We Love Ford's, Past, Present And Future

We Love Ford's, Past, Present And Future





4.6 Liter/425hp V8 with an automatic, power steering, brakes and air. Prototype of the Foose "Stallion." Built on the TV show "Overhaulin'." This car is the creation of the imagination of Chip Foose and the result is one incredible vehicle! The build aired on the July 2005 episode of "Overhaulin."This is a "one-of-a-kind" custom Mustang and serves as the prototype to the Ford Stallion. The creation began with a sketch of the car, designed by Foose himself, and a copy of the signed original sketch included with the car. A lengthy safety check process was performed by one of the build team members and every aspect of the vehicle was inspected. The vehicle passed the State of California emissions tests E.O. D-195-20. This car is spectacular and drives like a dream. All documentation will be provided. 1. Paxton Novi 1200 POLISHED Supercharger 9 PSI but dropped to around 7 with the AfterCooler. Warranty paperwork is included. 2. Vortech liquid to air AfterCooler (POLISHED). 3. Engine strut brace (ONE OFF DESIGN) painted to match the FOOSE graphics to brace has the chicane insignia in the middle. 4. FOOSE (One off Design) painted headlights, shipped without lenses from Ford and painted to match the FOOSE graphics. 5. FOOSE painted graphics with FOOSE logo at the end of the stripes. 7. Custom 3dCARBON wing-- this wing was designed for this car and is in production now. 8. Magnaflow Cat-Back exhaust stainless steel (Magnapacks are quality sounding, not loud). 9. Magnaflow X pipe (Stainless Steel). 10. Eibach prototype shocks/struts (Pro-damper's)-- Eibach identification plaque affixed. 11. Eibach Anti-roll kit. 12. Baer Rotor's with Baer Pads.





Tesla Model Y priced well below Mach E in most configurations. Tesla Model Y priced well below Mach E in most configurations. It's worth mentioning that Ford is already down to under 84,000 applicable vehicle sales left before they start phasing out. Likely by 2021 when dealers start really offering this, that will be much lower. Hm, yeah I was wondering about that. Where did you find that info? Did the c-max and fusion energi qualify for the credits? I know they can't have sold many focus electrics. You mean 84,000 plus the rest of a quarter and an entire year (when including the half and quarter credits). Likely by 2021 when dealers start really offering this, that will be much lower. Doubtful. They no longer make/sell the C-Max Energi or the Focus Electric, so the Fusion Energi is the only plug-in model they still have (aside from the Lincoln Aviator PHEV, which IIRC isn't available until next year anyways).





Time capsules have always fascinated the masses. Whether it鈥檚 a need for exploration or just simple romanticism, for many, a longing mysticism accompanies things long forgotten. Imagine how cool it would be to have the opportunity to enjoy a personal time capsule that, virtually untouched, has passed through generations. For all intents and purposes, this Ford was a completely untouched survivor that hadn鈥檛 seen much use at all. With that in mind, our goal was to leave the car as close to original as possible. Job one was, as always, to get the car running. That meant a full rebuild of the original, 351 cubic inch Cleveland V8. Disassembly was an especially delicate process, as we had to preserve as many original bolt-ons as possible. Once everything was apart and labeled, the block and heads were shipped to a local machine shop for thorough inspection and careful resurfacing. When those components came back, RKM Performance Center technician Anthony Jenkins was poised to rebuild and install.





As expected, the freshened mill was fitted with all new gaskets and new fluids. We carefully rebuilt the car鈥檚 original carburetor while its original radiator was shipped out for repair. At the front of the block, new hoses and fresh belts joined a new water pump and a new thermostat. At the top of the block, a vintage distributor benefitted from a new cap and new rotor while fresh wires traced new plugs. For the sake of drivability and comfort, we replaced the car鈥檚 heater core and sourced a tough Optima gel cell battery. And a Ford pony car just wouldn鈥檛 be a Ford pony car without lots of Ford Blue engine paint. Because safety is key, undercar restoration began with a brand new fuel system that included a new tank, a new sending unit and fresh lines. A complete brake rebuild started with a new booster and new master cylinder, progressed to new calipers and new rotors, and wrapped up with new hoses, new wheel cylinders and machined drums.
