1965 Ford Fairlane 500 2door Hard Top on 2040-cars
Nixa, Missouri, United States
I Have a 1965 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door Hard top . The car is a "C" code 289 with 3 speed manual transmission on the colume. The car is fairly solid over all and runs like a top.I drove the car around the block and its a nice old car. The outside of the car is Black but is very dull and does need paint,the car was White from the factory. It looks good from 20ft and has a nice shine when wet so could be drove like it is of course.The car has a couple bubble spots of rust poping up but very solid for the most part. Both front floor pans have some rust.The driver side has had a piece of tin put down but you would want to cut it out and install a pan if you was restoring the car. The rear pans look good. The trunk pan has some pin holes and scaley rust on it when looking at the top side. Hard to see much of the bottom for the gas tank.The frame rails are nice and solid. Over all for a 1965 I think its in great shape. I do have a bunch of trim from the car. Some is good and some is bad so depends on the look you are going for if you need the trim. The inside of the car shows some age. Needs seats and carpet redone along with headliner. Is blue and white inside. The engine purrs like a kitten. Has had a Edelbrock 4 barrel intake and carb installed.Carries good oil pressure and does not over heat.The trans pulls and shifts good. The brakes are good and does not pull to one side or the other. I have been running off a gas can under the hood just because I didnt know what kind of shape the gas was in that is in the tank. Needs new ignition installed but does come with car. I jumped the selonoide and ran a hot wire to the coil. Installed new points and condensor. With just a little time and money spent ono the car you can be driving it as much as you want. I can get these things done for the purchaser at a extra cost if you do not want to do them yourself. Tires are like new. The car came out of Georgia so it has a Bill of Sale of course as they do not title old cars. I will try to send that paper work in here in Mo. this week as I have everything already to get the title thru Mo. It takes about 7 to 10 days normally. So as the car stands right now has a Billof sale out of Georgia with it but if I get that sent in this week I will update the listing letting everyone know that I have done that.

Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
2015 Ford Focus gets more Aston-y [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014With more and more members of the Ford brand adopting a new familial face, the Focus has been left looking like an odd man out. At the Geneva Auto Show, though, it properly rejoined the family, adopting the now familiar Aston Martin-ish grille that's proliferated throughout the range.
Overall, we're liking the refreshed Focus' look. Aside from the new grille, the headlights have been restyled and now look like elongated versions of the lamps on the Focus ST. Functionally, those headlamps are bi-xenon units, complete with an adaptive front lighting system. Out back, the rear retains the same overall look, which has been smoothed out for 2015.
In the cabin, the second-generation of Ford's much-maligned Sync system makes its debut. Sync 2, as it's called, is supposedly more intuitive than the first-gen system. Ford is promising "one-shot" navigation functions for the system. Saying "I'm hungry," should bring up a list of nearby restaurants. Of course, we'll be reserving final judgment until we can test the new system in person.
Recharge Wrap-up: Atieva making EV with former Tesla talent, Holland lowers PHEV incentives
Wed, May 13 2015A reduction of tax incentives on company cars in Holland is expected to put the brakes on plug-in hybrid sales. Cars are taxed at an average of 25 percent, with plug-in hybrids taxed at just seven or 14 percent, depending on emissions. Taxes on PHEV company cars will increase to 14 and 21 percent. With company car leases making up a third of vehicle sales in 2014, the uptake on PHEVs "will likely go back to regular volumes," according to Volvo's Christiaan Krouwel. It could be a boon for battery electric cars, as their tax rate will remain at four percent for company cars. Read more at Automotive News Europe. Ford is testing cylinder deactivation in its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine. On-road prototype testing has shown improvements in fuel economy of as much as six percent. Ford engineers developed a system using a new dual mass flywheel, pendulum absorber, and tuned clutch disc to allow cylinder deactivation under a wider range of speed and engine loads with less NVH. "The highest priority in the development of new combustion engines for automotive applications is the ongoing reduction of fuel consumption," says Ford's Andreas Schamel, presenting Ford's findings to the Vienna Motor Symposium. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release from Ford. Atieva is building an EV with the help of numerous former Tesla employees. The Silicon Valley-based startup was founded in 2007 by a former Tesla vice president, and its roster includes 12 other former Tesla employees. Already well funded, Atieva is now looking to fill its ranks with more talent, with 32 engineering positions, two recruiter positions and other job openings posted at its website. As for the EV it is working on, Atieva says it is "redefining what a car can be, by building an iconic new vehicle from the ground up." Read more at Charged EVs. Testing shows that Joule ethanol, made from recycled CO2, meets standards for use in the US and Europe. In partnership with Audi, Joule has been working toward making its recycled CO2 fuels ready for commercialization. "We are pleased to achieve another critical step towards our planned near-term delivery of fuel-grade ethanol from recycled CO2," says Joule President and CEO Serge Tchuruk. "Using waste CO2 as a feedstock, our technology has the two-fold advantage of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and producing cost-competitive, drop-in fuels." Joule will use these test results to get government approval for the use of its ethanol in highway fuel.
