1959 Ford Fairlane Galaxie 500 Sunliner Convertible on 2040-cars
Albany, New York, United States
1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner Convertible
Powered by a Ford V8. The engine runs good. It has the Cruise-O-Matic 3 speed automatic transmission. It is equipped with power steering. It could use a new convertible top. The interior is in good condition for being original, it could use a new rug and front seat covers. This is a good running, good driving car that has been well maintained over the last 50 years. It has a straight body with decent paint but is an older paint job and has it's share of common chips and scratches. Chrome is average to above average on most of the exterior trim. This is a driver quality car and not a show car, so I'm sure you know what to expect. The paint rating is a 7 in my opinion on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being near perfect. There has been some repairs in trunk floor pans and possibly other areas as would be expected of a vehicle this age but still shows well. Recently a dual exhaust was installed, power steering seals were replaced and a new gas tank was installed. Please note: It has a trans fluid drip on the floor when you park overnight. This a hard to find car in this price range as this model in full restored condition is in the $45-50k range. Ford Sunliners are hard to find, especially in this turn key driver quality. Usually examples of Sunliners you find are basket cases for $5-10k and fully restored sunliners for the above mentioned $40-50k. There is quite a bit of upside value as you continue to improve this car from it's present condition. In summary this is a good car to have some fun in and you can improve the value and quality as you have fun with it. Value price makes this 59 Ford a good buy for the collector or enthusiast that would like to buy a hard to find classic convertible.

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
Next SVT Mustang may axe Shelby name, go naturally aspirated
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Following our first glimpse at the 2015 Ford Mustang out on the road, the fine folks at Road and Track have divulged some details on what the Blue Oval's next pony might have in store. We've already seen that the car will get some very sleek, Evos-inspired design cues, and an independent rear suspension is indeed in store. These new details, however, concern the muscle car's beating heart.
For starters, the base Ford coupe is expected to carry on with V6 power, likely from the same 3.7-liter unit found in today's car. From there, R&T says the next step up will be a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, likely displacing 2.3 liters, putting out as much as 350 horsepower. Of course, a Mustang wouldn't be a Mustang without V8 thrust, and R&T states that the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 will continue on into the 2015 car, making something like 450 horsepower.
But it's at the high end of the Mustang range where things will, reportedly, get very, very interesting. Road & Track claims that the top-shelf 'Stang will likely lose the supercharger from its engine, producing a metric crap-ton of naturally aspirated grunt instead. Additionally, the SVT-fettled Mustang will likely be dropping its Shelby moniker, in favor of "a name you're familiar with," according to the magazine (you know, like, Cobra).
2015 Ford Mustang revs it up at Cars & Coffee
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Just because the new 2015 Ford Mustang has officially been released, you didn't think that would be the end of the matter - did you? Of course not. There'll still be plenty of rumors, reports and video footage to bring you. Like this, the first non-official footage of the new pony car in the wild.
Shot by YouTube user SotA1080 and dug up by our friends at CarBuzz, this clip shows the new Mustang posing for photos (alongside other Mustangs) and starting up its engine at the most recent gathering of Cars & Coffee in Irvine, CA. And this being the GT model, it's not packing the V6 or the turbo four, but the red-blooded 5.0-liter V8 that tells us and enthusiasts worldwide that the new Mustang has not lost its way. Scroll on down to watch the footage for yourself.
