1969 Ford Fairlane For Sale
I got the car about 5 years ago out in Southern California where the car had been its whole life and brought it out to New Mexico. Since then the car has spent very little time on the road, has always been garaged and the car has been regularly serviced by certified mechanics. The car runs great and has incredible highway power, front disc brakes and power steering. The specifics of the modifications are extensive and all well done and include:
347 Ford Small Block Stroker ( balanced )
J+S Forged Pistons
Seat Forged Crank and Rods
Ruben Racing Cam .510 lift @ .290 duration
Stainless Valves
Comp Cams Springs, Roller Rockers, and Lifters
MSD Ignition
Melling High Volume Oil Pump
Weiand Tunnel Ram Intake
Ford Racing Billet Pullies
Art Carr C-4 Transmission with 2600 Stall
The exterior has typical wear of the 7 year old paint job, all the chrome is excellent and the body is straight solid and in great shape. The hood was professionally redone to resemble the teardrop on the Ford Thunderbolt. There are a couple of nicks where the hood tolerance was too tight and chipped the paint and unfortunately there is a slight bow to one side nothing too bad. The interior is pretty well maintained with a complete new upholstery about 5 years ago, the headliner is tight and the seats all look great. The gauges all light up and work and its even got the original philco radio in it, but no speaker. This is full disclosue, just telling it is like it is.
Unfortunately Im moving out of state for work and will not be able to keep the Fairlane with me for another move, so its going up for sale. the car has over 10,000 dollars invested in the engine alone and has recieved its annual tune up. If you are an out of state buyer I recommend another carb adjustment at your elevation (its about 5500 ft up here). Im asking for 12,000 dollars obo, the only reason its going so cheap is due to the impending time limit for work. This is an incredible vehicle that is in excellent condition throughout, no rust, straight lines, runs fantastic If you are a serious buyer contact me through email and we can arrange the details further for a meeting or sale if required.

Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014
The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
Ford C-Max spied with fresh updates
Fri, 05 Sep 2014The Ford C-Max hatchback looks to be getting a few cosmetic updates, as evidenced in this latest set of spy photos. Like the smaller Focus, which also received a nip/tuck for the 2015 model year, the C-Max appears to be getting a revised front fascia with slimmer headlamps and a more, shall we say, Aston Martin-like grille. Around back, there looks to be a new bumper with redesigned taillamps, as well.
In other markets, the C-Max people-mover is available with a range of powertrains, but here in the US, it exists either as a traditional gas-electric or plug-in hybrid. The C-Max's fuel economy has been a particular topic of interest lately, with its official fuel economy ratings having been lowered twice since the vehicle's launch. Sales initially suffered a bit following this fiasco, though numbers have since leveled out. It's unclear if Ford is working on any powertrain tweaks for the updated C-Max seen here, however.
Ford has likely spruced up the hatch's interior, as well, though we don't have photos of that at this time. Mum's the word on when we'll see the new C-Max, but our best guess is that it'll arrive sometime in the next year.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
