This is an exceptionally fine, totally restored, 1965 Ford Fairlane 500, two door hardtop. This is a two owner car that has been in Georgia since birth. It was sold new at Carey Paul Ford in Atlanta and did not see a second owner for nearly 45 years. You will see in the photo section the original bill of sale and title. In fact, the original keys are still being used today. The body on this vehicle is almost unbelievable. It has all original metal and is as straight as it was coming off the assembly line. The exterior base/clear finish is impeccable. This is the original Springtime yellow and black interior, just as it came from the factory. The bumpers have been rechromed and all of the stainless steel trim is original, but has been meticulously polished to look almost new. The glass has all been replaced, including the tinted windshield. This car is not just nice, it is somewhat breath taking. The more you look and study this one, the more you will appreciate the countless hours that have been put into this restoration. The interior is all new including the door panels, seat covers, headliner, kick panels, and carpet. A custom am/fm/cd stereo and pair of gauges have been added below the dash. The engine compartment is highly detailed, in keeping with the rest of the car. A chrome engine kit has been added, as well as a new power brake booster and master cylinder. This is the original numbers matching 289, V-8 engine that has recently been rebuilt with documentation. The automatic transmission, also rebuilt, is original to the car as well. The undercarriage is solid as a rock with original floors and stock rear end. The brake system has all been redone with new stainless steel lines, new upper ball joints, sway bar, new rear springs, new gas tank, dual exhaust, stainless steel exhaust valve seats, and so much more. The trunk space is immaculate with a new spare tire, jack, wrench and floor mat. You can tell that no expense has been spared, nor detail overlooked. This car runs and drives as good as it looks on this new set of Nexen radial tires and Old Style American wheels. This is the original mileage showing on the odometer, 111k miles. The trophies you see in the photos are just the beginning of a collection that this car will earn over the years.

Lincoln recycling tree fibers into new MKX armrest
Thu, Feb 27 2014Want to hug a tree, or at least a really small part of one. Then set your arm down on one of those armrests in the 2014 Lincoln MKX crossover. The US automaker is working with Weyerhaeuser and Johnson Controls on a tree-based, cellulose-reinforced polypropylene material used in the component that connects the armrest to the floor console, Wards Auto says. With properties similar to plastic, the tree-based material replaces fiberglass and is about six percent lighter. No big deal for now, but if the material starts getting used for things like battery trays and interior storage covers, that loss in weight may eventually start adding up enough to boost fuel economy a bit, providing a green double bonus. Lincoln parent Ford, which isn't saying how much more (or less?) it costs to use the new material, established its Biomaterials and Plastics Research team in 2001. In 2007, the company began using soy-based foam in car seats used for models such as the Lincoln Navigator and Ford Mustang and has since broadened biomaterials use to components like floormats and cupholder inserts. Ford also used recycled plastic bottles from the 2012 North America International Auto Show for seats in the Focus Electric.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
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.
