This Auction is for One Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible and one Ford Fairlane 500 4door, to be sold as a PAIR.
~The 4door has a 312 v8 4 barrel motor. It is rusty, but complete except for the 9" rear-end. This was a one owner car and was purchased to use as a parts car to complete the convertible. This car ran when it was parked over 25 years ago, but have not tried to start it since. This car also features power steering.
~The convertible was a three speed with manual steering and manual transmission. This convertible is on a x-frame/convertible frame. The car has had a lot of sheet metal repair done.(look at the pictures of the rear fender and floor pans. In my opinion, it is not the best sheet metal repair I have seen, but definitely not the worst. Someone also cut holes in the motor mount. This car includes a large lot of trim, windshield trim and all of the convertible top pieces (one of the top pieces is bent, but can be fixed) This car is missing the rear seat, it did not have one when I got the car. I just bolted on the front end pieces to hold them in place for picture.
I have worked on a lot of 57 and 58 fords over the last three decades, I never had a chance to get to this one and would like to see it go to someone who will appreciate it and hopefully finish it. Please call me with any questions. Dan (208) 550-4363

2015 Ford Mustang production starts in Flat Rock
Thu, 28 Aug 2014Today's the day, Ford fans. Production has officially commenced on the sixth-generation 2015 Mustang at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. As production ramps up, sales should kick off in the coming months.
The production news isn't just a bit deal for American fans. With the new Mustang getting a bespoke right-hand-drive variant, the pony car's worldwide availability has swollen to include 120 different countries, including its home nation.
"Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement. "Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience - one unlike any other."
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible shown on Twitter [UPDATE w/video]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013It hasn't yet been 12 hours since the hotly anticipated 2015 Ford Mustang has been let out into public view. After a series of evocative leaks over the course of the last days, we brought you a full deep dive of the sixth-generation pony car at the dawning of today. And yet, here we are rushing to bring you news of a new Mustang variant, already.
Be it part of a plan to keep the Mustang fervor at full boil, or a misunderstood email somewhere in the chain of command, Ford UK has unceremoniously tweeted a picture of the 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible. For a newly global Mustang, getting our first look at the droptop from the convertible-crazy British does make some amount of sense.
As for details, well, you're looking at them. Brandon Turkus reported yesterday that the Mustang 'vert would make use of a fully electric convertible mechanism, and that it would be of fabric construction rather than some kind of retractable hardtop. We see here that the fabric part is clearly true, and it does look as though Ford may still be employing the same kind of manually attached tonneau cover that exists right now. Of course, our view from this angle isn't great, and the particulars are still up in the air.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
