This is an exceptionally fine, totally restored, 1965 Ford Fairlane 500, two door hardtop. This is a two owner car that has been in Georgia since birth. It was sold new at Carey Paul Ford in Atlanta and did not see a second owner for nearly 45 years. You will see in the photo section the original bill of sale and title. In fact, the original keys are still being used today. The body on this vehicle is almost unbelievable. It has all original metal and is as straight as it was coming off the assembly line. The exterior base/clear finish is impeccable. This is the original Springtime yellow and black interior, just as it came from the factory. The bumpers have been rechromed and all of the stainless steel trim is original, but has been meticulously polished to look almost new. The glass has all been replaced, including the tinted windshield. This car is not just nice, it is somewhat breath taking. The more you look and study this one, the more you will appreciate the countless hours that have been put into this restoration. The interior is all new including the door panels, seat covers, headliner, kick panels, and carpet. A custom am/fm/cd stereo and pair of gauges have been added below the dash. The engine compartment is highly detailed, in keeping with the rest of the car. A chrome engine kit has been added, as well as a new power brake booster and master cylinder. This is the original numbers matching 289, V-8 engine that has recently been rebuilt with documentation. The automatic transmission, also rebuilt, is original to the car as well. The undercarriage is solid as a rock with original floors and stock rear end. The brake system has all been redone with new stainless steel lines, new upper ball joints, sway bar, new rear springs, new gas tank, dual exhaust, stainless steel exhaust valve seats, and so much more. The trunk space is immaculate with a new spare tire, jack, wrench and floor mat. You can tell that no expense has been spared, nor detail overlooked. This car runs and drives as good as it looks on this new set of Nexen radial tires and Old Style American wheels. This is the original mileage showing on the odometer, 111k miles. The trophies you see in the photos are just the beginning of a collection that this car will earn over the years.

Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.
Ford profiles surprisingly affluent Focus ST buyers
Fri, 08 Nov 2013It comes as no surprise when Ford says that 32-percent of Focus ST buyers are under 35, but we weren't expecting this: the average annual salary of Focus ST buyers is $127,000. Twenty-two percent of non-ST Focus buyers are under 35, while their average annual salary is $67,000.
We like the Focus ST because it has 252 horsepower, is genuinely fun to drive and offers great value for performance-minded car enthusiasts; facts that are not lost on customers, it seems. Ford says that the Focus ST has the highest percentage of conquest sales for a non-hybrid model it sells, and that the top-four trade-ins are from Honda, Chevrolet, Mazda and Toyota. Demand for the hot Focus is strongest in Los Angeles, Detroit, Houston and Orlando.
"[The Focus ST is] having this kind of halo effect for other vehicles we'd hoped for when we invested in the ST brand," says John Felice, vice president of US marketing, sales and service, because it's helping to boost sales of other Ford vehicles.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
