Tired of showing up at the cruise night and someone having the same type of car as yours? THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN! This is a one of a kind, custom '23 Ford T-Bucket powered by a Boeing 502 Turbojet engine. This isn't some hack job that someone built in their backyard, this is a well engineered, thought out, aircraft quality built vehicle. As you can see, everything is well laid out and engineered with much thought to the end vehicle. Everything is either polished or chrome including a chrome rear end, front axle, springs, suspension links, tie rods, etc.
The power plant in this vehicle is a Boeing 502 Turbojet engine. This engine was designed by the Boeing company in Washington state to be used in many different applications. They have been used in everything from powering fire trucks, Kenworth road tractors/semis, large Navy minesweeper generator systems, and even powering the prop on small aircraft. It has tremendous amounts of torque, so much as a transmission is not even needed. All that is needed is forward and reverse and nothing else. Everything for the engine is well laid out, including all stainless steel braided lines for the fuel system, aircraft quality wiring, relays, solenoids, and fuse blocks. One of the attention-grabbing qualities of this T-bucket is the exhaust system, which diverts the heat to both sides of the vehicle. To really impress everyone at cruise night, it also has a fire system designed to shoot fire out of both sides of the exhaust! It has a deep, black finish in perfect condition. A black leather interior sets it off. Huge amount of gauges covering all aspects of the engine and vehicle performance. Vehicle has rear brakes operated by foot pedal and also a power turbine brake operated by a T-handle in the center of the console. Engine is operated by hand throttle in the console, just like an aircraft. Easy to start and drive. It also has a funny car style Deist parachute to set off the rear end of the car. Also included are a custom car cover, a custom charger for the battery system, complete service and parts manual, and a copy of the original Navy film showing service, maintenance, and operating instructions for the engine. This is the kind of vehicle you would expect to see at a museum, Jay Leno's garage, a Barrett Jackson or Meccum Auto auction. Note: The vehicle is not titled for street use, we just drove at car shows, cruise nights, etc. Ebay requires that something is entered on title status. There is not a title for this vehicle at the present time. There are many companies out there that will be able to help with acquiring for a custom built vehicle such as this, we never pursued it ourselves. You may be able to easily acquire a title in your state on your own, as you know, each state is different. If you have any questions about this, please contact us before bidding.

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.

You can now order Domino's pizza from your Sync-equipped Ford
Tue, 07 Jan 2014
The news keeps pouring in from the Consumer Electronics Show now underway in Las Vegas, and the latest comes from Ford which has announced two new apps for its Sync AppLink system.
First up is a cooperative app launched by Ford together with Domino's Pizza that lets drivers of the former order pizza from the latter right from their car. The service allows those with Ford Sync AppLink in their car or truck and are registered with a Domino's Pizza Profile to place an order for their favorite pie using Dearborn's voice-recognition software for either pickup or delivery. Save your information in your Pizza Profile and it'll be sent to your house without even the push of a button, which strikes us as awesome a use of technology as we've ever seen.
Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
