Here is a very nice 30 A Coupe mounted on a made-to-fit 32 chassis. This car started as a clean, rust-free NC body which was then chopped 4" with the roof being filled in the process. It has a very nicely constructed full steel floor from firewall to tail lights with a louvered pan in the rear. The chassis is a unit built for this purpose by one of the best and well known race car builders in the NE. The rails are pinched to fit the 30 body and also bobbed in the rear. Crossmembers are well built using square tubing and the whole unit is a work of art in itself. The rear is a new Winters quick-change using 3:22 helicals that is not locked, uses normal Ford type brakes and has radius rods, panhard bar and coil-overs. There is a lot of polished aluminum, chrome and stainless along with well done AN hoses on fuel and transmission lines. All the info on the engine is from the builder who tells me that it is a LT1 350 using pink rods, forged pistons, roller rockers, .538 lift cam with World Products heads, MSD ignition, Walker radiator, Edelbrock air gap and carb and headers. I cannot document any of the engine internals but it certainly runs well. Exhaust is full polished stainless from front to rear and is another work of art in itself. Interior is nicely done with a full compliment of gauges, tilt wheel and a heater. Wheels are Halibrand copies and are very nice. This little car starts, runs, drives and stops very well and would make an excellent low cost starter hot rod which could be taken to the next level if desired. It is and always has been a driver as indicated by the current graveyard of bugs on the radiator, these are thrown in at no extra cost to the new owner. All the aluminum on the car could use polishing but then you would need sun glasses. Also included is a three piece hood that fits rather well and is held in place by Zeus fasteners when desired. All three parts can be used or just the top if desired. Most questions about what is included can be answered by carefully looking at the photos. In the interest of honesty and full disclosure there are a few things that should be addressed although the car is fine to use as-is. As I sadly learned recently, a lie of omission is still a lie. First it has no e-brake whatsoever although the holes are present in the backing plates to add cables. One front tire is worn on the outside from being used on another car with questionable alignment. The steering wheel is very nice 17" Schroeder but with the car being so small and the steering so easy a 15" would make entry and exit somewhat easier. Another item I would change is the very tall Lokar shift handle which almost reaches the ceiling, awkward to reach the lockout at best. Lastly, the Sun tach does not function but may be looked at in the future if time allows. I am sure there may be some other questionable areas as on any used car but I have not found them. If I do they will be posted. Title is a clear and open NYS title/registration. This car is now listed elsewhere and may be sold at any time. Looking for vintage Triumph motorcycle trade-in.

Ford Mondeo classes up with premium Vignale trim
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.
Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]
Fri, 16 May 2014When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.
Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.
