For sale- a true part of American car building at it's best. The 1959 Fairlane is in very good condition. It's not driven every day, but certainly could be. I purchased it about 6 years ago. It came from South Dakota, where for part of it's recent life was displayed on the showroom floor of a local Ford dealer. I believe it was sometime during that time of it's life that the exterior and interior were restored and the undercarriage was coated.
It runs great, transmission shifts smoothly, the tires, battery and fuel pump are new. Also included with the purchase of this beauty is a Durafin Car Cover (interior use) and about $400 worth of parts I purchased for a project I never started to rebuild the motor. Something it really doesn't need, but I thought I would have the time to do it.
Although the odometer reads 19,387, I think you can add 100,000 to that.Since the car is in such good shape, I don't think it turned more than once, but that is speculation on my part.
There is a small crack in the passenger side vent window, and a small hole in the right exhaust manifold. A replacement manifold is included.
Since I owned this car, its always been garaged and never driven in the rain or snow.
Buyer is responsible for pickup and transportation.
A $500 (PayPal) non-refundable deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close.
Full payment within 7 days or at pick up. Personal check once cleared, cash or bank transfer.
This car is being sold locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.
Good Luck!

Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.
Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.
Ford Fiesta ST customs get wild at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The massive 57-car SEMA showcase by Ford ranges from obvious aftermarket-friendly models like the Mustang, to the not so obvious ones, like the Transit Connect and cute-as-an-explosive-button Fiesta ST. Ford plucked several Fiesta STs for SEMA duty, and we were on the show floor today to get a closer look at some of them.
First up is the striking COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST (above) finished in a black-and-gray digital camouflage, much like that used in the military, and is meant to raise awareness for the Pat Tillman Foundation. COBB also fitted a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake. A new shift knob, carbon-fiber hood and a Kicker stereo round out the mix of upgrades.
MRT got its hands on a Fiesta ST and created a car inspired by Forza Motorsport 5 (below, left). Featuring a two-tone paint job and more performance upgrades than you can shake a stick at, this Fiesta ST is one of the cooler compacts at Ford's stand. A high-performance exhaust system, along with a complimentary COBB induction system, allows the ST to breathe better, while an H&R coil over suspension and Steeda brakes help it stop and turn better than stock.
