I have this 1997 cobra up for auction.  It has the 4.6 dohc 4 valve, 5 speed. Mods are longtube headers, offroad Xpipe (previous owner welded headers to the offroad xpipe), SLP loudmouth mufflers, 4.10 gear, bbk cai, under drive pulleys, msd coils, short runner intake mod, IMRC delete, Hurst short throw shifter, adjustable clutch cable, sct X2 tuner, Blankenship tuned. Has been a best of 12.7x@107 mph in the 1/4 mile at London, Ky.  This car has been previously repaired from a front end collision approximately 10 years ago, this collision is the reason for the rebuilt title.  The car was hit in the front, the frame was pulled, the radiator support, both fenders, hood, front bumper were all replaced in this repair.  The unibody of the car still shows signs of the collision on the transmission tunnel area, but this didn't appear to affect anything as the car has been on the road for 10 years or so after the repair.  This car has been used as a weekend driver/toy during this time.  The body does need some alignments on the gaps, and the clear is peeling on the car.  All body panels and bumpers are nice, and the car has a brand new unpainted Saleen wing on it.  The rear taillights have been smoked, and look pretty decent this way on the black car.  
 
The two issues with the car that cause me to list it as a parts or project cars are...
1. The transmission broke a shifter fork on the last track outing for the previous owner, the tranny was pulled, the shifter fork was replaced, a brand new clutch was bought and it all needs reinstalled.
2. While the car was down, the previous owner sold the seats, (front and rear) out of the car in hopes of putting some racing seats in it, so right now it doesn't currently have any seats in it.  The rest of the interior is in it still, the airbags were replaced with regular mustang airbags.  The drivers door panel is hanging away from the door on the back edge, this door panel must have some clips broke? Everything else appears to be ok.
 
Clear Rebuilt title is in hand and ready to go with it.  No reserve on this auction, this car is for sale locally so I may end the auction at any time.  Can be seen in Whitesburg Ky, 41858

Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron

Tue, Jan 3 2017

Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.
