You are bidding on a barn fresh 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 4 door sedan. This car was put into a steel building in April of 1994 until I discovered her and brought her back to daily driver status. This car has been very well preserved. The following parts are all brand new: battery, points, condenser, coil, plugs, gas tank, fuel pump, tires, master cylinder rebuilt, brakes, changed oil, air filter, added new trans fluid, gear oil, coolant, and one new headlight. The glass in this car is in great shape - no cracks in any of it. It is 1950's double pane so it has the standard yellowing glue on the edges. Very little rust anywhere. The front fenders have rust on the bottom corner (patch pieces are available for around $60.00 each - easy repair) the rockers are very solid with only a small amount of rust in on the very rear, the lower rear quarters have pretty light rust and patch panels are also available online but may not really be needed. The worst rust is the trunk right at the body mounts behind the wheels (a small sheet of 18ga steel and 30 minutes of welding will fix this) and a body mount under the passenger floor panel is getting rusty. The spare tire cavity is perfect and rust free (this is a very common area of rust on these cars). The car had a factory undercoating so it is in remarkably good condition all around. It has dual exhaust with glass pack mufflers and new chrome tips. It rides pretty good but could use an updated suspension (perfect candidate for an air ride system) - I am currently driving it to work and back everyday so it is certainly road worthy. The engine runs smooth, idles good, accelerates, cruises on the highway. The interior is in good shape as well. The front seat is starting to get thin and the foam is hard but the back seat is in great shape. I installed brand new period correct seat belts in the back for the kids but the front does not have any. The carpet needs to be replaced but it is mostly there. The headliner is stained and has a couple small holes but it isn't falling down - still tight. The entire dashboard and gauges look like they came off the assembly line yesterday. These cars only have 5 digit odometers so it impossible to verify milage but I know this: there is an oil change sticker inside the drivers door from 1970 and the mileage is listed at 44,658. There is another oil change card on the dash from 1978 and the mileage is 53,641. I believe it likely has 156,000 miles on it because it does burn some oil (blue smoke) but it could be worn valve seats from sitting 20+ years. The guy I bought it from said the previous owner wasn't driving it but he drove it home from there. I believe he took the missing front trim pieces for another car he had then put it into storage in 92. Sorry for the long post just trying to be accurate & detailed. This is a great running car, a survivor, and it is great to have it back on the road. Bid, win then take it to the next level with a full restore, air bag it with some gold rims, or just drive it as the time capsule that it is. Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks for looking.

Ford debuts Fusion NASCAR racer that edges closer to stock [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013The sixth-generation NASCAR Sprint Cup racecar, which will make its competition debut at the 2013 Daytona 500 this weekend, marks the closest thing to a "stock car" that the sport has seen in more than 20 years. No longer using just stickers to distinguish the different brands, the image above shows the lengths NASCAR and automakers went in order to create a racecar design that more closely resembles the individual cars they represent.
Ford, one of the more open and vocal OEMs regarding the Gen6 car's development, is giving us a closer look at its racing version of the Fusion with a pretty revealing side-by-side comparison with last years' racer (click above for an expanded view). Aside from the more realistic front end and production-like body lines, the overall shape, dimensions and proportions have also been designed to give the racecar a more stock appearance. Most of the new racer was designed by the Ford Design Center, which the automaker says was the first time it has been so involved in the design process since the 1960s. Of course, one area the Sprint Cup Fusion really differs from the production Fusion is its Ford Racing 5.8-liter V8 producing around 850 hp. Can you say Fusion SVT?

Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.
