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 could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.

Ford's simple suit makes you feel like a drunk driver

Tue, Mar 25 2014

We've all heard about the dangers of drunk driving for practically our entire lives. Whether it's from PSAs on TV or lectures in school, no one can claim ignorance of drunk driving being extremely dangerous. However, that doesn't prevent some people from still doing it. Ford is trying to take the safety message directly to young drivers with a special suit that allows them to simulate driving under the influence. It is all part of Ford's Driving Skills for Life program that gives free driving education to young people. The program is meant to "train kids in skills they don't learn in driver's ed," said Kelli Felker, Ford Safety Communications Manager, to Autoblog. The drivers don a few items to impair their senses and make them off-balance to simulate having a few too many drinks and then go out on a closed course with an instructor to see the effects. Felker said that the suit is a new part of the program, and Ford just received the outfit in the US. It will be incorporated into the training here in the late spring or early summer. Scroll down to see the effect it has on drivers in Europe. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
