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 |

Next-gen Ford Cobra Jet development underway, but will it be a Mustang?
Wed, 09 Oct 2013Ford might be stepping away from the NHRA, but it isn't abandoning drag racing altogether. Hot Rod says that Ford confirmed a next-gen Cobra Jet factory drag racer is in the works, but the report also speculates that a new Cobra Jet could switch away from the Mustang nameplate.
Even though talk of a new Cobra Jet coincides with the all-new 2015 Mustang, the lack of confirmation for the dragster's platform leaves Hot Rod to guess that the car might switch to another platform - specifically a front-drive-based, unibody car like the Fusion or Taurus. We'd hate to think of a world with a NASCAR-ized dragster from Ford Racing, but it's also highly unlikely that the Mustang Cobra Jet would step away from its quarter-mile rivals like the Chevy COPO Camaro and Dodge Challenger Drag Pak.
Ford Fusion getting substantial refresh for 2017
Wed, 13 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of years since Ford rolled out the current Fusion, but if these spy shots are anything to go by, it's already planning what appears to be a substantial update for the mid-size sedan.
According to our paparazzi on the ground, the new Fusion is being prepared for launch late in 2016 or early 2017. Although heavily camouflaged to keep it from prying eyes such as ours, it appears that the updated Fusion will tone down the Aston Martin-style grille, ditch the small corner window with revised front side glass and tweak the vehicle's overall shape. But there's more to the new Fusion than a styling adjustment, and our spy photographers have caught a glimpse inside and taken us along.
Apparently the new Fusion is to get a completely overhauled interior with soft-touch surfaces and matte wood trim to make it seem more upscale. There's an all-new rotary gear selector (like you'd find on a Jaguar, for example) hinting at the implementation of a new nine-speed automatic transmission. The prototype appears to be packing the Microsoft SYNC system, suggesting that the new Blackberry QNX system isn't ready quite yet - though that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be ready by the time the new Fusion is.
Ford Mustang challenges Lamborghini in amazing drift battle
Fri, Dec 18 2015Engines scream and tires billow with smoke as Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Daigo Saito stage a drift battle through an abandoned Japanese resort that looks like a Russian village in this stunning clip. The high-performance ballet of these amazing machines sliding around makes this one of the best videos of the year. To fight this duel, Gittin straps into his 550-horsepower Ford Mustang, and Saito meets the pony car's challenge with a drift-prepped Lamborghini Murcielago. The drivers hit a curving road and show expert car control as the men slide these very different vehicles just inches from each other. Eventually, night descends, and they add some fire to the scene to give the stunts a more apocalyptic look. The production values for this short clip are phenomenal, and the editing makes the viewer feel right in the middle of the action. If you want to get behind the scenes of this impressive display of drifting, Speedhunters did a great job capturing the event in photos. Related Video:
