1958 Ford Fairlane 2 dr Hardtop street legal straight axle vintage drag style car. Powered by a tunnel rammed Olds 455 with dual Holleys. Drive train is a TH 400 and 390 gears. This is a great car for your weekend cruise, local car show, or some time at your favorite track.
* Olds 455 30 over and balanced, crank is 10 and 10, hi volume oil pump with 6 1/2 quart pan. Crower hydraulic cam. G heads with port and polish, Ferrea stainless valves, Comp Cams roller rockers, and ARP head studs to hold then down. * Offy tunnel ram with a pair or Holley 600 vacuum secondary carbs. * MSD ignition and distributor * Custom side exit exhaust have removable caps * Dual pass aluminum radiator with electric fan * Th 400 transmission and 3500 rpm Coan stall speed * 3.90 Richmond gears. locker differential and 28 spline Superior axles * 1956 Ford F100 front axle with disc brake conversion with line lock installed. 1956 F100 steering gear box rebuilt this year. * Full set of Autometer Gauges that all work with exception of the fuel pressure gauge that is just not hooked up. Yes it has a working speedometer. * Procar seats and Simpson harness on the drivers side with regular belt for the passenger. There are not a lot of frills in the interior. All windows go up and down. * M&H street strip tires in the rear, 275/60/15s on custom 10" rims. Protrack front runners on 3.5 wide slots. * Rear wheel wells have been pushed out to clear the giant tires and some of outer quarter panel has been trimmed to allow some of the original look. I did not want to tub it. * The body is in good overall condition and has some panels replaced like one rocker and one of the quarter panels. It does however have some body filler in one of the rockers and front of the fenders. The tilt front needs a little more body work to be as good as the rest of the car, but its not to bad. The floors are now all flat steel. * The tilt front is all steel and can be opened using one hand. Has a quick disconnect for the lights and can be removed easily. The hood can also be removed with screws holding it on. * Summit epoxy primer was used for the exterior finish sealing it up. So if someone wants to paint the car it would not be a huge ordeal. The engine was just though and has 54 miles on it. The transmission may have 200 miles or so on it. There is not much on the car that isn't fairly new or hasn't been replaced it the last few years. This car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the action early unless the reserve is met, then it will run to the end. The wet spots under the car in the pictures are from condensation from the exhaust. It was 15 degrees out when I took the pics |

Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
Vaughn Gittin Jr. takes his dog for a drift
Tue, 09 Sep 2014
Vaughn Gittin Jr. spends a great deal of his workday going sideways, but he's usually alone in the endeavor. For a guy that is clearly a dog lover, we imagine that can get a bit lonely.
That won't be a problem for Gittin in this latest video, which features the racer hanging out with his good pal Brody (a dog) and everyone's favorite hot hatch, the Ford Fiesta ST.
Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
