Offered up for sale is my 1957 Ford fairlane 500 2 door project car. I pulled this car out of a warehouse where it had been sitting for about 6 years. The previous owner had intentions of restoring the car but lost interest over time and it just sat. This is a good car to put some time and money into you can make it real sharp with a little work. The previous owner tells me the engine is a 390 FE from a mid 60's thunderbird I have never checked the numbers to confirm that. he also told me the trans was recently rebuilt before he parked it and it looks like it from the outside. After I purchased it I soaked the engine cylinders with marvel for about two weeks before checking to see if the motor was free which it was. I then put on a new carb, complete distributor, battery, starter solenoid, voltage regulator, fuel pump and coil. The wiring under the hood was in sad shape so I constructed my own harness just to get into run and removed the ignition switch from the dash so I can start it from the fender. I also have it running from a gas can I am sure the tank should be replaced or boiled out. I got the car running again and it runs pretty good. It does get a lifter tick from time to time but that is probably from sitting and needs to pump up. I have only ran it for a few minutes never attemted to drive it because of the brakes. I removed the master cylinder and booster because the pedal was frozen soild from sitting. I have done nothing else to the brakes. I have four new wheel cylinders and new front hoses that will come with the car but you will need to get a master for it. You can purchase one from speedway automotive with the power booster for about $150.00 The body looks decent it is not a barret jackson show car paint job but more of a driver quality job. the body seems real solid the floors look good as well from what i can see from underneath. It did have some rocker panel work and I am sure it has some bondo. The frame looks good as well from what I can see on the ground. I do have the rear quarter panel trim that is not on the car and it will come with it. I do have a front bumper that will come with the car but I do not have the rear, you can get one from bumper boyz the bumper I have will need rechroming. I also have aquired the missing interior window trim you will see in the trunk photo which comes with the car. The interior has had the seats redone, new door panels, rug and headliner the missing door handles are in the glove box. The car has a factory town and country radio still in the dash as well. This was an original spotlight equipeed car so it still has the hole in the dash but I do not have the spotlight for it. This is a great project car for someone with mechanical ability it is a real solid starting point. I would much rather start with something like this that some rustbucket pulled out of the woods. Someone is going to get a heck of a deal here and with some money and time could have a $15000 car easily. But like I said earlier this is not a frame off barret jackson restoration it is an unfinished attempt of a enthusiast resto. This must have been a sharp car when new if you decode the vin tag it was a woodsmoke grey with grey interior powered by a 245 hp 4 bbl 312 y-block. I do have a clear NC title for this car in my name I am not a dealer, do not offer financing, am not interested in any trades. The only reason I am selling this car is I need the space not the money, I just purchased a 55 Chevy Gasser that is sitting at a freids house until this car sells. If it does not sell I will just stick it in a storage unit but I would hate to do that. It has sat for long enough I would rather it got finished and back on the road. Please remember with the transportation for the car it is not drivable it will need to be winched onto whatever is picking it up. Please be sure to read my terms and conditions below and ask any questions BEFORE BIDDING I thank you for looking at my auction and may you have a blessed day.

Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
Can an actual Ford F-150 ride on 4 Power Wheels F-150s?
Tue, Dec 9 2014A lot of kids are rough on their toys, especially when it comes to those made to be used outside, like a four-wheeled kid-size Power Wheels. Whether it's cruising through the sand box, carrying piles of rocks in the driveway or crashing around trees in the backyard, these motorized vehicles often take punishment from the moment the giftwrap comes off. The folks at Fisher-Price decided to give their latest F-150 Power Wheels a true torture test worse than any kid could have ever managed by setting a real 2015 Ford F-150 on top of four of them. Would the little toy trucks explode in a shower of plastic shards in a massive collapse, and if not, could they drive away afterwards? The latest F-150 might be 700 pounds lighter thanks to the switch to aluminum, but it's still a fullsize pickup. According to this clip, the truck weighs in at 4,120 pounds, which puts an average of 1,030 pounds on each of the toys. Check out the video above to see how the stunt goes, and click on the gallery below for some behind-the-scenes looks at the setup.
2015 Ford Focus Sedan is fresh-faced and ready to defend its Most Popular crown
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has made an art of deeper-than-normal midlife updates since the 2010 Fusion, a strategy that has allowed it to keep models looking fresher in showrooms for longer without needing full redesigns. Instead of slight touchups to light fixtures, new paint colors and perhaps new wheel patterns, Ford has been digging deeper, with significant sheetmetal changes and very different front-end looks, along with an increased emphasis on new in-car technologies to keep models vibrant. Other automakers are following this trend, and Ford itself is continuing on the path with this new 2015 Focus Sedan.
There's a handsome new SE Sport Package that includes a firmer touring suspension, modest body kit and 17-inch wheels.
We first saw this sleek Aston Martin-like nose fitted to a Focus at the Geneva Motor Show last month, but Ford only showed the new look on the five-door hatchback - this is the first appearance of the sedan, which will bow at next week's New York Auto Show. The front end treatment is the same, with a new hood, new headlamps incorporating LED accents, a different grille shape and a completely revised lower fascia that does away with the 2014 model's controversial triangle-shaped corners and gaping intakes. The rear gets a new two-piece, laser-brazed trunk lid with new taillamps, but the overall look is quite similar to last year's car. In any case, the refreshed look brings the Focus sedan more in line with the design of Ford's other recently reworked cars, including the Fusion and Fiesta.
