1965 Ford Galaxie 500 Police Interceptor –
Specifications & history: This car was manufactured in Los Angeles, California and was one of 49,982 made in that year. The number of “Interceptors” for police use is not reported. Factory spec’s indicated that it was delivered with a four barrel 352 V8, however, this “Police Interceptor” engine was upgraded to a 392 Interceptor with a double pumper Holly carb. Current owner purchased the car from a Movie/TV series production company in Los Angeles who had the car since 2002. It was a lot car and was used in several productions during its history. Based on the mud found under the car during the current owners restoration the car apparently was used extensively in movie action scenes. A plaque in the glove box supports Mike Walsh’s (movie producer) report to current owner that it was used in the movie “Catch me if you can” with Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio. While the current owner created the Mayberry TV show connection of the car, this cannot be confirmed. A depiction of the Mayberry series actors is included in the pictures included. Owner frame-on restoration completed during 2010-2011 included: -Power washed underside to remove extensive road mud from production activities. -Repainting and Mayberry Sheriff Logo added -Extensive cosmetic restoration on trim, wheels and some body panels -Cleaning of interior and engine compartment -New carpet. -Rebuilt transmission in 2011 -New Holly dual carb replaced original carb -Complete engine tune-up and belt replacement -New starter, alternator and voltage regulators -Rebuilt radiator -Dual exhaust system -Drive shaft replaced (original damaged during action filming) -Under dash oil pressure and volt meter -AM/FM/CD/DVD/GPS(touch) Stereo/Video system -12V/110V inverter installed under seat to run computer or other 110V devices -Rear Speakers. -Police bubble light restored to working condition. -Vintage police siren installed. -Amp system with multiple siren and songs selections -New Brakes and drums -Michelin tires. -Air shocks. -Air bags added to rear coil suspension to provide leveling when car is heavily loaded. -Vintage Air Conditioning & heating system.

Watch this Ford F-150 SVT Raptor fly like an eagle [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Feb 2013The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is a very capable truck right out of the box, but "capable" has never translated into "invincible." Just ask the owner of the machine in this video. In it, the driver gets frisky with an aggressive jump with plenty of speed on his hands. The result is enough air to make Vaughn Gittin Jr. blush. As always, it's not the launch that's painful, but the re-entry. Gravity eventually asserts its dominance over the $43,630 pickup in a big way, and when it comes crashing down, it does so with a vengeance.
The impact was hard enough to set off both the alarm and multiple airbags inside the cabin. It's unclear if anyone was injured in the stunt, but we certainly wouldn't be surprised to hear that was the case. You can check out the stunt in the video below, and remember, when in doubt, back out of the throttle. Be warned, there may be some explicit/NSFW language in the clip.
UPDATE: Second video added with an even better look at the jump added below.

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
