Sacramento, California, United States
|
1957 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door hardtop Believed to be a matching number, original car, 1owner. You are bidding on well known California Blues Guitarist Steve Samuels car that was featured on his band Redwing's first album cover. Our car club acquired this car from his family after his passing in June, as a project car or for fund raising. The father and son project originally planned did not work out and we are selling the car to help fund our clubs work shop. Here is what we know about the car: It is currently licensed and drive-able in California we have driven the car around and it starts and runs very well every thing seems to work including the overdrive transmission. The car appears to still have the original 312 Y Block Thunderbird engine with 4BBL carburetor. Upholstery while seriously in poor condition appear to be original as is the radio. As it spent much of its life on the coast of southern California it does as shown have some rust issues in the rocker panels as well as the front floor pans. It is missing one piece of trim, there is damage to one headlight and the interior needs replacement. Most if not all of the rust problems can be fixed with replacement panels currently available for these cars. We know it was Steve's dream to restore the car and there is a trunk full of spare parts and some of the parts that appear to be missing. It is my personal opinion that this is one of the most beautifully conceived and designed cars Ford Motor company ever built and it does deserve a full restoration especially in light of its history. We can help with getting this vehicle shipped any where in the world and are happy to do so. Thanks you for looking please do not hesitate to ask questions and good luck bidding. |

Watch NASCAR racer Brad Keselowski do a burnout... in a hotel conference room
Fri, 08 Mar 2013A vast majority of hotels frown upon smoking inside the building these days, but Brad Keselowski doesn't follow the rules. During his introduction at the 2013 MiilerCoors Distribution Convention, the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion smoked the tires of his Miller-sponsored Ford Fusion stock car, adding a pair of thick, black stripes to the carpeting of the Marriott World Center's conference room.
This definitely isn't a high-quality video, but it's the perfect vantage point to watch Keselowski lay down some rubber and receive a well-deserved standing ovation after pulling up in front of the crowd. Check out the short-but-sweet video posted below.
Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany
Sat, 29 Jun 2013Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.
Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
