Going all the way to impress potential buyers at the 1925 First Auto Expo of Rio de Janeiro

0 comments Posted by welot at 5:55 PM

For 16 days, Ford assembled cars on a makeshift assembly line for the public to watch

The event was attended by Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, Gray, Packard, Hudson, Itala, Lancia and Voisin.

these photos came to light when the grandson of an engineer associated with making the expo happen, loaned the bool to a Rio newspaper. It's likely that no one alive recalls the event, or that it was thrown to promote development of roads in Brazil, because there weren't any. In view of the push that more car owners and car makers would make with the demand for roads, if I read the articles right, this was a brilliant idea that would force roads to get made from the trails that barely were drivable .

For a full gallery and posts about this extraordinary display of new cars and extreme measures to impress the potential new buyers in Rio, be sure to have Google toolbar ready to translate or use

Thanks to Nik and Rafael for spreading the word about this amazing historical moment, which I bet has never been duplicated or copied

Is it any wonder I recommend Nik's blog so highly? Couldn't give it higher praise and applause!

The Ford Mustang 5.0-liter 2011 photos

0 comments Posted by welot at 12:58 PM

Like a child who has discovered a new toy, this information will open up a whole new world of awe and wonder for you.

This is the first photo of the 5.0-liter all-aluminum beatin' concern of the 2011 Ford Mustang GT that'll pump at a rockin' 412 HP and 390 lb-ft of torque. Merry Christmas. More below.

We're told the 5.0-liter motor will be mated to a 6R80 six-velocity vehicle or MT82 physical transmission. We're pregnant we'll have more niceties up as shortly as the prohibit actually breaks at the creation of this imminent week. For the jiffy - well - let's just say many Bothans at MustangHeaven and BurlappCars died to take you these two photos.

Ford Mustang 2011 new performance

0 comments Posted by welot at 4:02 AM

New 3.7-liter V-6 engine
With Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) operating its four valves per cylinder to deliver its power and economy, the new Mustang V-6 powerplant sends significantly more horsepower and torque (305 hp and 280 ft.-lb.) to the rear wheels than its predecessor – despite its smaller displacement. The behind-the-wheel feel is unlike any Mustang ever produced.

The 2011 Ford Mustang puts 305 high-performance horses in the hands of V-6 coupe buyers with a new all-aluminum dual-overhead cam (DOHC) engine that delivers a projected 30 mpg on the highway with a six-speed automatic transmission, all-aluminium it's means light weight for the car performance.

Ti-VCT is complemented by special-tuned composite upper and lower intake manifolds for efficient air delivery and lighter weight. Ignition power is delivered by a high-energy coil-on-plug design, while piston-cooling jets and a lightweight die-cast aluminum cylinder block improve the durability and efficiency of the 3.7-liter V-6 design.

The Mustang buyers choosing the new V-6 will also get a standard limited-slip differential (LSD) that provides better handling and more grip in bad weather conditions by directing engine torque to the rear wheel with the most traction. When the time comes to slow things down, the 2011 Mustang is also equipped with larger four-wheel ABS disc brakes, with 11.5 inch front and 11.8 inch rear rotors.

Orange Ford F100 from sweden built for drag

0 comments Posted by welot at 11:15 PM

An Orange ford F100 owned by Thomas Cronemark a pro truck Driver from Sweden, he is in charge of the Paddock on any Wednesday evening during the race season. He is a local member too of drag racers club called SRIF.

His interest in smaller trucks started when an employee at his dad's trucking company pulled in with a '72 El Camino and parked right in front of a then 17-year-old Thomas. Through another member he heard about a 1950s Ford pickup that had been parked in a garage for a few years. the 50's ford F100 that had been imported from US in 1996 and had a new interior and beautifull paint job by Harley Davidson in Sweden.

but he's not Satisfied with the power and handling, Thomas decided to fix a few cracks on the chassis,replaced all four fenders, made the headers, 2-inch exhaust, and install a Heidts Mustang II frontend with the help of his friend Joakim Ljungberg, the owner of Vallkra Motorsport

With Erland Cox the Sweden's leading expert, of course one of his buddies in SRIF club, he change the engine block and built more .potent powerplant based on ford 427 after the the valve gave up and busted a head.

And for the bodywork He just settled for a new grille, shiny bumpers, and painted mirrors, plus aftermarket brake lights and for the weels he decided to put a set of 17 - inch Bullitt Mustang
and check out the result
