This car was bought down south and brought to Michigan in the 1970s (has a Florida inspection sticker from 1974 in the front window). The previous owner brought the car up to restore. He started doing some body work on it, bought some new parts for it, had the seats recovered, but then unfortunately died in an accident. The car sat in his shop for close to 30 years until I bought it last year from the family. I stumbled across the car while looking for parts for my Galaxie. When I bought the car it had a 63 427 and c6 in it. the 63 427 is no longer in the car and is not included in this auction. The c6, however will be sold with the car. The transmission is hooked to a driveshaft which is also in the car. Ill be honest, the car looks sort of bad in the pics due to the previous owner starting to do body work, but Ill take you through this panel by panel. Floors/trunk: I put the car up on a hoist and can only find one spot-about 4x4" in the drivers side rear floor plan that has been repaired. The rest of the floor pans, from what I can tell, are original to the car. The trunk floor is about 85% solid. there are some rust perfs around the seams of the trunk and in the spare tire carrier. You could still carry your groceries home in the trunk, but they may get a little wet if you drove through a puddle. What I mean is the trunk floor is still solid but there are a few small holes that needed tending to. Frame: The frame is solid front to back. Car has the original 9 inch in it along with drum brakes all around. Doors: The doors appear to have been replaced which is why they are white. I have found no evidence of patching on them. The seams are nice and tight as well. Hood: The hood appears to have been replaced and is solid with no signs of repair or lip/seam rust Roof: The roof is solid with no signs of repair. Trunk lid: The trunk lid appears to have been replaced and is solid around the seams and on the outside. There are a few small holes along the area that meets the trunk seal. Definately could be repaird and reused. Fenders: The fenders were repainted and it looks like there was some body work on the lower portion of the drivers side. I scraped the paint off and it may have been leaded. The eyebrows are solid and unpatched as fas as I can tell. I have a another front clip that goes with the car. The fenders of the extra front clip have a lot of usable parts on them. Rear quarters/rockers: As can be seen in the pictures the rear quarters have had some work done to them on both sides. One side had a new patch welded in and then some fiberglass type material put over it (black material). The other side appears to have been sand blasted but never repaired. The red paint on the rear quarters is original. The car was originally red and white. The rockers are mostly solid with some repair being one (black material). I have replacement rocker panels and repair panels for the quarters. I would redo all the previously done body work. Radiator support/inner fenders: solid with no noticable signs of repair. The extra front clip has solid inner fenders but the radiator support has rust along the buttom Splash apron: solid with original silver paint still Glass: All of the glass is in good useable shape with no noticeable chips or cracks. The door glass is brand new still in PPG boxes. Trim/chrome; I have laid out all bits of trim and I have everything except for one piece for the rear pillar-at this time I cannot remember what side is what for. It may be there, as there are a lot of loose parts, but I wanted to mention this. All the trim is in good restorable shape. I have duplicats of a lot of pieces. I have 2 complete grills-the brown one on the car is straight but needs rechromed. I have a second one on another front clip that is also straight and shines a lot better. I have several front and rear bumper cores that are solid and straight but need rechromed. I have several emblems as well. Interior: The seats were redone in white vinyl with a red insert. Not sure what the red insert material is-almost feels like a plastic weeve. The seats were recoverd 30 years ago and never used. They would clean up real nice and have no tears or rips, but there are nicks along the piping from storage. The dash is complete and still in the car-including the original radio. I have a town and country radio that goes with the car (used for a core). I do not have the original door panels or rear interior panels. I do have some interior panels from other fairlanes though. I have all the door handles (inner and outer). I also have new carpet in a box (dont know how old it is). I have several tail light buckets, hubcaps, headlight buckets, NOS shocks, NOS brake pads, and a set of fender skirts that go with the car. When I bought the car the engine was in it and hooked up. The car will have a c6 transmission, a driveshaft, a radiator, and power steering pump still. Again, no engine is included in this sale. The car is being sold on a bill of sale and with no reserve. Ive debated about selling this car, had an opportunity to sell it, decided not to sell it, but now its time to let it go. I have too many horses in the stable and just dont feel like feeding them all anymore. I would recommend anyone interested in the car to review it in person. Overall it is a solid and straight car. If I didnt have so many other projects I would definately keep it.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive is a rock star, FedEx tests electric trucks
Thu, Oct 2 2014The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive is in a new music video for I Lived by OneRepublic. The band's singer, Ryan Tedder, has also been brought on as a brand ambassador for the German automaker. OneRepublic will also be performing the song at the Mercedes-Benz Media Night on the eve of the Paris Motor Show. No word if Mercedes plans to offer hordes of screaming teenage fans as an option package with the B-Class Electric Drive. See the video (the car shows up around the four-minute mark) or read more in the press release below. FedEx is testing converted electric delivery trucks with diesel range extenders. Looking to shrink its carbon footprint, the company has converted a handful of trucks as part of a pilot program. In addition to battery packs, each truck is equipped with diesel turbine generators (supplied by Ian Wright's company, Wrightspeed) to provide electricity when the battery is depleted. Because the diesel motors aren't powering the vehicle directly, they can continuously run at their most efficient speed, making the trucks about twice as efficient as those powered by traditional means. Read more at Wired. Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150 will be 5 to 20 percent more efficient, the company says. The fuel economy gains depend on the particular version of the truck, but the biggest improvement will likely come from the 3.5-liter V6 and the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6. Automotive News predicts the F-150 SFE to be rated at 21 mpg city/28 highway/23 combined, which are identical figures to the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. The result could be a noteworthy fuel economy battle between Ford and Ram trucks. Learn more at Automotive News. The US Department of Energy is providing $25 million in funding toward reducing the price of algal biofuels. The goal is to get the price of these renewable fuels below $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019, and less than $3 per gge by 2030. The money will fund projects to develop better algal cultures that produce biofuel and other useful bioproducts, and projects to boost biomass productivity. The DOE says it wants to help develop a "bioeconomy" that provides jobs, helps the environment and ensures energy security. Read more at Energy.gov. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford names Lincoln chief as North American president following Nair's departure
Thu, Feb 22 2018Ford announced yesterday that its North American president Raj Nair would no longer be working for the company due to "inappropriate behavior." As a result, the company needed fill that gaping vacancy. The new North American president and Ford Group vice president will be Kumar Galhotra, and his term in the new role will start on March 1. Galhotra will remain the group vice president and chief marketing officer for Lincoln through March, meaning he's the head of the luxury brand. He's had this position since 2014. Before that, he was vice president of engineering for all of Ford. With Galhotra's promotion, a number of internal promotions follow. Joy Falotico, current chairman, CEO and group vice president of Ford's credit division will fill Galhotra's position, and Dave McClelland, vice president of marketing for Ford Asia Pacific, will fill her role. Other shuffling at Ford includes Stewart Rawley's promotion to vice president for Ford North America and chief operating officer. He is the current vice president for strategy at Ford. Ford China's chairman and CEO John Lawler will take Rawley's old role, and Cathy O'Callaghan will take over Lawler's job at Ford China, but not until June 1. O'Callaghan is currently vice president, corporate controller and chief financial officer for global markets at Ford. Related Video:
Verizon buys Telogis in connected vehicle market push
Wed, Jun 22 2016(Note/disclaimer: We are owned by Verizon, by way of AOL. This gives us no inside track whatsoever when it comes to news.) With a lot of tech companies and automakers staking their claims in the connected car space, now there are signs that others are looking to move in, too. Today, telecoms giant Verizon announced that it is acquiring Telogis, a California-based company that develops cloud-based solutions for mobile workforces, and specifically telematics, compliance and navigation software used by Ford, Volvo, GM and other car companies, as well as Apple and AT&T. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, although we'll try to find out. Considering that Verizon in 2015 reported full-year revenues of $131.6 billion, the price would have to be very high to be considered "material" and may not be made public for some time, if ever. Telogis in its time as a startup raised a substantial amount of money, just over $126 million in all, including $93 million in 2013, supposedly ahead of an IPO, all from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Back in 2013 when KPCB made its investment (which was the first from a VC firm in the company), Telogis told TechCrunch it was profitable and forecasting revenues of $100 million annually for the year. It's not clear what size those revenues are now, but if it was on the same growth trajectory as before the funding, sales would be around $150 million annually, with profitability, at the moment. Other investors include some very notable strategics: the investment arm of General Motors, and Fontinalis Partners, which also invests in Lyft and was co-founded by Bill Ford, the executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company. Before the acquisition, Verizon actually had a business in fleet management and telematics; in fact, the two companies competed against each other for business from the trucking and other industries. Verizon Telematics, as the business is called, is active in 40 countries. But in a way, Verizon buying Telogis is a sign that the latter may have proved to be the more superior, and the one with the key customer deals.
