1967 Ford Mustang Eleanor with a removable fastback roof. You will be the "talk of the town" and the center of attention everywhere you go!
Here is your chance to be the second registered owner of this car. The car went through a restoration 5 years ago with a complete motor and transmission rebuild. The floorboards were replaced professionally as well as an upgrade to power four piston disk brakes. The underbody is in excellent condition, and the body had zero rust or bubbles before the Eleanor conversion. The fiberglass kit came from Mustangs to Fear which is the highest quality distributor for aftermarket parts. The paint is a fresh base coat of Pewter Silver with Jet Black Stripes. As you can see from the pics and video the clear coat has been cut and buffed and it shows like glass. The interior, carpet, seat-belts, dash pad, door panels and gauge bezels are new or in great shape. The seats are brand new TMI sport seat II, the appear somewhat stock at first but they offer a superior design and fit your body like a glove. The stereo is a Route 66 with amp Pre-outs and MP3/IPOD/IPHONE hookup. The ash tray has been re-purposed as a docking station for your listening devise. The Amp is a JL ADIO 740 watt with two 10" JL AUDIO subwoofers custom fit into the fender cavity so it does not take much space from trunk storage. The engine and transition were rebuilt 5 years ago but the car was never registered so it doesn't have more than a couple hundred miles on it. We pulled the motor out to do the paint job and replaced most of the hoses to be on the safe side. It is a super strong 289 CID V-8 with many upgrades including a 4 Barrel intake/ Holley Carburetor and larger heads. This car starts at the flick of a key and really moves! Most of the chrome and stainless is new or in very good shape. 17" Polished aluminum Eleanor wheels with new Sumitomo low profile tires.

Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age
Thu, 17 Jul 2014In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype
Wed, 08 May 2013Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.
Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.
