  Dillehay Street is home to the "Hot Rod Hullabaloo" and its time to sell one of their favorite rides of all time. I have built several cars over the years and have had a lot of them in magazines but this Lil'Jewel has turned more heads and had more pictures taken than all of them put together. Most asked questions, "How do you get in it?" and "Do you drive it?" Well you open the door and slide in like a snake and a big YES to the second one. Out of state road trips are the most fun. Runs comfortable at 55-60 mph. Note to looker, if your over 6' and weigh over 225 lbs...... passenger yes, driver no. Fits me perfect at 5'6" 160 lbs. If your uncomfortable with your butt cheeks riding 2" off the pavement, this ain't the car for you, wimp. It has the feel of a street legal go-kart flying around town!


  The front tires are Coker, the rear ones are original cool, they were found in an old gas station with the paper wrapping still around them. the wheels are vintage mags found in a junkyard. They were balanced and trued on the car! The drive train is from a donor 1946 ford truck (motor, tranny, driveshaft and rearend). The motor is one of the best running flathead around. It's pretty much stock, we installed new rings, the main bearings still had Ford stamped on them and looked really good. I added a brand new carb, Mallory Distributor, coil and a brand new power generator that makes it very responsive and reliable. The "Evans" aluminum Heads are very rare ( Earl "Pappy" Evans was one of the great post war flathead builders in Calf.) and perform nicely. Custom made aluminum radiator and gas tank to fit the unique style and frame. The top is army tent fabric with Dibond sewed in 4 sections that fold back or it can be removed. Believe it or not it sits pretty comfortable. 

This is a very well built unique car that was built with integrity and diffidently not thrown together. the closer you look reveals the thought and engineering involved to get this car reliable and safe as possible (considering the design). I'm gonna let the pictures do most of the talking and you can call me with your questions.

 You can view a short video of the "T" on our website, dillehaystreet.com.  Word is getting around it is for sale locally so I will remove this add if it sells before the auction is over. You can get a hold of me (Kirby) at 859-583-4051 Please only call if your interested in buying the car. If you have a general question please ask through ebay.

Ford reserving 50th Anniversary Mustangs for service members

Tue, Dec 16 2014

Think getting your hands on one of the 1,964 50th Anniversary Ford Mustangs is hard as a civilian? Imagine how tough it might be for the Mustang fanatics in our nation's military. Perhaps recognizing this fact, Ford Emerging Market Services and the Overseas Military Sales Corporation (the only Ford-authorized retailer on the military's bases) ran a raffle, with the winners receiving the opportunity to purchase one of the limited-edition muscle cars. Ford EMS and OMS received 300 entries to the raffle, although with only eight 50th Anniversary Stangs to hand out, we imagine there were quite a lot of disappointed soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. "We are pleased to offer limited-edition anniversary Mustangs to members of our military through our Military Appreciation Program, and we are delighted at the response it's receiving," Doug Walczak, EMS' fleet sales manager, said. The first Mustang was delivered to Army Maj. Del Boyer, shown above. While Maj. Boyer took delivery in New York, the raffle was open to servicemembers both at home and abroad.

These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.

Lincoln recycling tree fibers into new MKX armrest

Thu, Feb 27 2014

Want to hug a tree, or at least a really small part of one. Then set your arm down on one of those armrests in the 2014 Lincoln MKX crossover. The US automaker is working with Weyerhaeuser and Johnson Controls on a tree-based, cellulose-reinforced polypropylene material used in the component that connects the armrest to the floor console, Wards Auto says. With properties similar to plastic, the tree-based material replaces fiberglass and is about six percent lighter. No big deal for now, but if the material starts getting used for things like battery trays and interior storage covers, that loss in weight may eventually start adding up enough to boost fuel economy a bit, providing a green double bonus. Lincoln parent Ford, which isn't saying how much more (or less?) it costs to use the new material, established its Biomaterials and Plastics Research team in 2001. In 2007, the company began using soy-based foam in car seats used for models such as the Lincoln Navigator and Ford Mustang and has since broadened biomaterials use to components like floormats and cupholder inserts. Ford also used recycled plastic bottles from the 2012 North America International Auto Show for seats in the Focus Electric.
