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.

2014 Ford Fusion order guide reveals new base Hybrid model, equipment changes

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

We've gotten our grubby little digits on the dealer order guide for the as-yet-unreleased 2014 Ford Fusion thanks to an anonymous tipster, and while there isn't much that's unexpected, there are some meaningful equipment changes to report after the rakish sedan's first year on the market.
Mechanically, the big news is, of course, the recently confirmed availability of the 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. The powertrain replaces the 1.6-liter automatic setup of 2013, though if you want a manual transmission, you'll still get the extra .1-liter of displacement.
On the equipment front, there are newly available rear inflatable seatbelts - as seen previously on the Explorer - along with a new heated steering wheel and cooled seat option on Titanium and Titanium Hybrid models (the latter two options will be late availability).

Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.

Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines

Sat, 23 Feb 2013

It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.
