Fruitland, Idaho, United States
Up for auction is a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible Sunliner. This was a father son project that we took in on trade. I don't know much about it, but will describe it to the best of my ability. Do NOT Assume anything about this car. Please email any questions you have after reading the entire ad, and I will respond to the best of my knowledge. This is a Mid 50's convertible that runs and drives, it will be a great project car! The floor pans have been patched, it has had rockers and quarter panels put on it. The inner wheel houses are original. Body work is roughed in and needs finish work on the right rocker panel. All of the body panels need to be a little better aligned. we just rebuilt the master cylinder and we put 2 new wheel cylinders on the front. It runs but needs the carburetor rebuilt. The previous owner put a new fuel pump on it, but it needs the fuel tank cleaned. We have all of the parts in a pile and will in the next couple of days add pictures, but from what we can tell all of the parts are there. It has a 312 4 barrel with a rebuilder tag on it, I don't know how many miles ago that it was rebuilt, it seems to run good and does not smoke. The car will only start in the neutral position, the neutral safety switch needs to be adjusted. This car has no exhaust, there is 6 inches of pipe off each manifold. All of the top bows are there and in good shape, there is no canvas. The seats and back panels need to be reupholstered. The dash is complete. The bottom of the car is very clean, looks like someone has cleaned, painted and undercoated it. I will also add pictures of the bottom of the car. The jack and tire iron are still in the trunk.

Ford issues four recalls covering 163k vehicles
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Recalls! 2014 will be forever remembered as the year that automakers went recall crazy, with millions and millions of vehicles adding up to crush previous recall records well before the end of the year. Adding to that tally is Ford, which announced a call-back for 163,000 vehicles.
Leading that charge are the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder engines of the Ford Focus ST and Ford Escape. 160,000 of the 2013 and 2014 models have bad wiring harnesses that can disrupt the signals traveling to the powertrain control module. That, in turn, could lead to a check engine light, reduced power and stalling. Notably, Ford hasn't recalled any other vehicles that feature the 2.0 EcoBoost, such as the Fusion, Taurus or Explorer.
While the Focus ST and Escape constitute the vast majority of recalled vehicles, they aren't the only problem children in the Ford family. 1,300 Transit passenger vans from model year 2015 were recalled due to brake fluid leaks, while another 600 Transit cargo variants were recalled after Ford discovered the windowless sliding doors could come open in the event of a side-impact crash. Dealers will replace the sealing washers on the passenger variants and add a reinforcement plate on the cargo models, The Detroit News reports.
2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.
Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA
Fri, 31 Oct 2014Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.
