Clean Idaho title. This Fairlane runs and drives nicely. Not currently licensed. Car has power steering with rebuilt control valve. This Fairlane was recently refurbished. Not a total restoration but I will list what was done to my knowledge.
ENGINE- 289, std bore from an 80K 1966 donor car was rebuilt professionally with a 292 cam, Edlebrock Performer intake, rebuilt Holley 450 4 barrel carb. All new rod, cam, and main bearings, new flat top pistons, new oil pump and shaft, new plugs etc. Zinc additive added to initial oil change. New exhaust and mufflers. C-4, checked out by mechanic as great, filter and fluid changed. BODY- Entire body was dismantled and blasted, primed with 2K primer. The drivers floor pan and lower rear quarters were the only rusted areas and were replaced. All window tracks were removed, cleaned and re-lubed. Refurbished grill assembly. All turn signal and tail lights were cleaned and re-assembled. Car was mostly shaved and electric door poppers installed. A black basecoat/clearcoat system from NAPA was used to spray the car. INTERIOR-New headliner, rear package tray, carpet and pad, door panels, interior quarter panels, arm rest pads, new dash pad cover, new upholstery on front and rear seats. Front seats are 66 Mustang units. New seat belts up front. trunk divider panel, dome light, ignition switch, glove box liner, refurbished wiring where necessary. Aftermarket hump-hugger console. Heater works. Carpeted trunk. Dash instruments and interior paint refurbished, misc. stuff repaired. WEATHERSTRIPPING-new windshield seal, new rear window rubber seal, new beltline fuzzies on doors and quarter windows, door seals, roof rail weatherstrip, cowl to hood seal, radiator to hood seal, trunk seal, headlight seals, door and hood rubber bumpers etc. New wipers. GLASS- all glass is in very good condition, each piece was removed and resealed where necessary. Old school ET mags with good radial tires. Spare tire and all jack hardware, New shocks up front, air shocks in the rear. Replaced gas tank with a known good clean unit. BRAKES- new or rebuilt master cylinder and all wheel cylinders. New brake pads, re-lubed wheel bearings. New idler arm. Car does need front and rear bumpers re-chromed. They are very straight and will need only normal prep. Paint and body are not flawless, some minor dings and a fair amount of swirl marks in clear coat. Looks great at 5 feet but is not a "new car" finish. This car was bought as an unfinished project and then completed so I have only listed what I actually know about it. Speedometer reads 5400 so it has turned over, don't know if that is original unit or not. All said, this is a pretty straight car that is fun to drive and has hard all the hard work done. Has two 100 watt speakers in back but needs a stereo. Feel free to call- 208-888-4543 for questions. |

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
Radical RXC is a Mustang-hearted racecar for the road
Fri, May 30 2014Radical has been building fantastic open-cockpit racers and roadcars for years, for the track day enthusiast who wants a vehicle that looks like it could show up for a start at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The company's latest creation is the RXC, and while this coupe looks like a prototype racer, it's road legal in the UK and in some parts of the US. When testing a car this, um, radical, the first thought is likely to get it to the track for some big slides and wide open acceleration, but XCar Films takes the opposite approach in its latest video to learn how this racer fares on public roads. The version tested here is the standard RXC with the 3.7-liter V6 out of the Ford Mustang tuned to 350 horsepower with a seven-speed sequential gearbox; but Radical also offers the same engine with 380-hp, a 454-hp Ford EcoBoost 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, or even a 500-hp V8. Even in the most basic guise, it's a handful to control in the wet, if this video is any indication. The cliche of a road-legal racecar is bandied around a lot in the motoring world, but it truly applies to the RXC. The only problem with seeing the RXC exclusively on the road is that it can never really open up and show its full potential. This racer is indeed chomping at the bit to rocket off into the horizon, but all those pesky road safety laws hold it back. Still, the video is a chance to get a better impression about this thoroughbred sports car. Scroll down to check it out. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86
Wed, 26 Jun 2013On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.
