DON'T LET THIS ONE PASS BY. YOU WON'T FIND ANOTHER JUST LIKE IT. 1964 was a banner year for Ford. Not
only was the Ford Mustang debuted in 1964, but also the Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt
Two-Door Hardtop. The Mustang was an attractive, sporty, vehicle that offered
visual appeal and performance, while the Fairlane Thunderbolt was a drag racing
machine that had the performance to take on any production vehicle created
during that era. Although these models grabbed all the headlines, Ford offered
many more unique and popular platforms. The Fairlane was sold between
1955 and 1970. The name was derived from Henry Ford's estate, Fair Lane, near
Dearborn, MI. Over time, the name referred to a number of different cars in
different classes. By 1962, the Fairlane was revamped from a full size to a mid
size, to bridge the gap between the compact Ford Falcon and the full-sized Galaxie.
In mid 1963 production, a station wagon model was added to the Fairlane lineup.
Originally built as a grocery getter and family traveler, some ambitious hot
rodders have created unique and one of a kind variations. This is one of those
unique modified examples.

This is not primer. Period correct graphics have been applied to the body. Please view the photos of the roof. Back in the day, a vintage pop art mural was painted on the roof, from front to back. It has been cleared over and preserved. The art work that was involved in this mural is amazing. Glass all around is in very good condition. Stainless and chrome in good shape, with patina. Front bumper is in good condition. Rear bumper is fair, with dents and dings. Dual sport mirrors. Five spoke chrome wheels with radial tires. Look great on the car. However, if you want a stocker look, the original steel wheels, with tires and hubcaps, are included. Currently has a hot rod/rat rod look, but would make a great surf or beach wagon also. Most of the interior appears original. Both front and rear seat backs are in decent condition. The front and rear cushions are worn. The Indian blankets represent popular rat rod look. If you want to remove the blankets, some seat work will be required. Dash is all original. Custom vintage door panels. No headliner. Billet spoked steering wheel. Factory AM radio. A/C unit mounted under the dash.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS
Sat, Jan 21 2023Ford's now-defunct Mercury Division first began using the Marquis name in 1967, on a sporty full-size hardtop based on the Ford LTD, then began offering the Grand Marquis beginning in the 1979 model year. These big, boxy luxury sedans were replaced by big, curvy luxury sedans (on the same platform) starting with the 1992 model year, so today's Junkyard Gem is one of the very last squared-off Grand Marquises ever built. The 1991 Grand Marquis (or "Grandma Keith," as many refer to it today) looks nearly identical to its 1979 predecessor at a glance, just as the 2011 model doesn't differ much from the 1992 model. Ford saw no reason to follow short-lived fashion trends with its simple, sturdy rear-wheel-drive sedan. Only two Grand Marquis trim levels were available for 1991: the base GS and the (somewhat) upscale LS. The former listed at $18,741 and the latter at $19,241, which comes to about $41,494 and $42,601, respectively, in inflated 2022 dollars). This interior would have seemed comfortingly familiar to a 1968 (or even 1958) Mercury owner time-traveling to 1991. This is the optional "full grain leather seating surface," which cost an extra $489 (about $1,083 today). Dig those opera lights! Air conditioning was standard equipment in the 1991 Grand Marquis and its wagon counterpart, the Colony Park. The engine is the good old pushrod 5.0-liter Windsor V8, which would be replaced by a far more modern 4.6-liter SOHC mill in the '92 Grand Marquis. This engine was rated at 180 horsepower. A four-speed automatic was the only transmission available. The early 1990s ended up being the last gasp for padded vinyl roofs being considered mainstream equipment on new Detroit cars; this one was called the "Formal Coach" roof and cost an additional 725 bucks ($1,605 now). Such roofs were still available on a few cars later in the decade, but their time had passed. Why would such a clean Grandma Keith end up in a place like this? That's easy: it got T-boned directly into the right front wheel, mangling the body and bending up the suspension. This damage might have been worth fixing when the car was five years old, but it's a write-off when it happens to a 31-year-old Ford Panther. 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis Commercial - Savings Ad The granddaddy of them all, and on sale in South Texas!

Ford Mustang GT350 drops some camo
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Now that we've poured over the 2015 Ford Mustang in its standard form, it's time to look ahead. We already knew (and heard - literally) that Ford was working on a higher-performance version of its 'Stang to replace the Shelby GT500, and earlier reports have stated that it will simply be called the GT350.
We don't have a ton of detail to go on, but this latest set of spy photos clearly shows a hood-mounted air scoop, which suggests a forced-induction powerplant is under the hood. However, this disagrees with earlier reports that the GT350 will be all motor, using a naturally aspirated engine to send massive horsepower to the rear wheels. Our spies also point out the functional vent aft of the front wheels to allow for better airflow, and the massive quad exhaust pipes can be seen, clear as day.
Expect to see the Mustang GT350 in April, when it debuts at the New York Auto Show in conjunction with the Pony's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, have a look at our gallery above to see the latest shots of the hot Mustang out testing.
