this auction is for my 59 ford fairlane 500. it's in rough looking shape but it still has most of all the original parts. definitely a solid car to restore.... I will get some more pics and post them...
I have the parts that go to the front end except the turn signal lights in the front bumper....i also have brand new taillight lenses, and a master cylinder rebuild kit.
the engine is still in the car and complete/non running 292 y block . I have no tried to turn the engine over... the transmission is a manual....
both front fenders have dents. the hood is rusty .chrome needs restored... the floorboards have some rust holes. the trunk floor looks great. the rear rockers do not look like they are rusted out...
one rear brake drums is missing. it rolls good if the tires are aired up..
the drivers door does not shut. that gear on the door just spins. it is supposed to lock and hold the door shut...probably a easy fix...
the trunk lock is missing. I don't have the keys or a title... car will be sold with a bill of sale
windows are intact. the front w-shield is scratched up...
the rear end is a ford 9"... the dashboard looks complete. the radio is missing. it may be in the trunk...??? one door panel is missing..
the vin plate is intact....the car will need a full restoration. or use it to rebuild another car...????
I am trying to remember all the details . I may have missed something. so if you have any questions let me know...
those pictures of the car with all the stuff laying around/on top of the car, is when it was at my dads house. the first pic is at my house on jackstands. the car is now in the garage ...
this belonged to my dad before he passed away. I was going to restore/ratrod it out. but I already have to many things going and don't have to time or the money to spend to finish it...( I have already put 800.00 in the front end parts that were missing). it needs to go to someone that will give it some more tender loving care. (and not crush it like my step brothers wanted to do).

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.
Introducing the 1965 Ford Mustang
Sat, 24 Aug 2013Put on your space suits and diving bell helmets, for it's time to step into a time capsule. The 50th anniversary of a historic model, like, say, the Porsche 911 this year, is certain to bring flights of nostalgia. This historical trip with the 1965 Mustang, though - preliminary hype for next year's anniversary, we know - is a swell museum exhibit for anyone who enjoys bygone days of the automobile.
Lee Iaccoca gave a speech to motoring journalists on April 1, 1964 at the New York World's Fair to introduce a sporty car for younger drivers. His opening line: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to one of the proudest moments of our lives." The company was so excited by what it had made that the Mustang was Ford's first "International Press Introduction," being introduced to some 2,000 journos around the world on the same day in the US and 11 European cities. Even through its difficult points, no one at the time could have known how well the Mustang would acquit that pride.
After the intro, the press drove Mustangs 750 miles from New York to Dearborn, MI, reading press kits that touted features like the "vertical, three-sectional taillights/turn signals," "170" six-cylinder engine with 101 horsepower and the available Cruise-O-Matic transmission.
Detroit Three autoworkers could get huge bonuses
Mon, 06 Jan 2014For a long time, being a line worker for one of the Detroit Three has meant living with an uncertain future. With the health of American automakers on the rise, though, things are also starting to look up for the men and women building the cars. The latest sign that things aren't bad? Big profit-sharing checks.
According to The Detroit News, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler could end up paying over $800 million to 130,000 workers as part of a profit-sharing plan. According to The News, the economic impact of these profits in Michigan alone could exceed $400 million, besting the NFL's Super Bowl, MLB's All-Star Game and the NHL's Winter Classic for their economic impact.
This is the third straight year the Detroit Three have issued profit-sharing checks to UAW employees, and for many workers, the checks are as close as they'll get to a raise, due to the most recent contract between the union and the manufacturers. On average, employees at GM and Ford receive $1 for every $1 million in North American (not just the US) pre-tax profits. Chrysler, meanwhile, gets a similar deal, although the Auburn Hills-based company calculates profit sharing using 85 percent of the brand's global profits.
