 OK guys, this is an ex-mud racer turned sand toy (well almost).  I have owned it for 18 or 19 years.  It was originally campaigned as a mud racer from the early 80's to about '89 or '90.  I purchased it and set to work rebuilding and further modifying it to suit the sand drag racing and duning use that I had in mind.  I have countless hours and cash invested in this little truck and have had it running but never drove it.  The motor is a de-stroked (289 high nickel crank) 302 with aluminum rods, forged pistons, Lunati cam and lifters, Weiand tunnel ram, two Holleys etc, etc.  The trans is a built C4 with a full manual valve body and an 8" convertor.  I have a pair of 16.50 paddles and a pair of 20.00 paddles that are mounted on lightweight steel wheels also.  The motor was freshened up many years ago and ran for cam break-in only.  It has been oiled down and turned over by hand a couple of times a year since.  It  is not currently ready to run and I am not going to get it running to sell.  The paint was done in the mid 80's and still looks great today!  Check out all the airbrush work, even the grill and lights plus the reaper scenes.  The truck does need a few things to make it complete some of which are shifter and cable, wiring harness built (minimal in a race car), harnesses (they would be out of date if I had them anyway), gauges installed, fuel pump, etc.  Most of the hard work has been done.

This will make someone a great toy with fairly minimal work left to do.  I have set a reasonable reserve and will let the auction run it's course.  I have described the Bronco fairly and as such am selling it as-is, where-is with no warranty expressed or implied.  I take my auctions seriously, please give me the courtesy of doing the same.

Thanks

Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:

Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon

Tue, Jan 3 2017

The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.
