1966 Ford Fairlane 500 2 Door Coupe on 2040-cars
Branson, Missouri, United States
|
Offered for sale is a fine example of the 1966 Ford Fairlane 500. A growingly popular mid size muscle car among the Ford contingent, the sleek swept lines of the Fairlane have been sought after for many years and the added benefit of more passenger space, a larger trunk and better handling than the Pony car Mustang brethren make it a smart choice for today's buyer.
This particular example has been well restored, cared for and presents itself extremely well. Upgraded Power Front disc brakes, Power Steering, a mildly performance built 289cu in V8 with 4 bbl carburetor, performance camshaft, block hugger headers and a Flowmaster equipped dual exhaust REALLY wake this car up and give it the performance to match it's good looks. Very glossy Wimbledon White paint and complimenting Night Mist Blue stripes are sealed in a Base Coat/Clear Coat modern paint that will stay glossy looking and low maintenance for years to come. Riding on 15" Retro American Racing Torque Thrust wheels with the polished outer rim and Nexen 205/55R/15 performance radials make this car a dream to drive on either the straight stretches or the curvy backroads. The completely rebuilt front suspension, coupled with boxed subframe connectors tie the car together for just such an instance. The sheetmetal appears to be all original and is rust free. The paint has been professionally applied. Interior has been upgraded in material and features a nice stripe matching medium blue cloth throughout and 5 seatbelt locations provide the needed safety factor to bring friends and family along for the ride. Underneath of the car is solid, original but well detailed and the factory torque boxes are in factory condition. The professionally built C4 automatic transmission features 3 speeds and shifts crisply and cleanly every time. As a matter of condition, this car still retains its original Owners Manual and Original Ownership information and was sold new in Republic, MO on 4/28/1966. Seems to not have traveled far outside its home in over 40 years. (See pics for details) As mentioned, the Ford Fairlane is growing in popularity as all of the Mustangs get sucked up and the prices go through the roof. This is a lot of car....for not a lot of money....you should buy it! Call Tom or Jim at 417-335-2600 for more details. |

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile
Wed, 27 Mar 2013We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.
