Purchased from an estate this 1919 Paco bodied model T Racer is offered for sale. The Paco body was made in Galesberg Ill in 1919. The Paco Speedster all steel bodies were made from 1916 to 1920. Made to be mounted on a Model T frame they were patterned to resemble the Indy racers of the day. This model is equipped with the mechanics seat which was the way Indy cars were built in that era, and were very popular on the dirt tracks until the Forties. This example is powered by the very rare Frontinac conversion of the Ford Model T engine. The Frontinac Engine company of Indianoplis was owned by the Chevrolet Bros and was the leading supplier of engines and conversion for the Indy 500 and other racers in the 1920s. This is a model R head and conversion the very same that won the 1923 Indy 500 and placed 6 through 10 in 1922. This engine conversion included steel balanced crank, Camel water pump, Fully pressurized lube system, distributor,downdraft model OC2 Stromberg carb, Model R overhead valve head and manifolds plus numerous other Frontinac upgrades. These Model R conversions are capable of 4200 rpm and can cruise all day at that level. This one runs flawlessly and is coupled to a modern C4 Ford automatic with a Borg-Warner overdrive making top speed of over 90 MPH. Rear axle is narrrowed model T, brakes are Girling 4 wheel hydraulic. 12 volt system with electric starter Seat cushion is removable with leather patterned closely to the orginal Paco interior. This racer was found in a Southern California salvage yard and has been restored to resemble its appearance as a dirt track racer in the thirties. Street legal with lights and stoplight. Perfect for cruises or even the " Great Race". I just brought the car back from a weekend at the vintage races at Road America and it will supply days of fun for the buyer at the many vintage car races through-out the US. Car is located in Austin Mn and available for inspection anytime during the auction. If unable to inspect the winning bidder, after a $1000. paypal deposit within 24 hours, will have ten days to inspect. If for any reason buyer chooses not to complete purchase, he may "walk-away" and one-half of deposit will be refunded. Any questions please E-Mail or call John @ 507 279 0752.

2015 Ford Mustang: Obsessively covered [w/videos + poll]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013Here at Autoblog, we've officially stamped December 5, 2013, as Ford Mustang Day. Sure, the sixth-generation Pony Car started leaking out onto the web days ago, but all of the official, non-embargoed hotness has come out today. And man, there's been a lot.
In terms of new car debuts, this is a really big one - not unlike all of the Corvette madness that kicked off the 2013 automotive season. So to make sure you haven't missed anything, here's a wrap-up of everything you need to know about the 2015 Ford Mustang.
Deep Dive: 2015 Ford Mustang
Hennessey unleashes 2015 HPE700 supercharged Ford Mustang
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Thanks to the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat there is a new magic number in the muscle car world - 707. To raise eyebrows these days in the power war, a vehicle needs to match or preferably exceed that palindromic figure. The tuners over at Hennessey took a look at it for their 2015 HPE700 Mustang and decided to go one better. Well, ten actually, because they bestowed their latest creation with 717 horsepower and 632 pound-feet of torque.
The HPE 700 Mustang takes the standard Mustang GT with its 5.0-liter V8 and turns up the power a few hundred notches with a Roots-type supercharger running at 7.25 psi. Hennessey claims that this boosted 'Stang can rocket to 60 miles per hour in about 3.6 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 131 mph. For those keeping score at home, those figures are very similar to Challenger Hellcat.
To cope with all of the added boost, the engine gets a high-flow throttle body, upgraded injectors, new fuel pump, stainless steel exhaust and Hennessey's calibration for the engine management. Pricing for the package is $59,500, including the base 2015 Mustang GT, but the company is limiting production to 500 units for the 2015 model year. Founder John Hennessey told Autoblog that he has already received about a dozen orders for them.
Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
