1964 Ford Fairlane 500 four door sedan.  This car was stored in a dairy barn since 1979.  The gentleman that originally owned the vehicle replaced the original 260 V8 engine with a 289 Special that he had acquired from a wrecked low mileage 65-66 Mustang.  The reason he changed the engine was because the original 260 threw its oil pump through the oil pan.  The car has not run since 1979 and appears to be very solid.  The floors and the trunk compartment are solid with no rust through.  The front fenders have some minor rust holes coming in the lower sections.  The inner fender at the battery box is rusted out, but all the shock towers are solid with not signs of visible rust.  The left rear quarter panel was damaged in the late 1970s, and the owner attempted to beat the fender back out.  There is no sign of rot in the rear quarters.  The under carriage including all boxed framing appears to be solid and complete.  There are some parts missing from the car and I have no idea what the gentleman did with the parts.  The parts that are missing from what I can see is the master cylinder, power steering pump, headlight bezels, hubcaps, spare tire, jack, and the grille.  Although there is a grille in the trunk which is in good condition, it appears the grille is from a 1963 Fairlane rather than the 64.  There is an extra set of taillights in the trunk as well as a few other parts that goes with the vehicle.  All of the glasses are in good shape, but the exhaust system has deteriorated.  The car is not running and has not been started since 1979, so please be advised that this is not a vehicle that someone can drive away.  It will require towing and time to get it back into running condition.  I am including enough pictures to give an accurate depiction of the overall condition of the vehicle.  Please take the time to study the pictures and ask questions prior to bidding.  All questions will be answered honestly and as accurately as possible.

The vehicle is currently being sold as-is and where-is with no warranty implied or expressed.  Make sure to ask any and all questions prior to bidding on this vehicle.  A deposit of $200.00 dollars will be required within 3 days from the close of auction.  The buyer is responsible for shipping and transport.  The high bidder can make additional arrangements with seller if both agree.  Full payment is required within 7 days of auction's close.  Cash or Cashiers Check/Money Order.

Hertz Penske GT latest hot Ford Mustang at the rental counter

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

Just a couple days after announcing the resurrection of its Rent-A-Racer program, Hertz has revealed a new car being added to its Adrenalin Collection of rental cars. To signify its new partnership with Penske Racing in NASCAR, Hertz introduced a limited-edition version of the Ford Mustang GT, officially called the Hertz Penske GT, at last weekend's NASCAR races in Daytona. If you're like us, the rental specials remind with the original 1966 Shelby GT350-H and its later homage, the 2006 Shelby GT-H.
Visually, the Hertz Penske GT starts out with a black and yellow paint and graphics scheme as well as identifying badges, and Hertz has raided the Mustang parts bin for bits and bobs like a Boss 302 front splitter and Shelby GT500 rear valence to give the coupe its own unique look. The model has also receives performance improvements including upgraded suspension and exhaust, Brembo brakes, a retuned ECU and Recaro bucket seats. As a bonus, Penske Racing's Nationwide Series No. 22 Ford Mustang has been painted to match the new Hertz Penske GT. Other cars in the Hertz Adrenaline Collection include the standard version of the Ford Mustang GT, Chevrolet Camaro SS, Chevrolet Corvette convertible and Dodge Challenger R/T. Scroll down for the official press release for the Hertz Penske GT, or you can always head to your local Hertz airport location to see if they have one on the lot.

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
