One very complete and intact 1962 Ford Fairlane 500 Barn Find. Original V8 car (engine does run), 3 speed transmission and just 2 doors. VIN 2R41L130185 confirms the 221 V8, built in San Jose, Corinthian White exterior and 500 trim. The car was rescued from storage (last registered in 1973), cleaned, engine fired and evaluated. 84,000 miles on the odometer. The small 221 V8 was only available in '62 and '63 adding to the unique originality of this find. Here is what I can tell you about the car.
The Good:
Very complete car, 2 door, engine runs good and does not smoke, 8" drop out style rear, all glass is excellent, title in hand, structurally solid (wheel wells, engine compartment, unibody rails, shock towers), rockers and door jambs in good shape, rolls freely, doors shut nicely, practically new tires, new ignition tumbler/key, new water pump, new fuel pump, seats are solid but need new covers, parking brake operational, transmission works without noise, car will drive and shift. Generator converted to a delco internally regulated alternator. Hear it run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ7BHUa5elg

(the rope has been replaced with a real V-belt)

The bad:
Floors & trunk have some soft spots, drivers lower quarter needs replacement, drivers door dented, passenger quarter has some damage/dented, needs master cylinder/brakes not working, door key missing, interior needs overhaul, trunk latch missing.
This is a great candidate for full restoration or with a few components could be driven. This car hasn't seen the road for 40 years so it would need a good looking over however its a great start. Additional pictures available upon request. Will need to be towed, selling as is.

Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.

2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
