For sale is a 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie Skyliner. It is one of the rare retractable hardtops. This car comes well equipped with options including 352 300 HP engine, Cruise-o-matic transmission, factory air conditioning, dual spotlights, power steering, power brakes and electric wipers. It also has the desirable two tone colors of geranium and colonial white. Overall on a 1 to 5 scale, I feel it is a condition 3, which is presentable for local parades and cruise-ins but not a show car. I will detail an accurate description as follows. First of all, the engine starts and runs well with no odd noises or smoke. We are not sure of the actual mileage. The Cruise-o-matic transmission is rebuilt and performs well. The differential has no problems or issues. The car has had one repaint long ago with the color scheme done in reverse of original as shown on the original data plate. The paint has good shine but has nicks, scratches and waves. There is evidence of filler along some lower parts of the body. It appears there is small spotty rust in the outer rockers, lower door corners and lower rear quarters and wheel lips. The floors are not rusty and have original paint showing under the carpet. The trunk is mostly solid with only the outer rear corners being somewhat thin. The inner rockers and floor supports are solid, and the frame has no damage or rust. I see no evidence of any body or frame damage due to an accident. The rear bumper has been rechromed, and the front is nice original. All other stainless and chrome trim looks to be good original with some dings and scratches. The windshield has small wiper scratches on the driver's side, and there are cracks in the passenger door glass. All the windows roll up and down. All weather stripping is original and worn with a few pieces missing. The interior has been redone some years ago in original style and with similar to original materials. It has some spotty wear. Operationally the car is good with the retractable top working fine. The exterior lights and turn signals work, as well as the wipers, horn, speedometer, odometer, oil light, amp light and dash lights. The fuel gauge, radio, heater fan, clock, left door lock and domelight do not work. The air conditioner is missing some refrigerant lines and does not work, but all the main components are there. The right hand spotlight is damaged and missing some parts. Also the rear Fairlane emblem, luggage tub and jack are missing. Some recently repaired items are the transmission and radiator. Recently replaced items are brakes, battery, starter solenoid, starter drive, mufflers, drive belts and thermostat. Overall it is a mostly complete, good driving car with a desirable color combination and good options which can be enjoyed as is or as an excellent candidate for restoration. Some miscellaneous spare spotlight and continental kit parts are included. Thanks for looking. You can call Steve at 812-449-7184. On Oct-14-13 at 12:51:38 PDT, seller added the following information: The NADA Classic Car Price Guide lists the value of this car in this condition with a low retail price amount of $20,625. Hagerty Insurance also shows this car in this condition as having a value of $25,000. My reserve has been lowered to $19,000. |

2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.
Jeep Grand Cherokee, BMW i8, Ford F-150 win 2015 Green Car Awards in DC [w/video]
Tue, Jan 27 2015There were three shiny trophies handed out at the Washington Auto Show last week by Green Car Journal, and they went to three different examples of what "green" means in the automotive industry today. The Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel won the award for the 2015 Green SUV of the Year, the BMW i8 was named the 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year and the Ford F-150 took the 2015 Green Car Technology Award honor. There is a case to be made that the aluminum body of the new Ford truck will make a bigger impact in the overall fuel usage in the US than almost any other vehicle, given the numbers of F-150s that Ford sells each year. The B20 biodiesel-capable Jeep gets up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. And the i8 puts all sorts of new, fuel-saving technologies into an attractive package. Looking over the winners, and the list of finalists you can see in our photo gallery, and you can see that the definition of green is expanding every year. You can watch Green Car Journal editor Ron Cogan hand out the 2015 awards in the video below and we'll for sure be paying attention to what wins next year. 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year and Green Car Technology Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has named the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel its 2015 Green SUV of the Year™ and the BMW i8 its 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year™, with the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 earning the magazine's 2015 Green Car Technology Award™. Winners were determined by a jury of Green Car Journal editors and automotive experts. The prestigious awards were announced in Washington, D.C. today at a Green Car Awards™ press conference held during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day at the Washington Convention Center. "These are truly commendable vehicles representing the 'best-of-the-best' in so many ways," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "The auto industry's very early focus on small cars and efficiency-for-environment tradeoffs has evolved to now include a more dynamic field of 'greener' models in all vehicle classes. Those wanting greater efficiency or better environmental performance are no longer constrained by limited choices or vehicle types that fall outside their top purchase preferences.
Are you Ford's next Bullitt Mustang? [w/poll]
Thu, 27 Mar 2014Ford has a long history of offering special editions of its legendary Mustang. One of the most vaunted of those trim packages, though, has only been offered twice. The first time was in 2001, and then again in 2008. Yes, we're talking about the Bullitt.
Named for the infamous Dark Highland Green Mustang Fastback driven by Steve McQueen in the 1968 cop melodrama Bullitt, the car was famous for not just its pilot, but the high-speed chase it took part in during the movie. Now, we think we have images of the next Bullitt.
According to our spy photographers, the paint is a "dead-ringer" for the Dark Highland Green that has signified these special edition Mustangs. While we're inclined to agree, it's also worth pointing out that this shade looks very similar to one of the 2015's other new colors, Guard. We've yet to see one on the road (let alone in such dreary conditions), so it's tough to say for certain.
