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 looks to space robots to improve car-to-car communications [w/video]
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Ford has partnered with St. Petersburg Polytechnic University for three years to research various kinds of connected vehicle communications. The university tie-up is part of its study of space robots, NASA systems created to enable space-to-Earth communication, and the university's own development of systems that enable communication between the International Space State and Earth.
The objective is for Ford to engineer layers of robust networks and redundancy systems that will allow your car to speak to other cars, to emergency vehicles, to infrastructure like traffic lights and buildings, and to the cloud. Benefits would come in just about every area of transit, from avoiding accidents, to getting medical workers to an accident more quickly, to improving the flow of traffic during rush hour.
Check out the press release below for details on what Ford wants to learn from the JUSTIN Humanoid and NASA Robonaut R2, and a video of technical leader Oleg Gusikhin discussing his interest in the project.
Watch how a Ford Raptor rolls down the assembly line in Dearborn
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Bloomberg TV reporter Matt Miller is the proud new owner of a pretty killer truck. How do we know? The reporter headed to Dearborn, MI to Ford's assembly plant, with a film crew in tow, to see exactly how his new F-150 SVT Raptor and its mother-loving 6.2-liter V8 engine, was screwed together.
The resulting video does an excellent job of summing up how an assemblage of parts and pieces is turned into a triple-black Raptor, thanks to the work of some 1,000 employees and about 20 hours of real time. Click through below to see how the truck is born, with a surprise cameo playing the part of delivery driver at the end.
Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses
Wed, 25 Jul 2012
Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.
