1955 FORD FAIRLANE
THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL CAR FOR BEING 58 YEARS OLD ! I GUESS THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED A RESTOMOD. I DID NOT BUILD THIS CAR, I GOT IT JUST THE WAY IT IS. THE ORIGINAL ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH A 1985 MUSTANG "GT" 5.0 AND THE MATCHING 5-SPEED TRANSMISSION. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A COMPLETE ENGINE WITH ALL ACCESSORIES, POWER STEERING, A/C, AND MODERN ALTERNATOR. SERPINTINE BELT, AND MUSTANG HEADERS.
THE CAR DRIVES REALLY GOOD! THE ENGINE HAS PLENTY OF POWER AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY. THE UNDER-DASH AC BLOWS COLD, HAS A CD PLAYER IN THE GLOVE BOX. THE SPEEDOMETER AND MILEAGE BOTH WORK, HOWEVER THE 13-K MILES IS PROBLEY NOT THE ORIGINAL MILES AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON! ALL THE LIGHTS WORK AS THEY SHOULD, THE WIPERS WORK, FUEL GUAGE APPEARS ACCURATE.
THE CAR LOOKS VERY FACTORY FROM THE OUTSIDE, NO REAL MODIFICATIONS VISIBLE, WHEN YOU LOOK UNDER THE HOOD THATS WHEN IT IS CLEAR THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE 55 FORD ! ENGINE IDLES GREAT AND IS VERY RESPONSIVE, DOES NOT OVERHEAT! THE DRIVETRAIN UPGRADE LOOKS AND DRIVES AS IF IT WAS DONE PROFESSIONALLY ! !
THE PAINT AND INTERIOR ARE NOT PERFECT AND DOES SHOW SOME WEAR, GOOD DRIVER QUALITY ! THE COSMETICS COULD BE IMPROVED UPON BUT THE DRIVETRAIN IS SOLID! I WOULD'NT BE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE! ANY QUESTIONS CALL..........

Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average
Tue, 11 Jun 2013We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).
Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Despite the ballyhoo that accompanied Ford's lowering of the C-Max fuel economy figures, the Blue Oval is still seeing strong demand for the five-seat MPV, as Automotive News reports. Speaking to marketing boss Jim Farley, AN says that the controversy surrounding the C-Max's fuel economy figures won't force Ford to change its marketing strategy.
Ford lowered the fuel economy rating of the C-Max after public outcry and legal action by customers that were unable to reach the 47 miles per gallon promised by the window sticker. The new ratings were dropped about a month ago to 45 mpg on the freeway and 40 mpg in the city. Ford offered rebates for current C-Max owners, with $550 going to those that bought their car and $325 to lessees. The issue, says Ford, stemmed from testing standards that allowed the automaker to base the C-Max's fuel economy on the Fusion Hybrid, because they use identical powertrains. The C-Max's less aerodynamic shape wasn't taken into account, though.
Whether Ford's PR team handled the crises perfectly or people just aren't that bothered by a four-mpg drop in combined ratings, demand remains strong for the C-Max among consumers. Ford moved 3,000 units in August, which was a 12-percent jump over July sales. Meanwhile, consumer demand through third-party shopping websites remains strong as well, according to Autometrics, a data analysis company that spoke with Automotive News. While the long-term effects of the adjustments remain unknown, the C-Max appears to have fared well in the near term.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
