1958 Ford Fairlane 2 dr Hardtop street legal straight axle vintage drag style car. Powered by a tunnel rammed Olds 455 with dual Holleys. Drive train is a TH 400 and 390 gears. This is a great car for your weekend cruise, local car show, or some time at your favorite track.

* Olds 455 30 over and balanced, crank is 10 and 10, hi volume oil pump with 6 1/2 quart pan. Crower hydraulic cam. G heads with port and polish, Ferrea stainless valves, Comp Cams roller rockers, and ARP head studs to hold then down.

* Offy tunnel ram with a pair or Holley 600 vacuum secondary carbs.

* MSD ignition and distributor

* Custom side exit exhaust have removable caps

* Dual pass aluminum radiator with electric fan

* Th 400 transmission and 3500 rpm Coan stall speed

* 3.90 Richmond gears. locker differential and 28 spline Superior axles

* 1956 Ford F100 front axle with disc brake conversion with line lock installed. 1956 F100 steering gear box rebuilt this year.

* Full set of Autometer Gauges that all work with exception of the fuel pressure gauge that is just not hooked up. Yes it has a working speedometer.

* Procar seats and Simpson harness on the drivers side with regular belt for the passenger. There are not a lot of frills in the interior. All windows go up and down.

* M&H street strip tires in the rear, 275/60/15s on custom 10" rims. Protrack front runners on 3.5 wide slots.

* Rear wheel wells have been pushed out to clear the giant tires and some of outer quarter panel has been trimmed to allow some of the original look. I did not want to tub it.

* The body is in good overall condition and has some panels replaced like one rocker and one of the quarter panels. It does however have some body filler in one of the rockers and front of the fenders. The tilt front needs a little more body work to be as good as the rest of the car, but its not to bad. The floors are now all flat steel.

* The tilt front is all steel and can be opened using one hand. Has a quick disconnect for the lights and can be removed easily. The hood can also be removed with screws holding it on.

* Summit epoxy primer was used for the exterior finish sealing it up. So if someone wants to paint the car it would not be a huge ordeal.

The engine was just though and has 54 miles on it. The transmission may have 200 miles or so on it. There is not much on the car that isn't fairly new or hasn't been replaced it the last few years.

This car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the action early unless the reserve is met, then it will run to the end.

The wet spots under the car in the pictures are from condensation from the exhaust. It was 15 degrees out when I took the pics

Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.

Enterprise working with renter's insurance to cover $47k Mustang stolen from its lot

Sat, 11 Jan 2014

There was more than a bit of public indigence following the recent story of Enterprise Rent-A-Car billing a customer $47,000 to replace a Ford Mustang GT Convertible stolen from a Nova Scotia lot. To recap: Kristen Cockerill rented the Mustang for two days, returned it to the lot on a Sunday and left the keys in a secure dropbox only for Enterprise employees to find the car gone the next day.
Despite Enterprise policies stating that customers are responsible for vehicles dropped on off-days, the company has admitted that the situation could've been handled a bit better.
In a recent statement, Enterprise has backed off the big-bill story, and claims to be working with Cockerill and her insurance company to resolve the issue. Further, the Enterprise general manager overseeing Nova Scotia has spoken with the harried renter, and apologized "for the way this claim was handled during the last few months."
