Jim Sartori’s 10-Second, Aluminum FE Powered 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe

| пятница, 4 сентября 2009 г.


If the guys bootleggin’ moonshine back in the day got their mitts on Jim Sartori’s 1940 Ford, they never would have been caught. Thanks to power from an all-aluminum, 485ci Ford FE motor that made more than 600 horsepower on the dyno, the G-Men would have been a distant memory. This car is flat out amazing in every respect.

It’s an all-steel, 55,000-original-mile piece that came from Oklahoma, and the literally flawless black paint covers body modifications that are so slickly completed that you’d never know they were there if we didn’t tell you. Plus it runs low-10-second ETs at the strip, and Jim drives, and we mean drives, this car hard at the strip, and often.

Click here to see the photos and we’ll take you through the car from tip to stern and give you all the inside info that you’re dying to know. You can also watch the video below, and don’t forget that you can click the button next to the time counter to watch in full-screen mode.

Former Car Craft Cover Car Nova on eBay

| понедельник, 31 августа 2009 г.


It’s always neat to see cars formerly featured in the print mags hit the auction block on eBay. This particular Nova from a recent Car Craft cover shoot is one tough customer. It’s equipped with a 420ci small block Chevy and has been 8.90s on the spray.

Although the seller said that the car can be street driven if the new owner wants to, the 14.5:1 compression ratio may limit that to short, race-gas-swilling trips. The rest of the tech list on the car reads like a build sheet on a drag car. This puppy is hard core.

The asking price of $39,995 is not pocket change, but for the amount of work that has been placed into all aspects of this car, from the body, to the chassis, to the motor, it’s not out of whack either. If we had a the scratch this thing would be on a truck headed to us already.

This is roughly the third time around for this car on the Bay. Let’s follow along and see if anyone bites this time.
