 I am just the seller,and the owners Son-in-Law of this Very Cool 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 2 Door Hardtop,with only 95,493 original miles.My Mother-in-Law inherited it from her Husband,and her Husband inherited it from his Mother,the Original Owner,which he was her only son.Which he licensed in 2008 and only drove it a few times and had 4 new radials put on it,and not long after he got sick,and put it back inside where it stayed until now!Which the original owner purchased it Brand New in her 50's after her husband passed away,and she only drove it to work for a while and to Church and the store,and it was always garaged.And it was bought in Denver,Colorado and I was told it never left Denver until she moved to Trinidad,Colorado to live with her son due to her age and health,and it was driven there by her son.But recently the Son of the original owner passed and now my Mother-in-Law and I are offering this Great Car for auction through eBay!And I was told the original owner drove it until the late 1980's,until she was in her 70's,and at that point the plastic covers were still on the seats,which the son removed.I call this a One Owner,because the Son who inherited it drove it a few times and put it back inside,like it had always been stored.And not too long after that,he passed,and now his Wife inherited it,my Mother-in-Law,so the last name on the title hasn't changed since 1966,and no one really driven it since the original owner.I listed this 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 2 Door Hardtop in April of 2013,and I took pictures of it dirty and dusty in a dark building where it was stored,and the bidders didn't really get to see how good it really was.And I also stated that it probably just needed a battery and it surely would start and drive.Since then I went back to Trinidad,CO,and installed a battery,and put fresh gas in it,and tried to start it and gas ran out of the accelerator pump on the carb.So I professionally rebuilt the Autolite 2 barrel carb,and it runs very smooth and quiet and it doesn't smoke,and it runs and drives very good.Which I didn't even put points and plugs in it,it's running that good,sounds amazing no engine noises at all,and I drove it about a mile to test it,and all I can say it's Super Nice!And now we've moved my Mother-in-Law here to Nebraska,and I towed the Car here on a trailer also.So I went through it and seriously cleaned it,vacuumed all the dirt off the floors,cleaned and treated all the Seats,Door Panels,Dash,,Back Deck,and even the trunk,which still has the original Firestone Bias spare tire,which I put all back together on it original mount,just like the decal inside of the the trunk lid shows.If you looked at the last listing of the Car back in April,it looks like a different Car now,and if I didn't have so many cars of my own,I would be after this one!This 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 came with the 289 Cubic Inch V-8,Automatic Transmission,Power Steering,and AM Radio,and it is all original,and when I went through the paper work,I saw the Husband changed the fuel pump in 2006,and now I've rebuilt the carb,and that's all that has been done,and the brakes feel and sound good.And all the glass is very good also,no cracks and very clean also.There is no rips or tears in the Seats,front and rear,but there is one tiny hole about the size of a pencil on the top outside corner of the drivers seat(shown in picture)and and one tiny small crack in the dash,next to the dash speaker,coming off one corner(shown in picture also)but surely both of them 2 flaws could be repaired,small problems!Even the original carpets look amazing look amazing,the only wear spots I can find is where it folds over the threshold to the floor from light normal use,but nothing really noticeable.And no rips or tears in the Headliner or Sun Visors,remarkable condition!And it only has minor rust around the rear wheel openings mostly small area at bottom rear wheel openings,and it has all solid floors inside the Car and even in the trunk,and it is missing one rear wheel opening molding,and a little paint loss and light surface rust on the bottom side of the hood,but minor stuff.And only has a few scrapes and scratches and a few minor dings,and the worst one is on the drivers side rear quarter by the taillight,and it isn't to bad,all shown in pictures.Very strait Car,if I didn't own so many now I would have never listed it,I would have bought it myself!And it does have a good dent in the rear bumper(Grandma Dent!)And all the Hubcaps look good but one,and I just happened to have a nice one in my stuff,which is in a box in the trunk,It is in a White Paint with a Reddish Maroon interior.I didn't look for the VIN on the motor,because I know it has all its original drive train!This is a totally untouched 1966 Ford Failane 500 2 Door Hardtop,that has never had the motor rebuilt,never been repainted or repaired or restored,stone stock original.Don't miss this one,you don't find Cars like this never,at least to my knowledge.And I am a Serious Enthusiast/Car Guy of over 35 years of building Muscle and Classic Cars!And this is a Real Beauty,never tampered with,Great One to Restore,or just do the body work paint and drive,the interior is that nice!There will be a $750.00 deposit due within 48 hours of the end of Auction through Paypal,and the remaining balance in Cash to the owner upon  pickup of the Car,in North Platte,Nebraska,at my residence.After auction winning bidder will get my phone number,to make arrangements to pick the Car up,I would advise a trailer,because it hasn't had any highway miles for several years.If there is any taxes due after the sale of the Car,should be the responsibility of the buyer,I am not responsible for any sales tax,I'm just the seller!If this description seems long,it is because I was trying to give bidders all the history I received from the family,and I tried to explain everything to the best of my knowledge.Sorry I don't have a lift to get any pictures from underneath the Car,but it has all solid floors and in the trunk,and I looks under the mat.!But don't miss your chance at this one,untouched by any amateur restorer!The remaining balance of the sale must be made within 7 days after the auction in person,or can make arrangements to pick it up even sooner after the sale!But the Car has to be sold "AS IS" with no warranty,But don't let that detract you,this is the nicest original not restored 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 on eBay!And it is outside for the duration of the sale,so local bidders will have a chance to see it,but it is safe.And If you would like more pictures give me an email address or somewhere to send more,because I took more than 3 times the amount I can use on an eBay listing.

Wrap up some fun with Ford's commercial vehicle configurator

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

Ford has combined multiple steps into one with its commercial vehicle configurator, which allows users to choose, design and place orders for the Transit, Transit Connect, E-Series vans and F-Series Super Duty trucks.
The most interesting part of the new configurator is a fairly robust design tool. Users are able to choose paint color and wrap the vehicle, and then create their own graphics. No materials are needed - Ford provides numerous background textures, text boxes, plenty of shapes and 20 categories of images including floral, construction, plumbing and skylines. Self-created designs or images can be uploaded to the system as well.
We played around with the design tool a bit and uploaded our own image to create the Autoblog Podcast Live van you see here. Feel free to check out the configurator and make your own design.

TX officer allegedly lets 140-mph street racer go with a warning [w/poll]

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Being pulled over by the police is one of the most nerve-racking situations that a driver can go through, and it's even worse when you know that the officer has you dead to rights for speeding well over the posted limit. In this video, the driver of a heavily modified Ford Mustang with a claimed 966 horsepower at the rear wheels could have easily lost his ride for doing triple-digit speeds and street racing, but a friendly Texas police officer appears to send him on his way with a simple warning.
What's more, the driver in question wasn't just speeding - his Mustang was the camera car for a bunch of rolling street races in the wee hours of the morning on a Texas highway. The driver was more than willing to mix it up in the action, too. Eventually the cops catch on and pick the 'Stang to pull over, but not before the Ford owner runs a claimed 140 mph. With only audio to go on after the car is pulled over, the police officer seems incredibly nonchalant about catching someone who was so brazenly breaking the law. Incredibly, the patrolman actually tells the driver that he's seen everyone racing tonight but ignored them. With traffic picking up, the cop says that it's time to "cut it out" and go home for the night. As far as this video shows, that was the end of it.
Warning: There is explicit, not-safe-for-work language in the video below.

Leno talks racing with NASCAR racer Joey Logano

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

Jay Leno has to be under significant pressure knowing the appetite his fans have for a new Jay Leno's Garage video every week. This time, Jay takes a break from his usual format (something he's been doing with some frequency as of late) and goes back to his roots as a talk show host. There's no classic in the garage his episode with an interesting story to tell and a sumptuous exhaust note. Instead, the focus is purely on interviewing 23-year-old NASCAR racer Joey Logano about what it's like to be a racecar driver in his Ford Fusion.
Logano started racing at the tender age of six and has risen up the circle-track ranks to the big show of the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The two of them talk about what it's like to compete in the sport today compared to yesteryear, and Logano shares some racing anecdotes. Of course, they also get into what it's like to be on the racetrack controlling a car with about 850 horsepower, a four-speed manual transmission and brakes without any power boost. Scroll down to watch the video.
