1965 Ford Fairlane 500 2door Hard Top on 2040-cars
Nixa, Missouri, United States
I Have a 1965 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door Hard top . The car is a "C" code 289 with 3 speed manual transmission on the colume. The car is fairly solid over all and runs like a top.I drove the car around the block and its a nice old car. The outside of the car is Black but is very dull and does need paint,the car was White from the factory. It looks good from 20ft and has a nice shine when wet so could be drove like it is of course.The car has a couple bubble spots of rust poping up but very solid for the most part. Both front floor pans have some rust.The driver side has had a piece of tin put down but you would want to cut it out and install a pan if you was restoring the car. The rear pans look good. The trunk pan has some pin holes and scaley rust on it when looking at the top side. Hard to see much of the bottom for the gas tank.The frame rails are nice and solid. Over all for a 1965 I think its in great shape. I do have a bunch of trim from the car. Some is good and some is bad so depends on the look you are going for if you need the trim. The inside of the car shows some age. Needs seats and carpet redone along with headliner. Is blue and white inside. The engine purrs like a kitten. Has had a Edelbrock 4 barrel intake and carb installed.Carries good oil pressure and does not over heat.The trans pulls and shifts good. The brakes are good and does not pull to one side or the other. I have been running off a gas can under the hood just because I didnt know what kind of shape the gas was in that is in the tank. Needs new ignition installed but does come with car. I jumped the selonoide and ran a hot wire to the coil. Installed new points and condensor. With just a little time and money spent ono the car you can be driving it as much as you want. I can get these things done for the purchaser at a extra cost if you do not want to do them yourself. Tires are like new. The car came out of Georgia so it has a Bill of Sale of course as they do not title old cars. I will try to send that paper work in here in Mo. this week as I have everything already to get the title thru Mo. It takes about 7 to 10 days normally. So as the car stands right now has a Billof sale out of Georgia with it but if I get that sent in this week I will update the listing letting everyone know that I have done that.

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow
Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
2014 Ford F-150 gets CNG option
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Ford is toiling away, installing heavy-duty engine components into select 3.7-liter V6s to allow them to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in addition to gasoline. That's nothing new, but now, Ford has announced that it will offer the 2014 F-150 with this engine configuration, bringing the Blue Oval's total number of CNG/LPG-friendly vehicles up to eight. The F-150 will be the only half-ton pickup on the market that can run on these gases.
Ford will charge $315 per vehicle to equip the optional engine, but the trucks won't be ready to run on the alternative fuels straight from the factory and must be upfitted with additional equipment. A Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier will install a separate fuel system for the compressed gases at a cost of $7,500 to $9,500, depending on fuel tank size. With the right-size tank, the F-150 equipped with the CNG/LPG-prepped engine can go 750 miles on one tank of gas, according to Ford, averaging 23 miles per gallon.
The practice of offering flex-fuel vehicles is gaining momentum as businesses take advantage of cheap gas. CNG can be bought for $2.11/gallon on average (per gasoline equivalent), and sometimes for as little as $1.00 in some parts of the US, Ford states. "With the money saved using CNG, customers could start to see payback on their investment in as little as 24 to 36 months," says Jon Coleman, Ford's fleet sustainability and technology manager. The automaker expects to sell a total of 15,000 CNG/LPG-prepped vehicles in the 2014 model year.
2013 Ford Explorer Sport
Thu, 04 Apr 2013When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.
