This 1968 Fairlane is not perfect but it is a very nice weekend cruiser. I just completed working on this car. I spent two years bringing her back to life. She is a Factory AC Car with a freshly rebuilt 302 roller motor. It has a Trick Flow Stage one roller camshaft, Crane 1.7 roller rockers and GT 40 heads. Automatic was on Colum but now has a B&M floor shifter. C4 tranny with a 2000 stall converter with a custom built driveshaft attaching to a 4:11 8 inch posi traction rear end. The differential has clutches not a mini spool so she turns and drives as modern performance cars. New headliner, seat upholstery and carpet. Black interior. This car was just painted original 1968 Ford green ( it has a few small scratches /blemishes but it looks pretty darn good. Under car is VERY CLEAN. All pans, rails, torque boxes etc are original and nearly perfect! You just don't find a car that is rust free like this one very often. New chrome for front and rear bumpers and the trim is all there. Trim isn't perfect but it looks really good; the worst is the. The diff is new, motor is new, driveshaft is new, carpet is new, headliner is new, seat upholstery is new, bumpers both front and rear just triple chromed. The duel exhaust and headers are new, tires and rims are used but great shape factory correct except they have the Torino GT Emblems on them, the dash is a 9 out of 10. Also flushed fuel cell and installed new pick up tube. This was a 289 car but had a rod thru the block. I have a lot of time and money in this car.

My price is far below what's been put in it; come take her home for Christmas. Drive her anywhere but remember she is geared for local cruising. AC system is all there but I have not attempted to charge it. One of the cables that control heat/cool is frozen up. This car does have power steering and works great. Overall this is a nice car that is fun to drive around on weekends and just cruising the neighborhood. She's got a little pep to her as well probably in the ball park of high 12s in the 1/4 mile.

Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron

Tue, Jan 3 2017

Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.

Ford exec downplays idea of aluminum-intensive cars

Thu, Jan 15 2015

Ford certainly made waves when it rolled out the all-new 2015 F-150 made primarily out of aluminum. But while trimming weight off its vehicles is a top priority for the Detroit automaker, we shouldn't expect the lightweight metal to be used as widely on passenger cars as it has been on its new pickup. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress on Wednesday, top Ford exec Joe Hinrichs said that using aluminum in passenger cars isn't as beneficial as it is in trucks – primarily because the weight savings isn't as dramatic, or as deeply needed. Though improved fuel economy is certainly one advantage of aluminum construction in a truck like the F-150, low prices at the pump have prompted Ford to highlight another advantage, and that's capability: With less weight on its own, a lighter-weight truck can carry and tow more than a heavier one, because it all comes down to combined weight ratings. Ford is expected to make the new F-Series Super Duty largely out of aluminum for the same reasons, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the next Expedition use the material as well. But while certain components in Ford passenger cars will be made of aluminum, we shouldn't expect entire chassis and bodywork assemblies to use the material as extensively as on the F-150, or on more upscale passenger cars from the likes of Audi or Jaguar. Dearborn is, however, investing in other lightweight materials. It has a joint venture with Dow Chemical to put carbon fiber into mass production, much as BMW has with its i3. The Blue Oval will use a combination of carbon and aluminum on its 2017 GT supercar, and it has stripped weight by removing amenities from the 2016 Mustang GT350R, but apparently neither is a method Ford can practically apply to its volume models.

Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
