1969 Ford Fairlane Fastback Solid unmolested barn find. Car is 99% all there. 289 2bbl. Automatic Car starts great...runs, moves , steers and stops. Transmission seems to go into gear firmly. Little smoke at first start up. Probably could stand tune up, fresh fuel, and oil change. interior is all there...rip in drivers bottom cushion...tear in top of rear seat...headliner seem is coming apart...kick panels are missing...carpet torn by drivers seat.... Sheet metal is very good on car as far as rust issues...needs small patch on both rear quarters behind rear tires...dings and dents here and there...biggest being in right front fender and left rear quarter...all are repairable... Bumpers are straight but are pitted. I have 5 out of the 6 body side moldings, but most of the plastic clips that hold them on are missing. All the glass looks pretty good. The tires have decent tread but, don't know how old they are...so I wouldn't drive it far..., but they hold air and will load ok on any transport. Torque Boxes and frame rails are solid...as are the inner fenders....shock towers...trunk pan...and rockers...there is a small hole in the floorpan right under drivers foot...about 2" around....rest of floor pan as solid. Had a new gas tank put in about 3 years ago according to paperwork. Had a new intermediate pipe on the exhaust installed about same time. This car needs to be restored, but is a very solid start!

Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.
Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]
Sun, 08 Dec 2013The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.
Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects
Thu, 16 May 2013Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
