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)

Lincoln Nautilus, Ford Edge latest prediction: Production ends in July 2024
Thu, Aug 20 2020In June, Auto Forecast Solutions put out a report compiled by its vice president of global forecasting, Sam Fiorani. One item in the report covered how Fiorani had heard from "multiple sources" that Ford shut down the program to replace the Edge crossover in 2023. Assuming this came to pass, with the Lincoln Nautilus based on the Edge, the inference is that the Nautilus would retire at or around the same time. Ford's response to media queries about the report was either "No comment" or PR-speak deflection. Lincoln's statement on the matter to Motor1, a crafty non-answer, was, "The Nautilus plays and will continue to play an important role in Lincoln’s growing SUV portfolio which includes the Corsair, Aviator and Navigator. Lincoln is investing in growth segments like SUVs and we have no plans to exit the segment." It's possible Lincoln has no plans to leave the segment, but the Nautilus might, according to a fresh, unsourced report in Ford Authority. The site claims the Nautilus will end production at the Oakville Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada, in July 2024. Again, we can't know how much, if any of this, is true. But we're zeroing in on a timeline for the potential end of the Edge and Nautilus in the U.S. Those are the only two products Oakville currently builds, and when the Canadian union Unifor asked Ford about the reports in June, Ford couldn't offer union reps anything concrete or reassuring. The Detroit News quoted Unifor chief Jerry Dias as saying of the automaker, "There is no question, they are going through a major evaluation of their portfolio, based on a whole host of things."  We could be seeing one of the earlier theories for Edge's potential demise coming true. Some analysts suspect Ford could be pruning its crossover lineup because it has too many similarly-sized offerings at the moment, the Edge hasn't met its sales targets in Europe, and more compact crossovers are on the way that could bring better street cred if they're associated with the Bronco or Bronco Sport. Unifor and Ford are now in negotiations over a new contract, so it's possible we'll get more clarity in the next month or so about Ford's plans and what will come of Oakville and its roughly 4,000 workers. If Ford walks away from the assembly plant, it will only have two engine plants left in Canada, and no vehicle assembly north of the border for the first time in about a century.
Ford EcoSport Storm concept swallows a Raptor in Sao Paulo
Sun, 02 Nov 2014Ford rolled into the Sao Paulo Motor Show with some pretty cool crossovers in tow, the awesomest of all being the EcoSport Storm concept shown above, which draws its inspiration directly from the F-150 SVT Raptor. It packs a lower grille clearly derived from the now-famous muscle truck, as well as a Blue Storm paint job, black and silver trim, special graphics, lower body cladding and 215/75 R15 off-road tires. Don't go holding your breath for a supercharged V8, though; made locally in Brazil, India and Thailand, the tiny EcoSport is typically powered by a three- or four-cylinder engine.
The Storm isn't the only specially prepared Ecosport on show, however, joined as it is by another pair called Beauty and the Beast. Beauty is decked out in matte copper with a black roof, LED fog lamps, 18-inch wheels with low-profile tires and an interior complete with four individual bucket seats, leather upholstery and a full multimedia suite. The Beast, meanwhile, takes a sportier approach with a white pearl finish, blue and orange trim and three-bar grille. It also wears 18-inch wheels and LED fog lamps, but its interior swaps out its rear seats for a bike rack.
Joining the EcoSport show cars was an Edge crossover equipped with all the latest technologies and done up in bright red with three-bar grille, bulging hood, and an interior featuring 10-inch touchscreens and leather upholstery. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.
