1965 Ford Fairlane 500 3.3l on 2040-cars
Bayfield, Colorado, United States
|
This auction is for a 1965 Ford Fairlane 500, and she runs. This is the story behind this car: I purchased this from a man who bought it NEW in 1965 for his Mother. He states, “She drove it nowhere for 20 years, and then gave it back to me.” This gentleman is a “pick-up truck” kind of guy, so this sat in his barn for the most part. He says he drove it rarely, just to make sure it started, and he kept it up. He has an emotional attachment to it, as his mother is now gone. The miles on this car, 19,370.8 are the only miles on it. Everything is original. The glass is original without a crack or a chip. The jack and crow bar in the trunk are original and the “how-to” diagram is still pasted to the inside of the trunk. Even the cigarette lighter is accounted for. Original keys and owner’s manual also included. The frame is straight as an arrow. The hood opens, stays open and shuts perfectly. The trunk opens, stays open, and shuts perfectly. Each door shuts and opens perfectly. You can really tell how little actual wear there is on the frame when you open and shut the doors. All the lights work, signals and brakes. You tap a button on the floorboard to switch to bright lights. Speedometer and gas gauge work. I purchased this car almost a year ago, with ideas of grandeur of fixing it up for fun. I find though that I’m more of a “mini-van” kind of woman. I’ve done a couple of things. Oil change, air and oil filter, spark plugs and spark plug wires, and I’ve had the original carburetor refurbished by a man in NJ (He’s actually on eBay!) I find this isn’t exactly my thing, and more important details in my life that require my attention (such as four kids, two jobs, etc.) supersede the restoring of this vehicle. And I just can’t let it sit in my back yard, covered with a tarp anymore. I’ve registered it for four years, paid extra for the ‘collector’s’ plate, and it’s insured…but to what end? This is not going to happen for me in my life right now. This baby still needs some TLC. She needs new tires for sure. The upholstery needs to be replaced. The seals around the windows need to be replaced. New seat belts need to be installed as there are only two lap seat belts in the front seat, none in the back. I’m pretty sure those aren’t to code. She needs painted. I’m not sure if the AM radio works. Do they still broadcast in AM? I can barely hear it, so I think it’s the speakers. Here’s what I know is a flaw: 1. The horn doesn’t work. 2. There is a small dent under the front driver’s side panel. Not visible from the front. I took a detailed photo of it. 3. The “R” in the front where is says “FORD” is missing. The engine is small, it’s a 200 in-line six. It does not have power anything. No power steering. No power windows. Drum brakes, not powered. No A/C. ‘Three on the Tree’ manual shifting. Did I mention, she’s a runner? Once yellow with a tan interior, now she’s more of an Ivory color. I have been on eBay for 15 years now and have impeccable feedback (this is my third job really). As you can see, I deal mostly in ladies lingerie and household collectables. I have never sold a car on eBay. Come to think about it, I’ve never sold a car. I have someone who is willing to assist me in questions you may have about this car, that I can’t answer. So feel free to ask, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. The title is clear, and I have it. |

Enterprise customer billed $47k for Mustang stolen from rental lot
Sun, 05 Jan 2014A weekend rental of a Ford Mustang GT Convertible sounds like a nice, relaxing way to burn some gas, but one Nova Scotia woman's two-day rental is turning into a months-long headache. In early October, Kristen Cockerill picked up the Mustang from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and she returned it the following day as stipulated by the rental contract. Unfortunately, she dropped the car off on a Sunday - a day on which the particular Enterprise office is closed - and the car ended up being stolen overnight.
Now, two months later, CBC reports that Cockerill received a bill from Enterprise for the full replacement of the car totaling $47,271 (a base 2014 Mustang GT Convertible currently costs $40,349 in Canada). As it turns out, the fine print in the contract says that the renter is responsible for cars dropped off after hours until it can be inspected the next business day - this is also reflected on the key drop seen in the news report video, which states "vehicles returned after hours are the responsibility of the renter until inspected on the next business day."
It's not clear how much, if any, of that amount Cockerhill will be responsible for once her insurance company gets involved, but if the insurance company refuses to pay, Enterprise will bill the amount to the credit card she provided during her rental. While this ordeal is far over for Cockerhill, it's a good reminder for the rest of us to always read the fine print.
Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.
