1960 Ford Fairlane 500 Two Door Sedan Cool Hot Rod Rat Rod Nascar Collectable on 2040-cars
Bismarck, North Dakota, United States
Very solid, straight Ford sedan. All original, all there right down to the small hubcaps, jack and spare. RUNS & DRIVES AND HAS BRAKES!!!! This car has sat in a backyard since the 80s but I put a battery in it, poured some gas in the carb and she started right up.
I hot wired in because the key is missing. Lifters click a little and she smokes some but I only ran it about 15 minutes. I think you could adjust lifters and run some fresh oil in her and the old 292 might be OK. Transmission works good and brakes work. She is running off of a 2 gallon jug you can see under hood because gas like is plugged and tank needs cleaned. Body is very straight with 30 year old repaint. Has small rust hole in lower quarter I tried to show in pictures and has small hole under driver foot where there is a hole in mat. Surface rust in trunk. Would take very little patching to repair. Interior is all there but pretty shabby, door panels probably usable. Headliner bad. Please non payers stay away, this car is going to sell so bid only if you are serious about owning this car. Clear North Dakota title in hand. Car can be hauled by normal transport. Starts, runs, drives. Installed aftermarket ignition switch to run. Non English speaking foreign bidders do not bid or your bid will be cancelled. Very hard to find in this condition, would make awsome hotrod or a nascar tribute replica. You could tune her up, put some seat covers on and drive her the way she is. Call or text with questions. seven o one 471.9063 |

Ford gets colorful with Mustang anniversary infographic
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Preparing to celebrate its 50th birthday, the Ford Mustang has seen a lot of vehicle trends come and go, and this especially goes for paint colors. Using historical production data, Ford has managed to create an infographic dating back to 1967 that breaks down the three top Mustang colors for each year as well as calling out some of the more interesting trends and colors over the years.
Over its five generations, the Mustang has been offered in a seemingly endless rainbow - from Playboy Pink in '67 and color-changing Mystichrome on the 2004 Cobra - but the most popular has always been red, which is the color of choice for 21 percent of all Mustangs ever made. Almost every year since 1967, red has been among the top three colors for the Mustang, but other popular colors have included blue, white, brown and, most recently, black. There are even websites and registries available for people owning certain-color Mustangs.
As the all-new 2015 Mustang gets ready for its debut later this year, there's no telling what kind of exciting and/or wacky colors Ford has in store. Click on the image above to see the full infographic (choose the "large" option for optimal viewing), or check it out in a smaller size along with the press release posted below.
Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.
Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
