1965 Ford Fairlane 500 4.7l...less Than 37k Original Miles..3rd Owner...survivor on 2040-cars
Lexington, Kentucky, United States
|
The car was purchased new in Springfield KY and spent over 40 years being immaculately cared for by the original owner. Unfortunately at the time of her passing the car was parked outside and abandoned for several years where the cosmetic problems began to develop. The problems with this car are completely cosmetic, mechanically it is in incredible working condition. We have replaced the gas tank, 4 tires, exhaust, complete tune up (including hoses and filters), clutch return spring, trunk rubber and will include additional rubber for the doors. The drums have also been inspected by our mechanic and are in excellent working order. The car runs, drives, stops, steers, shifts and does all that it should; the horn and blinkers are even in order. As mentioned in condition the rear panels are going to need a patch and the trunk does show rust though the metal is still solid. Again, both of these problems are issues of neglect. The frame on the car IS SOLID and shows no signs of collision. The car has less than 40K original miles as this is also stated on the current title which is clear. This car could be a daily driver currently and holds great potential for a complete restoration. It is located just outside Lexington, KY and we STRONGLY recommend inspecting/driving the car in person if at all possible. Please e-mail to make arrangements and please inspect the vehicle prior to bidding. We are more than happy to answer any questions so please do not hesitate to ask. Please also keep in mind the car is 49 years old, we have described its condition as accurately as possible commiserate with our ability. In the event of a winning bid, Cash in person or certified check must be received no later than 7 days after the end of auction. We welcome pick up of the car or will work with a shipper of your choosing to the best of our ability. Thank you very much for viewing and again, please do not hesitate to contact. PS The motor is black because my father rattle can painted the motor with an appropriate high heat paint. IF you would like a 70 year old white male uncomfortable with retirement my father will also be included with the car. |

Ford Fiesta ST customs get wild at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The massive 57-car SEMA showcase by Ford ranges from obvious aftermarket-friendly models like the Mustang, to the not so obvious ones, like the Transit Connect and cute-as-an-explosive-button Fiesta ST. Ford plucked several Fiesta STs for SEMA duty, and we were on the show floor today to get a closer look at some of them.
First up is the striking COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST (above) finished in a black-and-gray digital camouflage, much like that used in the military, and is meant to raise awareness for the Pat Tillman Foundation. COBB also fitted a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake. A new shift knob, carbon-fiber hood and a Kicker stereo round out the mix of upgrades.
MRT got its hands on a Fiesta ST and created a car inspired by Forza Motorsport 5 (below, left). Featuring a two-tone paint job and more performance upgrades than you can shake a stick at, this Fiesta ST is one of the cooler compacts at Ford's stand. A high-performance exhaust system, along with a complimentary COBB induction system, allows the ST to breathe better, while an H&R coil over suspension and Steeda brakes help it stop and turn better than stock.
This 1969 Ford F-100 has a Cadillac CTS-V engine lurking underhood
Fri, Jan 30 2015Something always feels just a little taboo when someone builds a custom and then slots in a powertrain from a rival automaker. That's exactly the case with this modded 1969 Ford F-100 boasting a highly tuned LSA supercharged V8 like from the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V. However, with a claimed 800 horsepower on tap thanks in part to running an estimated 20 pounds of boost, it's easy to get over any bad feelings. Built by Tommy Pike Customs in South Carolina, the truck tries to keep the exterior looking somewhat stock. Although, the jade green and satin gold paint, Quaker State logo, lowered suspension and black wheels immediately suggest something is up. Once the F-100 starts up with its menacing growl, absolutely any doubts of this beast being unaltered are immediately gone. Not so obvious are some tweaks to actually help put all that power down, including disc brakes and independent suspension setups at the front and rear. The video gives some glimpses at a few of Pike's other creations, but the real star here is definitely his mean, green Ford.
Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
