NO RESERVE PRIVATE AUCTION
2009 Grand National Roadster Show - Suede Palace Trophy winner ('Best Rod - Ruiz Pick'). Opening night (big annual event) El Cajon, CA, Classic Car winner. Note: trophies come with car. 

Vintage 50 year old hotrod that began life as a 1930 coupe converted to a roadster in the late 50's / early 60's. Comes with some old pictures, articles, and trophies as well as contact information to reach the original builder's family in Kansas - some famous ownership. Comes with early NHRA badge. Many vintage parts on car. Buggy type suspension with front drop axle, rear longitudinal springs. 352 Packard V8 had around 275-315hp stock. Transmission is also Packard and works well. I have enjoyed this car very much, but have decided to put my energy into a new project. Merry Christmas! Hope the best person wins it.

A local San Diego hotrod shop has done the following work:
Body was taken off frame 3 weeks ago and stripped to bare metal - mostly rust-free, with only a few small areas of rot (see pictures). Note body was once a coupe but was converted 50+ years ago. Engine was also dismantled weeks ago to put in new seals, but it was discovered that there was a repaired crack in the block (352 Packard V8). The repair was made with JB weld epoxy it is believed. The crack is not in a critical location and so it could be put back together as-is (ran well before) or you could have the block welded or replaced. Hotrod shop will put the engine back together for $250 or put the whole car back together for $1500 to 2000. They will also load the car on a trailer if preferred (car is still at hotrod shop.)

Ford honors Chinese Year of the Horse with Vaughn Gittin Jr., Mustang video

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Calendar years and fiscal years tend to be the only timetables automakers concern themselves with, but that doesn't mean there isn't recognition of other measures of time. Ford has opted to observe the Chinese zodiac, largely because the Year of the Horse ended just last week. That's fortuitous timing, considering the first Ford Mustangs were making their way towards the People's Republic as celebrations were carrying on. To recognize this fact, and the end of the Year of the Horse, Ford recruited drift king Vaughn Gittin, Jr., to take a 2015 Mustang GT to the streets of Ordos City, in north-central China. It's not as dramatic as some of Ford's recent videos, like the one starring Ken Block and the Ford Focus RS, but it's pretty cool all the same. Take a look.

Ford recalls EcoBoost-powered F-150 and SUVs for brake fluid leak

Wed, Mar 23 2022

Ford is recalling approximately 280,000 trucks and SUVs equipped with its 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine to address a potential brake fluid leak. The recall covers the 2016-2017 Ford F-150, 2016-2017 Ford Expedition and the 2016-2017 Lincoln Navigator.  According to Ford's defect report, the issue stems from contamination in the brake fluid causing degradation or damage to the seals in the brake master cylinder, allowing fluid to escape. Ford says that braking performance is not immediately impacted by the leak, and owners may not realize there's a problem until a brake malfunction indicator appears in the cluster, accompanied by a chime.  "If the brake fluid in the reservoir is depleted to a predetermined level, the driver will receive an audible chime, message center alert, and red brake warning indicator in the instrument cluster," Ford said in its defect report to NHTSA. "If the driver continues to operate the vehicle, the drive may begin to experience a change in brake pedal travel and feel, and increased pedal effort." "If a loss of brake fluid is substantial enough to reduce brake function to the front wheels, full braking function would remain in the rear wheel circuit. However, reduced brake function in the front wheels can extend stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash," Ford said.  The issue can be addressed with a replacement brake master cylinder, which Ford will install free of charge. Ford has already begun notifying dealers and will send notices to customers starting in April.  Recalls Ford Lincoln Ownership Safety Truck SUV

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
