If you are reading this, you must have some appreciation for older Fords. With that being said, you will really like this car. I was told about the car through some race car buddys, the car belonged to a gentleman that had owned the car for 30 years, he purchased the car from a guy out of the Carolina's, it had been a race car through out its lifetime. That's why it's so well preserved, I am getting off track, sorry. 
 The previous owner had raced the car for about twenty years or so, it use to have a 427 in it, the car went high 10's according to his son's. He had parked the car to take a break, and that turned into about 8 years, well, unfortunately the gentleman passed away. So the car just sat in the barn, the story I got was his race buddy pulled the 427 out, their dad had some sort of arrangement with the guy, so he took it. The two sons had enough parts laying around they started to get a motor ready, they had it machined, freshened up the block and stalled out. The car sat for a couple of years, they decide they didnt have time for the car so that's when I bought it.
I got most of the parts , I just had to put it together, plus a few odds and ends.
the motor is a standard bore early 390, new rings, bearings, oil pump, ect. The heads are 62 408 heads that have been decked, all new valves and springs, to accommodate the 500 plus solid roller cam. It also has the original cast iron long headers , they run about a grand by them selves. The transmission is a C6 wich I had completely rebuilt, along with a new 2500 stall. mechanically everything is new or has been rebuilt. I put the engine in the car and got it to fire, sound really good, the car basically need someone to adjust the lifters and set the points, also the brakes look great but need to be adjusted, i'm not too good with drum stuff. It has new tires up front. It also needs the a headlight switch, I think its bad, I couldn't move it.
The body is very impressive for a 50 year old car, it has never been restored, they painted the roof and tops of the rear quarters about 20 years ago. doors, fenders, quarters, and trunk are original to the car, other than a little surface oxidation from sitting the car is really solid. The previous owner put a fuel cell in the trunk, in the process of doing that he had the floor modified, but it looks good. 
The interior is 100% original, the carpet is faded and the das pad has a few cracks, but all the seats look amazing, as well as the headliner.
If you are wanting a unique car that you wont see at the cruise in or drag strip, this is it
please call me with any questions, I am available most of the time, if you get my voice mail please leave a message and I will call you back asap. thanks 352 494 6913

Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.

2015 Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Considered the big kick off of the major festivities surrounding Monterey Car Week, this year's Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival certainly didn't disappoint. For those unable to make it to the California coast, our own Drew Phillips was on hand to snap some of the beautiful vehicles on display for this gorgeous gallery. Held annually at the Monterey Jet Center, the event is always a feast for the eyes by collecting planes, a gang of exotic supercars, and some the top cars crossing the auction block over the coming days, like a Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible. The Ford GT both new and old was a major attendee at this year's party. Among them, the Petersen Museum brought along an original racecar and a GT40 MKIII to promote an upcoming exhibit. The classics were complimented by the latest version that has continued to keep tongues wagging. The GT wasn't the only classic with a modern update there. Singer used the posh event for the North American debut of its stunning restoration of the Porsche 911 Targa. Shelby American was also at the revival for the public unveiling of the 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupe. On the more modern front, Honda was in attendance with the future NSX and one of the McLaren F1 cars that the company's engine powers. For further proof of the ritzy folks that attend this soiree, Pagani and Koenigsegg both had stands to show off their extremely quick wares.

Win a car while supporting a charity this holiday season

Thu, Dec 9 2021

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze.  The leaves have fallen, there is a crispness to the air and there have already been multiple forecasts of snow, which can only mean one thing: We're coming up on Christmas. While you've been busy thinking about what kind of gifts you're going to give your loved ones, we here at Autoblog have been deciding which dream car we'd like to see in our driveway on Christmas morning. A car for Christmas does seem a bit extreme and expensive, but thanks to these Omaze sweepstakes, it doesn't have to break the bank. Here are the current sweepstakes we'd like to win this holiday season. Win a DeLorean DMC-12 - Enter at Omaze James Riswick, West Coast Editor: Let me be clear, the DeLorean is a pretty terrible car. Its speedometer doesn't even go up to the fabled 88 mph. Seriously, look at the pictures: tops out at 85. Also, who services a DeLorean? And how much would it cost to maintain one? $AlloftheMoney or just $MostoftheMoney? So owning it could be a total headache, but at least by winning one through Omaze, you'd be relieved of the financial burden of buying one in the first place. You'd also get the chance to own one of the most iconic cars of all time, one that transcends car enthusiasm and is instantly recognizable by everyone as the "Back to the Future" car. Plus, "everyone" doesn't know that the DeLorean was actually a pretty terrible car. So, I already own James Bond's car from 1995, why not Doc Brown's from 1985? Win a 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 - Enter at Omaze Eddie Sabatini, Production Manager: Why am I choosing a +$200K Bentley SUV? Because even if I could afford one I'd never be able to wrap my head around spending money on one. So why not try to win one by donating what I can afford to a good cause? I first saw the Bentley Bentayga up close and personal at the Frankfurt Motor Show (I forget which year but I'll never forget this SUV). And although it looks like the Bentayga Omaze is offering up doesn't have the opulent tailgate setup I fell in love with when I saw it in Frankfurt, I'd still enter to win. Win a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda - Enter at Omaze Byron Hurd, Editor: Few automotive marketing efforts stick out in my head more than the Mercedes-Benz holiday spots and magazine placements.
