Selling my 23 T Bucket project. I've been collecting parts for this for over 10 years and I just don't have the room to store it anymore so its time to let it go. Here is a list of what is included-

Fiberglass T Bucket body with short bed glassed to tub. Plywood floor is glassed in already and body is channeled over frame rails. Body is pretty old and dirty and has some dings in the gelcoat but should finish up nice. Has an older chrome windshield frame in fair condition and a new spun aluminum gas tank in the bed. 

Frame is a professionally built and made from 2x4 box tubing. Currently has a late 40's Ford truck axle in front and a late 70's Bronco Dana 44 rear axle in back. Axles are mocked up as a roller to move the car. Both have drum brakes that will need rebuilt. Has a reversed Corvair steering box and linkages to hook it up. Has older 70's style chrome wheels with new but older Dunlop tires that are in nice shape. 

Also have a full chrome front and rear suspension setup with Carerra coil overs and a chrome leaf spring in front. Axle for this setup is a chrome tube style and I have 53 Chevy Bel Air spindles for it with a new kingpin kit to install them. No brakes with this setup but disc brake kits are readily available for the Bel Air spindles. 

Motor is a good rebuildable Chevy 350 with a 4160 Holley carb and older Weiand stealth manifold in fair condition but useable. I pulled one of the heads on the motor to check the bore and it is nice. Will probably need gone through but is a great core to start with. Has older chrome valve covers and some chrome dress up parts for the front drive. Also have a new timing chain set for it. 

Trans is an older turbo 400 and was rebuilt in the 80's and never used. Should be good to go since its been inside since it was rebuilt. Also have a short drive shaft to hook it up to the Dana 44. 

Set of chrome long tube T Bucket headers that are new but will need polished from sitting. They should clean up really nice though. 

Have some wiring and a set of headlights in fair condition that should work good. Also some other small light parts too. 

Brand new Walker T Bucket radiator with a 23 fiberglass grille shell and electric fan. Also a polished overflow tank and a repro Boyce Motometer cap that is new and nice. 

A decent set of fiberglass fenders. One is slightly warped from storage but will straighten out nice when mounted. They are pretty old and I don't know if they even make these anymore.

Also a whole box of miscellaneous small parts and brackets, shifters, brake parts, and lots of nuts and bolts. 

If you have been looking to build one of these you know how much it costs just to get this many parts together. My starting price is less than half of what it would cost to buy this stuff new. Car is located outside Cleveland Ohio at my shop if you would like to set up an appointment to see it. Car would probably fit in the back of a long bed truck or a 10' or longer trailer. I can't ship it though due to the amount of loose parts. Car does not have a title since it is considered a kit car but I will provide winning bidder with a detailed bill of sale for titling purposes. $500 deposit through Paypal due within 24 hours of auction end. Car must be picked up and paid in full within 7 days of auction end. No reserve so winning bid takes it home!

Watch Ken Block's scary Rally America crash from inside the cockpit

Wed, 19 Feb 2014

Ken Block became famous for his series of Gymkhana videos, but he's a real racer in his own right. Block has competed many rounds in the FIA World Rally Championship and also rallied in the 2013 Rally America series. He nearly won that latter title last year - if not for a massive crash in the final event of the season.
Block and his co-driver Alex Gelsomino went into the Lake Superior Performance Rally needing a win to take the championship. However, missing a clump of dirt on the side of the road and one little word in the pace notes was all it took to catapult Block's Fiesta off the road and into a tumbling accident. Block says his initial reaction was anger because the crash came out of nowhere.
For 2014, Block is joining the FIA World Rallycross Championship for at least three rounds. He'll drive a Ford Fiesta for the Hoonigan Racing Division at the Norwegian, French and Turkish events of the 12-round championship. Former Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve will also compete in the series.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
