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.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Woman trades 1914 Model T in for 2013 Corvette
Wed, 17 Apr 2013We're sure that dealers must see all sorts of interesting trade ins, but this one may take the cake. Red River Chevrolet in Bossier City, Louisiana, recently had a customer come in with an odd request. Tina Boyter wanted to trade in three vehicles on a brand-new 2013 Chevy Corvette. Among the hardware was 1980 Corvette, a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado and a 1914 Ford Model T. While the '80 Corvette had been her personal car for years, the '78 Eldorado had belonged to Boyter's mother before she traded up to a Lincoln. The big Caddy had just 10,290 miles on the clock when it was traded in.
And the Model T? Boyter says the car was built as a racer by Ford, and that it had been a show winner for years when it belonged to her father. But, after spending the last 16 years in a museum with its fluids drained, Boyter decided it was time to shed some of the past. She walked into the dealer, laid eyes on a white 2LT Corvette with a red interior and offered to trade all three of the vehicles in on the sports car.
Why not wait for the C7? "I fell in love with that one when I walked in the door," She said. We can't fault her there.
Ford says utility vehicles are key to global growth
Tue, 26 Nov 2013While most of us believe that small, fuel efficient cars are the key to global expansion for US automakers, Jim Farley, Ford's vice president of Global Marketing, thinks otherwise. Last week, we attended an exclusive sneak preview of the Ford Edge Concept in advance of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and Farley told us that it's actually utility vehicles that will help the Blue Oval gain market share overseas. "There is no other segment in our industry that is growing like utilities," he said. "We expect over the next five years this full family of [utility] vehicles to really drive our growth as a company."
And Farley has the numbers to back it up, too. Ford projects overall automotive sales to grow 23 percent from 2012 to 2017, but the company's utility vehicles are expected to boom by an impressive 41 percent during that same period. Much of that growth will be in China, where Ford estimates its utility sales will explode. "The biggest opportunity for us globally for utilities is in China," Farley said. "China utility growth is expected to more than double from where it is today to 2017, which isn't that far away." Most astounding is that Ford projects its own utility sales in China will eventually increase by more than 2,000 percent when smaller crossovers, such as the EcoSport and Kuga (sold as the Escape in North America), and the Edge and Explorer, are factored in.
Ford's VP also expects utilities to lead the way in the struggling European market. "With all the difficulties of the European market, there is one segment that has actually expanded in volume over the last several years even though the market is way down, and that's utilities," Farley told us. Ford estimates that their utility sales will grow 65 percent in Europe from 2012-2017. "The utility segment is projected to grow we think about thirty percent between now and 2017 in Europe, and we think we are going to grow twice that rate as a brand," Farley continued.
