1960 Ford Falcon Gasser Hot Rod Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Louisville, Kentucky, United States
This is a 1960 Falcon that I bought about 5 years ago. it did come out of a dirt floor garage where it had been sitting 20+ years. When I bought the car it was just a body with what was left of the button tucked interior that was done in the mid 70s. After I got the car home and looked at it a while I decided it needed an axle under the front. The out side has been left alone, just like I pulled it out of the garage. It has Dents, Rust, Bondo cracking and Faded paint. this will never be a show car if that is what your looking for. I had a friends help with this car, it has been completely apart. We started with an Econoline front axle, narrowed it to fit the falcon. New king pins, brakes including drums, wheel cylinders and bearings. The steering links are all new with heim ends. Front springs re-arched with new bushings. The stock steering box has some play, should be replaced, I may have one located. The floors had to have a few patch panels, we installed sub-frame connectors, then cleaned, PORed and undercoated them. The rear end is a 9" from a 70 Torino with 31 spline axles, 4:11 gears and a full spool, also all new brakes. We also made the custom 6 foot long ladder bars. There is a 12 Gallon Fuel cell with a Mallory fuel pump, filter and regulator. The engine is a stock bore short block from a 91 GT mustang with new rings, bearings, oil pump, Comp Cams double roller chain, Ford Motorsport B303 cam and hydraulic roller lifters, Edelbrock Performer heads that take the o-ringed head gaskets, Offenhauser tunnel ram intake with 2 450 Holleys and vintage MR Gasket velocity stacks. Steel fly wheel, blow proof belhousing and a close ratio toploader 4 speed with a Hurst Super Shifter, also custom drive shaft with new spicer u-joints. Everything under this car is new or rebuilt with less than 1000 miles, except the steering box. The wheels are vintage Rocket steel slots, the fronts are 3 1/2" X 15 with 30+ year old bias ply tires, the rear are 8" X 15 with Mickey Thompson Indy Profile G-60X15. If you looked very hard at the engine compartment you see the engine has been moved back 6 1/2" and the custom urethane motor mounts. The headers, I built them, it took a new set of Hooker headers and 2 boxes of assorted bends to get the look I wanted plus a lot of hours. Then there is the tilt front end, also a lot of hours, pull a pin, slide it forward, one person can tilt it. Optima battery, aluminum radiator, car runs 180 degree all day long. Carbs could stand to be tuned on, I have driven this car on several 75 mile round trips, it's a hand full to drive and does NOT like the expressways, remember 4;11 gears. I hate to be long winded, just trying to describe things the way they are. I have way more time and money than I will ever get back out of this, I do not have to sell it, the money would just go towards one of many other projects I have. You are bidding on a car with NO Warranty, I expect a $500.00 deposit within 48 hours of auction end, the rest in green money at time of pick up. If you are having the car picked up, YOU are responsible for ALL arrangements. If you have 10 or less feedback, e-mail me before bidding. If you have ANY questions, please ask before the last day of the auction. Thanks

Ford blimp crashes inside Portland Trail Blazers arena
Fri, Dec 5 2014Portland basketball fans got a free, very safe recreation of the Hindenburg disaster when a Ford airship crashed into the stands during a game between the Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers. Reportedly no one was hurt, but arena staff trying to push the inflatable vehicle through a hole it was too big for, made for some fantastic video and photos. This content is hosted by a third party.

The first gives an idea of just how hard it was to fit the blimp through the exit of the arena, and the second is a time-lapse look from someone right next to the action. All these clips need is Yakety Sax as background music for some true Internet gold. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?
Tue, 26 Aug 2014
Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
