I got this car from an older man that could no longer care for the car due to his age. He has owned the car since 1974. and titled the car in 1985. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION. Please do not bid on this car if you have 0 feedback call me . The car seems to be very solid the only rust I could find was behind the passenger headlight, and it looks like he tried to fix it. the rest of the car if it had any rust was cut out and real metal was replaced. The frame is in great shape, as is the floor pans and the rest of the underside of the car. very solid body under this car. the galss is all good but the windshield it was new but when they put it in he cracked it. The motor is original I do not know what size motor it is. The car drives nice and shifts fine. The head lights work the wipers work gas gauge works, speedo works, horn works. ect... The top did go up when he showed me and the body man, but I do not know how to do it he jumped some wires to get it to go up and down because the switch is bad,I have another switch coming. The wires in the trunk were cut and need fixed. The older guy painted the car red why I do not know so I had it painted back to its original color, and the paint looks great. The intior is all original and seems to bee all there. I do not know much about this cars but i do know they sell parts for this cars, new and used. There are a few trim peaces missing and an emblem I never got them. The tires on the car are shot and need replaced . The chrome on the car such as the bumpers are real nice. This will make some one a nice car if they take the time to finish it. It does have a new gas tank, battery, and some other new parts. The car looks really good. I will end the auction early. any ? please call 419-571-9777.

Shelby American cleans house of 14 concept cars
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Typically when an automaker rolls out a concept car or pre-production prototype, it does its tour and then disappears into the company's archives. Maybe it will be displayed for the public to see in the company's own museum or maybe it will spend most of its time under covers in a warehouse somewhere, but every once in a while, an automaker will open up its history and start selling off its concept cars. For Shelby American, "once in a while" has just rolled around.
The House that Carroll Built is moving from its previous headquarters at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to a new facility off of the Las Vegas strip, and in the process is liquidating fourteen of the rarest cars in its collection. That presents a tremendous opportunity for muscle car collectors to bring one or more of these snakes home.
As you might expect, the catalog is composed mostly of Mustangs, but not exclusively. There's a pair of 289 Cobras: the last of the 50th anniversary slab-sided continuation cars and an original development vehicle, offered at $200,000 apiece. At the other end of the spectrum you'll find the 2013 Shelby Raptor concept for $125k and Focus concept for $50k. And of course there are the Mustangs.
The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
