Road Ready 1923 Ford Steel Model T Hot Rod
This is a well built hot rod. It was built for my personal use and safety and I have put on a lot of miles with few issues. As you can see by the pictures it has a great paint job, excessive chrome and all the vintage speed parts you would expect. It has never been on a trailer, it has never been in a car show but it is respected by outlaw bikers, disdained by Corvettes and acknowledged by European sport cars. Be the first to take it to cruise night or display it at a car show. Cops generally turn a blind eye to it. As a street sprint it weighs in at less than 1700 pounds and just plain hooks-up and goes. As a road warrior it has highway gears so this little rod loves to cruise. It does have a flat windshield and in 1923 Ford never made a car to exceed 40 mph but this one will double that easy. I have sandblasted the cab, frame and just about all parts. Safety and reliability was my main objective in this and all my builds.
The Build Story In 1965 a California man and his son started collecting and mocking up the little hot rod. The drive train of a 10 year old 1955 Chevrolet Corvette was purchased for the build. The rear axle, transmission and engine were the main components of the purchase. The amazing part of the story is that the engine is a 195 hp 265 cubic inch V8 from 1 of 700 1955 Corvettes made! That means the valve covers and many of the other parts are original 1955 Corvette. The four 97 Stromberg carbs are mounted on an early aftermarket intake. The son moved the project to Montana where it sat in dry storage until 1990 when it was purchased and re-conditioned. There is no rust or patches on the all steel body, it is just that good!
Remember to keep your eye on the finish line, work both pedals, hit your marks and you will win this race! All transactions are guaranteed by Smith and Wesson |

Watch Tanner Foust hustle the Fiesta ST 'round the 'Ring
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The last time we saw Tanner Foust at the Nürburgring he was sloshing an SVT Raptor from kerb to kerb. Sticking with Ford but swapping keys, this time the drift champion and Top Gear USA host goes to the opposite end of the manufacturer's tuner garage and plucks a Fiesta ST for 'Ring duty.
The 179-horsepower front-wheel-driver acquits itself well by the end of the video. But be warned, Foust doesn't set a 'Ring time and it's shot like a commercial... because that's what it is. Still, you can enjoy all two minutes and 31 seconds of it below.
2015 Ford Mustang [w/videos]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013
It'd be unwise to bet against the sixth generation of this legendary nameplate.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is assuredly the most anticipated new vehicle of the year. The redesigned Pony Car has been the subject of frantic gossiping and covert spy photos covering everything from the way it looks to the tech it will include, its performance, mechanicals and a bevy of other aspects of Ford's performance icon.
RTR Spec 5 Concept shows off 2015 Ford Mustang's drifty potential
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Meet the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept, a fully functional drift car that, according to our team in Sin City, has been doling out demo drifts in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Destined to be the flagship of RTR's Tactical Performance Line, the Spec 5 Concept is, in addition to its 5.0-liter Aluminator V8 engine, chock full of performance parts that you can buy for your very own 2015 Mustang. In addition to the Ford Racing engine, the OEM parts supplier has lent the Spec 5 an aluminum radiator and a close-ratio six-speed transmission.
ASD Motorsports provided the front lower control arms, while the car itself rides on a fully customized coilover suspension. Magnaflow and American Racing have provided the exhaust system and headers, respectively. 20-inch HRE wheels, designed for RTR, are wrapped in sticky Nitto rubber.
