Rockmart, Georgia, United States
Up for sale is my personal 1965 Ford Fairlane 500 4 door sedan. I found this car sitting inside of a warehouse over a year ago and bought it from the original owners Grandson.
The car had been sitting inside since 1990. I was told the odometer was indeed the actual mileage and it is not staggered like they do when they roll over. I brought the car home and pulled the fuel tank off, cleaned it out, treated it, cleaned the fuel lines and carburetor, Undercoated the entire under carriage, changed the fluids, re installed the fuel tank and have been driving it around town since. All of the glass is good, new wiper blades, all lights work, blinkers, etc. heater works good, AM radio plays good, has sport coupe flipper hubcaps, original spare and jack assembly still in place, 289 engine runs smooth, transmission shifts as should. Car needs a minor restoration It's NEEDS include, brake adjustment, likes to pull to the left a little, bumpers need re chromed ,will need tires, these have good tread but are dry from sitting, needs front floor pan patch panels, the rear is solid and the trunk pan is solid, as are the rocker panels, under neath the doors etc. Car received a repaint in the mid 1980's It will need to be stripped and repainted, there are some minor body flaws such as dings and a couple of small dents but nothing major, car does have some old filler that will need to be repaired, but not much, it was not a rust bucket nor is it a rust bucket. It's a very fun old car to drive, gets a lot of attention , I am just ready for a new toy.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
