Rockmart, Georgia, United States
Up for sale is my personal 1965 Ford Fairlane 500 4 door sedan. I found this car sitting inside of a warehouse over a year ago and bought it from the original owners Grandson.
The car had been sitting inside since 1990. I was told the odometer was indeed the actual mileage and it is not staggered like they do when they roll over. I brought the car home and pulled the fuel tank off, cleaned it out, treated it, cleaned the fuel lines and carburetor, Undercoated the entire under carriage, changed the fluids, re installed the fuel tank and have been driving it around town since. All of the glass is good, new wiper blades, all lights work, blinkers, etc. heater works good, AM radio plays good, has sport coupe flipper hubcaps, original spare and jack assembly still in place, 289 engine runs smooth, transmission shifts as should. Car needs a minor restoration It's NEEDS include, brake adjustment, likes to pull to the left a little, bumpers need re chromed ,will need tires, these have good tread but are dry from sitting, needs front floor pan patch panels, the rear is solid and the trunk pan is solid, as are the rocker panels, under neath the doors etc. Car received a repaint in the mid 1980's It will need to be stripped and repainted, there are some minor body flaws such as dings and a couple of small dents but nothing major, car does have some old filler that will need to be repaired, but not much, it was not a rust bucket nor is it a rust bucket. It's a very fun old car to drive, gets a lot of attention , I am just ready for a new toy.

Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
2016 Ford Mustang SVT hides big power under its domed hood
Tue, 17 Jun 2014With a number of 2015 Ford Mustang versions finally available to configure, the fun of speculating about next year's high-performance 'Stang can now begin. It looks like Ford has something seriously fun planned too. One of our spy photographers just snapped some fresh pics of the 2016 Mustang SVT, which is believed to be hiding the final body shape under all of that heavy camouflage.
Ford clearly doesn't want prying eyes looking at its new pride and joy. It would be hard to put much more obfuscation on a car than this one wears - it even has mesh baffles around the exhausts to conceal how many there are and panels over the wheels to hide their design. However, the Blue Oval can't keep everything a secret. The biggest clue that something special is hidden underneath is the massive hood bulge and vent in front of it. Clearly, whatever is under there is hungry for cool air. The shape of the camo indicates that there may be fender vents on each side, and there are also obscured outlets behind the front wheels likely to pull cool air through the brakes. At the rear, the concealment does its job, making it hard to observe any big changes. The fact that Ford wants it kept such a secret might indicate something, though.
A few photos of the interior show far less cover than the outside. You can easily make out the model's 6,500 rpm redline with a possible 7,000 rpm over-rev function. The big Recaro sport seats also look quite supportive.
