1964 Ford Fairlane 500 up for Auction
Great project with excellent paperwork, needs more than my skills and time will allow. It must go, I need the room for something else. I have a super low reserve to get it sold.
This car was ordered with 289-2V, 3 speed (green dot) Cruise-o-Matic trans, Black Vinyl Top, tinted glass, rocker panel mouldings, Power Steering, Air Cond., Power Brakes, 2 speed wipers, padded dash. Comes with Window Sticker and ALL paperwork from the dealer, manual, paint chip brochure, cards they figured different engines and options on, even a "lifetime guarantee" from the dealer. The car was from Kansas City, built and sold there. I got it with intentions of putting it back to original, but it just needs more than I'm capable of doing.
Needs- Rust repair on roof (from moisture under vinyl top), rust repair on rear quarters, bumpers redone or replaced, some trim pieces straightened and cleaned or replaced (all is there), headliner, carpet and other interior parts. Rear seat is good, front has 2 bad places, door panels could be cleaned and used if needed. I have 2 good used front fenders for replacements, also have some patch pieces for the quarters I cut off another car. All glass is good, rear window is out for rust repairs to window channels. It will need a new battery tray welded in(common issue) This car was undercoated, so the rear frames are good.
Mechanical- runs and drives (haven't started it in quite a while) Trans needs bands adjusted and a front seal(slips when you get on it good). Air Cond. compressor is in trunk, Brake booster is in trunk, PS cylinder and parts will need replaced(I located a correct PS pump and bought it- the remote reservoir mounts on the fenderwell), needs suspension rebuilt, radiator should be replaced(it had some crud in it). I replaced rear axle bearings and seals, new brakes on all 4 corners, tune-up on engine, fuel filter, added rebuilt carb, got gauges working, replaced ign. switch, (still needs some switches and wiring work) ,of coarse it needs new exhaust. I also have some small parts for repairs needed. I cleaned and coated the fuel tank and it seems to be doing well.
I have a lot of books, magazines, manuals, CDs that go with it as well.
I welded in front floorboard panels (they're solid, but not as pretty as you see on T.V.) I didn't figure I'd lift the carpet up at shows. Rear floors and trunk floor are in good shape.
If you like the '64 Fairlane's and have the skills and time, this is a great project. (the paperwork is awesome) It would be a great parts car as well, if you have one that's in better shape.
I've tried to be honest in my description, I'm sure I've forgot something. This is not a car that's ready to drive on the road, the car is almost 50 years old, it needs to be restored.
Please ask questions if needed, I may not get back right away but I'll try. Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end auction early. Please don't bid if you can't pick it up or pay, I have got to get it sold and gone. Reserve is very low, I'm prepared to take my loss and move on. Did I mention it HAS TO GO ?
Pick-up only. The car must be picked-up in Columbia, MS between Sept. 18-30, after that I'll have to move it outside. If this is an issue, don't bid. That's the only time I know for certain I'll be home.
Thanks for looking and good luck!

2014 Ford Fiesta ST
Tue, 15 Oct 2013I'm not overly inclined to professional jealousy, as a rule. Sure, I go a bit green around the eyes when Ramsey draws the 911 GT3 trip to Weissach, Harley is tapped-in to drive a completely stunning Porsche 911 by Singer, or, you know, Drew Phillips gets to shoot a Lamborghini Veneno in the middle of a desert like some sort of sheik. I hate you guys...
Honestly though, one of the new car events that dug me the most, was when our Steven J. Ewing got to fling the Ford Fiesta ST around some hot corner of Europe. What goes around comes around, I suppose, as Mr. Ewing himself espoused an envious nature of the Focus ST trip that came before.
The good news in all this covetous intra-office behavior? All the cars mentioned, and specifically the Fiesta ST, are just wonderful to drive. I can say that with more confidence than ever now, having joined Ford for a good bit of Fiesta-flinging myself. In my case, the locale was slightly more pedestrian (Michigan not Portugal), and the car in question was the five-door version of the Fiesta ST that we get here in The States, as opposed to the three-door number they get across the pond.
XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.
Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
