1964 fairlane 500, 289 V8 4 speed toploader transmission. 4:11 positraction, polished american mags.I started restoration on this car in 2006 and worked on it as I had time. the original 260 was replaced with A 289, and the three speed was replaced with A 4 speed toploader transmission rebuilt by dan williams toploaders in north carolina, the 3:00 rear end was replaced with A 4:11 posi tract. I put 15 inch tires on the rear and 14 inch on the front, for the stance, and for the new gear. I replaced the complete front end, including new coil springs. I put brand new leaf springs on the rear, with traction bars. I purchased bucket seats from A 64 fairlane sports coupe and the console. the whole interior was redone in original equipment interior from dennis carpenter. this has got to be the sharpest looking interior ford made that year.before putting in carpet I lined the floor board and doors with A rubberized heat and noise shield from jegs. then the interior was painted with candy apple red base coat, clear coat. then the outside was primered, and painted with the same base coat clear coat. I purchased A fiberglass hood from crites, and had it strengthened, for use with the stock hinges, and A light spring. I tried to make this car as original looking as possable, just like one that you would have ordered new in 1964, and the bubble hood for the nostalgia. even though the car has been finished for A few years, I have not put over two hundres miles on it. you can say just enough to work all the bugs out of it. I took it to the local ford dealer to have the front end alignment done, and it caused quite A stire. they ask me to leave it there as long as possable that day, because the customers and everyone else was coming in to look at it, and if I drive it anywhere, I just leave the windows down, so people can look inside all they want, and they all like to tell me about theire cars of the time. these cars really are A time capsule. because of my health I have decided to sell it, I hate having it just sit in the garage all the time, where no body can see it. I will try to cover everything with the photos. this car may not be perfect but it is just what I would have bought new from the showroom. I didnt buy my first new car until 1966, and it had all the bells and whistles too. the orginal 260 engine is is still here, incase any one would like to make A numbers matching car. DO NOT LOOK AT THE DATE ON THE PICTURE. I DID NOT CHANGE THE DATE ON THE CAMERA, WHEN I CHARGED THE BATTERY SORRY i DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THEM OVER AGAIN

Lincoln MKC will be renamed the Corsair in 2021, probably
Mon, Jun 18 2018Lincoln will be renaming its MKC crossover, calling it the Corsair instead. Automotive News is reporting that the recently trademarked, yet storied Ford model name Corsair will be affixed on the 2021 model year crossover. The report says Ford has already told its U.S. dealers about the name at an Orlando meeting last month. Ford has a long history with the Corsair nameplate in the States and abroad: Most recently, it has been in use in Australia in the early 1990s, in the UK in the 1960s, and before that Ford offered an Edsel Corsair in the late 1950s. Even if an Edsel connection might not be the best possible thing for a Ford product, let alone a Lincoln, it might serve the crossover well as Ford moves to ditch the MK naming convention it's used for Lincoln for the past decade. Still, the manufacturer is said to have cautioned dealers it might opt out of using the Corsair name before production time. At the same meeting, Ford reportedly showed the next-generation Escape, the Explorer, a battery electric crossover dubbed the Mach 1, a yet-unnamed small SUV (which might be the Bronco) , and a new Lincoln Continental complete with suicide doors. The MKC will still receive a refresh for next year, retaining its letters-name for a couple of years before the bigger redesign for 2021. Currently, the MKC is the strongest-selling Lincoln product in China, and it brings in numerous new Lincoln customers there. In the U.S. it's outsold by the MKX crossover and is neck-and-neck with the MKZ sedan.
The big dune jump and the damage done
Mon, 20 May 2013The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City
Thu, 02 May 2013Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.
