1965 Ford Fairlane 500 2door Hard Top on 2040-cars
Nixa, Missouri, United States
|
I Have a 1965 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door Hard top . The car is a "C" code 289 with 3 speed manual transmission on the colume. The car is fairly solid over all and runs like a top.I drove the car around the block and its a nice old car. The outside of the car is Black but is very dull and does need paint,the car was White from the factory. It looks good from 20ft and has a nice shine when wet so could be drove like it is of course.The car has a couple bubble spots of rust poping up but very solid for the most part. Both front floor pans have some rust.The driver side has had a piece of tin put down but you would want to cut it out and install a pan if you was restoring the car. The rear pans look good. The trunk pan has some pin holes and scaley rust on it when looking at the top side. Hard to see much of the bottom for the gas tank.The frame rails are nice and solid. Over all for a 1965 I think its in great shape. I do have a bunch of trim from the car. Some is good and some is bad so depends on the look you are going for if you need the trim. The inside of the car shows some age. Needs seats and carpet redone along with headliner. Is blue and white inside. The engine purrs like a kitten. Has had a Edelbrock 4 barrel intake and carb installed.Carries good oil pressure and does not over heat.The trans pulls and shifts good. The brakes are good and does not pull to one side or the other. I have been running off a gas can under the hood just because I didnt know what kind of shape the gas was in that is in the tank. Needs new ignition installed but does come with car. I jumped the selonoide and ran a hot wire to the coil. Installed new points and condensor. With just a little time and money spent ono the car you can be driving it as much as you want. I can get these things done for the purchaser at a extra cost if you do not want to do them yourself. Tires are like new. The car came out of Georgia so it has a Bill of Sale of course as they do not title old cars. I will try to send that paper work in here in Mo. this week as I have everything already to get the title thru Mo. It takes about 7 to 10 days normally. So as the car stands right now has a Billof sale out of Georgia with it but if I get that sent in this week I will update the listing letting everyone know that I have done that.

Is that the Ford GT Le Mans racer in the background of this Forza video?
Mon, Jan 26 2015Shortly after the reveal of the new Ford GT in Detroit a couple of weeks ago, Microsoft announced that it was putting the new American supercar on the cover of the upcoming sixth installment of the Forza Motorsport video game series. Now it has put out a video of the process of digitizing Dearborn's latest. Whether you're into Detroit steel (or carbon fiber and aluminum in this case), exotic supercars or video games, the video is worth a watch in and of itself. But our eyes were focused on something else. In the background of one shot (around the 1:49 mark) you can see a design board with renderings of what looks to be the rumored racing version of the GT – complete with reshaped air intakes, deeper side sills, a bigger rear wing and a central rear fin like you'd find on the latest LMP1 racing prototypes. It wouldn't be the first time we've caught wind of the prospect of the Blue Oval's new supercar going racing. We first heard of the plans last October, further reinforced in December with reports of the new GT coming to Detroit. And as we reported just a couple of weeks ago following the supercar's reveal, a return to Le Mans could be in the cards – which would be fortuitous timing, since next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the original GT40 scoring its landmark 1-2-3 finish in the 24-hour race.
Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting
Tue, 13 May 2014It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going
Tue, 13 May 2014Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.
