Up for sale is my 56 Ford Victoria - I have owned this car for close to 20 years.

Body/Paint- Paint is now 1 year old- paid 8K for paint....body is very straight.....this is an original CA car...body panels are original....no rust replacement....all original metal....Car is painted 2012 Mustang Red/Black....as I do drive the car- you will find a road chip here or there but over all in excellent shape as the car is garage kept under a cover - all emblems have been shaved

Chrome/Stainless- Very nice shape- car was built as a driver so you are going to find the normal imperfections here and there- but definitely presentable at car shows- if you are looking for a 100 point trailer queen where every piece of chrome and stainless is absolutely perfect- this is not your car- bumpers are smoothed

suspension/ brakes- front end/ steering box completely rebuilt 2000 miles ago- you can drive the car with one finger down the freeway- jamco lowering springs front and rear, Granada spindles and front disc brakes- also went to the larger station wagon sway bar so car handles very nicely  

Motor- 428Cj Edelbrock aluminum heads/10.1 compression/Crane Cam (over 540 lift so has a nice beefy idle) Edelbrock 427 intake manifold/ custom build headers and a custom one off MagnaFlow Exhaust System built by MagnaFlow (I work for MagnaFlow) Just the custom built headers and exhaust alone at any shop would be easily 2500 worth of work- The motor was put together by a friend of the family who used to build FE motors back in the 60s for drag boats- anyone familiar with Cobra Jet motors will tell you someone either knows how to build a Cobra Jet motor or they don't- and this motor was built right - transmission is a build C6 with a 2500 stall converter - with the huge Griffin radiator/ extra electric fans- car runs cool - stays right around 180-190 in 90 degree weather

Car is a definite sleeper!

 

Interior- nice shape- again car is not a trailer queen - but it has some nice touches.....autometer tach/ temp gauge down below B&M shifter- also went to a custom steering wheel which resembles the original wheel but is much smaller- aftermarket radio looks like the original one but has IPOD hook up

This is a great car- I hate to sell it but I need the money so I can go back to school and get my Masters Degree. Car was built to drive- but is still more then nice enough to drive into any car show pop the hood and grab attention as you see a ton of 55-56-57 Chevys but never seem to see any Fords

Please feel free to give me a call with any questions Brent -949-633-0946

2013 Ford Mustang V6

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Secretary Trim, Evolved
There was a time not so long ago when opting for a base Ford Mustang meant getting little more than some sheetmetal, an anemic four-cylinder engine and what may very well have been the world's most disappointing automatic transmission. During the Fox Body years, Ford seemed hell-bent on living up to Carroll Shelby's derogatory description of the coupe as little more than a runabout for demure office assistants, and the result was a base model with fewer sporting intentions than a Dilbert day calendar.
Some 20 years later, hopping behind the wheel of an entry-level pony is an entirely different experience. With all of the menacing aesthetics of the brawnier GT, a well-equipped interior and a drivetrain that toes the line between efficiency and power better than few before it, the 2013 Ford Mustang V6 is an attractive option for buyers in the big coupe market. But is it attractive enough to forgo the beastly GT?

Ford 3D-printing Mustang out of chocolate and candy for Valentine's Day

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

Is your beloved in love with the new 2015 Ford Mustang? Do they like chocolate (that's a trick question - everyone likes chocolate)? Are they a bit of a futurist? Then this Hallmark holiday, you need to get them this Ford Mustang, 3D-printed in sweet, delicious chocolate.
Ford is teaming with 3D Systems' Sugar Lab in LA to produce the super-accurate pony car confections in both chocolate and sugar candy varieties. The process kicked off with a CAD rendering of the 2015 Mustang, which was then programmed into the 3D printer. After a bit of work from the machine, a four-inch long, two-inch tall Mustang was the result. Why the tieup with 3D Systems, though?
"We wanted to create something fun to show that while 3D printing made these edible Mustangs, manufacturing-level 3D printing was used in the development of Ford's all-new sports car," said Paul Susalla, Ford's supervisor of 3D printing.

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
