Tacoma, Washington, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Ford
Drive Type: rwd
Model: Fairlane
Mileage: 0
Trim: 500
Up for sale is my 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 Sports Coupe.
I picked up this car a long time ago with plans to fix it up as a sleeper.
Unfortunately plans have changed and I have decided to sell it in hopes that someone out
there will have the motivation and appreciation to put this classic back together and enjoy it.
This Fairlane originally came with a 260 V8 and a 2 speed auto transmission.
It now has a early to mid 70's 302 V8 with a C4 auto.
The rear end is the stock 8 inch housing with a 3.55 locker differential. Car originally came with 3.00 open gears.
As far as history of the car goes, I only know of roughly the last 15-20 years! other then that I do not know much after that.
This car does run and drive. This car has a lot of juice when you lay into it and is pretty fast for what it is.
The engine runs fairly good, the carb could use a fine tuning.
The transmission shifts through all the gears fine but does leak fluid.
The brakes need work. Master cylinder is about toast, the car has drum brakes all around.
The mileage on the car is either 65k or 165k not sure, but assuming 165k. The drive train mileage is unknown.
In the past a Malory pointsless distributor and ignition system was installed along with a mild cam.
The Holley carb, edelbrock intake, and headers along with the rest of the exhaust was installed in the past as well.
All electrical works except the windshield wipers have stopped working.
The only things I have done to the car
Full tune up and changed all fluids (engine, trans, and rear end).
Overhauled the carburator.
Replaced the fuel pump.
Put on new rear air shocks.
Picked up a nice straight rear bumper that just needs to be rechromed.
As far as the body goes, I have not done one thing to it other than clean it up.
Things that are missing.
The door panels,
Rear hat tray.
Driver side window regulator,
Most of the lower console trim,
Trunk lock,
Unfortunately the rear window is missing.
Other than said items, it is all there.
This car is in decent shape for being 49 years old. It does have dings, rust ect.
It does have some rust in the floor boards but it is not too bad. They can be easily repaired.
Trunk pan has surface rust, no rot. Passenger fender has rust bubbling on the lower half.
Rear quarter panels do not have rot but the driver side has some slight bubbles starting.
Passenger side quarter panel has a little bit of filler like some one in the past did a repair on some dents.
Passenger fender was replaced sometime in the past, probably from past damage!
Some filler on the passenger side corner of the hood. Battery tray has rust of course.
Rest of the car looks and appears solid.
The trim and emblems are all there. Driver side fender "fairlane 500" emblem is missing a 0.
The paint is a cheap paint job done in the past (actually have the receipt)
The rims are rusty and the two front tires are shot. The rear tires are decent with a lot of tread but they are old.
This car is all around a decent car that is in need of some TLC.
Even though this car does run and drive, I am selling it as a project NOT a daily driver or pristine show car.
This car is a great starting platform for building back to original, thunderbolt clone, street rod, ect. the choice is yours.
The registration is years expired.
I DO hold a clean title in hand for this car.
This car is being sold AS-IS
I have tried to describe this car as accurately to the best of my knowledge.

Former Ford CEO Mulally won't run for president
Mon, 15 Sep 2014Alan Mulally will not be following his successful term as president and CEO of Ford Motor Company with a run at an even bigger presidency. Rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would make a run at the White House sprouted after his apparent dodging of a reporter's questions about a potential candidacy during a forum in Indianapolis.
"I really think it's important that we all pull together. We really need to pull together around a compelling vision for our country and a comprehensive strategy to do it and work together. We really need to do it," Mulally said at the conference, according to The Detroit News.
He's since clarified by saying, "[I'm] honored at the suggestion, but that is not a role I am considering."
2015 Ford Transit
Wed, 11 Jun 2014As a segment, fullsize vans are stealth-fighter invisible on most consumers' radar. Visit a dealership for any of the four brands that offer them and you'll be lucky to find even one on display. These are commercial vehicles primarily, even more so than pickup trucks. Vans are the shuttles for plumbers, caterers, carpenters, concrete layers, masons, electricians, florists and flooring, and a huge part of this country's productivity is accomplished using them. At the moment, Ford is the 800-pound gorilla in that room - fully 41 percent of commercial vehicles wear a Blue Oval. So when Ford announced three years ago it would be ditching its commercial bread-and-butter E-Series, it meant the Transit that would be replacing the Econoline had huge, 53-year-old shoes to fill.
We were still a bit nostalgic about Econoline vans going away until going directly from the Transit first drive in Kansas City to an E-350 airport shuttle. Climb up through the Econoline's tiny double doors and bang your head on the opening, crouch all the way to your seat then enjoy a loud, rattle-prone, creaky, harsh ride on beam-hard seats while struggling to see out the low windows. This is an experience nearly every traveler has had. By comparison, the Transits we'd just spent two days with were every bit of the four decades better they needed to be. It cannot be understated just how much better the Transit is in every single way. The load floor is barely more than knee high. There's a huge side door, and hitting your head on a door opening is nearly impossible. Stand up all the way if you're under six-foot, six-inches - no more half-hunching down the aisle. There are windows actually designed to be looked out of. The ride is buttery smooth, no booming vibration from un-restrained metal panels and no squeaks. Conversations can be held at normal levels rather than yelling over the roar of an ancient V8. The seats are comfortable. The AC is cold. There are cupholders.
Enough anecdote-laying, what's in a Transit? We're talking about a very fullsized unibody van that's enjoyed a 49-year history in Ye Olde Europe. This latest iteration is part of the "One Ford" initiative, so it was designed as a global offering from the get-go, eschewing the body-on-frame construction the E-Series has used since 1975. Instead, the Transit integrates a rigid ladder frame into an overall frame construction made of high-strength cold-rolled and boron steel. The suspension is a simple but well-tuned Macpherson strut array up front with a rear solid axle and leaf springs.
Ford starting up 2.0L EcoBoost engine production in Ohio
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of The Americas (pictured above), announced today that in late 2014, the automaker will be building the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder at its Cleveland Engine Plant, a move requiring a $200-million investment and the hiring of 450 new employees. European-built Ford products will continue to source this engine from the Valencia, Spain plant where all of these EcoBoost four-cylinder engines are currently built, and the new Cleveland engines will be used for all North American-made models.
Ford is planning to build its popular EcoBoost engines regionally to maximize production capacity and meet customer demand. Last year, Ford sold 334,364 vehicles with EcoBoost engines in the US alone, and that number is expected to swell to more than 500,000 by the end of this year, with global sales expected to total 1.6 million. By 2015, Ford says that 95 percent of its nameplates will offer an EcoBoost engine.
One such vehicle that could be adding an EcoBoost engine, according to Automotive News, is none other than the 2015 Ford Mustang. The report says that Ford could use either the 2.0-liter EcoBoost or an upcoming 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the sixth-generation pony car.
