1956 Ford Fairlane Base Project on 2040-cars
Ruther Glen, Virginia, United States
|
‘56 Ford Fairlane 2 door project: Clean Title. I bought the 56 from a restoration shop when they got too busy to finish. It has been media blasted, body rust repaired and painted with epoxy primer. I chose this one because the body is ready to go back together, a great starting point for restoration or street rod. The body just needs final prep and paint. There is no engine, it was a “Y” block which froze and cracked during winter. The rest of the power train is there from bell housing to rear end. The trans is 3 on the tree. It has all of the clutch linkage, “Z” bar type, easily adapted to 302 or 351w.
Most of the bits and pieces are in boxes, did not find head lights. Steering is tight & responsive won’t require upgrade. This car is for sale only because I acquired a 49 Ford coupe and don’t have the time & space for 2 projects. |

Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]
Sun, 08 Dec 2013The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.

Ken Block is at it again in Gymkhana 6
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.
