This is a rare car and will make a great restoration project for the experienced or newbie. This auction is for a 1969 Torino, Fairlane 500, fastback. The car is complete and has the number matching engine and transmission. The car currently does not run and I have not had the engine and tranny inspected by a shop. They are there, the numbers match and they appear complete. The car is sound for its age and does not have alot of cancer in it or much rust on the frame rails. The roof, quarters, and fenders appear solid. There is a bad spot on the passenger side door skin that will need repaired, and one on the rear deck on the passenger side. Both are not to hard to fix. The floors in the car have suface rust but dont appear to need any new metal, I have not looked in the trunk yet to see what its condition is. I am guessing that it is ok as all the seals on the car seem good. The doors are tight with no sag in them and open and shut smooth and firm. The hood opens and closes good but does have a small dent spot along the drivers side. The car is in Original condition with 90 percent of the trim for the car on it. The original motor is a 302, with an Automatic transmission. As stated I have not tried to start the car at all, I am sure it will need some sort of work but to get it going but am unsure of what it would take. All the gages and interior are there with the exception of the passenger side door pannel, I dont know where it went and will update the auction should I find it in the trunk later today when I go check. The car does have the Fairlane 500 badges, and has good options on it. If you need more info, pics, ect please feel free to give me a call, this is one of about 300 old cars and truckis that I will be listing for a friend of mine who used to own a salvage yard, my number is 360-295-0886 (Sean) Vader Automotive. I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime should I receive an acceptable offer as the car as it is for sale locally also. There are not many of these old fastbacks left, now is the time to buy and restore yours. To help save the new owner some money we may be able to deliver the car anywhere in the US as well as to any shipping port of call for overseas buyers, however, ALL Shipping costs are to be paid by the buyer. We would be at a lot cheaper rate then the shipping companys, but will need fuel and expenses covered. I will be taking more pictures later today and will add them tonight to the auction. Let me know what your looking for, we may just have it. Please don't call asking for parts, we do have a few that will be sold as parts cars but as a rule we don't sell parts. As I said above I will be listing several other classic project cars (and a couple restored ones) soon. a few of the are listed below, Thanks

New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150
Wed, 23 Jul 2014How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.
