  Hello, this auction is for a 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door sedan.  If you are wanting to build a Thunderbolt clone this is the exact car you need.  All of the original Thunderbolts were 2 door post cars with the deluxe 500 trim.  This car is very straight and with minor bodywork it could be painted.  The only real dent in the car is on the passenger side near the corner of the back bumper.  It is visible in the pictures. Currently this car runs and drives, it has a 289 2 barrel engine and a 3 speed manual transmission.  I bought this car from the second owner and it was sold new here in the central valley.  The car has no rust and no rust repair. Both the front and rear frame section show no signs of damage and on the underside of the car you can still see some of the original gold/silver paint.  The previous owner bought the car from the original owners estate in 2002, he did quite a bit of work to the car to make it roadworthy as it had been sitting in a carport since 1983. ( I still have 1 of the original black plates with the 1983 sticker and the dealers license plate frame). 

The work done to this car in 2002 by the previous owner is as follows:

1. Complete brake system rebuild.  All 4 wheel cylinders and the master cylinder were replaced.  In addition both the metal brake lines and the flex hoses were replaced.

2. 4 new Wheel Ventiques steel wheels were installed. The rears are 15x8 and the fronts are 15x7 both have reverse offset. New BFG TA radials were installed at this time too and the tread is still good but they do have some cracks. 

3.  Coolant was flushed and oil was changed in both the rear axle and the transmission.  Also the fuel tank was professionally cleaned. 

4.  Front and rear seat were reupholstered in tan cloth.

5.  The door jambs and the dash were repainted white.  Also the exterior of the car was primered.  When I got the car it was faded so I reprimed the car with PCL epoxy flat white primer.   

  Last week I rebuilt the carburetor, and replaced the fuel pump, the car runs well.  Included in the auction is the 4 original door panels with armrests ( The armrests are in good condition but during storage the door panels got wet so they are really only good for patterns) and a new heater core.  I also have the windshield wiper arms and the inside door handles and window cranks.  The original air cleaner is the only item missing.

Payment & Shipping: Cash and local pickup is always preferred.  If you are a long distance away I will be happy to work with you on shipping, however I would like the car to be picked up within 14 days of auction close.  A $250 deposit via PayPal is due within 48 hours of auction close.  If you don't use PayPal, please send me a message and I will be happy to work something else out with you. 

Trades: Like everything else I have for sale I would entertain a full or part trade. No pickups, motorcycles or cars newer then the 1970's.  

If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures of the car please feel free to e-mail or call 559-313-1454. Thanks Jeff.

Woman reunited with stolen Mustang after 28 years

Sun, Dec 28 2014

An enthusiast Christmas story: Salinas, California resident Lynda Alsip bought a 1967 Ford Mustang in 1984 when she was 17 years old, having saved $800 after a summer of toil at a grocery store. She got a vanity plate that read "LYNDA67," for the year she was born, but she only got to enjoy the car for two years: in 1986, after a night out, someone stole it from her apartment complex. She hadn't seen it since. Then a man – another Salinas resident – tried to register the car at the DMV this year. He said he bought it as a project car in 1991, yet the DMV couldn't find any record of it. The DMV office sent the case of the untraceable car to the California Highway Patrol, where Officer Christopher Menchen dug into the records, and his search paid off. The officer located Alsip's stolen record report from 1986 and connected the Mustang to it's registered owner in 1986, who was Alsip's mother. The CHP found the forest green Mustang in the man's garage, and they figure it's been there since 1991. After waiting through the still-ongoing three-month investigation, the CHP reunited Alsip – now a wife and a mother of two – with her car on December 22. It's undriveable, but her original vanity plate is back on and she plans to restore it. The video above has the story.

2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
