This is a rare car and will make a great restoration project for the experienced or newbie. This auction is for a 1969 Torino, Fairlane 500, fastback. The car is complete and has the number matching engine and transmission. The car currently does not run and I have not had the engine and tranny inspected by a shop. They are there, the numbers match and they appear complete. The car is sound for its age and does not have alot of cancer in it or much rust on the frame rails. The roof, quarters, and fenders appear solid. There is a bad spot on the passenger side door skin that will need repaired, and one on the rear deck on the passenger side. Both are not to hard to fix. The floors in the car have suface rust but dont appear to need any new metal, I have not looked in the trunk yet to see what its condition is. I am guessing that it is ok as all the seals on the car seem good. The doors are tight with no sag in them and open and shut smooth and firm. The hood opens and closes good but does have a small dent spot along the drivers side. The car is in Original condition with 90 percent of the trim for the car on it. The original motor is a 302, with an Automatic transmission. As stated I have not tried to start the car at all, I am sure it will need some sort of work but to get it going but am unsure of what it would take. All the gages and interior are there with the exception of the passenger side door pannel, I dont know where it went and will update the auction should I find it in the trunk later today when I go check. The car does have the Fairlane 500 badges, and has good options on it. If you need more info, pics, ect please feel free to give me a call, this is one of about 300 old cars and truckis that I will be listing for a friend of mine who used to own a salvage yard, my number is 360-295-0886 (Sean) Vader Automotive. I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime should I receive an acceptable offer as the car as it is for sale locally also. There are not many of these old fastbacks left, now is the time to buy and restore yours. To help save the new owner some money we may be able to deliver the car anywhere in the US as well as to any shipping port of call for overseas buyers, however, ALL Shipping costs are to be paid by the buyer. We would be at a lot cheaper rate then the shipping companys, but will need fuel and expenses covered. I will be taking more pictures later today and will add them tonight to the auction. Let me know what your looking for, we may just have it. Please don't call asking for parts, we do have a few that will be sold as parts cars but as a rule we don't sell parts. As I said above I will be listing several other classic project cars (and a couple restored ones) soon. a few of the are listed below, Thanks

2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along
Wed, 24 Sep 2014You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
Ford recalling 390,000 cars over door latch woes
Fri, Apr 24 2015Ford is recalling certain Fiesta, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles due to faulty door latches, marking the latest in what seems to be a recurring issue for the Blue Oval. This is the third door latch recall from Ford in 2015, following a 213,000-unit recall in March and a 205,000-unit recall in January. This one, however, is significantly larger. A total of 390,000 units are affected, including Fusions and MKZs from model years 2013 and 2014, as well as Fiestas from model years 2012 to 2014. A "broken pawl spring tab" is the culprit, potentially keeping doors from latching shut. According to Ford, even if the door does shut, it could come open again without warning. The affected Fiestas were built between February 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013 at the Cuautitlan, Mexico factory. The Fusion and MKZ siblings, meanwhile, were screwed together at Hermosillo Assembly in Mexico between July 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013. Ford is aware of three minor reports of door malfunctions. In two cases, the door bounced back open, quite literally hitting drivers on their way out. In the third case, a door swung open of its own accord while a driver was attempting to park, hitting another vehicle. Ford will notify owners, who will need to report into dealers to have all four latches replaced. Scroll down for the official press release. Related Video: APR 24, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES SAFETY RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA FOR DOOR LATCH ISSUE ON FORD FIESTA AND FUSION, LINCOLN MKZ Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 390,000 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta and 2013-2014 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles for a door latch issue. The door latch in these vehicles may experience a broken pawl spring tab, which typically results in a condition where the door will not latch. If a customer is then able to latch the door, there is potential the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is aware of two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it, and one accident allegation when an unlatched door swung open and struck an adjacent vehicle as the driver was pulling into a parking space. Affected vehicles include certain 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta vehicles built at Cuautitlan Assembly Plant, Feb.
Ford Explorer Jackson Pollock Edition results in trip to hospital
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Among the many useful pieces of driving advice we've taken to heart over the years, "Safely secure all cargo" is etched pretty high on our personal stone tablets. We've had a couple of frustrating moments over the years (numerous wonky cupholders and too-tall lidded cups; a radar detector that released its suction cups and dashed itself below the dashboard, etc.), but never anything like the scene above.
These photos above come courtesy of the Washington State Patrol, and they show the unfortunate aftermath of a driver, his dog, and his Ford Explorer after it crashed near the town of Belfair last week. According to reports, the man was schlepping five-gallon containers of paint inside his vehicle when he was involved in an unexplained accident. It's not clear what triggered the crash, but the impromptu abstract painting covered the whole of the interior, including the driver and his faithful companion.
The man was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries, and his dog was cleaned and later taken to a humane society.
