1958 Ford Fairlane 500 4 Door Good Restorable Condition Under 80000 Original Ml on 2040-cars
Lewiston, Idaho, United States
Well, here's where I tell you what's wrong and what's right. It needs a little of this and that. but, it's fairly complete (all the parts are there except for a few tiny pieces) The chromes all there but, some isn't perfect. (see pics) The VIN number says it's a 332 but, when parts were gotten for it, they were the wrong ones so, the 352 parts fit. Must be a 352. The exterior has some surface rust in spots and the rear fenders need repair. The rest of the car has only a little surface rust on it in places. Needs paint terrible bad. The interior is all original, coming unstitched with age. It does run really well. The only thing keeping it off the road is a leaky power steering hose and the slave cylinder needs rebuilt. Now, here's what right. Never been wrecked, all the electric stuff ( power windows, 6 way power seat, radio, etc, ) all work. Got some spare parts for it that I'll throw in the trunk. Runs pretty sound. Third owner. was bought in 1958 by a doctor in my small town, then, grandmother bought it from them. then, I became owner. AT THE END OF THE AUCTION, A DEPOSIT OF 500.00 IS NEEDED TO HOLD THE CAR. THIS DEPOSIT IS NON REFUNDABLE. (keeps the tire kickers away) AND THE BALANCE ON PICKUP OF THE CAR.! NO. CHECKS ! BUYER ARRANGES SHIPPING !!

eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history
Sat, 03 May 2014You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
Ken Block ain't got a care about ruining his wheels
Tue, 22 Jan 2013During a drifting session at Irwindale Speedway in California, Ken Block made a boo-boo that would send a number of drivers immediately back to the infield. But there's an answer to "What do you do when you bash the wall while drifting and your wheel explodes?" and there's completely different answer when the question begins with the phrase, "When you're Ken Block..."
Instead of us telling you how Block handled the calamity in his Ford Fiesta competition car, you can watch it happen in the video below. You can probably also guess what it is - but it's more fun to watch.
Leno talks racing with NASCAR racer Joey Logano
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Jay Leno has to be under significant pressure knowing the appetite his fans have for a new Jay Leno's Garage video every week. This time, Jay takes a break from his usual format (something he's been doing with some frequency as of late) and goes back to his roots as a talk show host. There's no classic in the garage his episode with an interesting story to tell and a sumptuous exhaust note. Instead, the focus is purely on interviewing 23-year-old NASCAR racer Joey Logano about what it's like to be a racecar driver in his Ford Fusion.
Logano started racing at the tender age of six and has risen up the circle-track ranks to the big show of the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The two of them talk about what it's like to compete in the sport today compared to yesteryear, and Logano shares some racing anecdotes. Of course, they also get into what it's like to be on the racetrack controlling a car with about 850 horsepower, a four-speed manual transmission and brakes without any power boost. Scroll down to watch the video.
