The car was built in California by pro builder Jordan Graham as a period correct 50s-60s era hot rod. He was contracted by Dupli-Color to build the car for their "Paint Shop Restoration Series" and when the car was completed, it was featured at SEMA 2012. This car was built the old school way using all old or NOS parts on the body.

Body: Real 29 ford, 32 ford grill, 5" chopped tilt windshield with stainless posts, 35 ford dash with glove box, 50 Pontiac tail lights, 28 fluted Model A headlights with integrated running lights.

Frame: 1932 Ford Squeak Bell with boxed rails, Model A cross member, Chassis Engineering X-member, ladder bar rear suspension.

Drivetrain: 1969 "010" 4 bolt main 350 small block built by NHRA legend Bob Joehnck of Santa Barbara CA, steel crank, 10:1 Keith Black pistons, Duntov 30-30 cam, roller rockers, decked block, progressive 3x2 intake and carb setup, sounds awesome through the vintage 60's style Gear Drive lake headers with integrated mufflers and turnouts, reliable and runs cool all day long at 170 degrees! Backed by a vintage B&M TH350 3 speed auto trans that was completely rebuilt as well and 9" Ford rear end. Vintage Ford 4 wheel hydraulic drum brakes, period 16" steel wheels with Ford V8 caps and brand new bias ply tires.

Interior: Vintage side panels and pleated 60s bucket seats, period correct wood floors, spoon gas pedal, 39 Ford brake pedal.

This car is the real deal, not a hacked pile of crap, not a glass replica. It is a real Ford steel, California black plate old school hot rod!

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.

2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang debuts at Lagun Seca

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Saleen used the occasion of the race-fueled Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to announce its new Heritage Collection Lineup. The event was punctuated with the debut of the collection's first member, the 2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang.
Follmer's name will likely sound familiar to fans of American racing in the 1960s and '70s. The driver competed in Formula One with the Shadow team in 1973, ran the Indianapolis 500, was the Can-Am champion in 1972 and drove stock cars in NASCAR's Winston Cup as well. The multi-disciplined driver is now one of three -the other two being Mark Donohue and Swede Savage - with the honor of upcoming, limited edition Saleen-tuned vehicles..

Ford looks to protect logo from Toronto mayor followers

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

One is a member of the Detroit Three and the maker of the Mustang, Fusion, Explorer and F-150. The other is an admitted loudmouthed, drunk-driving, crack-smoking mayor in Canada. Unfortunately for one, it shares its name with the other. Yes, Ford Motor Company is going to great lengths to keep its iconic Blue Oval logo from being appropriated by supporters of besieged Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
At a United Way event earlier this week, some of Mayor Ford's fans showed up with shirts that featured the automaker's logo with the words "Ford Nation," on them. Naturally, Mayor Ford signed them. FoMoCo was quick to issue an unhappy statement:
"Ford did not grant permission for use of its logo. We view it as an unauthorized use of our trademark and have asked it to be stopped," spokesperson Jay Cooney said. There was also a statement from Ford of Canada's Twitter account after a user alerted the company:
