This is a really cool little Fairlane Wagon that will make a great project car.

You can fix it up as a unique restoration, or just add a small block & use it as a rat wagon for cruising around town.

These are pretty rare these days, and you won't find many around in any condition. This one is in really nice shape considering its over 50 years old.

I got it in partial trade for an engine I built. I like it but really don't have the time for yet another project car (I already own a couple).

It has a clear North Carolina title, but I honestly don't know where it came from originally.

It has a very minor amount of rust in the driver's quarter, and the bottom of the tailgate (they all seem to rust there). Both areas should be pretty easy to repair, and the rest of the car is in darn nice shape rust wise. One local guy offered a 1970s level low ball price & told me there was a rust hole in the rear floorboard and a mouse back there too. I have not looked for the rear rust hole - definitely not a Flintstone car and the front floor certainly seems OK to me - that's where I sit. I'll have not seen the mouse either but I'll throw him in for free if you find him.

The passenger side front door has a side-swipe dent in it - somebody in 1970-something probably rubbed against the gas pumps or something. Not deep and definitely a "fix the door" - not a "replace the door" kind of damage. The grill, bumpers and trim are all there and intact. You could clean them up but that would disturb the "look"...buy the car and its your decision to make.

Paint is mostly original from what I can tell - very weathered, but still mostly there. So there should be very few, if any surprises hiding in the car (besides the mouse).

Car has some old Cragars on it, and tires that hold air for transport. You'll obviously need a trailer.

Was a 260 V8 car with 3 on the tree. Clutch pedal etc are still there.

Interior is complete, but obviously not perfect. Not a wreck - front seat bottom has been recovered, the rest appears original. Headliner is drooping in back. The mouse must've died of starvation 'cuz the insides are not torn up at all.

The reserve is rational and just there to keep me from getting hammered by a low ball deal if I screw up the listing. Its also for sale locally so it could get sold. Its a money talks kinda deal.

New York Mets outfielder turns spring training into his personal car show

Wed, Feb 24 2016

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is known for his wide range of talents. He can hit for power, average, has good speed, and is solid in the field. His car collection is equally versatile and diverse, and it's been on display this week at spring training. Every day has brought a different car, and it has his teammates and the media atwitter. Cespedes rolled up Wednesday to the Mets facility in Port St. Lucie in a Lamborghini Aventador. It's black with blue trim. Anthony DiComo with MLB.com tweeted this: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. ESPN's Darren Rovell tweeted the Lambo has a custom exhaust that cost $80,000 and shoots out flames. Of course, that's already old news. His Alfa Romeo showed up today, too. Apparently Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has been driving it. That's an ultra-rare 8C Competizione, brought to you by Robert Brender of SNY.TV. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The Italian delights are stunning, but his Tuesday arrival was arguably the craziest: a Polaris Slingshot. DiComo captured this. It's customized with gaudy wire wheels, red accents, and Cespedes' No. 52 on the hood. Subtle. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Only in this fleet would Monday's ride appear pedestrian. It was 'only' an F-250. It was raised on huge wheels, had a custom grille, and towered over that Maserati behind it. Jon Santucci of Scripps newspapers observed it. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. At this rate, we should probably skip Geneva and get credentialed for Mets spring training. Cespedes signed a three-year $75-million contract with the Mets in the off-season. He's also played for the Oakland Athletics, Boston Red Sox, and Detroit Tigers. Related Video: Image Credit: Getty Images Celebrities Design/Style Ford Lamborghini Performance baseball

Ford Mustang 50th anniversary edition brings in $170k

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Just the other day, we reported on the first Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat selling for a whopping $825,000 at auction. But impressive as that sum was, the Challenger wasn't the only sought-after modern muscle car to cross the Barrett-Jackson auction block in Las Vegas this past weekend. So did this rare Ford Mustang.
The last of 1,964 special-edition 50 Years Limited Edition pony cars sold for a princely $170,000, with proceeds benefiting the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute, a branch of the Henry Ford Health System.
The pony car in question is based on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and upgrades with a performance package and nearly every option on the book, along with a unique appearance package to set it apart in celebration of the Mustang's 50th anniversary. It's available in two exclusive shades - Wimbledon white or Kona blue - with either a manual or automatic transmission. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples were to be built, and this was the last of them.

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
