This beautiful T-bucket is amazing to drive, very fast and gets tons of attention. Like any street rod that's driven, this one isn't perfect. It is very good though, and it wouldn't take much to bring her up to show condition. Unfortunately, I'm losing the use of my garage, and that's forcing me to put this super-fun car up for sale.

The motor is a pre-Vortec 350 Chevy crate motor with a mild street cam. It's been assembled with a Weiand 8004 intake, Edelbrock 1406, Edelbrock Pro-Flo air filter, Holley mechanical fuel pump, Holley regulator and Flame Thrower HEI. The transmission is a TH400 professionally rebuilt by Eagle Transmission just last year. The rear end is a Ford 8" with 2.79 gears. The shifter and parking brake are Lokar.

In addition to the transmission, the following items were installed/replaced within the last 12 months:

  • Mustang II front brake calipers
  • Speedway front shocks
  • SO-CAL steering damper
  • Champion spark plugs
  • Taylor Spiro-Pro wires
  • Flame-Thrower distributor cap and rotor
  • Anchor motor mounts (USA)
  • Spicer U-joints
  • National real axle seals
  • Energy Suspension rear radius rod bushings
  • Carb rebuilt w/Edelbrock kit
Wheels and tires were also purchased recently and are almost new:

  • Weld Racing Pro Star 15 x 5 / Nexen 165/80R15
  • Weld Racing Pro Star 15 x 12 / Mickey Thompson 29 x 15 R15LT
Ergonomics in this car are unusually good. I'm 6' / 200 lbs, and I can drive it comfortably. That's not typical of these cars, especially with a standard size body. Many T-buckets are set up in such a way that I can't even sit in them, let alone drive. The last photo shows how well I fit in the car. Other nice touches include the fact that the battery and fusebox are located under the seat for easy access. The transmission crossmember is a bolt-on. Unlike many of these cars, you won't have to pull the motor to swap torque converters. Radius rods, drag link, tie rod and windshield support rods are all stainless steel. Fuel mileage is approximately in the low 20s, so the 10-gallon tank provides a good cruising range if you don't have a lead foot. This car also has seat belts to meet state safety requirements.

Bugs: This car is equipped with Intellitronix digital gauges. They all work fine except the speedometer, which sometimes indicates a few MPH when the car is standing still with the motor running. I have also seen the speedometer black out once in a while. I suspect this is due to a loose ground somewhere, but haven't had time to look into it. The gauge manufacturer is still in business if you need support, or the entire cluster could simply be replaced or updated.

This car has a clear Texas title as a 1923 Ford Roadster. State inspection and registration were recently renewed.

CAUTION!
These cars have a high HP to weight ratio, and they are very fast. Even with one like this that corners well and generally accelerates in a straight line, it's easy for an inexperienced driver to get into trouble. Be sure you want a machine like this and that you have all required permissions from other family members before you bid!!

Please ask all questions before bidding.

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.

Recharge Wrap-up: California breaks ground on high-speed rail, Ford launches global mobility experiments

Wed, Jan 7 2015

California has celebrated the groundbreaking of the country's first high-speed rail system. The ceremony took place in Fresno, in the San Joaquin Valley, situated along the line's initial route through California's Central Valley. The train will travel at speeds of up to 220 miles per hour, delivering passengers from San Francisco to LA in less than three hours when finished by 2029. California eventually plans to extend high-speed rail service north to Sacramento and south to San Diego, with a total of 24 stations. The project is expected to cost a total of $68 billion, but could potentially ease road and air traffic, as well as the pollution that comes with it. See the groundbreaking ceremony in the video below, and read more at Engadget or the California High-Speed Rail Authority website. Elon Musk (barely) commented on the Tesla Model 3 during his Reddit AMA. A commenter asked for any new information on the upcoming electric sedan, to which Musk merely replied, "It won't look like other cars." Unfortunately for Tesla fans, the lone comment was the only reference to the electric automaker Musk leads as CEO. The event was full of some really cool space talk, though. Musk also noted he gets an average of six hours of sleep per night, and that showering is the daily habit that impacts his life the most positively. Read the entire AMA at Reddit. Ford outlined its Smart Mobility Plan at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It includes 25 global mobility experiments designed to provide insights into the future of transportation needs around the world. "We see a world where vehicles talk to one another, drivers and vehicles communicate with the city infrastructure to relieve congestion, and people routinely share vehicles or multiple forms of transportation for their daily commute," says Ford President and CEO Mark Fields. The mobility experiments include carsharing programs in Michigan, London, Germany and India, a fast-charging infrastructure experiment, a shuttle service in New York and London and even a cycling focused data program in Palo Alto.
