Nice chance to get one of Fords classic muscle cars the Fairlane 428 SCJ Cobra Jet in the formal roof model. Very had to come by as there were few formal roof cars made, and even fewer with the 428 SCJ engine and options all sitting on a set of hard to find FATBOY 14's on Cragar rims. Lowest price genuine "R" Code 428 SCJ on EBAY
Car had been sitting for several years , so we took the engine apart to do a rebuild. Crankshaft turned smoothly and is needing only minimal work at the machinist. All other components appear to be there except the radiator and air cleaner. (Can include a correct Fairlane air cleaner/flapper unit for additional $500). C6 Cobrajet transmission with Cast Iron tailshaft and R Servo. Only 34k ORIGINAL miles on this engine so its got quite a long life left. VERY low miles for a car of this age and stature.
Car needs a restore, but good candidate for high $$$ return once completed. The reserve is very affordable with a low BUY IT NOW. The engine alone is worth 2/3 of the BUY IT NOW. We did replace one of the floorpans and added 2 rear patch panels. The original frame rails are overall good with only 2 small spots by the rear leaf spring shackles needing attention....but the rest of the underside is still in good shape. Body needs some attention. Older paint job. Car has the 428 reinforced big block shock towers and mounts. Has the original poverty dish hubcaps. Has original jack and jackstand. All glass in tact.
Engine is original 428 Cobra Jet matching numbers engine and will come back cleaned, with all new gaskets ready to run.. We will place it back in the car for transport before you pickup. All engine numbers match up including the auxiliary pieces. (Waterpump, manifolds, fan etc...) Car has the original 9 inch rear axle with nodular rear end...Even has the original Blue Owner card issued to original owner .very desirable features...
Car is sold as-is, how-is with right to inspect. We welcome inspections. Serious bidders only please. NO dealers please. Collectors only. We reserve the right to cancel bids from dealers. We can gladly help with shipping to any of the lower 48, and can also get the best possible price for an overseas buyer also. This is a hard to find collectible SCJ 428 and is easily worth twice the price once restored. We do have this car for sale locally so we reserve the right to remove the car at any time. If you have questions about the car feel free to send us your email or simply call. (We do have 2 other 428 CJ cars from this owners collection that will be auctioned up soon. Please check back)

Ford Fusion getting substantial refresh for 2017
Wed, 13 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of years since Ford rolled out the current Fusion, but if these spy shots are anything to go by, it's already planning what appears to be a substantial update for the mid-size sedan.
According to our paparazzi on the ground, the new Fusion is being prepared for launch late in 2016 or early 2017. Although heavily camouflaged to keep it from prying eyes such as ours, it appears that the updated Fusion will tone down the Aston Martin-style grille, ditch the small corner window with revised front side glass and tweak the vehicle's overall shape. But there's more to the new Fusion than a styling adjustment, and our spy photographers have caught a glimpse inside and taken us along.
Apparently the new Fusion is to get a completely overhauled interior with soft-touch surfaces and matte wood trim to make it seem more upscale. There's an all-new rotary gear selector (like you'd find on a Jaguar, for example) hinting at the implementation of a new nine-speed automatic transmission. The prototype appears to be packing the Microsoft SYNC system, suggesting that the new Blackberry QNX system isn't ready quite yet - though that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be ready by the time the new Fusion is.
Ford debuts Fusion NASCAR racer that edges closer to stock [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013The sixth-generation NASCAR Sprint Cup racecar, which will make its competition debut at the 2013 Daytona 500 this weekend, marks the closest thing to a "stock car" that the sport has seen in more than 20 years. No longer using just stickers to distinguish the different brands, the image above shows the lengths NASCAR and automakers went in order to create a racecar design that more closely resembles the individual cars they represent.
Ford, one of the more open and vocal OEMs regarding the Gen6 car's development, is giving us a closer look at its racing version of the Fusion with a pretty revealing side-by-side comparison with last years' racer (click above for an expanded view). Aside from the more realistic front end and production-like body lines, the overall shape, dimensions and proportions have also been designed to give the racecar a more stock appearance. Most of the new racer was designed by the Ford Design Center, which the automaker says was the first time it has been so involved in the design process since the 1960s. Of course, one area the Sprint Cup Fusion really differs from the production Fusion is its Ford Racing 5.8-liter V8 producing around 850 hp. Can you say Fusion SVT?

Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age
Thu, 17 Jul 2014In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
