Blue V-8 Convertible Daily Driver Automatic Transmission on 2040-cars
Calera, Oklahoma, United States
I have had the car about 15 years and am second owner after first owners family (first titled in Arkansas). Always garaged during my time, selling to start another project. Car has been in Oklahoma, Arkansas or Texas since built (little rust). Two V-8 donor cars (1963 falcon and 1964 Mercury Comet) were used to replace most components to V-8 standards: wheels are 14 inch, front and rear suspension, rear axle, steering box and column are from V-8 cars as well as engine and 3 speed C-4 automatic transmission. Aluminum radiator. Engine was rebuilt several years ago with about 2,000 miles on it. Runs great. Edelbrock 4 bbl carb and intake manifold. Exhaust headers with professionally installed flowmaster dual exhaust chrome tip. Transmission is C-4; I took this to my transmission guy for check out-he said it is in good shape, resealed and changed oil, shifts a little slowly when cold. If I was going to keep the car I would have transmission gone thru. I found no rust in body panels but floor pans had pinhole rust thru-fixed unprofessionally. Paint was professional but after 7 years has some bubbles. Top is good with clear rear window. Complete air conditioning system is included but not installed-never got around to it. Inside unit is from 1964 comet, I had it checked out, sealed up-works perfectly. Balance of system includes mounting brackets, hoses (use for size-you will need new hoses), transition thru firewall is new, dryer and condenser is there (but you will need these new), also two compressors (sold to me as rebuilt units). Windshield has wiper scratch, all other glass is great. Car could use a new front seat cover back on drivers side, rest of interior is great. $500 deposit thru paypal immediatly after auction ends-non refundable, final payment within 7 days by money wire or cash all funds to be clear before car leaves. Mileage is unknown.

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.
AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction
Sat, Sep 9 2023Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
