In this video from Evan Smith you are going to get to see a great historic ride from the early days of Pro Stock. We’re talking about a bad ass little Maverick that is arguably one of the coolest Fords ever. Check it out.

Video Description:

Up close with the actual “Dyno” Don Nicholson Ford Maverick raced in Pro Stock during the 1970 and 1971 seasons. This car has a Ford “Cammer” 427 engine with so many trick parts. Please be sure to support us by subscribing to the channel.

Episode 289 of Mike Finnegan’s Garage is a banger! I’m introducing a new project, exploring a spooky warehouse full of cool equipment while trying not to get killed, and driving cross country in a 26 year old truck. This was all made possible by the good people at Bling Sauce and its Platinum line of automotive detailing products. Bling Sauce is so excited about this project that the first 500 viewers who click here and use the promo code “FREEMIKE” will receive a sample pack of Leather Sauce, Secret Sauce and Trim Sauce: https://blingsauce.com/collections/au…

The 1965 Ford full size line was all new with a “torque box” frame and the first rear coil springs on a Ford. The wagons even included a trick aerodynamic gimmick to keep the tail gate glass clean. But why is there a turbocharger INSIDE this ’65 Country Sedan? Watch and be “blown away”.

This car is built from all new parts, at a much higher level of dimensional accuracy than anything that Ford built. And it has serious performance upgrades, like Wilwood Brakes, a supercharged Coyote crate engine, bigger wheels and tires, modern transmission, and so much more. This thing is built for fun and Jay puts it through its paces enough to know that this thing is a riot. And with over 700 horsepower on tap you can certainly have a lot of fun in this bad boy.

Let us know what you think as Jay gives us the full rundown.

This thing is ONE of a KIND and it’s been sitting outside for many decades! Somebody, somewhere poured their heart and soul into making this Austin Healey 3000 roadster into a WILD hot rod. It’s a full custom hot rod build with Chrysler torsion bar suspension, an Oldsmobile 215ci Aluminum V8, home made headers, CUSTOM transmission, and all sorts of custom body work. The windshield is the back glass from a Tri Five Chevy with a custom round tube frame. It has 14 inch steel wheels…3 of them. What a crusty old car…but what a story it must have. Join me in studying its wild details and let’s hope we can find some information and history on this thing!

This is a really neat truck, and when you can get the rundown from the builder himself it really does make it special. Getting the inside info on how it went together, what parts were used, and the though process behind them, is inspiring and makes me smile.

If you aren’t familiar with the Stanceworks 1931 Ford Model A, you should be. This little bastard is epic and yet there is something about it that makes you wonder if it is going to put the biggest grin on your face or kill you, because either one is possible with this thing. If you missed it, this thing has had some seriously needed repairs and epic fabrication. You’ll get to taste it all in this video, so watch and let us know what you think.

The Model A LIVES! I’m stoked on this one, guys. Sorry for the delay.

In excited fashion I told Manny what he already knew that this thing had a 4bbl on it and he kind of laughed as the guy had been a customer getting his service done at the Shell station since the van was basically new. He yelled back in, “I know and the thing kind of screws for what it is…”.

He proved this theory after we did the tune up job and took the van for a test drive. The four speed automatic had nice short gearing to get the thing moving and from a stand still it would actually lay pretty decent posi-traction rubber! It was not a long ride but it was pretty fun.

Later on in life, I would spend loads of miles ripping all over the place in an all wheel drive, fuel injected version of the same van. One of the last years they built the things, these were weirdly fun to drive. They always had power and they had a really quick steering ratio. Combining that with the fact that you basically sat on the front tires aided in the entertainment value.

Weird how seeing things like this innocuous video can bring up memories like that!

I’ve got plans for another one of my cars to carry on the sleeper legacy this year, but when I saw this 1971 Nova it made me smile. I mean look at this thing! Slapper bars, steelies, flat hood and more. Wow. Check out the full feature video below and let us know what you think of this beast.

Video Description:

I’ve wanted to build something like this car for a long time but I just never had the chance. I recently found out that someone I know wanted to put this up for sale. I had to immediately go check it out!

Here’s all the info from Chad, along with a video:

This isn’t my car, this actually belongs to a buddy of mine. I was out on the road last weekend and stopped in to see him. He’s always out looking for cool cars also, so I checked out a few things he had picked up recently and he had this really cool GTO sitting there!

If you’re interested in this one, you can call my buddy Tom at 620-231-2277 or you can always call me and I can get you in touch with him!!!! This car was stashed away for years in dry storage before he found it!

This is a roller with no motor or trans, but the rest of it is pretty much there. He does have the PHS documents on it and this was an original 4 speed car! This car will need a full restoration, but it is a pretty good car to start with and real, 242 GTO Convertibles don’t pop up everyday!

Let’s go check this one out!
