His name was Carroll Shelby, and he had many great ideas. One was to put a V8 engine into a small roadster body. He did it, and the result was the legendary AC Cobra. One can't help but wonder if this would have been the type of project Shelby would have done if he had been a younger man in the early 2000's.
This is truly an amazing car & modern day AC Cobra. A big V8 placed into a small roadster, however this one is using items that are in the neighborhood of 40 years newer. The result is 315 whp with 341 lb/ft, all in a car that likely weighs in @ only 3,000 pounds. How fast is it, well imagine a C5 Corvette with basic bolt ons, but with about a 400 pound reduction in weight. So basically the results are what you would expect, amazing.
If you doubt the reliability of this swap, don't. On 8/18 I drove this car home 400+ trouble free miles. I just got this on trade (with some cashon top to me) and I love it, but I need to move it so that I can pay off the loan on the car that I traded away for this one (the value was just too good to pass up). If I didn't already have a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Spyder and 2 MR2 Turbos I would keep this car, but I just can't part with such a historic car as the VR4 Spyder, and I can't afford to keep two high priced cars like this, so I need to get down to the VR4 and one of the MR2 Turbos.
-Included notebook with much of the cars features and history documented
-117k miles on chassis @ time of swap (less than 5k estimated since the swap)
-Under 60 on 01 corvette ls1 engine swap
-Freshly built 700r4 trans can handle 800hp, 3500 stall converter, this is an aggressive, built auto tranny, with a pretty hard 1-2 shift, but I am shocked @ how streetable it is overall.
-Tons and tons of fabrication done to the car and lots of custom work
-Proper bracing added to compensate for the LS1
-IRS ford 8.8 rear diff
-Professionally done 3m vinyl wrap in matte blue metallic (OEM white paint underneath)
-Red interior w/ seats that are in great condition
The pictured wheels have tires mounted that are too tall (in my opinion at least) for the car, but it is still drivable with them. The buyer has the choice between these wheels and tires, or a set of nice Sport Edition 5 spoke wheels in good condition with good tires mounted that are low enough profile to fit better (once again in my opinion).
If you are familiar with engine swaps such as this you will know that few are perfect, and this one has a few current compromises. Some of the electrical items are not functional. There is currently no functional speedometer and therefore odometer, and also the cruise doesn't work. This means the odometer reading is a record of the mileage @ the time of the swap, but based on the previous owner's info, there is less than 5k added since the swap. The car also no longer has power steering, outside of parking lots I actually like this fact, and many will agree, but I wanted to make everyone aware of it. Also AC components are no longer installed (compressor included), and the HVAC system controls are not hooked up. Finally there is a good deal of open space where the gear selector is, and a lot of heat was coming through. I solved this with a couple of packs of wash cloths from Wal Mart. Also likely needs front struts. There is a large crack in the windshield, it is out of the line of vision at the bottom, but it is still there.
I am available to answer any questions that you may have. I also love road trips, so if you would prefer me to deliver to a location ask me and I would be happy to give you a specific quote. I would be happy to assist as much as I can for shipping, but all related costs are the responsibility of the buyer. The car is also available for inspection upon request in Columbus, OH. Once again, this is a no reserve auction, so if you are the high bidder this car is yours.

Honda Fit loses Recommended rating from Consumer Reports
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Thanks to its poor performance in the most recent round of Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash testing, where it received the lowest overall score in the small-overlap test, Consumer Reports has bumped the Honda Fit from its "Recommended" list. When a car gets bumped from the magazine's coveted ranks, it's usually cause for concern. This is not one of those times.
As there is a new Fit barreling towards dealerships for an on-sale date this spring, we wouldn't pay too much credence to the current car's demotion. It's expected that the next-generation Fit should pass the test with flying colors, as CR is quick to point out that newer Hondas have traditionally done very well in the tricky small-overlap crash testing.
Of the subcompact cars tested by the IIHS, only the Kia Rio, which netted a "Marginal" score overall, is a Consumer Reports "Recommended" vehicle.

Car Club USA: CleanMPG Northwest Rally
Tue, May 19 2015Car Club USA heads to Los Angeles for the CleanMPG Northwest Rally, where a group of like-minded hypermiling enthusiasts led by Wayne Gerdes attempts to drive from Los Angeles, CA, to Bend, OR, on one tank of fuel. For this challenge, Wayne tapped some of the most accomplished hypermilers in the world, including Guinness World Record holder Bob Winger and Mike Sefton, "the most fuel efficient driver in all of Canada." It doesn't take long for the competition to get heated. "They're not aggressive enough, and it's not going to save them anything by being soft right now," says Gerdes as the group attempts to navigate the Interstate traffic. "Driving in Los Angeles is a hyper miler's nightmare," says Winger. The trip will challenge both car and driver, while putting the latest fuel-efficient tech to the test. Wayne is piloting the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen TDI, Sefton drives the Audi A3 TDI, and Winger attempts the trek in a Honda Accord Hybrid. It's diesel versus hybrid tech on this fuel-efficient trip of a lifetime. Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog.
