Year:1968 Mileage:86000 Color: only

Southington, Connecticut, United States

Southington, Connecticut, United States

Selling my 1968 Ford Fairlane.  The vehicle was always stored inside, but at one time it was stored with the trunk exposed(Paint fading in trunk lid and trunk drops and lower quarter panels have rust). The Fairlane is all original other than the Driver's side front fender, which was replaced by a rust free original Fairlane fender.

  The car currently has a 1991 351w from an f-150.  The engine has a 4 barrel Elderbock intake but it's set up with a block plate to run a 2 barrel carb, it has a new timing chain, water pump,, thermostat and hoses.  I have the original engine to the car, but it's disassembled.  The original C-4 transmission works fine and the original 8 inch rear end also.  The car has working drum brakes(Non powered).

The interior is in mint shape, original dash  and seat covers without wear and tears.  Rear deck cover is also in one section and no speaker cut offs.  All original glass in great working condition.  Doors are rust free as the hood, trunk, fenders.  The vinyl top is nearly perfect. 

The underneath of the car is rust free other than a small 2 inch area in the rear drivers seat corner.  Front and rear frame rails look amazing as the radiator support and front frame rails. Torque boxes are solid.  Car has power steering and tires are ok. The front suspension is also solid.

The trunk has the original tank and the original jack. Trim is in descent condition but I am missing the driver's side fender nose trim.

I have one original CT title dated 1978 and numerous receipts.  I have a fair reserve and selling the car locally so I have the option to end the auction early.

The pictures speak for themselves and have many more available if need be.  Email me with your cell or e-mail if you want to see something specific.

Good luck and thank you for bidding.        Ruben.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Ford gives police chiefs tech to surveil officers in their own cars

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Police officers certainly have a difficult job in keeping the streets safe, but as public employees in positions of authority, there is still a very real need for oversight. To that end, Ford is partnering with a tech company to offer a new system called Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement on its line of Police Interceptor patrol vehicles that could make cops safer, while giving cities a better idea of what its officers are doing.
The system streams live data about cruisers back to the home base to people like the police chief or shift supervisor. That info includes expected things like speed, location and cornering acceleration, but it gets incredibly granular as well, with records of things like if emergency lights are on, or even if an officer is wearing a seatbelt.
Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement "ought to protect officers as much as it protects the public," said Ford spokesperson Chris Terry to Autoblog. Constantly monitoring patrol cars offers cities a lot of advantages, too. First, it reduces potential liability because a department can prove where each vehicle is at all times. Also, officers know they are being watched and may potentially drive more safely.

Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.
