 Go back to 1969 and you will find the only year till this year, that THE KING ever drove a blue oval beauty. He did however tear up the racing world in a beautiful PETTY BLUE TORINO COBRA. As the year wore on and the coming of the Daytona's and the super birds, Ford sought to capitalize on the King's season before he jumped ship. They reached out to a select number of southern dealers for a promotion to sell petty blue cobras. The cars were all 351 engines with the exception of I believe 3. The 3 were special promo cars and were all big block 428 cars. These were given away as sweepstakes cars. This car is one of the all original 428 cars and has a just shy of 100k original miles on it. The car is a survivor and hasn't been restored or messed with. The pics you will see are the actual car and have NOT been photo enhanced. The bottom of the car is perfect and better than most one year old cars. the interior, with exception of a good cleaning is perfect. The car runs and drives superb with no flaws and tons of power. The engine purrs and holds nothing back. The car is a factory ordered bench seat c-6 automatic car with the beast, the 428 cj motor backing it up. I hate to sell this car but I have opened a new shop and need to thin out our inventory. I have talked on 2 occasions to a retired NASCAR driver that I have promised not to mention by name that has tried to buy this car twice and I told him I wanted to run on ebay before I actually considered his offer. It is for sale locally and available for viewing and driving before auction ends. I will be glad to make it available to any inspector or you personally for inspection. The car has its flaws in the paint and one surface rust spot under hood but again, I think I would hurt the value of the car by doing anything to it as it is in great shape and runs like a dream. This car is a show stopper anytime I take it out. Marti report shows this as a Promo car and after talking at great length to one of the biggest Ford store owners in the area, he verified all the information I have given you. I have also talked at great lengths with the Petty Foundation and other members of the southeastern Nascar promotions dept, who all verify the Ford Promotions that released these cars to the public. The color code on the door plaque is blank as it should be with any custom or promo cars from Ford of that era. Car is titled and is in locked down dry storage with our other 50 cars. This is truly a one of a kind piece of Ford and Petty history for that collector that wants to have something nobody else has. I have spent a year searching everywhere on the net and only found records of one more of these cars. So bid often and ask any questions you want. The number to our shop is 706-778-3235 or feel free to use the ebay ask question button.  First pic is that of Petty's car and the rest are of the car your bidding on. I have already turned down two of the high end auction companies that wanted to pick the car up and I don't need any help selling it. No scammers because Ive seen it all before. I build and restore cars for a living and did corp contract law for 15 years, so if you think you can scam me, think again. NO JOY RIDERS ECT,

Ford Australia debuts Ranger-based Everest SUV concept

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Ford has been in hot water in Australia ever since it announced plans to end local production of the Falcon and Territory SUV. Besides canceling a model that is to Oz what the Mustang is to America, the end of production means more than a few folks will be out of work.
Keen to prove that it has a plan for the market, Ford has unveiled the Aussie-penned Everest Concept, a rough-and-tumble, seven-seat SUV. While not a direct replacement for the aging Territory (that role will eventually be filled by either the Edge or Flex, according to Car Advice) it's an indication from Ford's brass that the Blue Oval is still committed to Australia.
To prove that fact, Alan Mullaly, Mark Fields, Jim Farley and regional execs descended on Sydney for the debut of the new concept. Ford's Australian president and CEO, Bob Graziano, said of the Everest, "Our customers, our employees and Australia can be assured that we're connected to the nation and committed to our customers through terrific products with class-leading technologies."

Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes

Sun, 29 Dec 2013

Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]

Sun, 20 Jan 2013

Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
