We just acquired this outstanding car from a long term owner who cared for this car very well all thru his ownership. A total rock solid, never rusted example of the seldom seen Fairlane 500 in the sedan body style. Well documented having been sold new at Valley Ford Sales in Florissant Missouri. The car went to Alabama early in its life and was never exposed to any winter weather evidenced by its outstanding rust-free condition. This '65 Fairlane retains its complete original matching number drivetrain from the 289 V-8 to the Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission and Ford 9" rear-end. The previous owner sought out the correct parts to upgrade the original 'C' Code 289 to the factory HI-PO offering of 1965. Good effort and money was spent to secure correct componentry and the work produced a very strong performing powertrain that is reliable and fun to drive. All of the mechanicals have been refreshed over the years and this car runs and drives absolutely perfect and has no needed drivability issues whatsoever. The car is simply fast, reliable, safe and just fun to drive.

The body integrity of this car is excellent with good panel fit, no visible previous collision or rust repair and a very good overall repaint in the original color of Wimbeldon White. Front and rear bumpers have been re-chromed and all stainless and anodized bright trim is very nice. All window glass nearly perfect. The trunk compartment is mint, refinished in the correct Ford Spatter paint. Spare tire, jack and tools are in place.

The interior of the Fairlane is near mint, a combination of excellent original pieces and some redone. The steering wheel was sent out for restoration is flawless. The rare no-radio dash bezel is properly in place. Gauges, switches and clamps all operate correctly as does the heater and defroster.

You will see in our photos that the engine compartment is done to a high level of detail. The underside of this car is excellent with original untampered with floor and trunk pan. A complete correct new dual exhaust system was fitted at the time of the engine upgrade. A previous owner fitted power steering which make this car much more pleasurable to drive.

All 5 wheels are correct to the car and the proper replacement size radial tires are like new. The car comes with both the small dog dish hubcaps as pictured and a second set of correct mint full wheel covers if that is your preference.

Great documentation is included with the car including the Ford Motor Company paperwork confirming the cars build dates, options, equipment and colors. All of this matches the original DSO Tag in the left door jamb. Also included is the original owners embossed Ident-A-Card, the original owners manual, the HI-PO supplement manual, 1965 Ford Full Line and Fairlane showroom brochures, a 1965 Ford Performance Equipment brochure and much more. Its all there.

A 1965 Fairlane in this unmolested condition is seldom seen and building this car today would be very cost prohibitive. We have shown many good pictures of this to give you a good idea of how nice it really is but feel free to come and inspect it if you choose. You will not be disappointed, it is one little honey of a car.

Ford's cars being held up in Chinese ports in trade tensions with U.S.

Wed, May 9 2018

BEIJING — Ford Motor Co's imported vehicles are being held up at Chinese ports, three people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters, underscoring how U.S. goods are facing increased customs scrutiny in China amid a tense trade standoff. The three people said Ford and Lincoln vehicles were facing unusual delays at customs, with officials asking for extra technical checks. Two of the people said U.S.-made models of some German carmakers, mainly SUVs, being brought into China, were also affected. Ford was being asked to do extra checks on emission components, said a China-based Ford executive familiar with the matter, asking not be named because of the sensitivity of the issue. China's customs agency did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The holdups add to a growing list of American products facing issues at China's borders, as officials try to avert a full-blown trade war. Some trade experts said they believe Beijing is sending a defiant warning to Washington in response to sweeping U.S. trade demands made on China last week. Reuters reported Tuesday that China had ramped up inspections of pork shipped from the United States, after the country's customs agency said it would step up quarantine checks on American apples and logs. The second person, a China-based industry official with knowledge of the matter, said the delays for Ford Â— as well as some U.S.-made cars from BMW and Mercedes-Benz Â— had been going on for the last two weeks. "Customs pretends there are technical non-conformities of some nature that won't allow them to clear these U.S.-made cars through customs, but the U.S.-China trade frictions must be the background to this," he said. "Although no one will officially admit it." Responding to a request for comment from Reuters, a BMW spokesman said that "U.S.-made BMW cars have not been delayed at the ports as of last week and before." A Daimler spokeswoman said it was "monitoring the situation closely" regarding ongoing trade talks between China and the United States, but that she could not speculate further on other matters. The third person said the Ford issue, which had been noted by the United States government, and other holdups facing American goods, were clearly related to the trade dispute. A Ford spokeswoman in Shanghai when asked about the matter said: "We are closely monitoring our situation at the port." She declined to comment further.

Ford E-Series chassis cabs and cutaways to survive mass Transit onslaught

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

In March 2013, Ford announced we'd be getting chassis cab and cutaway versions of the Transit. Since incoming Transit vans will soon be rolling over the grave of the E-Series van, it was assumed that all E-Series models would go six feet under as well. According to a report from PickupTrucks.com, however, that's not the case, the report claiming that the highly modifiable E-350 and E-450 chassis cab and cutaway versions will continue being produced in Avon Lake, Ohio "at least until 2020."
Being decades old, the be-cabbed E-Series platform has found its way under an army of heavy-duty shuttle buses, work truck and ambulances. Ford spokeswoman Jessica Enoch verified the production horizon, telling Autoblog that the particular E-Series configuration "are a higher GVWR than the Transit chassis cab and cutaway (available this summer), which is more Class 2 and a new segment for us." So there you have it.

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial

Sat, 01 Feb 2014

Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.
