1964 Ford Fairlane 500 Hardtop Coupe 289 V8 No Reserve on 2040-cars
Clifton, New Jersey, United States
Up for sale is my 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 Hardtop Coupe with Cruise-o-matic (automatic) transmission. I am selling it because I have no time to enjoy it and finish it. It was rarely used. It has a 289 (4.7L) small block, power steering, and heat. It starts on the first try, drives straight as an arrow, and runs and shifts excellent. It has straight pipes and it sounds awesome. Radio cassette with auxiliary jack and Schosche rear speakers.
Brand new items that I have bought...15"inch U.S. Mag chrome wheels with new Fuzion 225 rears and 215 fronts, Holley electric choke 4 barrel carburetor and Edelbrock manifold, custom headliner, 1 reproduction in-dash front and 2 Scosche rear speakers, 2 new front seat belts, door lock knobs, reproduction front speaker, dome lens and base, full tune up, complete set of door, trunk and glove box locks, chrome thermostat housing and other items. Some original parts that will be included...steering wheel horn and cap, original manifold and 2 barrel carb, some chrome trim and letters, etc. The wheels were non-original rusted chrome steelies, therefore I had to replace them. Sun visors will be included but are not covered with vinyl. What it needs...New paint. The horn needs to be connected to the steering wheel. It has a working air horn with button on the dash. It needs to be tuned because when you depress the pedal all the way at low RPMs, it wants to turn off. Other wise it drives great. The rear lights don't work. They did not too long ago. I suspect it was when I was messing around with the cables as I was cleaning the rear tail light chrome. Front speaker needs to be connected. Passenger door opens from the inside but as I mentioned, new locks will be included. Fuel and temp gauge do not work. Thanks and good luck! This car is sold as-is where-is and has no written or implied warranty. Local pick-up or your automobile transport company. Not responsible for shipping arrangements. |

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
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 names Lincoln chief as North American president following Nair's departure
Thu, Feb 22 2018Ford announced yesterday that its North American president Raj Nair would no longer be working for the company due to "inappropriate behavior." As a result, the company needed fill that gaping vacancy. The new North American president and Ford Group vice president will be Kumar Galhotra, and his term in the new role will start on March 1. Galhotra will remain the group vice president and chief marketing officer for Lincoln through March, meaning he's the head of the luxury brand. He's had this position since 2014. Before that, he was vice president of engineering for all of Ford. With Galhotra's promotion, a number of internal promotions follow. Joy Falotico, current chairman, CEO and group vice president of Ford's credit division will fill Galhotra's position, and Dave McClelland, vice president of marketing for Ford Asia Pacific, will fill her role. Other shuffling at Ford includes Stewart Rawley's promotion to vice president for Ford North America and chief operating officer. He is the current vice president for strategy at Ford. Ford China's chairman and CEO John Lawler will take Rawley's old role, and Cathy O'Callaghan will take over Lawler's job at Ford China, but not until June 1. O'Callaghan is currently vice president, corporate controller and chief financial officer for global markets at Ford. Related Video:
