HERE IS A BEAUTIFUL HIGH-END DRIVER IN THIS AESTHETICALLY AND MECHANICALLY RESTORED 1959 FORD FAIRLANE CUSTOM 300 TUDOR SEDAN WITH MATCHING NUMBERS DRIVETRAIN THAT IS TURN-KEY AND READY TO DRIVE ANYWHERE!
Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person. AUCTION MAY BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME.
Vehicle came out of Wisconsin. Previous owner has had the car for the last 10+ years, slowly doing it up in his spare time with the help of his wife. There are pictures available of what the car originally looked like. Body was stripped to bare metal and repainted, complete NEW interior was installed (seat covers, carpet, door panels, headliner, etc. etc., NEWLY rebuilt motor, NEW gas tank, NEW weather-stripping, all new tune-up components. Odometer shows 98K miles which are BELIEVED TO BE ORIGINAL and the car drives fantastic!
Body is VERY STRAIGHT with excellent original gaps. Doors open and close nicely. Body does NOT appear to ever have been in any major collision.
Under the hood lies the original MATCHING NUMBERS 292ci Y-block engine (COMPLETELY REBUILT approx. 5k miles ago) with correct and original 3 speed manual transmission on the column. Everything is pretty much stock except for some new service parts installed. Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great along with the nice exhaust system. Transmission is solid and shifts great without any noises or grinding and clutch is excellent. I drive the car about once every other week for short trips around down or every once in a while I'll take it to a cruise night on the highway. It has never let me down and always performs great.
Interior is basically all stock ALL NEW PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED. Overall beautifully presentable for a high end driver.
Underside has a ROCK SOLID frame with NO rot or major rust. Good floorboards with some fiberglass repair in a couple of places and very nice and solid trunk.
The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in VERY GOOD shape throughout, and although it looks great and has plenty of shine, it is a bit wavy down the sides and could have been block sanded a bit better. Bumpers could use rechroming/replacing. Not working: radio, perhaps a bulb or two may need replacing. When you turn the wheel to the left it doesn't go all the way so the turning radius is bigger turning left than right. Couple of rock chips on the windshield. Front side vent windows need replacing. Front driver's side window has a crack.
So overall she is not perfect but she's DAMN NICE!. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind.
If you just want a GREAT LOOKING TURN-KEY DRIVER then this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need some work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made
Tue, 06 Aug 2013We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.
Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA
Fri, 31 Oct 2014Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.
