1957 Ford Fairlane Nascar Convertible Series Tribute To Fireball Roberts. Wow! on 2040-cars
Wilmington, North Carolina, United States
|
Guess who is going into The NASCAR Haul Of Fame? Fireball Roberts is going into the NASCAR Hall Of Fame this January. Here is a car built to honor his memory and success in the sport.
This is not a race car but it was "purpose built" to look as close as possible like the ones used on the track and the beaches of Daytona. It houses a period correct 312 Y Block motor and a 3 speed column shifter transmission. The car runs and drives great and I have spent loads of money trying to continually improve the driving experience of this vehicle. We also completed the 2013 Great Race with the car and drew huge crowds at every stop along the way.
If you want a traditional classic car, this one is not for you. If you want a true collector car that represents NASCAR history then nothing does it better than this one.
The car is very solid with no know rust or damage. We recently installed dyna-mat and installed the correct badging for the car. We have gone through the suspension, drivetrain, electrical, brake system etc. IT IS NOT PERFECT but it is super cool and can be driven anywhere.
Take a look at all the pictures, do all your homework and understand the true value. After all that is completed you can call me with questions at 910-262-6112 or shoot me an email. This is not a crisis sale so please don't make silly offers.
We reserve the right to sale the car and end the auction process. We will help with any shipping at the buyers expence.

Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer
Fri, 13 Dec 2013To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.
Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados
Thu, 22 May 2014Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship season, and Ford Racing produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz Formula One car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta on its roof. Top Gear also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.
