1962 Ford Fairlane - Very Low Miles on 2040-cars
Lohman, Missouri, United States
"CAUTION" THIS MAY BE ADDICTIVE VERY LOW MILES
Cruising in this totally original absolutely rust free 1962 Fairlane may be habit forming. Actual 41,000 low miles and it shows. I just acquired it from the gentleman who had his eye on this classic for over 25 years. Finally was able to buy and add to his other cars. After spending a bunch on plugs, points, cap, rotor, ignition wires, carb kit, fuel filter, new gas line and remove, clean and coat inside and outside of gas tank plus labor, decided the fun maxed out. He decided to sell it to me. (Maybe because it still ran a little rough?) Anyway, I discovered and corrected an ignition wiring issue and now it purrs better than our cat. Fixed a tear and seam in the front seat, replaced the gear shift knob, played with it a little and now it's headed for your place. Don't forget to bid first. I have the original Bill of Sale from the Ford Dealer in Missouri to the original owner in Lohman, Missouri where it is still located. The paint is original, never painted, just some light primer over some very thin paint areas on hood and right fender. Could be buffed out, painted or with some paint thinner, wipe off the primer for the patina look, it's optional. Has all original interior including rubber floor mats in excellent condition. The headliner is not as nice as the seats and door panels, they look excellent. Still has the cardboard heater operation instructions hanging from the heater controls (however, heater hoses are currently bypassed in the engine compartment.) Trunk sports the original mat, tire and bumper jack. Doors, hood and trunk lid open and close like new. All the sheet metal is lazer straight and rust free as is the entire under carriage. Looks like it was accident free also. Tires look new but they are not. Some one loved and cared for this 1962 Fairlane since new and now it's up to you to carry on and enjoy this for years to come and watch your investment grow. Ask questions or come look. That's free! I always recommend trailering to avoid issues. Please don't bid if you have "0" feed back or negative feedback until you contact me first with some information to indicate that you are a serious bidder so that your bid will not be disqualified. Sorry but there are some who just play games. |

Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it
Fri, 11 Apr 2014Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.
Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma top ASG list of most eco-friendly trucks
Mon, Mar 31 2014No one's going to confuse the massively popular Ford F-150 pickup truck with a green vehicle, but at least it performs well in an environmental sense when compared to its brethren. The Automotive Science Group (ASG) took on the odd (to us, at least) task of measuring which pickup trucks are friendliest to the environment and found that the big seller in the Blue Oval's flagship F-series came up big, while the Toyota Tacoma came up, well, slightly smaller. That's a good thing. Among the 245 light-duty trucks that ASG studied, the 3.7-liter V6-powered F-150 won ASG's award for full-size trucks for both regular and crew cabs. Meanwhile, the 2.7-liter Toyota Tacoma, with its fuel-economy rating of 23 miles per gallon combined, had smallest overall life-cycle carbon footprint and won ASG's two mid-sized categories. Finally, the Chevrolet Silverado won best all-around performance in the full-size extended-cab category. The ASG factored in eco-friendliness, price and social performance (which is measured by, "considering the rights of those charged with vehicle manufacture and assembly") to come up with its findings. Sales of Ford's F-Series trucks rose 8.4 percent last year to 74,592 units and accounted for more than a third of the total 2013 sales of Ford and its Lincoln unit. Check out the ASG's press release below. Truck Buyers Faced With "Eco" Options Galore Which 2014 full-size trucks warrant eco claims? 25 March 2014 [Santa Rosa, CA] – With a myriad of eco-branded trucks hitting the North American marketplace in 2014 – from Ford's EcoBoost and GM's EcoTec3 to Ram's latest addition, the EcoDiesel – the Automotive Science Group (ASG) was prompted to offer an objective, scientifically-based assessment to determine exactly which 2014 trucks actually earn their "eco" badge. According to ASG and the principles of ecological economics, a vehicle's eco-rating must be multi-faceted to include both environmental and economic considerations, and so the Group's proprietary rating platform – the Automotive Performance Index – does just that. Using a unique combination of vehicle data inputs that include conventional specifications as well as social, environmental and economic performance indicators, ASG's vehicle assessments empower consumers to make choices based on one's personal principles and financial requisites.
This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]

They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.
