1964 Fairlane two door post coupe - THUNDER BOLT clone??? This is a solid, rustfree California car that's now running a newer Mustang GT 5.0L HO EFI motor. Engine has been modified with Edelbrock performer heads and a nice sounding E-303 roller cam. The trans is FoMoCo's indestructable C-4 auto, the rear is an 8" POSI, running street friendly 3:50 gears. It has a brand new 2-1/2 inch exhaust with flowmaster mufflers which runs to the back of the car, she sounds nice and throaty but not obnoxious. The inside is very clean with cloth covered buckets and rear bench, floor shifter is your tried and true B&M competition shifter. This old gal runs and drives perfect and is a perfect base to built your ThunderBolt Clone - it's already got the right hood! The buyer has a choice of wheels - we have a set of draglite wheels 4" front and 7" back, or 7" steel wheels and 4" torque thrust wheels as seen on car in the pics. It'll be the buyer's choice or make a deal for all of them? This car has no rust in the floors or the trunk. It has great paint with a couple of minor blemishes. It has been well taken care of and was always garage kept. Overall it's a really nice car that has plenty of power which runs and drives great!

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall
Wed, 05 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.
Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
