THIS CAR JUST CAME OUT OF 15 YEARS OF STORAGE.  THE BODY IS PRETTY SOLID AND WAS REPAINTED THE ORIGINAL BLACK.  IT STILL HAS A DECENT SHINE.

THE FLOORS HAVE HAD SOME WORK IN THE PAST AND HAVE A FEW SPOTS OF RUST ON THEM.  THEY ARE NOT BAD AND THERE ARE NO STRUCTURAL ISSUES.  THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AND REAR WINDOW ARE IN VERY NICE CONDITION. THEY WERE REPLACED RIGHT BEFORE THE CAR WENT INTO STORAGE.  THE BUMPERS AND TRIM ARE IN NICE CONDITON, BUT NOT SHOW QUALITY. THERE ARE SOME MINOR MARKS HERE AND THERE ON THE TRIM. IT IS NOT NOTICEABLE FROM 5 FEET AWAY. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP OPERATES EASILY MANUALLY.  THE TOP DOES NOT FUNCTION WITH THE SWITCH. IM NOT SURE IF ITS A FUSE, PUMP, LINE OR WHATEVER, NEVER LOOKED INTO IT. OPERATES EASILY.

THE INTERIOR IS IN NICE CONDITION. THE SEATS, CARPET AND DOOR PANELS WERE ALSO REPLACED PRIOR TO  STORAGE. THE DASH AND GAUGES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE ALSO.  THE POWER SEAT DOES WORK. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WORK.  ALL TURN SIGNALS, AND LIGHTS WORK. ALL OF THE WINDOWS OPERATE AS THEY SHOULD.


THE ENGINE IS  A 292 V8. IT HAS A 2 SPEED AUTO TRANSMISSION. THE CAR RUNS, DRIVES AND STOPS FINE. IT PROBABLY DOES NEED A GOOD TUNE - UP.  THE ENGINE DOES NOT SMOKE, IS QUIET, AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FINE.  THE BRAKE LINES WERE REPLACED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.  FRAME IS SOLID.  THE TIRES ON THE CAR ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL HUBCAPS. THE CAR HAS 68,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS OWNED BY THE SAME FAMILY FOR 35+ YEARS.


THIS IS A VERY NICE CAR TO RESTORE OR DRIVE IT AS - IS.  THE CAR IS DECENT AND LOOKS GOOD. YOU WOULDNT BE EMBARASSED TO DRIVE IT THE WAY IT IS. THIS FAIRLANE IS ALL THERE, VERY COMPLETE AND WOULD MAKE SOMEONE A DECENT CAR.  IT DOES NEED A GOOD DETAILING. THERE ARE SOME EXTERIOR TRIM AND ODD PARTS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE SALE.

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.

Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...

Bonhams to auction Carroll Shelby's prototypes and personal cars

Fri, Apr 6 2018

Fans of Carroll Shelby will want to make their way to Greenwich, Conn., this June, because Bonhams will be selling a great many cars from the man's personal collection. And many of them are the first of their kind, marking important milestones in Shelby's career. One of those important cars is a 1982 Dodge Charger prototype, which might not look as impressive as a Cobra, but it was important in that it was the first car on which Shelby collaborated with Chrysler. That car led to the first Shelby Charger, as well as other special small Chryslers including the GLH Omnis and Chargers (GLH standing for "Goes Like Hell"). In fact, the first Charger GLH-S (Goes Like Hell S'more) is also part of this collection. There are even some prototypes up for auction that never resulted in a production car, such as a Shelby modified Dodge Ram. That one is probably our favorite: the gold ram hood ornament, the huge pentastar in the grille, the double-barrel truck horn on the roof. It's wonderful nonsense. Of course it isn't just Chryslers going up for sale. There are a couple of GT500 and GT350 Mustangs in the mix from a variety of years. Perhaps most interesting is the very first Shelby Series I, Shelby's ill-fated roadster designed from the ground-up by the Texan's company. Unlike the other early Series I models, Shelby's had a supercharger, which led to a supercharger option being offered later. You can check out the full list of cars below, and pictures of each one in the gallery at the top. The auction will happen on June 3, and every vehicle offered has no reserve, so they'll all be sold for whatever price is shown at the drop of the gavel. 1927 Ford Model T 1931 Ford Model A 1935 Chrysler Airflow Sedan 1955 DeSoto Hard Top 1966 Shelby GT350 Convertible 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible 1968 Shelby GT350 1969 Shelby GT 500 previously owned by Jackie Cooper Jr. 1969 Shelby GT 500 1982 Shelby Charger Prototype 1983 De Tomaso Pantera 1983 Dodge/Shelby Pickup Concept 1987 DeTomaso GT5-S 1987 Dodge CSX Serial #1 1987 Shelby Charger GLH-S Serial #1 1987 Dodge Shelby Lancer Serial #1 1988 Dodge Shelby Dakota Prototype 1989 Dodge CSX VNT Serial #1 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 Continuation 1999 Shelby Series 1 Serial #1 2008 Shelby GT 500 KR 2011 Shelby GT 500 Super Snake Aurora Race Car Related Video: Featured Gallery Shelby Collection View 72 Photos Image Credit: Bonhams Chrysler Dodge Ford Auctions Performance Classics shelby
