1967 Ford Failane 2 Door Post Body on 2040-cars
Year:1967
Mileage:167000
Location:
Mountain View, California, United States

1967 Ford Fairlane, 2-door post sedan, Style 62 body. This is the body style that was used for the Pro Stock racing of the time since it is the lighter and stiffer body. Of the 235,688 Fairlanes produced in 1967, only 10,628 were this body style--that's fewer than 5% of the production run. How many of these Series 62 style bodies remain 47 years later? I'm guessing fewer than 1000. If you want a clean, straight, and solid body for a Nostalgia Pro Stock build, then this car is a great candidate. This is an original California car, sold through Hughson Ford on Larkin Street in San Francisco. It spent most of its life in San Francisco and was garaged when not driven. In all seriousness this car was owned by a little old lady until the day she died (I am not joking), and when I acquired it the car had just 96,000 original miles on it. How can I be certain it was only 96,000 original miles and not 196,000 or 296,000 or 396,000? Because the car still had old, cracked bias ply tires on it that were made by Goodyear. I contacted Goodyear with the DOT date code and asked when the tires were manufactured and their reply was, "Thank you for contacting us. The date code that you provided from the tires goes beyond our records, which means that they were manufactured prior to 1980." Using this information combined with the service records in the Owner's Manual (ie, the dealership service dates and recorded mileage), it's very easy to correlate that the mileage could not be more than the original 96,000 when I purchased it. I have a free and clear California Certificate of Title and the car has current California registration into 2015. It has the original front and rear black and gold California license plates. Currently the car has 167,000 miles on it. It has the original 6-cylinder, 3-speed manual drive train. I commuted with it daily and it got 22 mpg on the highway. The car is now 47 years old, completely unrestored, and needs full restoration. But the body is solid and the car does run and drive under its own power. That said, it is nevertheless 47 years old, unrestored, in need of restoration, and is being sold as is. I replaced the front coil springs with aftermarket units that lower the front end of the car 2-3 inches. Other than that the car is pretty much stock. I do recall replacing the alternator, fuel pump, starter motor, and exhaust manifold sometime over my ownership. The tires were replaced but are bald, spongy brakes, parking brake doesn't hold, blown muffler, engine uses oil, worn interior upholstry, etc. But hey, all that stuff gets replaced or restored during the restoration anyway. When I parked it 2 years ago, everything worked--the heater, turn signals, head lights, brake lights, dash lights, horn, wipers, etc (I would start the car once in awhile while it sat). Right now the high beams aren't lighting up but they worked when I parked it, so it shouldn't be anything complicated. All the important Fairlane-specific trim is on the car. The side trim is in great shape, the headlight bezels are scratched up. The body is solid and there is no cancerous rust that I can find anywhere, only the slightest superficial surface rust in non-conspicuous places (if at all). It is now up and running as noted, and it just got a brand new windshield (the original one had a crack in it so went ahead and replaced it). This could be built into a great street hot rod; I was going to put a 500-inch BBF stroker in it. Or if you have an old 5.0 Mustang with a 302 roller engine, 5-speed, and 8.8 differential, this would be an outstanding candidate to accept that drive train and make a great street ride or even a Pro Touring car. And as stated earlier it's an excellent candidate for a Nostalgia Pro Stock car build. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. I will answer as many questions as is humanly possible, but please review the Q&A history prior to sending me a specific question. Payment due from the winning bidder within 7 days of auction end. International bidders please note: it is YOUR responsibility to arrange for international shipping, and you must already have an account with a shipper prior to bidding on this car. I can deliver to YOUR shipper in the San Francisco Bay Area for an additional US$185, or in the Los Angeles/Long Beach area (via trailer) for an additonal US$295. Thanks everyone and happy bidding! |

Ford Escort returns, just not for US
Sat, 19 Apr 2014Ford is set to give the burgeoning Chinese market its very own C-segment model, while also reviving one of the brand's more notable nameplates. The new Escort, which will make its world debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show will be built in the People's Republic at the Changan Ford joint venture facility.
The Escort's exterior is best thought of as a mix of the finer points from the US market Focus and Fusion, with the Aston Martin-ish grille and narrow, wraparound taillights presenting a clean look at either end of the car. It's all fairly true to the concept car from last year's Shanghai Motor Show. That said, this exterior job is almost too clean. There doesn't seem to be a lot of character or substance beyond the typical Ford looks.
There's a similar issue in the cabin - it all looks pretty nice, but the design is rather plain, particularly when viewed alongside the display-filled cabin of a US-spec car. Still, there looks to be a fair amount of space in both the front and back seats, and the trunk isn't exactly tiny, either.
2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 fills an F-150 Raptor-sized void
Tue, Dec 16 2014Ford is rumored to possibly debut a new F-150 Raptor at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show in January, but whether that's the case or not, Hennessey Performance is ready to fill the muscle truck niche now with its latest VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged based on the 2015 F-150. The fantastically named VelociRaptor package has been available on the regular Raptor for the past few years, taking power up to 600 horsepower or more, depending on what the buyer desired. With the latest one, the performance truck is now based on the aluminum-bodied F-150, specifically the FX4 Super Crew model with the 5.0-liter V8. "Having Ford's world-class new truck design, with a weight savings of nearly 700 pounds, our VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged will have an even greater level of performance and driving excitement," said founder John Hennessey in the company's release. The heart of VelociRaptor is the Roots-type supercharger running at 8 psi on the V8. With help from upgraded fuel injectors, a proprietary engine management system and stainless steel exhaust, it boosts grunt from a stock 385 horsepower to over 600 hp. To make sure that power gets to the road, the package also includes 33-inch BFGoodrich mounted on 17-inch Hennessey wheels. For buyers in need of more, the company offers optional parts including an off-road coilover suspension, different front and rear bumpers, a winch, LED light bar and Brembo brakes. Speaking to Autoblog, Hennessey said he feels confident that the latest VelociRaptor could do high-four-second sprints to 60 miles per hour, compared to the outgoing model in the low-five-second range. Prices for the VelociRaptor start at $73,500, which includes the donor F-150, and orders are open now. Actual deliveries should start by March at the latest, according to Hennessey. The company also plans to offer a similar package for EcoBoost F-150s later. Scroll down to read the full announcement about this muscle truck. Introducing the 2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged Texas tuner adds power and improved off-road capabilities to Ford's all-new aluminum bodied pick-up trucks December 16, 2014-For immediate release Sealy, Texas-For the past five years, Ford F-150 truck enthusiasts have had the special opportunity to own the SVT Raptor. With 411 hp and baja pre-runner capabilities, the Ford Raptor was one of the most capable 4x4's ever built. Sadly, Ford Raptor production has ended, leaving a void in the market for 2015.
Jeremy Clarkson chooses his top 10 cars for 2015 and 2016
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. With fall nearing, Clarkson put out a list of his top-10 cars from this year and 2015. Some on the list will surprise you, while others represent everything we've come to love about Clarkson. In order to make his list of star cars, the vehicles must offer what co-host James May calls "the fizz." The vehicles, Clarkson claims, have something that is out of the ordinary. 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. So which ones made the list? Head over to the column in The Sunday Times.
