I have owned this beautiful Grabber Blue 1970 Mach 1 for over 6 years. It's been driven to shows and loved, ever
since the car was delivered to me! Last summer I decided to seriously upgrade my Mustang to a Pro-Touring car. I
just completed this professionally built, one of a kind muscle machine and have logged approximately 100 flawless
miles.
Previously, the car lived in Arizona , has original body, no rust ever, original glass, rubber and trim in perfect
condition. Car was built with rare drag pack, it may be the only non-Boss or Cobra Jet Mustang produced. Also, has
some race history in the early 70's, then car was stored inside for 25+ years!
The engine is of unique design and build, with many custom made parts. Example: The custom made AFR heads will
support 1000 HP. The Crane cam was specially ground for this particular application. Engine parts alone, totaled in
excess of $20,000. The solid/hydraulic lifters are rated for 8500 RPM. The engine builder I have always used since
1971, is quite well know for it's excellent reputation, especially Ford engines! This 408 cu. in. Windsor stroker
is rated at 650 HP @7000 RPM ( conservatively rated ) and has 8-stack Electronic Fuel Injection throttle bodies.
The engine runs great on 91 Octane pump gas, and is very streetable at any RPM. Trans is a TKO 5-speed, with
hydraulic clutch and the 8500 RPM light weight fly-wheel allows for super quick revs. Total Control Products:
power rack & pinion with high RPM race pump, tilt steering column, totally adjustable tubular upper & lower control

Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting
Tue, 13 May 2014It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history
Sat, 03 May 2014You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
