I have a rare and hard to find 1968 Ford Fairlane 500 Formal Hardtop for sale. This rare 68 beauty is all original and unmolested (other than a re-paint) It only has 101k miles and RUNS, DRIVES and HANDLES absolutely amazing! The original 302 runs extremely strong. No smoke, no leaks, and appears to have been built at some point. It has dual exhaust and sounds awesome! It has been well maintained mechanically as you'll see when you drive it. It has new tires. Brakes have been re-done and stop the car very well. It does not have power brakes or power steering but the brakes work so well you wouldn't know they aren't power. THIS IS an original A/C car and all the components are there. The fan will blow but the compressor does not come on. I can't stress enough how great this car runs and drives! This car is VERY ROAD WORTHY and needs nothing mechanically! Drive it anywhere! I would consider this car a "sleeper". Put on some nice looking vintage style sporty wheels and tires and that would top it off! In fact, I took the Magnum 500 Wheels and tires off my 66 Mustang Fastback and put on the Fairlane. I took some pictures to show what it would like like. See the pics! I will sell the Magnum 500 Wheels with Cooper Cobra Tires in GREAT condition separately for an additional $700 THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SALE. The interior is in really nice condition and all original except the headliner...It's new. The carpet is original and only faded slightly in the sun exposed areas. The seat upholstery looks very nice for its age but does have a couple of tears in the driver seat area. One small tear in the center of driver area and then a larger tear in a "not so visible" area in the corner. The dash looks nice as well. All the components in the dash work. The only thing missing is the original radio. It has an aftermarket radio installed and mounted under the dash so no holes were cut. Door panels look good but do have some fading The trunk area is all original and in good condition. No rot or rust anywhere in the trunk. Still has the original spare tire mounted in its place with the jack. It appears the fuel tank has been replaced at some point. The exterior of the car has been repainted at some point in the past. Although the pictures make the car look very nice (and it really does!) there are few areas where the paint has chipped and one area where the newer paint has flaked off. There is VERY MINIMAL rust in this car. What rust is there is only surface and would certainly not require any metal replacement by any means. THIS IS A SOLID CAR! Floor pans are solid! The car appears to have had some minor body work near the tail lights and it does look like the bondo has began to crack. Very minor but it you were going to ever re-paint the car I would recommend fixing that at the same time. The body molding around the car have a few dings here and there but still look ok. The car itself is very straight and no dings to speak of. This is a great driver quality car! Keep and enjoy it as is or would be an easy and affordable restoration. The car is originally from Texas. In fact I have the original Texas TITLE from 1968. This title is not transferable. The car will be sold with a Bill of Sale only. Please call or text 706-325-4360 if you have questions. |

Ford talking unibody Ranger replacement
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Now here's some welcome news. Car and Driver reports Ford is seriously mulling a replacement for the recently deceased Ranger, but the successor to the compact pickup's throne may not look anything like what we've seen from the nameplate in the past.
While speaking at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Doug Scott, marketing manager for Ford Trucks, said there's still a market for a smaller pickup, but that buyers expect to see a larger differentiation between the smaller utility vehicles and their full size counterparts in price, capability and fuel economy.
According to Scott, that means a vehicle with a payload capacity of around 1,000 pounds paired with a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds and "a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption." But the biggest piece of that recipe is the price tag, and Scott says to keep the MSRP far enough away from the already cheap F-150, the answer could come in the form of a unibody design. Scott says target customers in this market don't care whether the truck has a traditional frame or not, so long as it's tough enough to do the job and has the capability they need.
Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
Major Alexa deal will bring Amazon services into more cars
Wed, Jan 9 2019Amazon and its personal assistance service Alexa are partnering with HERE Technologies to create a new connected mobility service powerhouse. Alexa will integrate with HERE's navigation and location services to offer what the two companies are calling a "true voice-first-navigation experience." Alexa will come pre-integrated with HERE navigation on-demand, which the automakers can then enable, which should help cut down on development time. One of the biggest features from this partnership is how directions could be offered and delivered using HERE's Open Location Platform (OLP). Currently, the OLP uses data from several car manufacturers to provide insights into real-time location and traffic. But on Alexa, this could be used to provide directional context. For example, Alexa could say, "Turn right after [such-and-such a building]" rather than just, "Turn right." Amazon has been testing the automotive waters throughout the past decade. Its home-based Alexa-enabled devices are already offered with connections to several manufacturers. To various degrees of integration, it can already pair with Ford, Genesis, Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai and BMW vehicles. At the end of 2018, Amazon took things a step further when it introduced the Echo Auto, a Bluetooth-connected Alexa assistant device that can be physically kept in a car. Currently only available by invitation (its production and distribution have been delayed), the $25 device is essentially a voice service that works together with smartphones and connects to a car's speakers. Users can command it to do a variety of things, including playing music, setting navigation, opening the garage door, finding local stores, making calls, setting reminders, and thousands of other "skills." According to The Verge, nearly 1 million people have already ordered the device. Some (well, probably few) may know HERE Technologies from its maps on Windows Phones. We all know how that turned out, though. Today, HERE has expanded into a multi-function suite that is available in multiple mediums, including many automotive applications. HERE Automotive's connected vehicle services include real-time traffic, parking, weather, fuel prices, hazard warnings, traffic sign integration, and even EV charging stations. These all incorporate and extend the use of HERE's location and tracking programming. HERE is already partnered with BMW, Audi, Daimler, Intel, Mobileye, NVIDIA, and has investments from Bosch, Continental and Pioneer.
