Here is a classic 1958 Ford Skyliner Hard Top Convertible available for sale. This pink & white Fairlane is in
terrific condition and ready to enjoy. Turn on the ignition, drop the power top and off you go! Car was fully
restored approximately 12 years ago (per previous owner) and has been used sparingly the last six years (and driven
less than 300 miles during that time).
It is believed to be a three owner car. Original owner was a mechanic. Car was purchased about six years ago as a
Sunday driver but current owner never really got around to driving this car. Professional and family obligations
took up most free time he would otherwise have had to enjoy the car.
Car has been properly maintained. Seats, door panels, headliner all in terrific shape. Seat belts installed for
five passengers. The car starts, runs and drives nicely and the factory hardtop works great*. Within the past few
weeks, car has received a tune-up, fluids flushed, hoses replaced, oil changed – the engine is mechanically
sound. As seen in the photos, both exterior and interior show very well.
*Upon inspection (and to the best of my knowledge), the chrome bumpers has some pitting and minor rust (nothing
serious that would deter me if I was a buyer). While the body/paint is in very, very good condition, there are some
minor rust spots – examples documented in the photos (again, if I was a buyer I wouldn’t be deterred). If you
were to stand five feet from the car, these imperfections wouldn’t be noticeable.
Car is an automatic with power windows, power steering and power assist brakes. Heating and radio works (no a/c).
Wipers do not fully operate (they will sweep the window one way but not come down). The clock, map and headliner
lights do not work. While the top goes up and down, it can be temperamental at the start. There are 1957 hubcaps on this 1958 model. Odometer works and shows approximately 79,500 miles. I would rate this
To summarize, while there are some items that need discretionary attention, this American classic Fairlane 500
Convertible is a great car for leisurely drives – a terrific boulevard cruiser to be enjoyed with the wife (or
hubby), kids or grandchildren that can also be used as a daily driver.

RTR Spec 5 Concept shows off 2015 Ford Mustang's drifty potential

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Meet the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept, a fully functional drift car that, according to our team in Sin City, has been doling out demo drifts in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Destined to be the flagship of RTR's Tactical Performance Line, the Spec 5 Concept is, in addition to its 5.0-liter Aluminator V8 engine, chock full of performance parts that you can buy for your very own 2015 Mustang. In addition to the Ford Racing engine, the OEM parts supplier has lent the Spec 5 an aluminum radiator and a close-ratio six-speed transmission.
ASD Motorsports provided the front lower control arms, while the car itself rides on a fully customized coilover suspension. Magnaflow and American Racing have provided the exhaust system and headers, respectively. 20-inch HRE wheels, designed for RTR, are wrapped in sticky Nitto rubber.

This 2,000-hp Mustang is in serious need of wheelie bars

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

The Ford Mustang on the right is drag racing with the standard technique. The Mustang on the left, driven by David Measell, is using a new "rear bumper only" technique that evidently surprised everyone at the South Georgia Motorsports Park strip - including Measell.
Measell said his outfit just bought the car the week before the event, noting that it has more than 2,000 horsepower. Speaking of his "flying" run, Measell said, "We turned it up to dip on down," by which he meant they turned up the power in order to get his time down. Turns out all that power and all that traction sent the nose straight up into the air almost as soon as the race began.
He told an interviewer afterward that this was his first race in a "regular car" since he normally drives a pro-mod. "I like my wheelie bars," he concluded. You can see how he got there in the video below.

Ford Focus EV's slow sales trigger massive incentives

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports Ford is having real trouble moving its new Focus Electric. As a result, the automaker is offering substantial incentives in an attempt to lure in more buyers. How substantial? Try $10,750 off of a three-year lease. What's more, the EV can now be had for $37,995 ($2,000 less than its original base price) on top of an additional $2,000 cash discount to buy the EV outright - or you can opt for 1.9-percent financing if you work through Ford Motor Credit. None of which factors in various potential government incentives. Last year, Ford managed to sell a paltry 685 of the 1,627 Focus EV hatchbacks it built.
Ford isn't alone in trying to woo more buyers to its EV effort. Nissan cut the price of its Leaf by a whopping 18 percent for 2013, now down to $28,800 and built in the USA. The move followed the automaker's substantial incentives in 2012.
If you want a Focus Electric, you can now apparently get your hands on one for as little as $285 per month with $930 due at signing for a 36-month lease with 10,500 miles per year.
