One Of A Kind!! '23 Ford T-bucket Powered By Boeing Turbine / Jet Engine on 2040-cars
United States
|
Tired of showing up at the cruise night and someone having the same type of car as yours? THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN! This is a one of a kind, custom '23 Ford T-Bucket powered by a Boeing 502 Turbojet engine. This isn't some hack job that someone built in their backyard, this is a well engineered, thought out, aircraft quality built vehicle. As you can see, everything is well laid out and engineered with much thought to the end vehicle. Everything is either polished or chrome including a chrome rear end, front axle, springs, suspension links, tie rods, etc.
The power plant in this vehicle is a Boeing 502 Turbojet engine. This engine was designed by the Boeing company in Washington state to be used in many different applications. They have been used in everything from powering fire trucks, Kenworth road tractors/semis, large Navy minesweeper generator systems, and even powering the prop on small aircraft. It has tremendous amounts of torque, so much as a transmission is not even needed. All that is needed is forward and reverse and nothing else. Everything for the engine is well laid out, including all stainless steel braided lines for the fuel system, aircraft quality wiring, relays, solenoids, and fuse blocks. One of the attention-grabbing qualities of this T-bucket is the exhaust system, which diverts the heat to both sides of the vehicle. To really impress everyone at cruise night, it also has a fire system designed to shoot fire out of both sides of the exhaust! It has a deep, black finish in perfect condition. A black leather interior sets it off. Huge amount of gauges covering all aspects of the engine and vehicle performance. Vehicle has rear brakes operated by foot pedal and also a power turbine brake operated by a T-handle in the center of the console. Engine is operated by hand throttle in the console, just like an aircraft. Easy to start and drive. It also has a funny car style Deist parachute to set off the rear end of the car. Also included are a custom car cover, a custom charger for the battery system, complete service and parts manual, and a copy of the original Navy film showing service, maintenance, and operating instructions for the engine. This is the kind of vehicle you would expect to see at a museum, Jay Leno's garage, a Barrett Jackson or Meccum Auto auction. Note: The vehicle is not titled for street use, we just drove at car shows, cruise nights, etc. Ebay requires that something is entered on title status. There is not a title for this vehicle at the present time. There are many companies out there that will be able to help with acquiring for a custom built vehicle such as this, we never pursued it ourselves. You may be able to easily acquire a title in your state on your own, as you know, each state is different. If you have any questions about this, please contact us before bidding.

Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]
Sun, 08 Dec 2013The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.
Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]
Wed, 05 Jun 2013For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
