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. |

Ford wins second consecutive International Van of the Year award with Transit Connect
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect isn't even on sale yet, but it's already making its presence felt around the world. At a commercial vehicle expo in Russia, the Transit Connect was named the International Van of the Year.
Ford's small work van edged out the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by just seven points to allow Ford to grab this honor for the second consecutive year, which it won last year with the Transit Custom. Not only does this make Ford the first to ever win the award in back-to-back years, but it's also the fifth time the automaker has won this award since 2003 (two with the Transit Connect, two with the fullsize Transit and once with the Transit Custom). Ford congratulates itself for the accomplishment in a press release posted below.
Ford announces 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Ford has pulled the wraps off its anticipated 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition model, a new variant of the popular street-legal off-road specialist. In a nutshell, the "special" is all cosmetic - there are no mechanical upgrades to the truck and its 6.2-liter V8 (411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque), Torsen limited-slip differential, beadlock-capable wheels and internal triple-bypass FOX Racing Shox dampers all remain untouched.
The SVT Raptor Special Edition, which adds cosmetic enhancements to the existing Luxury Package, will be offered in Ruby Red Metallic and Tuxedo Black Metallic with box-side graphics. The interior upgrades include Brick Red seat bolsters (with black inserts), cloth honeycomb highlights and a console top finish panel.
As of now, Ford has only release a couple pictures of the Special Edition model. But check back later, as we will update the gallery when additional high-res images are released later today, and be sure to peruse the press release below for all the details.
Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang to cost $52,995?
Mon, Dec 1 2014The 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang was one of the shining stars of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. And the Blue Oval's latest muscle car might even have reason to burn a little brighter if a recent rumor about its price proves true. Best of all are rumors that an even more potent version of the Shelby is potentially on the way. According to Horsepower Kings citing unnamed Ford sources at the LA Auto Show, the 2015 GT350 carries a starting price of $52,995, and the Tech package adds a further $2,995 on top of that. There's also the claim of a Track package for an undisclosed price. However, it doesn't look like LA is the last we'll see of the newest Shelby because the source also alleges that a top-rung GT350R is under development with bigger brakes, modified aerodynamics and sportier tires. This rubber-burner is reported to be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. Assuming these claims are correct, it puts the Shelby in fighting form against its two Chevrolet Camaro rivals. Ford reports that the GT350's 5.2-liter V8 pumps out over 500 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque. At $52,995, it would undercut by a couple of grand the $55,505 (before destination) base price of the 580-hp 2015 ZL1. The super 'Stang might also beat the 505-hp Z/28 with its power rating, while being vastly cheaper than the track-focused Camaro's $72,305 price. This could be quite the performance shoot-out.
