1968 Fastback Ford Fairlane/torino on 2040-cars
Upatoi, Georgia, United States
This 1968 Fairlane is not perfect but it is a very nice weekend cruiser. I just completed working on this car. I spent two years bringing her back to life. She is a Factory AC Car with a freshly rebuilt 302 roller motor. It has a Trick Flow Stage one roller camshaft, Crane 1.7 roller rockers and GT 40 heads. Automatic was on Colum but now has a B&M floor shifter. C4 tranny with a 2000 stall converter with a custom built driveshaft attaching to a 4:11 8 inch posi traction rear end. The differential has clutches not a mini spool so she turns and drives as modern performance cars. New headliner, seat upholstery and carpet. Black interior. This car was just painted original 1968 Ford green ( it has a few small scratches /blemishes but it looks pretty darn good. Under car is VERY CLEAN. All pans, rails, torque boxes etc are original and nearly perfect! You just don't find a car that is rust free like this one very often. New chrome for front and rear bumpers and the trim is all there. Trim isn't perfect but it looks really good; the worst is the. The diff is new, motor is new, driveshaft is new, carpet is new, headliner is new, seat upholstery is new, bumpers both front and rear just triple chromed. The duel exhaust and headers are new, tires and rims are used but great shape factory correct except they have the Torino GT Emblems on them, the dash is a 9 out of 10. Also flushed fuel cell and installed new pick up tube. This was a 289 car but had a rod thru the block. I have a lot of time and money in this car. My price is far below what's been put in it; come take her home for Christmas. Drive her anywhere but remember she is geared for local cruising. AC system is all there but I have not attempted to charge it. One of the cables that control heat/cool is frozen up. This car does have power steering and works great. Overall this is a nice car that is fun to drive around on weekends and just cruising the neighborhood. She's got a little pep to her as well probably in the ball park of high 12s in the 1/4 mile.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
