This iconic hot rod was built approximately 10 years ago in California by people who really knew what they were doing, Ron Attebury Street Rods. The construction and attention to detail is nothing short of amazing. Starting with a 32 Ford frame correctly modified to fit the original steel T roadster body the front suspension is the first thing to bring about a "wow" from spectators. It consists of a tube axle mounted suicide style using unequal length 4-bars to match the reveal in the 32 frame. From there we have torsion bars similar to that in a midget that are enclosed in the frame, are adjustable for height and use equally adjustable friction shocks with cross steering. Rear suspension is a Ford 9" mounted on coil-overs and located by a triangulated 4-bar also. Powering this beauty is a gorgeous to look at 401 Buick nailhead with an ample supply of glitter and backed up by a 60s 400 Turbo with the Buick switch pitch converter. The engine and transmission were both built by a very professional shop, Centerville Auto Repair owned and operated by Russ Martin, the Buick Guru in Grass Valley,California in 2007 and now have 6900 miles. Both engine and transmission were built to stock specs so the package is easy to live with and trouble free. Receipts for this total in excess of $6k and indicate a rebore of .060 using block plates and a complete balanced assembly along with everything else used in the assembly. Brakes are 4WDB using C4 Corvette calipers. Headers and exhaust are a work of art in themselves as is the narrowed 40 Ford dashboard. Fuel and volt guages along with the headlight switch, electric trunk switch are hidden in the glove compartment. Wiring is excellent as is the upholstery with toggle switches for the switch pitch converter, fuel pump, ignition cut-off and dimmer along with the button for speedo calibration are under the dash within easy reach of the driver. Also under the dash along with the fuse box is a flip down enclosed panel containing the ignition coil, speedometer module, shift position light module and two 12 volt outlets. Battery(Optima) shut off is on the floor in front of the seat. There are also easily accessible battery charging posts inside the driver side frame rail and on the opposite frame rail are found the electric fuel pump, fuel shut-off valve and canister fuel filter. Steering column is a nicely done tilt unit but even so as the passenger compartment on a T is small this car is best suited for smaller individuals. The trunk is fully finished enclosing the battery and fuel fill. Wheels are excellent repro wires all with good tires the rear being 16.5" wide Hoosier street radials. This car starts, runs, drives and stops very well and needs nothing. NY title/registration is clear and in my name. No test pilots but rides freely given dependent on weather. The T is advertised locally so may be sold and removed from the auction at any time. Once the reserve is met the auction will play out and a local sale will not occur. Look at the multitude of photos in the listing and most questions will be answered but if not I will do my best to provide the answer you need.

Performance CNG wants to crowdfund natural gas-powered Ford Mustang
Fri, May 16 2014Soliciting investments to develop a street-legal compressed natural gas (CNG) powered Ford Mustang that can deliver 470 horsepower certainly wouldn't make sense on a site called Indiestopstop. Nope, Indiegogo is the more-appropriately-named site that one Michigan entrepreneur is using to try and crowdfund his CNG 'Stang. He's looking to raise $55,000. Michigan's Daryl Patrishkoff and his company Performance CNG LLC showed off their converted 2003 Mustang last year at the Woodward Dream Cruise in Royal Oak, MI in an effort to get some exposure for the car, which can run on both gas and CNG. The company and its three-man team is looking to further develop the project in the name of a fueling source that is 40 percent cheaper than gasoline, throws off as much as 30 percent fewer tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions and makes the country less dependent on foreign oil. Performance CNG estimates that just 120,000 of the world's 15 million CNG-powered vehicles are in the US and is calling for more. As for the $55 grand, Patrishkoff estimates that more than half of that amount would be committed to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) testing of emissions, fuel economy and horsepower. The problem? As of right now, only $150 has been raised. Check out Performance CNG's press release below and see the fundraising effort on Indiegogo here. Eco-Friendly Muscle Car? CNG vehicles save money, emit less pollution and creates jobs from American-mined fuel SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich., May 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Daryl Patrishkoff of Shelby Township, MI, has a vision for the American automotive industry. He firmly believes that our fuel of choice should be Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), not gasoline. Until the full CNG infrastructure is in place a Bi-Fuel vehicle, fueled by either CNG or gasoline upon the drivers command, is the bridge vehicle that can lead this transition. Patrishkoff heads up a (3) man technical team developing this technology. The advantages are: 40 percent savings in fuel costs at the pump 25-30 percent reduction in harmful emissions 100 percent US provided natural gas Meaningful employment for the US economy The most important benefit, however, is that a CNG-powered vehicle runs on fuel that can be mined in America, eliminating the need for foreign oil. "After decades of political rhetoric, these types of vehicles can truly lead the US to energy independence," he said.
XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.
