1956 Ford Fairlane I have owned this car for 2 years and purchased it from a family friend. It's an older restoration but has been well taken care of. Frenched headlights,dummy spotlights,49-51 ford flared fender skirts, good tires, lakepipes mounted through fenders, fuel access in trunk,1960 Dodge tail Lights, duel antennas, dual exhaust with glass packs, louvered hood. All lights work including turn signals. I drive this car to work daily and it is super reliable. I had new brakes put on about a month ago, and before that I installed a new aluminum radiator. This ride has plenty of power with it's 429 BBF with a C6 trans. Has great oil pressure, never overheats. As you can see it sits real low but not too low. 4 inch blocks in the back, springs cut in the front, still rides pretty smooth. The interior looks good but I would update it if you want perfection. Gets lot's of attention everywhere I go and gets plenty complements. She's a real head turner! This car is a good candidate to either restore, or drive it the way it is. I want to be clear that this car has flaws. There is are minor rust bubbles appearing on the bottom front corners of the doors. The only glass that needs replaced is the passenger rear quarter window. It rolls up and down fine. The floor boards are solid inside the car and in the trunk. Ask questions before bidding, not after the fact! I'll be happy to answer them. |

Are you Ford's next Bullitt Mustang? [w/poll]
Thu, 27 Mar 2014Ford has a long history of offering special editions of its legendary Mustang. One of the most vaunted of those trim packages, though, has only been offered twice. The first time was in 2001, and then again in 2008. Yes, we're talking about the Bullitt.
Named for the infamous Dark Highland Green Mustang Fastback driven by Steve McQueen in the 1968 cop melodrama Bullitt, the car was famous for not just its pilot, but the high-speed chase it took part in during the movie. Now, we think we have images of the next Bullitt.
According to our spy photographers, the paint is a "dead-ringer" for the Dark Highland Green that has signified these special edition Mustangs. While we're inclined to agree, it's also worth pointing out that this shade looks very similar to one of the 2015's other new colors, Guard. We've yet to see one on the road (let alone in such dreary conditions), so it's tough to say for certain.
Ford recalling nearly 5,700 2014 F-150s for power steering issue
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Ford is recalling 5,675 of its 2014 F-150 pickups over an issue with the electric power steering system. There haven't been any injuries or accidents due to the issue.
Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Autoblog that the "electric power-assisted steering and motor position sensor gear were incorrectly installed by a supplier," leading to the recall.
While the recall is larger on the surface, it's important to note that only 260 trucks have been delivered to customers. The remaining pickups are currently en route to dealers. The affected vehicles were manufactured between May 26 and June 19.
Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here
Fri, 07 Mar 2014A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.
