Jay Leno takes delivery of his 2017 Ford GT

It's good to be Jay:

Car-crazy comedian Jay Leno just added a 2017 Ford GT to his collection.

Only a handful of the $450,000 supercars have been delivered so far, and just 250 are slated for 2017.

Ford handpicked each of its buyers, and having a car show on TV certainly helped get Leno to the front of the list. He’s also the owner of a red 2005 Ford GT with white racing stripes, so that had to be worth bonus points.

...

Leno appears to have ordered a Shadow Black car with Competition Orange stripes this time, adding a matching black and orange Launch Control interior and a set of orange brake calipers. (It looks suspiciously like one of the cars that I drove at the debut event in Utah.)

While Jack Sears won two separate British Saloon Car Championships, including the very first one in 1958, it was his latter championship which would prove the most notorious. More than 50 years later, the big “Yank tank” he drove to that championship – a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 – will head to public auction for the first time straight from the collection of Sears himself.

Often described as the most famous 1963 Galaxie 500, the car – also known by its British registration of BML 9A (or chassis number 3N66R143030) – made waves just as much for its country of origin as for its ability to break the stranglehold Jaguars had on the championship at the time. As an article on the John Willment racing team from the September 1963 issue of Motorsport magazine explained, the Galaxie’s existence in Britain at the time stems from Ford’s Total Performance global racing campaign of the early 1960s.

I'm not so sure about that paint job either. These are clearly engine people...

Really? Car transport spam???


Do they do human trafficking, too??? Because slavery by any other name . . . .


I think about bumping this thing for a Frod tale sometimes, and then I don't.


I guess the locals have put away their pre-war steel for winter.
 
In the summer of 1960, Dad and I chipped in $50 each and bought a 1940 Ford Model A standard coupe with a rumble seat. The Ford wouldn't start. We towed it from Elkhart, IN to Calumet City, IL behind Dad's company car, a Chevy 210, with a cable. That worked until the first time we stopped. I stood on the brake pedal and bumped into the Chevy's back bumper. Dad turned and gave me a dirty look. At the second stop, Dad got out of the Chevy and came back and yelled at me. He never talked when something went wrong, he just yelled. This went on all the way home. The next day we towed it to the mechanic who got it running by sending me to get a set of manifold gaskets. The engine started. I put in the clutch, shifted into reverse and let out the clutch. The car sat there with the engine running. The mechanic looked at both rear axles and then sent me to buy a 4" length of 1/4" key stock. I brought it back and the mechanic had already removed the driver's side rear wheel. He put the wheel back onto the Ford and pounded in the key stock. I paid the mechanic $10 and started the Ford and drove it home.
