Up for auction is a barn fresh 1966 Fairlane XL500 convertible (bucket seats with a console) with 35,000 original miles. Vehicle was sanded down, primed and then stored in 1976. It is a rare optioned XL500 convertible with a 6 cylinder engine. I've collected alot of fairlanes over the years and I don't believe I have ever seen one optioned like this. Ofcourse back then you could order one anyway you wanted. Vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, power steering, power convertible top, am radio, bucket seats, console, and deluxe wheel covers. The original color is code Z sauterne gold which appears to be more of a very lite metallic green with black interior. The vehicle does has surface rust coming through the primer but don't let that fool you this car is extremely solid throughout. The only rot on the car is a small area of the floor under the driver seat, the rest of the undercarriage, rockers, trunk pan, body mounts, doors, quarter panels in and out are in exceptional condition as the car has always been stored inside. Just before my father purchased it the previous owner just replaced the wheel cylinders, brakes, drums and gave it a tune up. It runs and drives extremely well. It doesn't smoke or leak any fluids and it shifts flawlessly. I 've used it around town and it drives great. All the lights, directionals, gauges and power top operate properly. The original body panels are rust free and extremely straight. The driver quarter has a slight dent. The original interior is in very good condition, the only tare is in one of the seams in the driver seat. The dash pad is cracked around the speaker. The top has tares and rips and needs to be replaced. This is a very nice Fairlane to restore or drive and fix it up as you go.

Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
Ford overlooks the Big Apple in the 2015 Mustang Convertible [w/video]
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Ford has done it again. Like in April of 1964, there is once again an all-new Mustang Convertible sitting on the observation deck of New York City's Empire State Building. This has been in the making for a little while, with the first report that Ford would recreate the sky-high publicity stunt coming out a few weeks back.
The process of getting the Mustang up there wasn't exactly easy. A Troy, MI-based company chopped up the new droptop, a necessary evil to get the Mustang on the Empire State Building's only freight elevator that runs to the 86th floor observation deck. But it was slightly more involved than just taking the car apart. The company, DST, built a mockup of the ESB's freight elevators, and then practiced its cuts on a second pre-production Mustang Convertible (measure twice, cut once).
The result of all this work are the images you see above. Yes, sitting in the crisp, morning air of midtown Manhattan, over 1,000 feet up, is this brilliant, Triple Yellow Mustang. Take a look up top for our gallery of images from today's event. You can also scroll down for videos and images of the process leading up to the ESB debut.
eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history
Sat, 03 May 2014You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
