Holden, Missouri, United States
1959 Ford Fairlane Skyliner Retractable This is not your grandfather's Skyliner. All the heavy lifting has been done over the last 10 years, so if you like to tinker this might be right up your driveway. Some updates include: * 352 motor with pointless distributor *New ignition modules, coil, plugs, wires and carb *Motor has no clicks clacks, knocks, smoke or leaks *Runs even and purrs at idle *Fuel pump, filters, hoses and clamps *Die hard battery *Power steering pump *U-joints *Dual exhaust (left side donut leaks) *Complete brake job *Heater core and hoses *3-spd automatic transmission - NO slipping, shifts positive *Tires are 90% *Top goes up and down when operated ALL MAJOR COMPONENTS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. Shop manual is included for the handy or Jerry's Classics in Arkansas specializes in Retractables. I highly recommend them for parts/labor. Good honest shop. The body is solid, straight, blocked and painted with yellow/black 2K primar sealer. An added bit of aged patina enhanced the theme of the car. Professional body work and paint have held up well over the years. This old iron still has the original floor and trunk pans. Never was a rust bucket. If your looking for something different, a one of a kind show stopper that you'll never see at any car show, you should consider it - not only for its investment grade (only 12519 built), but you'll get more bang for your buck and "that's cool man" comments, then the trailer queen beside it. I guarantee it. Mabeline has unfortunately been parked for the last couple of years and only run occasionally due to health reasons, but it has never failed to start up and go. Starts, Runs, and Stops. The car needs to be enjoyed, driven and loved to make her happy again, so it's time to find a good Ford family to refresh her. Now I'm getting misty so I will leave it at that. If you have any questions please feel free to call me anytime. Happy highways everyone. -Gary- I am listing this for a buddy, so please DO NOT EMAIL!!! You can reach Gary at 816-716-7086 |

Focus STs for SEMA include Lotus and Gulf liveries, rally-fied police car
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Ford, as we mentioned on Saturday, is pulling out all the stops for November's SEMA show, bringing 57 vehicles to the Las Vegas event. Ford will be staggering the release of its SEMA flotilla, though, so expect to hear a lot about the new additions to the fleet in the weeks to come. We already showed you the Fiesta, Fiesta ST and Mustang models that made up the first batch of SEMA cars. Next up, we have a quartet of modded Focus STs joining Ford's SEMA roster.
Our first Focus ST (pictured above) sports the legendary livery of Gulf Racing. The orange-on-blue scheme, which Ford helped make famous at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has been updated for 2013, with a more vibrant blue. This ST was built by Universal Technical Institute, while the exterior was done by Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition. Side exhausts, a Vortech supercharger and a Motiv Concepts high-flow cat allow the ST to breathe a bit easier, while Forgestar wheels contrast well with the iconic paint scheme.
Focus ST number two has been done-up by PM Lifestyle and is inspired by "Southern California car culture." Sporting a sleek, pale blue paint job, there's also no shortage of carbon fiber on the car's exterior. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine has been massaged by the likes of Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing, while the suspension is wearing a shiny, new set of coilovers and sway bars. The meaty brakes, tucked behind 19-inch, Rotiform wheels, come from Wilwood, while the cabin has been fitted with a pair of Sparco Chrono seats and five-point, Schroth harnesses.
Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Think of mid-engined supercars and your mind is bound to gravitate towards Europe, but the United States has been known to make a handful from time to time - exceptional vehicles from the likes of Vector, SSC, Mosler, Hennessey, and Saleen. But long before any of those came around, Ford famously became obsessed with beating Ferrari at its own game, leading to the development of the iconic GT40.
The story is well known, sending Ford to the checkered flag at Le Mans four times in a row in the late 1960s. Ford and Shelby also built over 100 for public consumption, but just four of them were roadsters. Of those only one remains in original condition, and now that exceedingly rare example going up for auction.
Consigned to RM Auctions for its mid-August sale during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, California, this 1965 model is the first GT40 Roadster built. It was used as a development and demonstration vehicle for Ford and Shelby. Carroll Shelby himself drove Henry Ford II in this very car during one of many test and demo events, this time held for Ford's board of directors in Los Angeles.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
