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! Have NC title in hand. NO RESERVE!!! Highest bidder wins it!...so bid to win! And PLEASE read and more importantly UNDERSTAND my payment terms!!!!! If you bid please have the funds together to pay!!!! Ask questions BEFORE you bid if you have any.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype sells for $7M
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Seven-figure Ferraris are not horribly rare. Heck, an eight-figure Ferrari isn't a rare occurrence. Between modern masterpieces like the Enzo and more classic offerings, cracking the million-dollar mark isn't a particularly tall order for the cars from Maranello. For a Ford, though, it's a big deal.
Now, this is not just some rare Mustang. This is a GT40, the car that Henry Ford II commissioned to whip Enzo Ferrari around a track in France. As far as the Le Mans-winning racers go, they don't get much rarer than this one. Sold at the Mecum Auctions in Houston, this is one of the prototypes, meaning it's one of the very first GT40s ever built. That makes its $7 million winning a bid, a record for on-air coverage of the auction, a pretty darn impressive figure.
You can watch the auction below, but first, take a look back at our original story on this rare Blue Oval.
NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
