This is an exceptionally fine, totally restored, 1965 Ford Fairlane 500, two door hardtop. This is a two owner car that has been in Georgia since birth. It was sold new at Carey Paul Ford in Atlanta and did not see a second owner for nearly 45 years. You will see in the photo section the original bill of sale and title. In fact, the original keys are still being used today. The body on this vehicle is almost unbelievable. It has all original metal and is as straight as it was coming off the assembly line. The exterior base/clear finish is impeccable. This is the original Springtime yellow and black interior, just as it came from the factory. The bumpers have been rechromed and all of the stainless steel trim is original, but has been meticulously polished to look almost new. The glass has all been replaced, including the tinted windshield. This car is not just nice, it is somewhat breath taking. The more you look and study this one, the more you will appreciate the countless hours that have been put into this restoration. The interior is all new including the door panels, seat covers, headliner, kick panels, and carpet. A custom am/fm/cd stereo and pair of gauges have been added below the dash. The engine compartment is highly detailed, in keeping with the rest of the car. A chrome engine kit has been added, as well as a new power brake booster and master cylinder. This is the original numbers matching 289, V-8 engine that has recently been rebuilt with documentation. The automatic transmission, also rebuilt, is original to the car as well. The undercarriage is solid as a rock with original floors and stock rear end. The brake system has all been redone with new stainless steel lines, new upper ball joints, sway bar, new rear springs, new gas tank, dual exhaust, stainless steel exhaust valve seats, and so much more. The trunk space is immaculate with a new spare tire, jack, wrench and floor mat. You can tell that no expense has been spared, nor detail overlooked. This car runs and drives as good as it looks on this new set of Nexen radial tires and Old Style American wheels. This is the original mileage showing on the odometer, 111k miles. The trophies you see in the photos are just the beginning of a collection that this car will earn over the years.

MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms
Mon, 17 Jun 2013Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
Ford readying dozen+ Mustang models for SEMA
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Ford is unsurprisingly bringing a herd of its new 2015 Mustang models to next month's SEMA show in Las Vegas. Over a dozen of them are arriving from top aftermarket outfits like Galpin Auto Sports, Steeda, Roush and others. The Blue Oval isn't just shining a spotlight on the V8 model, though. The new EcoBoost 2.3-liter version with 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque is also getting its time in the sun.
Among the shined-up ponies will be a showcar helping Galpin celebrate the Mustang's golden anniversary, with the car is covered in the precious metal. The black paint over the body has gold flecks in it, and the wheels, side sills, brake calipers and badges all match, as well. However, it takes more than something shiny to truly impress at SEMA, and Galpin's Mustang also packs a Whipple supercharger for the 5.0-liter V8, boosting the bottom line to 725 horsepower. Take that, Hellcat. There's even a window in the hood to look through, not unlike a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The coupe also wears new headlights with LED turn signals that activate in sequence, just like the taillights, and the interior features black-and-gold Recaro seats.
Also set for its SEMA debut is an MRT showcar that takes the EcoBoost Mustang for a gallop with its TKO treatment. The black and orange two-tone car has been designed to incorporate select road racing elements. Mechanical upgrades include 14-inch brake rotors with new ducts, a Vortech air-to-air intercooler and an Air Lift suspension. The Mustang also shows off the company's products for added style and performance including a hood with integrated heat extractors and a unique front splitter.
Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2
Mon, 21 Jul 2014If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.
