Here's a chance to get your butt into a pretty bad ass, head turning hot rod. My friend, Dylan of the band "Reckless Ones", owns this car and built it years ago. He has had the car for almost 8 years, and has decided its finally time to part with it. It has been sitting for a couple years while the band toured and he decided he just couldn't give it the time/love this car needs. It has been in multiple car magazines, coffee table book, and even a MUSIC VIDEO!
The car was built to resemble a 50's altered drag sedan, its a 29 ford model A tudor, it has been chopped 6 inches, channeled about 6. It is on a stock but modified (z'd and boxed) frame. The front end consists of a 33-36 ford axle with 40 ford wishbones, and the axle was modified to accept 1954 chevy spindles and brakes. Also on the front are 49-53 chevy rims with coker 560-15 tires (Kasler retreaded pie slit drag slicks on the rear). The rear suspension consists of a 66 olds cutlass 8.2 rear end and trailing arm type suspension with coil springs and tube shocks. The transmission is a th350 that has a stall converter and shift kit. Now the best part of the whole car, the motor, its a rebuilt 283 with forged pistons and a comp cams camshaft, later model 76 cc heads to lower the compression to a tolerable level for the blower. The heads had hardened seats and bronze liners installed. The motor was bored and completely rebuilt, crank ground, new oil pump timing chain lifters bearings rings, etc etc. The intake is an offenhauser intake modified to accept a 6-71 blower, the blower had been rebuilt for the street. To top it all off is a vintage and rare weiand 8x2 blower top with 8 holley 94 carbs(modified to fit the intake, it was intended for 97's), the car is running only 4 of the 8 carbs to alleviate some of the trouble! The car was built about 10 years ago and all mechanical aspects were new, kingpins, tie rod ends, brake lines, wheel cylinders, master cylinder etc etc. The original 283 was weak so the new motor was built 4 or so years ago and doesn't have a huge amount of miles on it (under 1000 miles). The radiator is located at the rear of this car and is a new replacement 70s gm 3 core radiator cooled with two nice large electric fans. Now i will try and describe some of the issues the car has...... it needs a higher stall converter, it has a 2000 ish stall and could use a 2700-3000 ish stall to make the car much more drive-able. It has 4 carbs, with the 4 carbs it can be finicky... the car was built when Dylan was 20 so he learned a lot so, it might not have the prettiest welds but it will hold together.A month after he finished it he took it on a 800 mile round trip and had very little problems with it. It has never had to do any major work on it to keep it on the road. After the 2 year slumber he went out charged the battery and it started up and drive it 20 miles to my house, we spend a day on it tidying some stuff up and going over the carbs to get it back up to good running condition. These things take some work, some love (all the time) but that's the cost of having such a different and special car. Care has to be taken with the cooling system to make sure there are no air pockets, he has never had any problems with it overheating except when there was an air pocket. This is an old car and drives like one. I am 6-2 and Dylan a little shorter, he fits ok but im not very comfortable in the car. It is what it is. One more thing, the car is title and registered as a 29 dodge, at the time he bought he car it was a junkyard body and hadn't had a title nor vin code for many years. He had planned to find a ford title for it but never had the time. If the car were to go overseas we could looking into finding a ford title for it but at the cost of the buyer. Note: The gauges in the firewall were just mounted but not connected The shipping costs and arrangements are all the buyers responsibility, I will be here and help with the loading etc etc but that's it. The car could be kept here for a few weeks or but any longer and we'll would have to make arrangements. When purchasing this car a $500 paypal deposit will have to be made with in 48 hours of purchase then we will arrange the rest after that.

Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.
Ford unveils its facelifted Falcon finale with new XR8
Thu, 24 Jul 2014While its days may be numbered, Ford isn't just going to let its Falcon sedan limp out for the Australian market. No, the Blue Oval is releasing a refreshed Falcon for its final years, and it's lead by this, the new XR8. That's right, this dead-car-driving is going to go out on a high note.
Ford's global design DNA dominates the looks of the new Falcon, with a grille reminiscent of the US market Fusion and the European-market Mondeo. The headlights aren't a straight port, and boast their own unique LED running light pattern (at least on the XR8), but the overall look is strikingly similar. Out back, LED taillights highlight the rear of the Faclon. Despite the substantial new fascia, this is still a mid-cycle refresh. That means most of the rest of the Falcon's body panels are carryovers from the current model.
The XR8 model, shown above, arrives with a supercharged V8, allegedly displacing 5.0 liters. Unfortunately, details on the Falcon's mechanicals are in remarkably short supply. Ford has committed to a range of turbocharged four, as well as turbocharged and naturally aspirated six-cylinders, in addition to the V8, although specifics on those mills aren't available.
Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
