1968 Ford Fairlane Base 4.7l 2 Door Coupe on 2040-cars
Southington, Connecticut, United States
|
Selling my 1968 Ford Fairlane. The vehicle was always stored inside, but at one time it was stored with the trunk exposed(Paint fading in trunk lid and trunk drops and lower quarter panels have rust). The Fairlane is all original other than the Driver's side front fender, which was replaced by a rust free original Fairlane fender. The car currently has a 1991 351w from an f-150. The engine has a 4 barrel Elderbock intake but it's set up with a block plate to run a 2 barrel carb, it has a new timing chain, water pump,, thermostat and hoses. I have the original engine to the car, but it's disassembled. The original C-4 transmission works fine and the original 8 inch rear end also. The car has working drum brakes(Non powered). The interior is in mint shape, original dash and seat covers without wear and tears. Rear deck cover is also in one section and no speaker cut offs. All original glass in great working condition. Doors are rust free as the hood, trunk, fenders. The vinyl top is nearly perfect. The underneath of the car is rust free other than a small 2 inch area in the rear drivers seat corner. Front and rear frame rails look amazing as the radiator support and front frame rails. Torque boxes are solid. Car has power steering and tires are ok. The front suspension is also solid. The trunk has the original tank and the original jack. Trim is in descent condition but I am missing the driver's side fender nose trim. I have one original CT title dated 1978 and numerous receipts. I have a fair reserve and selling the car locally so I have the option to end the auction early. The pictures speak for themselves and have many more available if need be. Email me with your cell or e-mail if you want to see something specific. Good luck and thank you for bidding. Ruben.

Ford profiles surprisingly affluent Focus ST buyers
Fri, 08 Nov 2013It comes as no surprise when Ford says that 32-percent of Focus ST buyers are under 35, but we weren't expecting this: the average annual salary of Focus ST buyers is $127,000. Twenty-two percent of non-ST Focus buyers are under 35, while their average annual salary is $67,000.
We like the Focus ST because it has 252 horsepower, is genuinely fun to drive and offers great value for performance-minded car enthusiasts; facts that are not lost on customers, it seems. Ford says that the Focus ST has the highest percentage of conquest sales for a non-hybrid model it sells, and that the top-four trade-ins are from Honda, Chevrolet, Mazda and Toyota. Demand for the hot Focus is strongest in Los Angeles, Detroit, Houston and Orlando.
"[The Focus ST is] having this kind of halo effect for other vehicles we'd hoped for when we invested in the ST brand," says John Felice, vice president of US marketing, sales and service, because it's helping to boost sales of other Ford vehicles.
Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.
GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings
Thu, 31 Jul 2014The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.
