1980 Ford Fairmont Futura 4 Speed 4 Cyl. 2.3 L Sweet Car Plaid Interior Unusual on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States
|
Up for auction today I have this sweet Ford Fairmont Futura. This is a very cool alternative to the Mustang. This car has a very economical 2.3l 4 cyl with a 4 speed manual transmission. This is a very solid car. I love the plaid interior. I bought this car to do a restoration on to match up with my 1980 Monte Carlo, but that project has turned into a full body off restoration and I will not be getting to this one any time soon. Because of this I have decided to sell it rather than let it sit in my driveway. This car has manual brakes and steering. I was surprised to find so may things that you can do to this engine. Speedway has tons of parts for this engine set up. Most people put in a 5.0 but I think it would be cooler to run the original 4 cyl. The driver side bucket has a few spots in the red vinyl that have split and there is one little hole in the back seat that I saw. Should be easily repaired by an upholstery shop. The dash has a hole where the speaker mounts and the headliner is gone. The body has a little surface rust mostly behind the rear tires but it will clean up. The previous owner lived on gravel and it was from rock chips in the paint. The front fender has a spot where it looks like it got dinged and the pain chipped. See the pictures. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. I have not drove this car much and would recommend trailering it if it is going a long distance. It runs good, but like I said I bought it to restore it and haven't drove it. I would like the car picked up within 2 weeks of the end of the auction. If you are having it transported to you I know a couple of shippers, or will work with yours. Thanks for looing and good luck! |

Ford Mustang pinball machine has supple wrist, plays by sense of smell [w/video]
Fri, 07 Feb 2014Ford didn't have anything major to show off at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, so it seems it instead opted to have some fun - it brought a row of pinball machines to the show. Yes, pinball machines.
We originally told you about the Stern Pinball Ford Mustang machine a few days ago, and as day two of the Chicago show is a bit of a slow one, we opted to head to the show floor and get some snaps of the bank of new machines. Not surprisingly, there's plenty for the Mustang fan in each of these machines, ranging frond different models, to logos to a full model.
Take a look below for our full gallery of live shots, available up top. Then head below for our original gallery of stock images, along with a video and press release on the new machines.
Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a lean, mean, Z/28-fighting machine [w/video]
Mon, 17 Nov 2014If there's one thing you can count on, it's that the renewed rivalry between the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro will never, ever cease. For every version of Ford's pony car, there's an equally potent Chevrolet. And so with the debut of the Camaro Z/28 earlier this year, Ford has responded with a track-focused 'Stang of its own, resurrecting the Shelby GT350 name.
It looks to be a fine piece of work, this Mustang, with power coming from a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V8 that will produce "more than 500 horsepower" and "above 400" pound-feet of torque. That grunt runs to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, and a Torsen limited-slip differential keeps everything in line.
But that's hardly the most impressive piece of the GT350 puzzle. Ford has increased the Mustang GT's chassis stiffness for duty here in the Shelby, and the coupe employs MagneRide damping which automatically adjusts based on road conditions and driver inputs. It's a first both for the Blue Oval and for the segment. And speaking of firsts, the GT350 uses a flat-plane crankshaft - something Ford has never included in a production V8 before.
Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.
