**1964 Ford Fairlane, Socal Rustfree, Thunderbolt Clone? 5.0l, Auto, Sweet Car** on 2040-cars
United States
1964 Fairlane two door post coupe - THUNDER BOLT clone??? This is a solid, rustfree California car that's now running a newer Mustang GT 5.0L HO EFI motor. Engine has been modified with Edelbrock performer heads and a nice sounding E-303 roller cam. The trans is FoMoCo's indestructable C-4 auto, the rear is an 8" POSI, running street friendly 3:50 gears. It has a brand new 2-1/2 inch exhaust with flowmaster mufflers which runs to the back of the car, she sounds nice and throaty but not obnoxious. The inside is very clean with cloth covered buckets and rear bench, floor shifter is your tried and true B&M competition shifter. This old gal runs and drives perfect and is a perfect base to built your ThunderBolt Clone - it's already got the right hood! The buyer has a choice of wheels - we have a set of draglite wheels 4" front and 7" back, or 7" steel wheels and 4" torque thrust wheels as seen on car in the pics. It'll be the buyer's choice or make a deal for all of them? This car has no rust in the floors or the trunk. It has great paint with a couple of minor blemishes. It has been well taken care of and was always garage kept. Overall it's a really nice car that has plenty of power which runs and drives great!

Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.
Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
