Up for auction is this original 1927 Ford Model T Racer. The chassis, body and engine are original. Original restored wire wheels. This awesome ride goes 50 mph with no hesitation. Completely rebuilt transmission using Kevlar bands, Jack Rabbit clutch, Springs, Bushings, etc. The engine was rebuilt last year professionally for performance and reliability. Since completion last year, I have driven this car on average of 4-5 times a week around town, weather permitting. It is very reliable. It should be, because every nut and bolt; as well as every mechanical component has been rebuilt. Don’t let the paint job, or lack there of, fool you. Under that fantastic patina is a show car, with over $30K invested keeping everything factory stock and period correct. The only thing that’s been added is the Rocky Mountain brakes (It goes fast and stops just as well!), new modern distributor and alternator. Engine & Transmission: Fresh rebuild using aluminum pistons [60 over]. High compression racing “Z” head. New US made Crankshaft. Heat-treated, with main and rod journals ground and polished to a 6-micro finish. Dynamically balanced. New high lift Camshaft, 280 grind with short front bearing journal. New Camshaft bearings. New 7-1/2 degree distributor timing gear for extra speed. Rebuilt for high flow original Holley NH carburetor. Balanced engine. Rebuilt Transmission, top to bottom. New distributor, points, plugs and wires. New throttle and choke linkage. New ignition and AMP gauge. Rebuilt Hogshead with all new seals and gaskets. Lightened flywheel. Magneto removed. Original early 20’s perfect set of bubble headlights, very bright. Original accessory ‘through the glass’ Clymer spotlight (These in working order and in their original glass are ridiculously impossible to find). Works great. Large period correct horn. Loud. NOS accessory adjustable steering wheel tension stabilizer. Custom cut and fit oak floors. Completely rebuilt rear end, including axle and bearings. Newly installed Rocky Mountain Brakes. New radiator, hoses, clamps and fan belt. New exhaust manifold, pipes and stock muffler. New aluminum intake manifold. Custom leather barrel seats. Battery kill switch. New large Model T oval gas tank. Installed in trunk area. Twin Model T brake lights. Completely rebuilt suspension, steering and new reinforced front sway bars. New ignition coil and Optima battery. Storage compartment under removable barrel seats. Steering wheel and windshield are original, and perfect. Completely rewired. Everything works as it should. Note: This is not your typical barn find that someone hacked up and attempted to make a rusty piece to look like an authentic vintage racer. This was a near rust free stock body and chassis with a running motor and transmission. The paint was left untouched, other than putting on a new $450 deck lid. The frame was reinforced [particularly in the rear] for safety reasons due to the increased speed capability. This is a remarkably correct Model T Racer, and is without question one of the finest factory stock component Model T’s anywhere. i am willing to ship this car within 300 miles of 37174 at no cost. Otherwise buyer is responsible for their own shipping. If you have any questions please call me anytime - Brad 727-439-9525. |

John Hennessey's personal 2015 HPE700 Supercharged Ford Mustang GT hits 195 mph
Wed, Feb 11 2015Dressed in a coat of menacing black paint, the 2015 Hennessey Performance HPE700 Supercharged Ford Mustang GT definitely looks like one mean muscle machine. The 717-horsepower 'Stang proved that it can back up that aggressive appearance recently when company founder John Hennessey took his personal example to see just how fast it would go. The result down the 1.1-mile straight at the Continental Tires Proving Grounds in Uvalde, Texas, was over 195 miles per hour. The Mustang is nothing but a black blur and wall of supercharger wail as it buzzes by the camera at top speed. Despite the strong result, Hennessey doesn't seem done with the 'Stang yet. The car still seems to be pulling when it hits the rev limiter, and there's some straight track left ahead. After getting out, John Hennessey immediately says he thinks 200 mph is possible. The heart of the HPE700 is a 2.9-liter Roots-Type supercharger running at 7.25 psi. That's a pretty massive blower, especially when considering the 2.4-liter unit on the Hellcat V8. The engine also gets upgrades like improved injectors, a new fuel pump, stainless steel exhaust and recalibrated management. The company claims the upgraded Mustang can hit 60 in around 3.6 seconds and do the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 131 mph. Prices for the package start at $59,500, but this one would would ring up for $65,874. Hennessey Performance is limiting production to 500 of them for the 2015 model year. 2015 HPE700 Supercharged Mustang Rockets to 195.2 mph John Hennessey takes his personal Mustang GT on a Texas road trip Uvalde, Texas-Everything is bigger in Texas, especially when it comes to automotive performance. Texas also lays claim to the highest posted speed limit in America at 85 mph. Enter the team from Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) who are located just west of Houston. John Hennessey and his merry band of performance car builders like to go fast, so much so that they have their own 1/4 mile dragstrip next to their workshop. Recently, the Hennessey team wanted to test their 717 horsepower HPE700 Supercharged Mustang development car (John's personal car and occasional daily driver) beyond the 130+ mph speeds that they have seen on the dragstrip. "Thankfully, we had recently received an invitation from the guys at the Continental Tires proving grounds in Uvalde to come over and do some testing on their 8.0 mile high speed oval", said Hennessey.
2015 Ford Mustang leaked in Autoweek
Tue, 03 Dec 2013We would have to imagine that Ford knew it couldn't keep its 2015 Mustang under wraps for too long, and with only days to go before the pony car's official unveiling, the dam seems to be cracking. SVTPerformance.com member Screamin 40th just posted some images taken of the sixth-gen Mustang prominently featured in and on the cover of the December 9 issue of Autoweek magazine.
These images show that recent renderings we saw weren't too far off. The face is just like what we saw in spy shots a few months back, but the rear of the car features some of its more striking cues. Starting with the pronounced haunches and hidden B-pillars, the rear view of the new Mustang might be its best with the ridged, three-bar taillights, a rear diffuser and the lack of a faux gas cap, which allows the galloping pony to be an even more prominent element against the black trim.
The images also reveal a small portion of the updated interior carrying over retro themes like the deep-dish steering wheel and dual-gauge instrument cluster, but it also adds some modern tech with a big infotainment displays and a clean center stack layout. No official word on powertrain or other specs, but while we can't make out most of the magazine's text, our eyes did catch mentions of an independent rear suspension and a 200-pound weight reduction.
George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]
Sun, 20 Jan 2013Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
