Hello, this auction is for a 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door sedan. If you are wanting to build a Thunderbolt clone this is the exact car you need. All of the original Thunderbolts were 2 door post cars with the deluxe 500 trim. This car is very straight and with minor bodywork it could be painted. The only real dent in the car is on the passenger side near the corner of the back bumper. It is visible in the pictures. Currently this car runs and drives, it has a 289 2 barrel engine and a 3 speed manual transmission. I bought this car from the second owner and it was sold new here in the central valley. The car has no rust and no rust repair. Both the front and rear frame section show no signs of damage and on the underside of the car you can still see some of the original gold/silver paint. The previous owner bought the car from the original owners estate in 2002, he did quite a bit of work to the car to make it roadworthy as it had been sitting in a carport since 1983. ( I still have 1 of the original black plates with the 1983 sticker and the dealers license plate frame).
The work done to this car in 2002 by the previous owner is as follows:
1. Complete brake system rebuild. All 4 wheel cylinders and the master cylinder were replaced. In addition both the metal brake lines and the flex hoses were replaced.
2. 4 new Wheel Ventiques steel wheels were installed. The rears are 15x8 and the fronts are 15x7 both have reverse offset. New BFG TA radials were installed at this time too and the tread is still good but they do have some cracks.
3. Coolant was flushed and oil was changed in both the rear axle and the transmission. Also the fuel tank was professionally cleaned.
4. Front and rear seat were reupholstered in tan cloth.
5. The door jambs and the dash were repainted white. Also the exterior of the car was primered. When I got the car it was faded so I reprimed the car with PCL epoxy flat white primer.
Last week I rebuilt the carburetor, and replaced the fuel pump, the car runs well. Included in the auction is the 4 original door panels with armrests ( The armrests are in good condition but during storage the door panels got wet so they are really only good for patterns) and a new heater core. I also have the windshield wiper arms and the inside door handles and window cranks. The original air cleaner is the only item missing.
Payment & Shipping: Cash and local pickup is always preferred. If you are a long distance away I will be happy to work with you on shipping, however I would like the car to be picked up within 14 days of auction close. A $250 deposit via PayPal is due within 48 hours of auction close. If you don't use PayPal, please send me a message and I will be happy to work something else out with you.
Trades: Like everything else I have for sale I would entertain a full or part trade. No pickups, motorcycles or cars newer then the 1970's.
If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures of the car please feel free to e-mail or call 559-313-1454. Thanks Jeff.

2013 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 SUV
Thu, 13 Jun 2013Raptor, Excursion, Texas And Hennessey
Each of those words are synonyms for big and bold - combine all four and you've got one of the largest, most powerful and robust street-going sport utility vehicles in the world.
John Hennessey is a Texas-based tuner known for creating some of the fastest and most capable cars on the planet. Over the past two decades, machines like the Viper Venom 550, Ford GT 1000 Twin Turbo, HPE 700 LS9 Camaro and the almighty Venom GT have emerged from the Hennessey Performance garage. And those are just the celebrated flagships; the company has modified thousands of other street cars including those from Audi, Bentley, Cadillac, Ferrari, Ford, Porsche and Toyota, to name a few.
Ken Block's 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR and CR Supercars Villain are retro done right
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Gymkhana king Ken Block has had a pretty simple car history in his trademark videos, starting out with Subaru Impreza rally cars before moving into Ford Focus racers for the past four installments. His next video, though, Gymkhana Seven, kind of goes back in time.
Rather than the cutting-edge rally racers of past videos, Block will pilot a heavily modified 1965 Ford Mustang, called the Hoonicorn. How heavily modified is it? Well, Block's Hooligan Racing Division, ASD Motorsports and Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR, spent two years working on it, ditching the standard engine and rear-wheel-drive layout and replacing it with a 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8. Yes, that's a NASCAR engine, and it produces 845 horsepower.
A NASCAR-powered Mustang would be news in itself, but it's the other powertrain changes made by Block and Co. that really makes headlines. Power is channeled through a one-off Sadev transmission and all-wheel-drive system, meaning that Block has basically married a NASCAR stock car with a WRC racer. ASD also developed the customized suspension, tubular chassis and roll cage. The wide Mustang body is the work of RTR and Block's own Hoonigan Racing Division, while the 18-inch fifteen52 wheels are shod in Pirelli Trofeo R tires that use a specialized compound exclusive to Block.
Ford Transit gets outfitted for prison duty
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Between the Taurus-based Police Interceptor, the Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility and the F-150 and Expedition special service vehicles, Ford has no lack of offerings for law enforcement. And now it has one more in the form of the new Transit PTV.
Based on the fullsize Transit van, the Prisoner Transport Vehicle can move as many as 12 prisoners in three separate compartments between detention facilities. Created in collaboration with Pennsylvania-based Havis Prisoner Transport Solutions and with input from Ford's Police Advisory Board, the Transit PTV takes advantage of the Transit's considerable configuration options that include three roof heights, two wheelbases, three lengths and four body-styles - not to mention engine options that include the flex-fuel 3.7-liter V6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost and 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel.
"Transit PTV is the latest example of Ford's deep commitment to helping provide law enforcement agencies with capable vehicles. This concept proves Transit is upfit-ready and designed to Built Ford Tough standards," said Jonathan Honeycutt, Ford police marketing manager. "Many Police Advisory Board members have had the chance to drive this vehicle and they are excited about it. This new vehicle is tough, smart and efficient - ideal for the needs of law enforcement agencies."
