This is a rare car and will make a great restoration project for the experienced or newbie. This auction is for a 1969 Torino, Fairlane 500, fastback. The car is complete and has the number matching engine and transmission. The car currently does not run and I have not had the engine and tranny inspected by a shop. They are there, the numbers match and they appear complete. The car is sound for its age and does not have alot of cancer in it or much rust on the frame rails. The roof, quarters, and fenders appear solid. There is a bad spot on the passenger side door skin that will need repaired, and one on the rear deck on the passenger side. Both are not to hard to fix. The floors in the car have suface rust but dont appear to need any new metal, I have not looked in the trunk yet to see what its condition is. I am guessing that it is ok as all the seals on the car seem good. The doors are tight with no sag in them and open and shut smooth and firm. The hood opens and closes good but does have a small dent spot along the drivers side. The car is in Original condition with 90 percent of the trim for the car on it. The original motor is a 302, with an Automatic transmission. As stated I have not tried to start the car at all, I am sure it will need some sort of work but to get it going but am unsure of what it would take. All the gages and interior are there with the exception of the passenger side door pannel, I dont know where it went and will update the auction should I find it in the trunk later today when I go check. The car does have the Fairlane 500 badges, and has good options on it. If you need more info, pics, ect please feel free to give me a call, this is one of about 300 old cars and truckis that I will be listing for a friend of mine who used to own a salvage yard, my number is 360-295-0886 (Sean) Vader Automotive. I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime should I receive an acceptable offer as the car as it is for sale locally also. There are not many of these old fastbacks left, now is the time to buy and restore yours. To help save the new owner some money we may be able to deliver the car anywhere in the US as well as to any shipping port of call for overseas buyers, however, ALL Shipping costs are to be paid by the buyer. We would be at a lot cheaper rate then the shipping companys, but will need fuel and expenses covered. I will be taking more pictures later today and will add them tonight to the auction. Let me know what your looking for, we may just have it. Please don't call asking for parts, we do have a few that will be sold as parts cars but as a rule we don't sell parts. As I said above I will be listing several other classic project cars (and a couple restored ones) soon. a few of the are listed below, Thanks

Automakers' rush on aluminum may result in shortage
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Aluminum is the new buzzword in the automotive industry. The latest Range Rover and Range Rover Sport both take advantage of the lightweight material to shave huge amounts of body fat (only it's called "aluminium" over there). Audi and Jaguar have been using the stuff for years in their A8 and XJ, respectively, and now, aluminum is going mainstream, arriving on the 2015 Ford F-150.
While we're excited to see aluminum make an impact outside the premium market, its widespread adoption apparently won't come without some problems, notably in terms of supply. "There isn't an automotive manufacturer that makes vehicles in North America that we're not talking to," Tom Boney, of Novelis, the largest global supplier of aluminum sheetmetal, told The Detroit News.
According to Boney, Ford's use of aluminum on such a large scale has forced auto manufacturers in "every boardroom" to reconsider their plans following the F-150's unveiling, for one simple reason: there's not exactly enough aluminum to go around, at least in the short term. The auto industry presently only accounts for six percent of the aluminum sheet produced, but as the material is adopted by more and more brands, that figure is expected to swell to 25 percent within the next six years.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list
Tue, 09 Jul 2013The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.
