Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States
|
This is a very cool little Ford 66 Fairlane 500 4-speed convertible. The car was parked 10 years ago and stored inside . We changed the oil and with some minor brake bleeding and fresh fuel it fired right up and drove around the building. We currently are running the engine from a 1 gallon jug because the tank needs flushed . The power top works great but the black canvas is torn and needs replaced . The car appears to have one repaint with some rust showing in the left rear quarter in front of the tire and front and rear drivers side floors are rusted out. The passenger floors seem pretty solid. The trunk drop offs ,trunk pan, rocker panels, frame rails, rear quarter wheel lips , and all other vital areas seem very solid and intact . The paint is dead and faded with chips and peeling and old faded finish. The interior is tired but very complete . The car shifts great and the engine runs very well . The car appears to have came as a AC car but compressor is gone from the engine. The 289 is a 2bbl engine with a 4-speed trans . I have a clean up to date title for the car and the car is located 15 minutes west of Oklahoma City in Mustang Oklahoma zip 73064.... serious buyers can call or text 405-473-3204 thanks

How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.

Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]
Tue, 11 Feb 2014A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.
