Up for auction today is a beautiful original 1967
Ford Fairlane 500 2 door Hardtop. I have
owned this car for a couple of years and it’s time to thin out my fleet (have
10 cars right now and I think the wife is going to divorce me soon if I don’t
sell a few lol) so this car is going up for sale. It took me years to find this car and I will
miss it since I think it’s the best body style ever for the Fairlane.
Like I said I purchased the car a couple years ago
out of Texas (I refuse to buy any cars from the north rust belt) and fell in
love because it was an original car that has never been tinkered with. I have the original sales receipt for the
car, owner’s manual, Ownercard and several receipts for service done over the
years.
The car was purchased new from Anderson Ford in
Kingsport Tennessee on July 7, 1967 by Mr. Ralph Churchwell. The car cost Mr. Churchwell $3030.30 and
included optional 289 V8, Vinyl Trim, Select Shift Automatic Transmission,
735X14 White Sidewall tires, Power Steering, AM Radio and Full Wheel Covers. Mr. Churchwell lived in Tennessee for many
years and then moved to Texas (where I purchased the car) so the car has always
been a southern car until I purchased it.
Since I purchased the car it has always been garaged and I think I have
only driven it about 500 miles over the past few years.
The car is in very good condition and although it
will not earn you first place at the Concours d’Elegance it will turn heads as
you drive down the road and at local cruise nights. I have received countless compliments on this
car and many people can’t believe the condition of the underside of the car
since these were so prone to rust. This
car is an original numbers matching car that has not been butchered like most
of these old Fairlanes.
The body is in good shape and this car is laser straight
down the sides. I have seen many cars
that claim to be straight and look like oceans with all the work they have had
done to them. This again is laser
straight and from what I was told the car was repainted in the 80’s due to the
old paint fading out. Car was painted
the same color, Wimbledon White, and today the paint still looks good and has a
healthy shine to it. Back after the car
was repainted it was hit in the right rear quarter panel and the entire quarter
panel was replaced. The rear seam where
the quarter meets the rocker panel must not have been treated properly and
began to rust causing the bondo to bubble up.
The steel is rock solid but the evidence of the damage is there, not
horrible but noticeable (see photo included).
The area around the rear window also has a couple of small bubbles
evident again from I think was a proper prep job and the paint does have some
minor checking on the right rear quarter from too much liquor possibly when the
paint was mixed. Don’t get me wrong this
car is a true survivor and looks great but I want you to realize it does have
deficiencies. Both driver and passenger
doors have some small rust bubbles at the corners of the doors and the driver
side floor has a small amount of rust making it week (I removed the
undercoating so you could see it better and again see photos). The rest of this car is absolutely rust free
and amazing for being a survivor. Top of
the inner fenders (has the stamp marks on the fender aprons and radiator
support still) fender aprons, torque boxes, cross members etc. are all in
perfect rust free condition.
The interior is in good condition with some wear on
the driver seat and the top of the rear seat has started to break down (see
photos). The dash is in good shape and
the dash pad along with the door panels are in good condition.
The car runs nice, smooth and quiet and does not
leak any oil. The transmission works
well and if the car sits for a couple of weeks will leave a few drops of fluid
on the ground. If the car is cold and
has been sitting awhile it will take about three to five seconds to engage in
drive and after that she is good to go, if you drive it every couple of days or
weekly it does not do this. The A-arm
bushings are worn and should be replaced, I purchased new A-arms complete with
bushings and ball joints etc. last year but just have not had the time to
install them. The last thing I can think
of is the shifter linkage is a bit loose for some reason and it makes the
shifter sloppy. I just use the emergency
brake when I park the car to be on the safe side in case it was to disengage
from park. I have never had the car
change gears or anything like that while driving but you should know that it
does have some play in it.
The car had an aftermarket A/C system in it and I
will include it with the sale of the car.
It has the compressor, underdash unit etc. and looks complete but I
never installed it. Like I said if you
win the auction I will place it in the trunk for you along with the new A-arms
and whatever other parts I may have collected over the years for it.
Well I really can’t think of anything else to
mention about the car but I am sure I forgot something so feel free to email me
your questions and I will respond as quick as I can. Remember that this car is
almost 47 years old and not a new car, the car will be sold in AS-IS condition
with no warranty either expressed or implied.
I encourage anyone to come out and view the car and if you wish to have
someone look it over on your behalf I am more than happy to accommodate. This car was previously sold to a bidder in Australia who backed out of the deal due to sudden medical problems with his son. Just a FYI in case you were wondering.......

Ford, along with KISS bassist Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed, used SEMA as a backdrop to pull the covers off Snakebit, a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck that's been updated with Shelby Mustang-derived styling bits and a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. All 550 horsepower are funneled through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels.
Underneath the custom bodywork sits a chassis that's been stretched five inches and a bed widened and bedecked with billet machined pieces that are supposed to look like wood. The 20-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels ape those of past Shelby Mustang models. The interior is swathed in two-tone leather with a bench seat designed to look - try to act surprised - like a Shelby Mustang.
Like what you see? Bidding for the truck will take place in 2014 at an unspecified Barrett-Jackson event (we'd assume Scottsdale). Proceeds will be used to help build a children's hospital in Saskatoon, in the province of Saskatchewan, where Ms. Tweed grew up. See the high-res gallery above and the press release down below for more.

Shelby American unveiled its all-new Shelby Raptor at the New York Auto Show last month, saying that it would build just 100 examples of its off-road bad boy, a pickup priced at $17,995 over the cost of the donor Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. But the Las Vegas outfit apparently underestimated just how popular the supercharged 575-horsepower 4x4 would actually be.
Strong early demand reportedly has Shelby singing a whole new tune, as the company is now saying it will build upwards of 500 units annually. While the increased production will likely make for at least 400 more happy owners, those who were on the original short list - possibly speculating on future values - might not be grinning as much. Needless to say, the company has assured everyone that each and every one of the modified Raptors will still be listed in the official Shelby registry.
Keep in mind that Ford isn't sitting idle on its trophy-truck-for-the-street, either. The company will reveal its own 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition this month.

Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
