Blue V-8 Convertible Daily Driver Automatic Transmission on 2040-cars
Calera, Oklahoma, United States
|
I have had the car about 15 years and am second owner after first owners family (first titled in Arkansas). Always garaged during my time, selling to start another project. Car has been in Oklahoma, Arkansas or Texas since built (little rust). Two V-8 donor cars (1963 falcon and 1964 Mercury Comet) were used to replace most components to V-8 standards: wheels are 14 inch, front and rear suspension, rear axle, steering box and column are from V-8 cars as well as engine and 3 speed C-4 automatic transmission. Aluminum radiator. Engine was rebuilt several years ago with about 2,000 miles on it. Runs great. Edelbrock 4 bbl carb and intake manifold. Exhaust headers with professionally installed flowmaster dual exhaust chrome tip. Transmission is C-4; I took this to my transmission guy for check out-he said it is in good shape, resealed and changed oil, shifts a little slowly when cold. If I was going to keep the car I would have transmission gone thru. I found no rust in body panels but floor pans had pinhole rust thru-fixed unprofessionally. Paint was professional but after 7 years has some bubbles. Top is good with clear rear window. Complete air conditioning system is included but not installed-never got around to it. Inside unit is from 1964 comet, I had it checked out, sealed up-works perfectly. Balance of system includes mounting brackets, hoses (use for size-you will need new hoses), transition thru firewall is new, dryer and condenser is there (but you will need these new), also two compressors (sold to me as rebuilt units). Windshield has wiper scratch, all other glass is great. Car could use a new front seat cover back on drivers side, rest of interior is great. $500 deposit thru paypal immediatly after auction ends-non refundable, final payment within 7 days by money wire or cash all funds to be clear before car leaves. Mileage is unknown.

Ford looks to space robots to improve car-to-car communications [w/video]
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Ford has partnered with St. Petersburg Polytechnic University for three years to research various kinds of connected vehicle communications. The university tie-up is part of its study of space robots, NASA systems created to enable space-to-Earth communication, and the university's own development of systems that enable communication between the International Space State and Earth.
The objective is for Ford to engineer layers of robust networks and redundancy systems that will allow your car to speak to other cars, to emergency vehicles, to infrastructure like traffic lights and buildings, and to the cloud. Benefits would come in just about every area of transit, from avoiding accidents, to getting medical workers to an accident more quickly, to improving the flow of traffic during rush hour.
Check out the press release below for details on what Ford wants to learn from the JUSTIN Humanoid and NASA Robonaut R2, and a video of technical leader Oleg Gusikhin discussing his interest in the project.
Unrestored 1969 Shelby GT500 one of many classic barn finds going to auction
Wed, 19 Mar 2014We love a good barn find here at Autoblog. We like that there's a palpable excitement and sense of mystery surrounding barn finds. Each case has its own uniqueness to it, and this latest discovery is no different: an unrestored, one-owner 1969 Shelby GT500 with just 8,531 miles on it.
In the case of this particular barn find, many of the typical questions have already been answered. For example, we know who owned it - his name was Larry Brown. He recently passed away, and as he had no wife or children to inherit the estate, the car he purchased at Pennsylvania Ford dealer in May of 1969, will be auctioned off by Ron Gilligan Auctioneers.
The car was fastidiously maintained, having never been driven in the rain. In fact, Brown never even washed it, out of fear of it rusting. According to the auction website, the last time this car saw water was probably when it was detailed ahead of being delivered to Brown. If that doesn't sound like a fanatical sense of maintenance on the part of this GT500's owner, this next part will. The interior has been treated to a similarly painstaking attempt at preservation, with garbage bags covering the seats and two layers of floor mats over the carpets. The result is a car that, aesthetically, is in remarkable shape considering it's spent so long in a barn.
Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial
Wed, 28 May 2014How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.
