This is a gorgeous 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 two door hardtop. It is a turquoise and white, one of a kind, top to bottom off-frame restoration. I have to sell it for some health reasons.

Everything is new or restored all the way down to the stainless steel nuts, bolts, and washers. All the front end parts, frame, back plates, driveline, rear end, fender wall, and rims, were powder coated. Entire body was sand blasted and coated with baked on epoxy primer and painted with two stage paint. The car has green LED lights that shine down on the hub caps and has programmable green LED lights that shine down on the street, it is absolutely gorgeous at night! Has a hi-tech stereo mounted in the glovebox for a great sound, but still has original radio mounted on dash for classic look.

Under the hood is a completely rebuilt 390 with 3/4 cam producing over 350 horsepower! It has a three speed totally rebuilt automatic transmission with higher gears added to completely rebuilt rear end. I have won two best in show, one best in ten, and one most original award this year and I have less than 3500 miles into this car.

For more info call Gayle at 916-955-7714. Located in Pollock Pines, CA.

P.S. This 1958 Ford has the original upholster supplied by Baron Bonney Co. and installed by Premier Upholsters in Sacramento, very high quality worksmanship. All finish work by Roseville Rod and Custom in Roseville, glass work done by Kidells Glass of Orangevale, chrome by AAA Plating in North Sacramento, sandblasting and epoxy primer by Class A Powdercoating, upholstery by Premier Auto Upholstery, mechanical work, wiring, and accessories installed by D&L Automotive of North Highlands, stereo installation by Anthony's Stereo Systems of North Highlands, and rear end rebuild by Gearhead North Highlands.

All the shops that reasembled this 58 are all very popular shops who do excellent work. They are people I know and I have very high recommendations for. They display numerous awards for their worksmanship. This 1958 is better than any vehical that came off the assembly line. I have pictures of the tear down and the reassembly of the restoration and will pass those along to the new owner along with trophies aquired this last year.

Ford GT dominates Le Mans qualifying, gets slapped with performance adjustment

Fri, Jun 17 2016

Fifty years after Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon drove the Ford GT40 to victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ford is poised for a historic return to the Circuit de la Sarthe. The new Ford GT took the top two qualifying positions in the LMGTE Pro class, and four of the top five. Ferrari's 488 filled in the rest of the spots in the top seven, the first two from AF Corse. In other words, we're primed for a reboot of the classic Ford-Ferrari feud at this year's race. Or not, as the ACO, which organizes the 24 Hours of Le Mans, announced sweeping pre-race Balance of Performance (BOP) adjustments this morning that make this year's GT class anybody's race. In LMP1, last year's overall winner Porsche locked up the top two spots with the 919 Hybrid and will lead the entire field at race start. Toyota's two-car factory effort followed with qualifying times 1.004 and 2.170 seconds behind the pole lap. Audi rounds out the manufacturer-backed LMP1 class in fifth and sixth. Full qualifying results can be found here. The storyline for the GT cars is perfect - some say too perfect. Ford's class-leading times came after BOP adjustment to the Corvette Racing C7.R before qualifying. BOP is intended to level the playing field in the class by adjusting power, ballast, and fuel capacity. (Check out this explainer video for more, or even just if you love French accents.) But the process is riddled with unknowns and ripe for accusations of sandbagging. That is, if the Ford cars were intentionally slow in practice they could hope for BOP adjustment to improve their race chances. On the Corvette side, last year's GTE Pro winner went from the top of the field to the bottom, barely improving from practice to qualifying. If you think Le Mans is as rigged at the NBA Playoffs, well, it's not that simple. Because if Ford and Ferrari held back until qualifying - the eighth-place Porsche 911 RSR is three-and-a-half seconds off the class pole time - it was a pretty dumb strategy. This morning, the ACO tried to put things back in order by limiting the boost in the Ford GT's twin-turbo V6 and adding 11 pounds of ballast. Ferrari was also given extra weight but allowed more fuel capacity. The Corvette and Aston Martin teams were both given breaks on their air restrictors, which will allow their engines to make more power. Both Ford and Porsche also received extra fuel capacity.

Jerry Seinfeld doesn't love Sarah Jessica Parker's new Country Squire in latest CiCGC

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee has finally returned for its fourth season of combining Jerry Seinfeld, a miscellaneous celebrity and a cup of java. But rather than fondly remembering some older piece of automotive machinery, this time around, Seinfeld is utterly unable to keep his hatred of Sarah Jessica Parker's 1976 Ford LTD Country Squire from coming out to hilarious effect.
However, Parker has such a high level of infectious enthusiasm for her recently purchased Country Squire that she seems to win over Seinfeld by the end - at least a little bit. For most of their time together, the two of them drive around Manhattan and the suburbs waxing nostalgic about what things were like when these wagons were ubiquitous.
Since this is actually SJP's car, she and Seinfeld trade off driving duties, and the image above should give you some indication of Seinfeld's reaction to the Sex and the City star behind the wheel. It seems this '70s land yacht might be a little too much for her to handle in New York traffic. Regardless, she is absolutely in love with her Ford.

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains

Wed, 21 May 2014

If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.
