1960 Ford Fairlane 500. Complete professional restoration from top to bottom.  Not many, if any have been restored to this degree. This is a multi show winning vehicle and has had numerous concourse show invitations. This Ford Fairlane 500 was originally from a dry southern mid west area. It has been completely stripped to a bare body shell and soda blasted prior to refinishing. It has been refinished in the original color of 'Adriatic Green', with a contrasting white top. The paint quality is flawless and this is a laser straight body. All the stainless body trim is either n.o.s or has been professionally polished. Most ornamentation is n.o.s and reproduction.  Chrome plating is all show chrome. Front bumper however is original.

Vehicle is equipped with the original 223 Mileage Maker 6 cylinder engine. All internal and external parts have been replaced, rebuilt or are new. No details were overlooked for longevity and reliability. Engine starts instantly and is incredibly smooth. It is also equipped with power brakes and a 3 speed manual transmission with overdrive delivering an amazing 25+ highway fuel mileage. Car has been carefully driven aprox. 1800 wonderful miles since recent restoration.

Most suspension parts have been replaced. New exhaust system with a n.o.s muffler. All underside components have been refinished.  New brakes, brake hardware, hoses, lines, shocks, wheel bearings, wheel cylinders, etc. etc. Tires are a radial type that have been custom made through Diamond Back Classic tires.

Interior fabrics and vinyl are n.o.s. including the headliner. Door panels are original. Door seals, window seals/felts, trunk and windshield seals are new including all rubber underhood and trunk items. All convenience options are in perfect working order including the speedometer, clock, heater, and radio all of which have been restored as well.

There has been a tremendous amount of attention and time given to this restoration regarding quality, fit, finish, detail and longevity. Nothing overlooked including the correct placement of the factory chalk marks and instruction decals. This is truly a show vehicle and I am confident you will not be dissapointed. I am responsible for restoring this car back to it's former glory, and proud to offer this iconic 1960 Ford Fairlane 500 for sale.  International bidders welcome.

2015 Ford F-150 appearance guide takes the truck from mild to wild with options

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

We already know that the 2015 Ford F-150 has a base price coming in at just $395 more than the 2014 model, despite all of the new standard tech and aluminum-intensive construction in the upcoming version. Now the Blue Oval is finally giving us an idea of what that extra money actually buys customers, with the release of the appearance guide for its latest pickup.
The guide basically explains everything you could want to know about what changes occur among the multitude of trims on the 2015 F-150. There are five levels for the new truck. Although, that is something of a misnomer because most of them are also available with either Sport or Chrome packages, plus the FX4 Off-Road option with Hill Descent Control, an electronic-locking rear axle, off-road shocks and skid plates. With 13 available colors, including 4 new ones, and 14 wheel designs in various sizes, pickup buyers should have no problem specing one to fit their style.
The lineup starts out with the base XL with a black grille and fascia and 17-inch wheels. However, across most of the range the Sport and Chrome packages are also available to add either body-color or chrome accents, respectively. Next up is the XLT with a standard chrome grille but also available with a black, billet-style one with a body-color surround. Things really start getting plush with the Lariat model with leather trim, a three-bar front end and 18-inch wheels. The King Ranch sticks with that look but adds power running boards, 20-inch wheels and two-tone paint. Finally, the top-dog Platinum is all about bling with yet another frontal design, chrome door handles and mirror caps, a big logo running across the tailgate and more.

Ford and GM link bonus checks to quality scores

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

The poor first quarter earnings of Ford and General Motors are having an effect all the way up the food chain. Both automakers struggled with recalls in the first three months of the year, and, according to The Detroit News, they have responded by increasing the percentage of bonuses tied to vehicle quality for salaried workers, including top executives.
GM announced that 25 percent of bonuses (up from 10 percent) for all salaried workers would be tied to its vehicle quality standards. The automaker revealed in its financial report that it spent $1.3 billion on recall-related repairs in the first quarter, and net income was down 86 percent.
Ford also increased the quality proportion of bonuses for about 26,000 salaried workers all the way up to CEO Alan Mulally from 10 percent to 20 percent. The company announced in its report that the amount paid out in warranty and recall claims was about $400 million higher than expected in the first quarter. Its net income fell 39 percent from the previous year. "The change reflects how critical quality is to our overall business," said spokesperson Todd Nissen speaking to Autoblog.

2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty is class-leading once again

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Time for everyone to feign surprise - Ford has just announced that it has the increased horsepower and torque levels of its 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 engine for 2015. As you'd expect, the Blue Oval is claiming class-leading figures of 440 hp (up from 400) and 860 pound-feet (up from 800), and that's enough to enable Ford's F-450 Super Duty model to tow as much as 31,200 pounds, which, again, the automaker claims is class leading.
Now, it should be noted that the max rating quoted above is achieved with the Ford F-450. The 2015 F-350, which is perhaps a better comparison to the Ram 3500 HD pickup that claimed the towing crown in 2013 at an even 30,000 pounds, is capped at 26,500 pounds, either with a gooseneck or when towing a fifth-wheel trailer. In any case, it's going to take a load the size of Godzilla to make any of the current crop of fullsize heavy-duty pickup trucks break into a sweat. For those keeping track, Chevy rates its 2015 Silverado HD at a maximum of 23,200 pounds.
Ford's newfound pulling power comes courtesy of a larger turbocharger for its in-house Power Stroke engine, new fuel injector tips and, we'd assume, retuned computer controls. Besides the engine enhancements, the F-350 gets a wider front track for 2015 and new front springs, while the F-450 gains commercial-grade 19.5-inch wheels and tires, new rear U-joints, leaf springs, stabilizer bars and shocks. The steering and brake systems have also been upgraded.
