubtedly coincidence (such bottles litter every conference and dinner table in Europe) but it served to drive home just how small the total swept volume of Ford's wunderkind powerplant really is. It's tiny.
Of course, this isn't our first run-in with the little triple - we've sampled its turbocharged charms before in Ford's smaller Fiesta. At that time, we found it had plenty of poke for the subcompact, but the larger C-segment Focus carries around another 450 pounds or so and pushes a wider profile through the air. Would the three-cylinder have the stuffing to make the most of the Focus' athletic chassis, or would it be a letdown? Would it be the same as it was when we tested it in a Euro-spec Focus a couple of years ago? There was nothing left for it but to head out on the bucolic roads surrounding Versailles the day after the Paris Motor Show and find out for ourselves.
