Please read the entire description if you are considering bidding on this car. I am listing this car for a friend. It has been owned by him or one of his family members for over thirty years. In the mid 1980's it was his daily driver. During that time a low mileage 1985 or 86 Mustang GT engine was installed along with a C4 automatic transmission. In the late 80's early 90's the car came off the road and went to another family member as a father son project. A Ford eight inch five lug rear and five lug front spindles donated from a 70's Maverick or Granada were installed. Eventually it was returned to the current and former owner who I am listing it for. It has been registered in New York in his name the whole time. It comes with a clear transferable N.Y. registration. Cars this old are not titled in New York. It is a nice body style with the hardtop no post roof. It would make a good father son project. It would not take much to get it on the road and use it while you work on it. Most of what it needs is labor. Also if you keep it in this condition or improve it I think it will continue to hold it's value as they are getting harder to find. Although it needs some work it is solid where it needs to be solid. The torque boxes, rocker panels, radiator support, battery box area, rear rails and trunk floor all look good. The dash is original and has not been cut for a aftermarket stereo. The body looks solid around the front and rear windows. I tried to add as many pictures of these areas as I could. It is solid along the drip rails but I did find two small spots where the paint had chipped off and the body rusted. I will get a better picture of that and add it during the auction. I have plenty of pictures and can take more if needed for specific areas or questions. The engine fires up and sounds very good on a separate gas container. The gas tank needs to be flushed or replaced. I think the tank is the same as early Mustang but am not 100 percent sure. The brakes are not working the pedal goes to the floor. It has had some previous work floors. The worst part of the car is the area under the rear seat where some patch work is needed. The car is structurally sound and could be driven as is once the mechanical issues are resolved. Some time spent with some sheet metal and a MIG machine would make a huge improvement in this car and it's value. It has bucket seats from another car that are in fair but very usable condition. The back seat is not currently in the pictures but it is there in good condition along with front kick panels and door sill plates. The steel channel on the front was bolted to the bumper bracket holes to move the car around without damaging it. I make every effort to describe and picture my items accurately, if you have questions please ask. The car is for sale locally in eastern Long Island N.Y. and the auction may end at any time. The car can be viewed by appointment. The car must be paid for in full and picked up no later than end of day Sunday July 7th unless other arrangements are mutually agreed to prior to auction ending.

Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.
Ford brings FPV Falcon production in house [w/video]
Thu, 21 Feb 2013For the first time since 1976, Ford of Australia is bringing the assembly of its stonking Ford Performance Vehicle line back in-house to the company's Broadmeadows and Geelong facilities. That's a point of pride for FPV, which builds high-performance versions of the Australian Falcon model like the F6, GS and the heroic GT seen here.
In the video below, we hear FPV employees talking in hushed tones about the important legacy that cars like the GT have for Australian gearheads of all stripes, and how proud they are to say that hand-built machines like this GT R-Spec with its Boss 355 engine are now rolling out of their home base. For our part, we're just dying to drive this version of the Coyote V8; the engine is rocking a "Miami" supercharger from Harrop and makes some 450 horsepower.
Continue on below for the video, or you can check out some images of the new FPV at the facility, as well as a gallery of the GT R-Spec car.
How the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor became a reality
Wed, 01 May 2013The camouflaged Ford F-150 SVT Raptor prototype captured above blazing its way across the desert during a test run left company engineers giggling in amazement, reveals Jamal Hameedi in a new Autoweek video. Ford's global performance vehicle chief engineer, accompanied by senior exterior designer Bruce Williams, sat down with the publication to discuss the concept and development of the automaker's super off-road F-150.
Designing a high-performance pickup in 2008, right when the cost of gasoline was going through the roof, seemed insane at the time, but the team pushed forward with the innovative vehicle regardless. The interview includes plenty of Ford B-roll footage as visual candy, and the conversations include discussions about exterior design, ride comfort, anti-lock brake tuning, suspension engineering, weight reduction and why it was necessary to make the Raptor visually different than Ford's standard F-150. The model's origin story is very interesting, and you can learn more about it by watching the video below.
