If you want to be the star of any car show this is your FORD. This was the dream of a local Atlanta radio personality. It was a no expense spared creation with approximately two hundred thousand dollars spent. The car was built to drive, as well as star in any show. It rides on an Art Morrison tube chassis, and is equipped with four wheel Wilwood disc brakes, and power rack and pinion steering. If you never driven a car with this chassis/suspension setup you cannot believe how well it goes, stops, steers, and handles. It isn't as good as a new car, it's BETTER! All with the classic looks of the Fifties. The metal work, and chassis setup, was all done by Bryan Fuller Hot Rods, of TV fame, in his Atlanta shop. As you can imagine the underside of the car is just as impressive as the rest of the body.  My lift is broken or I'd include photos.

Power is from a Ford Racing 460 crate engine rated at 500 horsepower. Behind this powerhouse is a beefed up Ford C-6 automatic sending horses to a nine inch Ford rear with 3:50 gear ratio. This thing is FAST, but can be driven around town, or across country. It has power windows, doors, trunk, and top. The top is a Mercedes type cloth with a full leather top boot cover when down. The power seat and door panels are full soft grain leather. If you just want to cruise, you'll be comfy with the Vintage Air system and the AM/FM/CD mounted just under the dash and the beautifuly restored original steering wheel on a new tilt column.

The car is a deep metallic Black Cherry, which at night appears black, but is absolutely dazzling in the sun. The body is straight as a laser, as are all body gaps, as you would expect in a car of this calibre. The stainless side trim is from a '56 Fairlane 500. All chrome, glass, and stainless trim is beautiful.  The wheels are polished American Racing Salt Flats carrying Michelin rubber. Nothing but the best of everything went into the build on this car. I own 10 classic cars and none get the attention of this one.  This type of quality is never cheap, but you can own the car for less that half of what was spent building it. It has been driven 2250 miles by me since it's completion and is still being driven on special occasions. It lives inside my house and has never seen rain. If you're a Ford fan you'll love this one.

I'm not interested in any trades. I will not disclose the reserve price. The car is currently registered in Georgia as a 1955 Ford. Georgia does not issue titles on cars of this age, so the car will be sold with current GA registration paperwork and bill of sale. Payment must be by cash in person or Bank Wire transfer to my account.

Ford supports bid for Detroit Rallycross race with Motown-minded Fiesta ST vid

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

As Ford continues its cheerleading effort to help bring the 2014 Summer X Games to its hometown of Detroit, MI, it has released footage of its 2014 Fiesta ST Rallycross car on location at some of the city's well-known landmarks. This video appears to have been shot around the same time as the previous X Games Detroit video was made, but it focuses 100-percent on rally car action.
With Ford Racing driver Andreas Eriksson behind the wheel, this Fiesta ST lays down some serious rubber atop Detroit's Cobo Hall parking structure, at Belle Isle and around the Michigan Central Depot. Detroit isn't alone in the bid for a three-year X Games contract as Chicago, Austin and Charlotte are also hoping to play host. The winning host city is expected to be announced this summer. Scroll down for Ford's two-minute video showing the Fiesta ST Rallycrossing through the Motor City.
