This is a 1968 Pro-Touring Ford Fairlane 500 2dr hardtop. The car has been lowered 3" in the front and 2" in the rear. Has a fresh rebuild on the 5.0L 302cid -V8, new brakes including drums, brake cylinders, metal and rubber lines, brake shoes, master cylinder, etc. Car has new radiator and battery, 4 new shocks and the fuel tank was replaced several years ago. It’s got new Flow Master dual exhaust, the interior has been completely refurbished including both front and rear seats, floor carpet, deck panel, headliner, dash pad, steering wheel, etc.

The Fairlane 500 starts with just a tap of the key and sounds great as well as runs and drives nice. Paint is about 5 years old and still looks great although it’s not perfect and the body is very solid with no signs of rust. All the lights work including hi/low beams, marker lights tail and brake lights, even license plate light, but no radio and no wipers. The 4-way flashers work fine but the turn signal switch needs the "cam" replaced (I have a new one that will go with the car). Also, the car will need some new weather stripping at some point.

The car is sitting on a new set of staggered wheels that are 18" on the front and 20" on the rear and all tires have about 80% tread remaining. The Fairlane 500 is a nice clean solid driver that turns a lot of heads and gets thumbs up everywhere it’s driven. It is a true classic muscle car! Please look at all the photos provided as the pictures are worth a thousand words, what you see is what you are buying! Also, please ask any questions that you have BEFORE the auction has ended as this is a classic car with no warranties and is being sold “as is” and “where is”. Clean and clear title in hand but please note, the car is being listed locally as well so I will end auction early if has been sold.

I am happy to assist winning bidder with making shipping arrangements and I can store the car for a week or two as long as it’s been paid for. I require a $500.00 deposit through PayPal within 24 hours from auctions end and the balance to be paid in no more than 7 days from auction end in cash, or direct wire transfer only. Please contact me BEFORE you bid if you have a feedback score of five (5) or less. Thanks for looking and good luck if you choose to bid.

Ford to auction Mustang Cobra Jet prototype for charity [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Prototypes developed by major automakers typically remain in said company's custody, but every once in a while, one trickles out into private hands. And that's just what we have here. Ford is donating a one-of-a-kind factory prototype for the 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet that will be auctioned off later this month by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 mated to a T4 competition gearbox, this rare Cobra Jet prototype includes a wheelie bar, chromoly roll cage, Weld wheels, three-link rear suspension, racing brakes, 9-inch rear axle and more. It's painted in a unique satin orange with reflective gray striping scheme, bears the serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1 and is fully ready for NHRA competition on the drag strip.
To be offered with no reserve on Saturday, September 28, 2013, the Cobra Jet prototype's winning bidder will also receive tutelage at Roy Hill's Drag Racing School in Sophia, NC, along with tours of the Ford Product Development Center, Ford Racing headquarters and Ford Design Studios with Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Scope out the video and details below for what could be the ultimate Mustang experience for a good cause.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
