1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner Convertible    

Powered by a Ford V8. The engine runs good. It has the Cruise-O-Matic 3 speed automatic transmission. It is equipped with power steering. It could use a new convertible top.

The interior is in good condition for being original, it could use a new rug and front seat covers.  This is a good running, good driving car that has been well maintained over the last 50 years. It has a straight body with decent paint but is an older paint job and has it's share of common chips and scratches.

Chrome is average to above average on most of the exterior trim. This is a driver quality car and not a show car, so I'm sure you know what to expect. The paint rating is a 7 in my opinion on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being near perfect. There has been some repairs in trunk floor pans and possibly other areas as would be expected of a vehicle this age but still shows well. Recently a dual exhaust was installed, power steering seals were replaced and a new gas tank was installed. Please note: It has a trans fluid drip on the floor when you park overnight.

This a hard to find car in this price range as this model in full restored condition is in the $45-50k range. Ford Sunliners are hard to find, especially in this turn key driver quality. Usually examples of Sunliners you find are basket cases for $5-10k and fully restored sunliners for the above mentioned $40-50k.

There is quite a bit of upside value as you continue to improve this car from it's present condition.

In summary this is a good car to have some fun in and you can improve the value and quality as you have fun with it. Value price makes this 59 Ford a good buy for the collector or enthusiast that would like to buy a hard to find classic convertible.

2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.
