You are bidding on a 1926 Ford Chopped Hot Rod / Rat Rod w Rebuilt Chevy 350 Motor (Model T). The car has a rebuilt Chevy 350 Motor 30 overbore w/ a bigger cam w/ about 100 hours on it, a rebuilt turbo 350 transmission, Ford 9 inch rear end, tunnel ram intake w/ dual Etolebrock 500 carburetors, MFB Electronic Ignition, and Aluminum radiator w/ built in trans cooler. I've done a lot of work on the car and she still has a little bit more to go, but is a great start for anyone looking to turn her into a full blown Hot Rod! Car runs, drives, and stops fine! Back tires are like new, front tires are a little bit older but still work great. Lead black matte paint is clean w/ "Lanchester" (Bride of Frakenstein) logo on the side. Work that still needs to be done/ improvements that could be made are: needs to be fine tuned, interior needs to be completed, I put a low car trans dip stick in it which doesn't quite feel properly on the trans (causes small leak, but not coming from the case), for the best performance you can put a regular intake with a single four barrel carb to get the best off the line torque (but the tunnel ram with the dual quads just looks awesome and the car STILL RIPS!) and although I put the small MSP distributer in it, it's very close to the firewall so when I stop on the gas when the motor torques it comes a little bit out of timing (taking a small portion out of the firewall I would recommend). Buyer handles pick-up or delivery of car. Message me with any questions and thanks for looking.

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
Watch this Ford F-150 SVT Raptor fly like an eagle [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Feb 2013The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is a very capable truck right out of the box, but "capable" has never translated into "invincible." Just ask the owner of the machine in this video. In it, the driver gets frisky with an aggressive jump with plenty of speed on his hands. The result is enough air to make Vaughn Gittin Jr. blush. As always, it's not the launch that's painful, but the re-entry. Gravity eventually asserts its dominance over the $43,630 pickup in a big way, and when it comes crashing down, it does so with a vengeance.
The impact was hard enough to set off both the alarm and multiple airbags inside the cabin. It's unclear if anyone was injured in the stunt, but we certainly wouldn't be surprised to hear that was the case. You can check out the stunt in the video below, and remember, when in doubt, back out of the throttle. Be warned, there may be some explicit/NSFW language in the clip.
UPDATE: Second video added with an even better look at the jump added below.
Riding along in Ford's bonkers Fiesta ST Global RallyCross car [w/video]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013
The Mountune-worked Fiesta ST GRC does 0-to-60 mph in 1.9 seconds.
On any given day, and every single weekend, there's at least one parking in the country invaded by manufacturer and team trucks. The be-chromed beasts and their 53-foot trailers are slotted into rows, men and women decorate the lot with orange cones to mark the invisible tracery of a temporary track, cars get unloaded, crews fret over them. The ritual can be as beautiful as the sunrise to those with enthusiast hearts, but it's just as common.
