Up for auction is a barn fresh 1966 Fairlane XL500 convertible (bucket seats with a console) with 35,000 original miles. Vehicle was sanded down, primed and then stored in 1976. It is a rare optioned XL500 convertible with a 6 cylinder engine. I've collected alot of fairlanes over the years and I don't believe I have ever seen one optioned like this. Ofcourse back then you could order one anyway you wanted. Vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, power steering, power convertible top, am radio, bucket seats, console, and deluxe wheel covers. The original color is code Z sauterne gold which appears to be more of a very lite metallic green with black interior. The vehicle does has surface rust coming through the primer but don't let that fool you this car is extremely solid throughout. The only rot on the car is a small area of the floor under the driver seat, the rest of the undercarriage, rockers, trunk pan, body mounts, doors, quarter panels in and out are in exceptional condition as the car has always been stored inside. Just before my father purchased it the previous owner just replaced the wheel cylinders, brakes, drums and gave it a tune up. It runs and drives extremely well. It doesn't smoke or leak any fluids and it shifts flawlessly. I 've used it around town and it drives great. All the lights, directionals, gauges and power top operate properly. The original body panels are rust free and extremely straight. The driver quarter has a slight dent. The original interior is in very good condition, the only tare is in one of the seams in the driver seat. The dash pad is cracked around the speaker. The top has tares and rips and needs to be replaced. This is a very nice Fairlane to restore or drive and fix it up as you go. This is a 100% original low mileage car that hasn't been altered and or molested. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Wayne at (973)332-1074.

Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms
Mon, 17 Jun 2013Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany
Sat, 29 Jun 2013Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.
