1965 Ford Fairlane 500 4.7l...less Than 37k Original Miles..3rd Owner...survivor on 2040-cars
Lexington, Kentucky, United States
|
The car was purchased new in Springfield KY and spent over 40 years being immaculately cared for by the original owner. Unfortunately at the time of her passing the car was parked outside and abandoned for several years where the cosmetic problems began to develop. The problems with this car are completely cosmetic, mechanically it is in incredible working condition. We have replaced the gas tank, 4 tires, exhaust, complete tune up (including hoses and filters), clutch return spring, trunk rubber and will include additional rubber for the doors. The drums have also been inspected by our mechanic and are in excellent working order. The car runs, drives, stops, steers, shifts and does all that it should; the horn and blinkers are even in order. As mentioned in condition the rear panels are going to need a patch and the trunk does show rust though the metal is still solid. Again, both of these problems are issues of neglect. The frame on the car IS SOLID and shows no signs of collision. The car has less than 40K original miles as this is also stated on the current title which is clear. This car could be a daily driver currently and holds great potential for a complete restoration. It is located just outside Lexington, KY and we STRONGLY recommend inspecting/driving the car in person if at all possible. Please e-mail to make arrangements and please inspect the vehicle prior to bidding. We are more than happy to answer any questions so please do not hesitate to ask. Please also keep in mind the car is 49 years old, we have described its condition as accurately as possible commiserate with our ability. In the event of a winning bid, Cash in person or certified check must be received no later than 7 days after the end of auction. We welcome pick up of the car or will work with a shipper of your choosing to the best of our ability. Thank you very much for viewing and again, please do not hesitate to contact. PS The motor is black because my father rattle can painted the motor with an appropriate high heat paint. IF you would like a 70 year old white male uncomfortable with retirement my father will also be included with the car. |

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Ford could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.
