We just acquired this outstanding car from a long term owner who cared for this car very well all thru his ownership. A total rock solid, never rusted example of the seldom seen Fairlane 500 in the sedan body style. Well documented having been sold new at Valley Ford Sales in Florissant Missouri. The car went to Alabama early in its life and was never exposed to any winter weather evidenced by its outstanding rust-free condition. This '65 Fairlane retains its complete original matching number drivetrain from the 289 V-8 to the Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission and Ford 9" rear-end. The previous owner sought out the correct parts to upgrade the original 'C' Code 289 to the factory HI-PO offering of 1965. Good effort and money was spent to secure correct componentry and the work produced a very strong performing powertrain that is reliable and fun to drive. All of the mechanicals have been refreshed over the years and this car runs and drives absolutely perfect and has no needed drivability issues whatsoever. The car is simply fast, reliable, safe and just fun to drive. 

The body integrity of this car is excellent with good panel fit, no visible previous collision or rust repair and a very good overall repaint in the original color of Wimbeldon White. Front and rear bumpers have been re-chromed and all stainless and anodized bright trim is very nice. All window glass nearly perfect. The trunk compartment is mint, refinished in the correct Ford Spatter paint. Spare tire, jack and tools are in place. 

The interior of the Fairlane is near mint, a combination of excellent original pieces and some redone. The steering wheel was sent out for restoration is flawless. The rare no-radio dash bezel is properly in place. Gauges, switches and clamps all operate correctly as does the heater and defroster.

You will see in our photos that the engine compartment is done to a high level of detail. The underside of this car is excellent with original untampered with floor and trunk pan. A complete correct new dual exhaust system was fitted at the time of the engine upgrade. A previous owner fitted power steering which make this car much more pleasurable to drive.

All 5 wheels are correct to the car and the proper replacement size radial tires are like new. The car comes with both the small dog dish hubcaps as pictured and a second set of correct mint full wheel covers if that is your preference.

Great documentation is included with the car including the Ford Motor Company paperwork confirming the cars build dates, options, equipment and colors. All of this matches the original DSO Tag in the left door jamb. Also included is the original owners embossed Ident-A-Card, the original owners manual, the HI-PO supplement manual, 1965 Ford Full Line and Fairlane showroom brochures, a 1965 Ford Performance Equipment brochure and much more. Its all there.

A 1965 Fairlane in this unmolested condition is seldom seen and building this car today would be very cost prohibitive. We have shown many good pictures of this to give you a good idea of how nice it really is but feel free to come and inspect it if you choose. You will not be disappointed, it is one little honey of a car.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VI

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.

Performance CNG wants to crowdfund natural gas-powered Ford Mustang

Fri, May 16 2014

Soliciting investments to develop a street-legal compressed natural gas (CNG) powered Ford Mustang that can deliver 470 horsepower certainly wouldn't make sense on a site called Indiestopstop. Nope, Indiegogo is the more-appropriately-named site that one Michigan entrepreneur is using to try and crowdfund his CNG 'Stang. He's looking to raise $55,000. Michigan's Daryl Patrishkoff and his company Performance CNG LLC showed off their converted 2003 Mustang last year at the Woodward Dream Cruise in Royal Oak, MI in an effort to get some exposure for the car, which can run on both gas and CNG. The company and its three-man team is looking to further develop the project in the name of a fueling source that is 40 percent cheaper than gasoline, throws off as much as 30 percent fewer tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions and makes the country less dependent on foreign oil. Performance CNG estimates that just 120,000 of the world's 15 million CNG-powered vehicles are in the US and is calling for more. As for the $55 grand, Patrishkoff estimates that more than half of that amount would be committed to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) testing of emissions, fuel economy and horsepower. The problem? As of right now, only $150 has been raised. Check out Performance CNG's press release below and see the fundraising effort on Indiegogo here. Eco-Friendly Muscle Car? CNG vehicles save money, emit less pollution and creates jobs from American-mined fuel SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich., May 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Daryl Patrishkoff of Shelby Township, MI, has a vision for the American automotive industry. He firmly believes that our fuel of choice should be Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), not gasoline. Until the full CNG infrastructure is in place a Bi-Fuel vehicle, fueled by either CNG or gasoline upon the drivers command, is the bridge vehicle that can lead this transition. Patrishkoff heads up a (3) man technical team developing this technology. The advantages are: 40 percent savings in fuel costs at the pump 25-30 percent reduction in harmful emissions 100 percent US provided natural gas Meaningful employment for the US economy The most important benefit, however, is that a CNG-powered vehicle runs on fuel that can be mined in America, eliminating the need for foreign oil. "After decades of political rhetoric, these types of vehicles can truly lead the US to energy independence," he said.

Takata adds millions to recall expansion in US [UPDATE]

Thu, May 28 2015

UPDATE: Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker has advised Autoblog that of the 1,509,535 total vehicles worldwide that the company is recalling, 966,504 of them are new additions for this expanded safety campaign. Last week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that the Takata airbag inflator recalls would expand to an estimated 33.8 million vehicles in the US. However at the time, automakers weren't sure specifically which of their models might be affected under this enlarged campaign. Now, the numbers for BMW, FCA, Ford, and Mitsubishi are being released by the agency. Additionally, Honda is outlining the broadening of its own campaign. BMW's recall amounts to 420,661 vehicles in the US, an increase from 140,696 previously. All of the following models need their front, driver's side airbag replaced: 2002-2005 BMW 325i/325xi/330i/330xi Sedan 2002-2005 BMW 325xi/325i Sportswagon 2002-2006 BMW 330Ci/325Ci/M3 Convertible 2002-2006 BMW 325i/330i/M3 Coupe 2002-2003 BMW M5/540i/525i/530i Sedan 2002-2003 BMW 540i/525i Sportswagon 2003-2004 BMW X5 3.0i/4.4i BMW has received no reports of any injures or deaths from this problem in its vehicles. FCA has 5,224,845 vehicles globally in need of inflator replacements, according to its statement. However, the company is only aware of one injury related to the issue, which occurred in a 2006 Dodge Charger in southern Florida. There are 4,747,202 vehicles worldwide from the company that are affected on the front, driver's side. Among these, 4,066,732 are in the US, 374,508 are in Canada, and the rest are in other countries. The models are: 2005-2009 Dodge Ram 2500 Pickup 2004-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup 2006-2009 Dodge Ram 3500 Pickup 2007-2009 Dodge Ram 3500 Cab Chassis 2008-2010 Dodge Ram 4500/5500 Cab Chassis 2008-2009 Sterling 4500/5500 Cab Chassis 2004-2008 Dodge Durango 2007-2008 Chrysler Aspen 2005-2010 Chrysler 300/300C/SRT8 2005-2010 Dodge Charger/Magnum 2005-2011 Dodge Dakota 2006-2010 Mitsubishi Raider Also, there are 438,156 vehicles in the US, according to the NHTSA documents, that need their front passenger's side inflators replaced in the expansion of an earlier regional recall: 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 The total number of vehicles from Ford now covered under these campaigns stands at 1,509,535 worldwide. Of this total, there are 1,380,604 in the United States, 93,207 in Canada and 16,953 in Mexico.
