1957 Ford Fairlane Nascar Convertible Series Tribute To Fireball Roberts. Wow! on 2040-cars
Wilmington, North Carolina, United States
|
Guess who is going into The NASCAR Haul Of Fame? Fireball Roberts is going into the NASCAR Hall Of Fame this January. Here is a car built to honor his memory and success in the sport.
This is not a race car but it was "purpose built" to look as close as possible like the ones used on the track and the beaches of Daytona. It houses a period correct 312 Y Block motor and a 3 speed column shifter transmission. The car runs and drives great and I have spent loads of money trying to continually improve the driving experience of this vehicle. We also completed the 2013 Great Race with the car and drew huge crowds at every stop along the way.
If you want a traditional classic car, this one is not for you. If you want a true collector car that represents NASCAR history then nothing does it better than this one.
The car is very solid with no know rust or damage. We recently installed dyna-mat and installed the correct badging for the car. We have gone through the suspension, drivetrain, electrical, brake system etc. IT IS NOT PERFECT but it is super cool and can be driven anywhere.
Take a look at all the pictures, do all your homework and understand the true value. After all that is completed you can call me with questions at 910-262-6112 or shoot me an email. This is not a crisis sale so please don't make silly offers.
We reserve the right to sale the car and end the auction process. We will help with any shipping at the buyers expence.

Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines
Fri, 25 Oct 2013The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters
Sun, 28 Sep 2014The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
