For sale, with no reserve, is my 1959 Ford Fairlane project/parts car.
I won this car in a Poker game back 2006 and it was driving. I drove for a year or two then started to tear down to do some restoration and engine work.The car was complete when I started and I have every part including nuts and bolts that I didn't have to torch off. I had pulled the engine block and had a machine shop do the boring and honing on the cylinders, I have the motor half put back together with new pistons, camshaft and remanufactured crankshaft. That's about where I stopped as I had to take a job out of state but still live in KY. So no more time to mess with it and also need to make more room for wife's new car.
The body is sketchy in places but it did go through some half-ass restoration back about 20 years ago the original owner told me. The interior has been completely torn out but I have all the seat frames but not the door panels as they were trash. I saved some of the material to match.The car has a clear Florida Title.
I have tons of pictures I have taken. They are all at: http://s1359.beta.photobucket.com/user/CMLINDGREN13/library/?evt=email_share
Winner of this no reserve auction will need to pickup the car, parts and take it all away.
Any other questions please fell free to email me.
Almost forgot the best part ... THE CAR'S CLAIM TO FAME IS THAT IT HAS BEEN TURNED DOWN BY RICHARD RAWLINGS AND "GAS MONKEY GARAGE" NOT ONCE BUT TWICE NOW as a FREE donation to them. Too far for them to come get it as I was told. Oh well no super stardom for this ride.

Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown
Sun, 18 May 2014A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."
Watch Piquet and Mansell bend some sheetmetal in Ford Fusion GP
Tue, 12 Feb 2013As we told you about before, there were four episodes planned for the Ford Fusion GP campaign in Brazil, and the whole series has now run its course. The Ford ads pit Brazilian Formula One driver Nelson Piquet against English F1 pilot Nigel Mansell driving the new Fusion, the two coming together again after their partnership at the Williams F1 team ended in a miserable state more than 20 years ago.
They're lined up for you below, in reverse chronological order. You should watch number three first, though, as it adds a bit more spice to the NASCAR action in the fourth.
Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
