1963 Fairlane Project Car on 2040-cars
Church Hill, Tennessee, United States
I saved this little diamond from a mad scientist gear head sorta guy! This little car was "restored" when it was still a 6 banger 3 spd papaw car, then it passed into the hands of a "fabricator" who cut the entire stock front suspension out of it and attempted to install a fox body mustang front, rear, and drive train in it. It sat unfinished for several years until it was swapped to a local junkyard for an engine. Then a fellow motorhead rescued it from the jaws of the crusher and made plans to slice and dice it. I talked him into letting me swap a fistful of dead kiteflyers for it.... and here we are! The front rails have been repaired with boxed tubing and is ready for an IFS. the rear still has the OEM leafs in place. When this lil car received its original facelift it got NEW bumpers (fr & rr) NEW weatherstripping, NEW paint, NEW windshield, NEW interior. All the cosmetics are good. it simply needs the giddy-up-go parts. Now I DO have a fresh 1970 460 w/dove heads, a T-5 tranny, Ladder bar kit and coilovers, and a set of American Racing Torque Thrust D's 17x9.5's and 17x6's with new z rated tires that is NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION! All of which can be PURCHASED POST AUCTION. Then all you need is a mustang II IFS and a 9"...... and of course some glue! Im selling this car as-is where-is. I fully expect the winning bidder to pick this up in East TN. I have equipment and the ability to load it onto your trailer without damaging the car. I have so many projects, Im a lifetime behind, thats the only reason Im letting it go. It would make a great pro touring or even a gasser if you must. I am more than willing to provide any information that will allow a bidder to make a well informed intelligent decision. Please ask any questions you might have. The winning bidder will be required to make a deposit of $1000.00 thru paypal @ the end of the auction with the balance due in cash or certified funds upon pick up. If you have a boatload of neg feedback you need to contact me before bidding. Thanks for viewing my auction and good luck! |

Ford Ranger-based 7-seat SUV spotted testing
Wed, 29 May 2013Ford looks to be working on a new SUV version of its global Ranger pickup truck. An early prototype of a seven-passenger SUV based on the Ranger has been spotted testing in Australia, and word has it buyers in the region could expect to see the model in showrooms as soon as 2014, where it could sail under the Endeavour or Everest badges. Ford Australia currently sells the Territory SUV, so there's some chance that this model could be a successor to that throne, as well.
Whatever it's called, the long-roof Ranger will feature a shorter wheelbase and more ground clearance than its pickup twin, giving the machine a bit more off-road functionality. (And here we thought we couldn't want the global Ranger any more than we already do.) While this particular vehicle sports a Territory back half grafted onto a Ranger front end, odds are a public reveal of the finished product could occur as soon as the second half of 2014, making it a 2015 model. Head over to Carsguide.com.au for a closer look.
Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.
Ford unveils its facelifted Falcon finale with new XR8
Thu, 24 Jul 2014While its days may be numbered, Ford isn't just going to let its Falcon sedan limp out for the Australian market. No, the Blue Oval is releasing a refreshed Falcon for its final years, and it's lead by this, the new XR8. That's right, this dead-car-driving is going to go out on a high note.
Ford's global design DNA dominates the looks of the new Falcon, with a grille reminiscent of the US market Fusion and the European-market Mondeo. The headlights aren't a straight port, and boast their own unique LED running light pattern (at least on the XR8), but the overall look is strikingly similar. Out back, LED taillights highlight the rear of the Faclon. Despite the substantial new fascia, this is still a mid-cycle refresh. That means most of the rest of the Falcon's body panels are carryovers from the current model.
The XR8 model, shown above, arrives with a supercharged V8, allegedly displacing 5.0 liters. Unfortunately, details on the Falcon's mechanicals are in remarkably short supply. Ford has committed to a range of turbocharged four, as well as turbocharged and naturally aspirated six-cylinders, in addition to the V8, although specifics on those mills aren't available.
