Nice chance to get one of Fords classic muscle cars the Fairlane 428 SCJ Cobra Jet in the formal roof model. Very had to come by as there were few formal roof cars made, and even fewer with the 428 SCJ engine and options all sitting on a set of hard to find FATBOY 14's on Cragar rims. Lowest price genuine "R" Code 428 SCJ on EBAY
Car had been sitting for several years , so we took the engine apart to do a rebuild. Crankshaft turned smoothly and is needing only minimal work at the machinist. All other components appear to be there except the radiator and air cleaner. (Can include a correct Fairlane air cleaner/flapper unit for additional $500). C6 Cobrajet transmission with Cast Iron tailshaft and R Servo. Only 34k ORIGINAL miles on this engine so its got quite a long life left. VERY low miles for a car of this age and stature.
Car needs a restore, but good candidate for high $$$ return once completed. The reserve is very affordable with a low BUY IT NOW. The engine alone is worth 2/3 of the BUY IT NOW. We did replace one of the floorpans and added 2 rear patch panels. The original frame rails are overall good with only 2 small spots by the rear leaf spring shackles needing attention....but the rest of the underside is still in good shape. Body needs some attention. Older paint job. Car has the 428 reinforced big block shock towers and mounts. Has the original poverty dish hubcaps. Has original jack and jackstand. All glass in tact.
Engine is original 428 Cobra Jet matching numbers engine and will come back cleaned, with all new gaskets ready to run.. We will place it back in the car for transport before you pickup. All engine numbers match up including the auxiliary pieces. (Waterpump, manifolds, fan etc...) Car has the original 9 inch rear axle with nodular rear end...Even has the original Blue Owner card issued to original owner .very desirable features...
Car is sold as-is, how-is with right to inspect. We welcome inspections. Serious bidders only please. NO dealers please. Collectors only. We reserve the right to cancel bids from dealers. We can gladly help with shipping to any of the lower 48, and can also get the best possible price for an overseas buyer also. This is a hard to find collectible SCJ 428 and is easily worth twice the price once restored. We do have this car for sale locally so we reserve the right to remove the car at any time. If you have questions about the car feel free to send us your email or simply call. (We do have 2 other 428 CJ cars from this owners collection that will be auctioned up soon. Please check back)

Obama to herald auto industry turnaround from idled Ford plant
Tue, Jan 6 2015President Barack Obama will tout the recent successes of the American auto industry in a speech on Wednesday. This would be a fine and dandy plan aside from two small hitches. First, the president is visiting Ford's Wayne, MI factory, which is rather strange considering the government bailed out the company's local rivals, Chrysler and General Motors. Even more worrying, considering the topic of the speech, is that the Wayne facility has been idled due to a lack of demand. According to The Detroit News, the White House said the speech will focus on "the workers in the resurgent American automotive and manufacturing sector now that the auto rescue has been completed and the decision to save the auto industry and the over one million jobs that went with it." Wayne Assembly employs some 5,100 Michiganders when its lines are up and running, but as gas prices have plunged below $2 per gallon in some areas over the past month, its fuel-efficient products – the Focus and C-Max – have seen their sales plummet, as well. In December, the Focus' year-over-year sales were down 4.4 percent, while the C-Max dipped 3.3 percent, Ford told The News. Lagging sales for the two compacts aren't a new thing, though. Focus sales in all of 2014 were down 6.4 percent, while the C-Max struggled with a 21.6-percent drop last year. According to The News, Ford made the decision to idle the factory before being approached by the White House. Considering that, we wonder what the team at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was thinking when it selected the Ford facility, and what impact the location will have on the president's message.

Texan finds creative way to clear highway fast lane
Tue, Jun 14 2016Few things are as infuriating as someone driving slow in the fast lane. A Jeep driver from Texas found himself in just such a predicament near Fort Worth, and came up with a creative way to urge the offending lane-blocker to get a move on. Machine, a YouTuber and off-road enthusiast from the Lone Star State, posted some dashcam footage to his account back in March which showed him stuck behind a slow driver. He was attempting to pass a slow-moving bobtail Peterbilt tractor when he got hung up by a white Ford Econoline squatting in the passing lane. On his YouTube page, Machine stated that the van, which apparently belonged to a plumbing company, was traveling along between 60 and 70 miles per hour along a stretch of highway with a stated speed limit of 70 mph. Confronted with the slow-moving van blocking the left lane, and traffic in the right lane, Machine called the number on the back of the Econoline and politely asked him to get out of the way. In the Econoline, the passenger picked up and was momentarily confused as Machine asked him to ask his driver to move out of the lane and let traffic pass. The van sped up, passed a tractor-trailer, and got out of the way, much to the relief of the traffic behind him. According to CBS news, 38 states have laws on the books to punish slow drivers squatting in the passing lane. In five of those states, the fine is upwards of $1000, and 22 states classify it as a misdemeanor.

2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility shows up for duty in Chicago
Fri, Feb 13 2015The latest upgrade for the 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility is all set to patrol the Windy City's streets with its debut at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show. On the outside, the revised Ford police vehicle looks basically the same as the recently refreshed Explorer with a new grille and redesigned headlights. Inside, there's a restyled steering wheel and center console. Unlike the civilian model, though, the PI Utility gets heavy-duty brakes, a more robust cooling system, reinforced subframe mounts and larger diameter suspension springs for more strength. Under the hood, police forces get to choose between either a 3.7-liter V6 with 304 horsepower and 279 pound-feet of torque or a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of twist. Regardless of powertrain, these 'utes feature a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The transmission includes the awesome-sounding Pursuit Mode feature that switches over to more aggressive shifts when it detects harder driving to properly stop crime. Related Video:
