This is a rare 1971 matching numbers Torino Cobra. VIN# 1A38C227363. The engine was rebuilt in 2001 and not been plated since 2003 where it has been in storage until now.
It`s board 30 over and stroked to a powerful 460, with 460 crank, triple springs, hydraulic lifters, with custom grind special order camshaft. awesome at idle!!
850 Holley double pumper, roller rockers, brass guided valves, msd ignition , 3500 stall converter, 9inch ford rear end with 4:11 gears.. I have the original factory gears(3:90 I believe), hi volume oil pump, long tube headers/each pipe equal length to the collectors, ...flow masters, extra rear windshield with defrost wires, extra drive shaft , extra grill parts and corner body moldings, Detroit locker new in a box, new interior carpet, new weather stripping and rubber moldings, windshield clips and other fasteners, two sets of cobra stickers for different paint colors, shop manuals, original ford paint chip color chart, original sales brochures, original air foiled new antenna, wiring diagrams, etc...
Currently has a blown head gasket. Should have used steel, my bad.
Worst part of the car is top half of the firewall. The previous owner whom I have known for 28 years, had it parked on his driveway under a tree in Springfield Virginia. Leaves accumulated between the windshield and sat on the top part of the firewall which caused it to rot. The bottom vertical part of the firewall is solid.

Other than that, the floors have never been done..rest of the car is solid. In restored shape, this car is worth good money! Or just fix the head gasket and roar with it for now!
The 71` 429cj w/shaker/louvers is rare!
paid $2200us for rear window louvers.. took three years to appear on eBay.
The shaker hood scoop shown was modified to fit the offenhouser high-rise manifold..and the 850 Holley dbl pumper... I have a complete shaker assembly in a box purchased for $2300us on eBay.
NOTE:The louvers and shaker, and other items, may be excluded from the deal if need be to accommodate an offer.... otherwise they are considered included with the offer.
The paint and the interior is not original.
By DSO sticker it had vermillion (red) interior, and light pewter metallic on the body from factory....the interior is currently black, it has buckets,,,, you take it from there....

You can now Uber a Ford F-150 for tailgating at NFL games

Wed, Sep 7 2016

The Ford F-Series has been named as the official truck of the NFL, whatever that means. To kick things off, the automaker is giving fans in New York the ability to order a "Built Ford Tough Tailgate Truck" on demand through Uber. The NFL-backed tailgate F-Series trucks will bring fans tailgate food, tickets, and merchandise. The ability to get a tailgate truck through Uber is currently limited to New York, but Ford will also offer a tailgate tour in various cities where NFL fans can win tailgate parties, tickets to games, and access to their own Ford tailgate truck. The sponsorship is for three years and includes America's best-selling truck, the Ford F-150, along with the automaker's Super Duty trucks. Ford is also giving NFL fans the ability to enter the "Built Ford Tough Toughest Ticket" sweepstakes for a chance to win Super Bowl LI tickets, along with a new 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty decked out to showcase the winner's favorite football team. The NFL has partnered with various automakers in the past, with the most recent being a four-year deal with Hyundai in 2015. The Korean automaker is currently the official car, SUV, and luxury vehicle of the NFL, which conveniently leaves a spot for Ford's F-Series trucks to slot into. Hyundai took the sponsorship from General Motors, which had been a sponsor since 2001. Ford's new sponsorship comes at the perfect time as the new season official starts tomorrow with the Carolina Panthers taking on the Denver Broncos.

Translogic 180: Zombie 222 Electric '68 Mustang

Wed, Jul 15 2015

Translogic heads to Austin, TX for a chance to drive the all-electric Zombie 222, a 1968 Ford Mustang converted by Mitch Medford and his team at Blood Shed Motors. "I wanted to start a company that would do nothing but specialize in converting vintage iconic cars into supercars," said Medford. The Zombie 222 has classic looks, but modern performance with over 800 horsepower and 1,800 ft-lbs of torque, making it the fastest electric car we've ever driven on Translogic. Those mind-blowing specs helped the Zombie 222 conquer the Texas Mile, setting the electric speed record at 174.2 miles per hour. "The Zombie 222 has been breaking electric records, said Medford. "Now it's time to break records—gas or electric." Next up for Medford and his Zombie 222 is a Kickstarter-funded attempt at 200 miles per hour. But first, we take a turn behind the wheel.
