Up for auction today is a beautiful original 1967
Ford Fairlane 500 2 door Hardtop. I have
owned this car for a couple of years and it’s time to thin out my fleet (have
10 cars right now and I think the wife is going to divorce me soon if I don’t
sell a few lol) so this car is going up for sale. It took me years to find this car and I will
miss it since I think it’s the best body style ever for the Fairlane.
Like I said I purchased the car a couple years ago
out of Texas (I refuse to buy any cars from the north rust belt) and fell in
love because it was an original car that has never been tinkered with. I have the original sales receipt for the
car, owner’s manual, Ownercard and several receipts for service done over the
years.
The car was purchased new from Anderson Ford in
Kingsport Tennessee on July 7, 1967 by Mr. Ralph Churchwell. The car cost Mr. Churchwell $3030.30 and
included optional 289 V8, Vinyl Trim, Select Shift Automatic Transmission,
735X14 White Sidewall tires, Power Steering, AM Radio and Full Wheel Covers. Mr. Churchwell lived in Tennessee for many
years and then moved to Texas (where I purchased the car) so the car has always
been a southern car until I purchased it.
Since I purchased the car it has always been garaged and I think I have
only driven it about 500 miles over the past few years.
The car is in very good condition and although it
will not earn you first place at the Concours d’Elegance it will turn heads as
you drive down the road and at local cruise nights. I have received countless compliments on this
car and many people can’t believe the condition of the underside of the car
since these were so prone to rust. This
car is an original numbers matching car that has not been butchered like most
of these old Fairlanes.
The body is in good shape and this car is laser straight
down the sides. I have seen many cars
that claim to be straight and look like oceans with all the work they have had
done to them. This again is laser
straight and from what I was told the car was repainted in the 80’s due to the
old paint fading out. Car was painted
the same color, Wimbledon White, and today the paint still looks good and has a
healthy shine to it. Back after the car
was repainted it was hit in the right rear quarter panel and the entire quarter
panel was replaced. The rear seam where
the quarter meets the rocker panel must not have been treated properly and
began to rust causing the bondo to bubble up.
The steel is rock solid but the evidence of the damage is there, not
horrible but noticeable (see photo included).
The area around the rear window also has a couple of small bubbles
evident again from I think was a proper prep job and the paint does have some
minor checking on the right rear quarter from too much liquor possibly when the
paint was mixed. Don’t get me wrong this
car is a true survivor and looks great but I want you to realize it does have
deficiencies. Both driver and passenger
doors have some small rust bubbles at the corners of the doors and the driver
side floor has a small amount of rust making it week (I removed the
undercoating so you could see it better and again see photos). The rest of this car is absolutely rust free
and amazing for being a survivor. Top of
the inner fenders (has the stamp marks on the fender aprons and radiator
support still) fender aprons, torque boxes, cross members etc. are all in
perfect rust free condition.
The interior is in good condition with some wear on
the driver seat and the top of the rear seat has started to break down (see
photos). The dash is in good shape and
the dash pad along with the door panels are in good condition.
The car runs nice, smooth and quiet and does not
leak any oil. The transmission works
well and if the car sits for a couple of weeks will leave a few drops of fluid
on the ground. If the car is cold and
has been sitting awhile it will take about three to five seconds to engage in
drive and after that she is good to go, if you drive it every couple of days or
weekly it does not do this. The A-arm
bushings are worn and should be replaced, I purchased new A-arms complete with
bushings and ball joints etc. last year but just have not had the time to
install them. The last thing I can think
of is the shifter linkage is a bit loose for some reason and it makes the
shifter sloppy. I just use the emergency
brake when I park the car to be on the safe side in case it was to disengage
from park. I have never had the car
change gears or anything like that while driving but you should know that it
does have some play in it.
The car had an aftermarket A/C system in it and I
will include it with the sale of the car.
It has the compressor, underdash unit etc. and looks complete but I
never installed it. Like I said if you
win the auction I will place it in the trunk for you along with the new A-arms
and whatever other parts I may have collected over the years for it.
Well I really can’t think of anything else to
mention about the car but I am sure I forgot something so feel free to email me
your questions and I will respond as quick as I can. Remember that this car is
almost 47 years old and not a new car, the car will be sold in AS-IS condition
with no warranty either expressed or implied.
I encourage anyone to come out and view the car and if you wish to have
someone look it over on your behalf I am more than happy to accommodate. This car was previously sold to a bidder in Australia who backed out of the deal due to sudden medical problems with his son. Just a FYI in case you were wondering.......

If you say a car – the Ford C-Max Hybrid, for example – is "fun to drive," can anyone really come up with some empirical evidence against your claim? What about calling it "versatile"? We wonder if Ford has been thinking along these lines when it talks about the green little hatch. Ford is refocusing its sales strategy for the C-Max Hybrid after the model took a sales hit on both sides of the Atlantic recently, Automotive News reports. That sales dropoff may stem from the fact that Ford has had to revise its fuel-economy figures downward for the C-Max twice since last year, most recently in June. That made the company's once-proud fuel-economy comparisons with the Toyota Prius kind of pointless. Ford is going a different route, calling the model versatile (which, to be fair it was also doing a year ago), technologically advanced and fun to drive. Since the C-Max has about 50 more horsepower than the Prius, that last part may be true. Ford representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the mpg-mention-free advertising direction, but we will update this post if we hear back. Sales of the C-Max Hybrid have suffered in the US. Through September, Ford sold 15,245 C-Max Hybrids, down 36 percent from last year. We shall see if a new focus away from the car's lowered mpg numbers helps. At least Ford can be pleased with sales of the C-Max Energi Plug-in Hybrid, which are up 51 percent compared to 2013.

Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively.
