Up for auction today is a beautiful original 1967
Ford Fairlane 500 2 door Hardtop. I have
owned this car for a couple of years and it’s time to thin out my fleet (have
10 cars right now and I think the wife is going to divorce me soon if I don’t
sell a few lol) so this car is going up for sale. It took me years to find this car and I will
miss it since I think it’s the best body style ever for the Fairlane.
Like I said I purchased the car a couple years ago
out of Texas (I refuse to buy any cars from the north rust belt) and fell in
love because it was an original car that has never been tinkered with. I have the original sales receipt for the
car, owner’s manual, Ownercard and several receipts for service done over the
years.
The car was purchased new from Anderson Ford in
Kingsport Tennessee on July 7, 1967 by Mr. Ralph Churchwell. The car cost Mr. Churchwell $3030.30 and
included optional 289 V8, Vinyl Trim, Select Shift Automatic Transmission,
735X14 White Sidewall tires, Power Steering, AM Radio and Full Wheel Covers. Mr. Churchwell lived in Tennessee for many
years and then moved to Texas (where I purchased the car) so the car has always
been a southern car until I purchased it.
Since I purchased the car it has always been garaged and I think I have
only driven it about 500 miles over the past few years.
The car is in very good condition and although it
will not earn you first place at the Concours d’Elegance it will turn heads as
you drive down the road and at local cruise nights. I have received countless compliments on this
car and many people can’t believe the condition of the underside of the car
since these were so prone to rust. This
car is an original numbers matching car that has not been butchered like most
of these old Fairlanes.
The body is in good shape and this car is laser straight
down the sides. I have seen many cars
that claim to be straight and look like oceans with all the work they have had
done to them. This again is laser
straight and from what I was told the car was repainted in the 80’s due to the
old paint fading out. Car was painted
the same color, Wimbledon White, and today the paint still looks good and has a
healthy shine to it. Back after the car
was repainted it was hit in the right rear quarter panel and the entire quarter
panel was replaced. The rear seam where
the quarter meets the rocker panel must not have been treated properly and
began to rust causing the bondo to bubble up.
The steel is rock solid but the evidence of the damage is there, not
horrible but noticeable (see photo included).
The area around the rear window also has a couple of small bubbles
evident again from I think was a proper prep job and the paint does have some
minor checking on the right rear quarter from too much liquor possibly when the
paint was mixed. Don’t get me wrong this
car is a true survivor and looks great but I want you to realize it does have
deficiencies. Both driver and passenger
doors have some small rust bubbles at the corners of the doors and the driver
side floor has a small amount of rust making it week (I removed the
undercoating so you could see it better and again see photos). The rest of this car is absolutely rust free
and amazing for being a survivor. Top of
the inner fenders (has the stamp marks on the fender aprons and radiator
support still) fender aprons, torque boxes, cross members etc. are all in
perfect rust free condition.
The interior is in good condition with some wear on
the driver seat and the top of the rear seat has started to break down (see
photos). The dash is in good shape and
the dash pad along with the door panels are in good condition.
The car runs nice, smooth and quiet and does not
leak any oil. The transmission works
well and if the car sits for a couple of weeks will leave a few drops of fluid
on the ground. If the car is cold and
has been sitting awhile it will take about three to five seconds to engage in
drive and after that she is good to go, if you drive it every couple of days or
weekly it does not do this. The A-arm
bushings are worn and should be replaced, I purchased new A-arms complete with
bushings and ball joints etc. last year but just have not had the time to
install them. The last thing I can think
of is the shifter linkage is a bit loose for some reason and it makes the
shifter sloppy. I just use the emergency
brake when I park the car to be on the safe side in case it was to disengage
from park. I have never had the car
change gears or anything like that while driving but you should know that it
does have some play in it.
The car had an aftermarket A/C system in it and I
will include it with the sale of the car.
It has the compressor, underdash unit etc. and looks complete but I
never installed it. Like I said if you
win the auction I will place it in the trunk for you along with the new A-arms
and whatever other parts I may have collected over the years for it.
Well I really can’t think of anything else to
mention about the car but I am sure I forgot something so feel free to email me
your questions and I will respond as quick as I can. Remember that this car is
almost 47 years old and not a new car, the car will be sold in AS-IS condition
with no warranty either expressed or implied.
I encourage anyone to come out and view the car and if you wish to have
someone look it over on your behalf I am more than happy to accommodate. This car was previously sold to a bidder in Australia who backed out of the deal due to sudden medical problems with his son. Just a FYI in case you were wondering.......

Back in October, there were reports that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were hard at work co-developing new nine- and ten-speed automatic transmissions, and now both automakers have confirmed this joint operation. While there are no specific vehicles mentioned to receive either transmission, a collaborative press release issued by GM and Ford mention that the transmission will be designed for front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, trucks and SUVs.
These aren't the first powertrain components developed jointly between these cross-town rivals, either. The six-speed automatic currently used in vehicles like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Equinox was engineered in a similar fashion. As is the case with this existing transmission, both automakers will assist in the design, development and testing of the new transmissions, but each will build its own units in its own factories. Scroll down for the official press release.

Just ahead of January's Detroit Auto Show, surprising rumors pegged Ford as revealing some sort of F-150 concept, perhaps as a hurried effort to deflate some of the buzz building around General Motors' new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, which were also making their auto show debut. Those rumblings turned out to be true, as Ford rolled into the Motor City with its Atlas concept (inset, right), touting the truck's bold styling as a precursor to the next-generation F-Series.
The show truck featured all kinds of clever details, including active wheel shutters and a front air dam that raised and lowered to improve aerodynamics while preserving off-road ability. It also had a genuinely snarly face. And it's that pugnacious snout that may well be on its way to production. The good folks at TopSpeed have worked up the plausible-looking artist's rendering above by cross-referencing the Atlas concept with what little has been revealed from recent spy shots. The look is toned-down pretty dramatically from the concept truck, but its Atlas roots are clear, with a massive three-bar grille and bracket-shaped headlamps hiding a next-generation EcoBoost engine. In the rendering, the show truck's deeply contoured hood and roofline have been ditched and larger, more traditional side mirrors have been fitted - all likely concessions in the move to production sheetmetal.
While Ford has yet to officially announce when it will unveil the 2015 F-150, all signs point to next year's Detroit Auto Show - one year after the Atlas shrugged off GM's new pickups.

Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.
