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.

Ford Fiesta ST orders off to strong start

Fri, 17 May 2013

We at Autoblog love the new little Ford Fiesta ST, and apparently, folks in Europe are pretty impressed with it, as well. According to Ford, the automaker's European arm has already logged 3,000 orders for the new hot hatch since it hit dealerships this March. The US-spec car, which will only be available as a five-door, will go on sale in the United States this summer.
What's perhaps most interesting about the Fiesta ST ordering is that the majority of customers appear to be ordering high-spec cars. According to Ford data, 60 percent of customers have opted for the leather interior with Recaro buckets, and 90 percent have selected the upgraded 17-inch wheels (seen on our test car, above). Spirit Blue has been the most popular color, commanding 27 percent of all orders. As for the technology upgrades, 19 percent of customers have ponied up for the Sony stereo with navigation.
To recap, the Fiesta ST is offered with Ford's 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, putting out 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. We had an absolute blast flinging the hot Fiesta through the French Alps, and we can't wait for this sharp little hatch to make its way over to the States.

Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.

'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you

Fri, 03 May 2013

The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
