1965 Ford Fairlane 500 4.7l...less Than 37k Original Miles..3rd Owner...survivor on 2040-cars
Lexington, Kentucky, United States
|
The car was purchased new in Springfield KY and spent over 40 years being immaculately cared for by the original owner. Unfortunately at the time of her passing the car was parked outside and abandoned for several years where the cosmetic problems began to develop. The problems with this car are completely cosmetic, mechanically it is in incredible working condition. We have replaced the gas tank, 4 tires, exhaust, complete tune up (including hoses and filters), clutch return spring, trunk rubber and will include additional rubber for the doors. The drums have also been inspected by our mechanic and are in excellent working order. The car runs, drives, stops, steers, shifts and does all that it should; the horn and blinkers are even in order. As mentioned in condition the rear panels are going to need a patch and the trunk does show rust though the metal is still solid. Again, both of these problems are issues of neglect. The frame on the car IS SOLID and shows no signs of collision. The car has less than 40K original miles as this is also stated on the current title which is clear. This car could be a daily driver currently and holds great potential for a complete restoration. It is located just outside Lexington, KY and we STRONGLY recommend inspecting/driving the car in person if at all possible. Please e-mail to make arrangements and please inspect the vehicle prior to bidding. We are more than happy to answer any questions so please do not hesitate to ask. Please also keep in mind the car is 49 years old, we have described its condition as accurately as possible commiserate with our ability. In the event of a winning bid, Cash in person or certified check must be received no later than 7 days after the end of auction. We welcome pick up of the car or will work with a shipper of your choosing to the best of our ability. Thank you very much for viewing and again, please do not hesitate to contact. PS The motor is black because my father rattle can painted the motor with an appropriate high heat paint. IF you would like a 70 year old white male uncomfortable with retirement my father will also be included with the car. |

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Watch live as Mark Fields is officially named Ford's next CEO
Thu, 01 May 2014We've heard rumblings of a changing of the guard at Ford, and this live stream from The Blue Oval itself is set to confirm the rumors: Alan Mulally will be succeeded by the automaker's current Chief Operating Officer, Mark Fields.
Mulally, who is 68 years old, has served at the head of Ford for eight years, and his official retirement date will be July 1st, 2014. Fields, who is 53 this year, has been with Ford for 25 years and has been groomed to take the helm from Mulally for the last several of those years.
There's an official press release that you can read, but if you're more of a visual person, you're welcome to watch the live video feed of the announcement down below.
Ford paying $750 million just to close plant in Belgium
Thu, 21 Mar 2013According to a report from Reuters, Ford is shelling out $750 million in a severance deal that will see the automaker close its facility in Genk, Belgium. The automaker reached this deal with the 4,000 hourly workers employed at the plant last week, which means the company will pay out an average of $187,500 per worker.
Ford is still negotiating with the 300 salaried workers at the factory, which currently produces the Mondeo sedan. All told, Ford expects to lose around $2 billion in Europe thanks in no small part to the region's ongoing economic downturn, and two more plants are scheduled to be shut down in Europe this year. The company will log its $750 million payout under "special items" for this quarter.
As you may recall, Ford took a similar path in the US back in 2009 when the domestic market took a spill. Back then, the company shelled out around $50,000 per employee with at least one year of experience, plus either $25,000 toward a new car or an extra cash payment of $20,000. It would seem the cost of closing plants in Belgium is a much harder pill to swallow than in the States...
