Up for your consideration, one 1923 Custom Ford T Bucket Fiberglass Kit Car. Vehicle has big block with single 4 barrel carburetor, 3 speed automatic floor shift and independent coil-over chromed Jaguar rear end. The independent rear end has an inboard disc braking system. The vehicle has the upgraded tubular front axle rather than the I-beam. Vehicle contains custom wire wheels, front and back. These wheels are mounted with 4 inch newer 4 inch wide front tires and massive 18 inch rear ones. This is an excellent running vehicle. There, of course, always has to be one glitch. While going to freshen up the front brakes, one of my beloved grandchildren lost one of the disc pads. I made some inquiries, but could not match it. (Photo of errant disc enclosed.) It should be a simple feat for someone. Reason for selling is simple, I'm almost 70 years of age and thinning the herd of cars. If anyone is interested, I also have a 1991 Corvette ZR1 with 30,000 original miles just listed on Cars.com. These vehicles, as with all used cars, will be sold with no warranties.

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers
Thu, 12 Jun 2014For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
2015 Ford Mustang stars in bizarrely awesome '80s aerobics video
Wed, 30 Apr 2014For reasons we can't comprehend, here's a music video starring the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang and a number of dancers dressed and styled in the most stereotypically 1980s way possible. The dancers then take part in a male-versus-female dance off. Again, we've no idea why it exists.
It's weird, and for the second time in two weeks, we're sat at our computer wondering, "What are we watching?" That said, it does show the new Mustang from a number of angles, and it's one of the first car-related YouTube videos we've seen that's available in a 4K, ultra-high-def stream.
