1966 Ford Fairlane 500 2 Door Coupe on 2040-cars
Branson, Missouri, United States
Offered for sale is a fine example of the 1966 Ford Fairlane 500. A growingly popular mid size muscle car among the Ford contingent, the sleek swept lines of the Fairlane have been sought after for many years and the added benefit of more passenger space, a larger trunk and better handling than the Pony car Mustang brethren make it a smart choice for today's buyer.
This particular example has been well restored, cared for and presents itself extremely well. Upgraded Power Front disc brakes, Power Steering, a mildly performance built 289cu in V8 with 4 bbl carburetor, performance camshaft, block hugger headers and a Flowmaster equipped dual exhaust REALLY wake this car up and give it the performance to match it's good looks. Very glossy Wimbledon White paint and complimenting Night Mist Blue stripes are sealed in a Base Coat/Clear Coat modern paint that will stay glossy looking and low maintenance for years to come. Riding on 15" Retro American Racing Torque Thrust wheels with the polished outer rim and Nexen 205/55R/15 performance radials make this car a dream to drive on either the straight stretches or the curvy backroads. The completely rebuilt front suspension, coupled with boxed subframe connectors tie the car together for just such an instance. The sheetmetal appears to be all original and is rust free. The paint has been professionally applied. Interior has been upgraded in material and features a nice stripe matching medium blue cloth throughout and 5 seatbelt locations provide the needed safety factor to bring friends and family along for the ride. Underneath of the car is solid, original but well detailed and the factory torque boxes are in factory condition. The professionally built C4 automatic transmission features 3 speeds and shifts crisply and cleanly every time. As a matter of condition, this car still retains its original Owners Manual and Original Ownership information and was sold new in Republic, MO on 4/28/1966. Seems to not have traveled far outside its home in over 40 years. (See pics for details) As mentioned, the Ford Fairlane is growing in popularity as all of the Mustangs get sucked up and the prices go through the roof. This is a lot of car....for not a lot of money....you should buy it! Call Tom or Jim at 417-335-2600 for more details. |

Mon, Aug 15 2016Jeremy Clarkson is well-known for his role as co-host on the old Top Gear. But the frontman of the upcoming Amazon Prime Show, The Grand Tour, also has a standing column for The Sunday Times in the UK where he reviews the latest cars.

Whether it's the car's looks, the way it gets up to speed, or its high-tech gadgets, Clarkson's top-10 list is made up of items that are more than just tools for getting from point A to B.

Wrap up some fun with Ford's commercial vehicle configurator
Tue, 27 Aug 2013Ford has combined multiple steps into one with its commercial vehicle configurator, which allows users to choose, design and place orders for the Transit, Transit Connect, E-Series vans and F-Series Super Duty trucks.
The most interesting part of the new configurator is a fairly robust design tool. Users are able to choose paint color and wrap the vehicle, and then create their own graphics. No materials are needed - Ford provides numerous background textures, text boxes, plenty of shapes and 20 categories of images including floral, construction, plumbing and skylines. Self-created designs or images can be uploaded to the system as well.
We played around with the design tool a bit and uploaded our own image to create the Autoblog Podcast Live van you see here. Feel free to check out the configurator and make your own design.
