1957 Ford Fairlane Nascar Convertible Series Tribute To Fireball Roberts. Wow! on 2040-cars
Wilmington, North Carolina, United States
|
Guess who is going into The NASCAR Haul Of Fame? Fireball Roberts is going into the NASCAR Hall Of Fame this January. Here is a car built to honor his memory and success in the sport.
This is not a race car but it was "purpose built" to look as close as possible like the ones used on the track and the beaches of Daytona. It houses a period correct 312 Y Block motor and a 3 speed column shifter transmission. The car runs and drives great and I have spent loads of money trying to continually improve the driving experience of this vehicle. We also completed the 2013 Great Race with the car and drew huge crowds at every stop along the way.
If you want a traditional classic car, this one is not for you. If you want a true collector car that represents NASCAR history then nothing does it better than this one.
The car is very solid with no know rust or damage. We recently installed dyna-mat and installed the correct badging for the car. We have gone through the suspension, drivetrain, electrical, brake system etc. IT IS NOT PERFECT but it is super cool and can be driven anywhere.
Take a look at all the pictures, do all your homework and understand the true value. After all that is completed you can call me with questions at 910-262-6112 or shoot me an email. This is not a crisis sale so please don't make silly offers.
We reserve the right to sale the car and end the auction process. We will help with any shipping at the buyers expence.

eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history
Sat, 03 May 2014You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
Ford paying $750 million just to close plant in Belgium
Thu, 21 Mar 2013According to a report from Reuters, Ford is shelling out $750 million in a severance deal that will see the automaker close its facility in Genk, Belgium. The automaker reached this deal with the 4,000 hourly workers employed at the plant last week, which means the company will pay out an average of $187,500 per worker.
Ford is still negotiating with the 300 salaried workers at the factory, which currently produces the Mondeo sedan. All told, Ford expects to lose around $2 billion in Europe thanks in no small part to the region's ongoing economic downturn, and two more plants are scheduled to be shut down in Europe this year. The company will log its $750 million payout under "special items" for this quarter.
As you may recall, Ford took a similar path in the US back in 2009 when the domestic market took a spill. Back then, the company shelled out around $50,000 per employee with at least one year of experience, plus either $25,000 toward a new car or an extra cash payment of $20,000. It would seem the cost of closing plants in Belgium is a much harder pill to swallow than in the States...
