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.

Ford looks to protect logo from Toronto mayor followers

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

One is a member of the Detroit Three and the maker of the Mustang, Fusion, Explorer and F-150. The other is an admitted loudmouthed, drunk-driving, crack-smoking mayor in Canada. Unfortunately for one, it shares its name with the other. Yes, Ford Motor Company is going to great lengths to keep its iconic Blue Oval logo from being appropriated by supporters of besieged Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
At a United Way event earlier this week, some of Mayor Ford's fans showed up with shirts that featured the automaker's logo with the words "Ford Nation," on them. Naturally, Mayor Ford signed them. FoMoCo was quick to issue an unhappy statement:
"Ford did not grant permission for use of its logo. We view it as an unauthorized use of our trademark and have asked it to be stopped," spokesperson Jay Cooney said. There was also a statement from Ford of Canada's Twitter account after a user alerted the company:

Ford Mustang GT500 successor spied near SVT

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Details about the next-gen Ford Mustang are scarce, and there's even less information out there about the upcoming replacement for the Shelby GT500. Previously rumored to drop the Shelby name and wear the GT350 moniker, the highest-performance Mustang has just been spotted testing near Ford's SVT operations.
Despite being cloaked in heavy camouflage, we can instantly tell this prototype is different from other Mustang spy shots we've seen in the past. Aside from the Shelby-spec wheels, quad exhaust outlets (previous spy shots show only two) and beefier brakes, this car also has air intakes on the hood and front fenders. These elements help to neither prove nor dismiss rumors that the next SVT Mustang will be naturally aspirated. It also looks like Ford is may be planning some changes to this car's rear suspension, as there is some extra camouflage added beneath the rear end of this prototype.
As a bonus, these spy shots also give us our first look inside the new Mustang, revealing a new steering wheel (with more buttons) and a glimpse of the dual-pod instrument gauges. Check out past spy shots of the 2015 Mustang showing off its new face and driving around town.
