Classic And Clean 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 - Low Miles! on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States
Meet Gracie, my 1958 Ford Fairlane 500. Have to sell-moving to house with no garage or room to store. :( 4 door sedan - all original. Almost "Survivor" but had some body work done. Had the rust cut out, replaced with metal, and had the white repainted. Otherwise, she's all original! The 35,555 original miles on original 332 motor. I bought from the mechanic of the original owners who all lived in a small town in Nebraska. 3 speed automatic tranny. The seats have been completely covered in the original vinyl covers all these years until recently, so the fibers in the seat are vibrant and in perfect shape. I still have the form fitted vinyl seat covers but they aren't in the best shape. Glass has no cracks. Mirrors have darkened slightly around edges. Tires have a fair amount of tread. Rear tires are somewhat "dry."Heater works good. Has "air vents" and wing windows. All windows don't go down all the way. But function fine within a comfortable and useable range. Tube Radio is AM only. Headliner is in tact except for a small rip just above the rear seat on the pillar. The rest of the headliner is complete but at one point must have gotten wet because there's some water stains. Seatbelts are obviously not original. Carpet is in good shape in the rear and front passenger's side but faded. Under the driver's feet it's pretty torn up but covers well with floor mats. All electronics work. The temperature gauge is not functioning at the time. Motor is solid! As stated, these are original miles and appears to have been stored most of her years. There is a very minor oil leak, not significant. Exhaust is clear. I just had the brakes redone. Transmission does not slip. Paint is still glossy. The black shows the patina. Has a few nicks on the black, as it is original, but super shape overall considering the age. You can still see your reflection on the black. Exhaust system is good. Floor pans are solid. No obvious rust, but upon close observation you can find some surface rust in the hidden corners. Gracie turns heads and gathers crowds at car shows. Comes with small die-cast model of the '58 Fairlane, original Owners Manual, original floor mats (?) and memorabilia. Feel free to text with questions (402) 313-8325. This description is as transparent as can be. Thank you for shopping. |

First Ford Mustang prototype shots caught by legendary spy shooter Jim Dunne
Fri, 12 Apr 2013You know how people refer to someone as having "been around the block" to mean they're very experienced? Well, when it comes to automotive spy photography, Jim Dunne actually laid down the concrete slabs of the block's sidewalk. The unforgettable Dunne more or less invented the car spy game - a fact he cemented by writing book called Car Spy - and has been delivering spy shots and reporting on the industry for some 45 years now. (He also once employed this writer as his impromptu personal chauffer on a Volkswagen trip in Germany, while he slept, but that's a story for a different time.)
In any event, Dunne must be on a mission to prove that "elder statesman" doesn't also mean "washed up" as it is his shots of the upcoming new 2014 Ford Mustang that we've been handed by our friends at KGP Photography.
Mr. Dunne has likely spent the last few years obtaining powerful telescopic lenses, as the Ford in question has clearly been photographed from some distance. Nevertheless, what you see here is visual evidence that the sixth-generation Mustang has moved beyond the mule stage, and is now testing in proper prototype form. Sources indicate that there are production-spec body panels under that baggy canvass dress; but the slightly less bulky silhouette of the new car can be just made out. While the car's bumpers have been removed to obfuscate things, we can tell by way of the camo's apertures that the car's taillights have moved upwards and towards the lip of the tail. A fender vent appears to be visible, too, just behind the front wheel.
Ring Brothers shows 1965-66 Mustang fastback carbon fiber body
Thu, 07 Nov 2013We covered one of Ring Brothers' more extreme SEMA builds yesterday, the De Tomaso Pantera-based ADRNLN, but if that well-executed but over-the-top Italian-American exotic is too much for you, then perhaps this Ring Brothers 1965 Ford Mustang fastback with a carbon-fiber body suits your tastes better.
What the performance-parts manufacturer is showcasing with the Mustang is the carbon-fiber body itself, which is fashioned around the 1965-66 fastback. It can be bought from the company and bonded to the skin and unibody as a do-it-yourself project, or you can take your Mustang to Ring Brothers and have the body installed there. The fenders, doors and quarter panels are two-inches wider than stock, and Ring Brothers offers a custom widebody chassis to those who want the complete package.
The show car looks sharp in person lowered on HRE wheels, and we appreciate the bare front end so we can see the supercharged V8 and front coilover suspension, though the details on those performance upgrades are slim. Also note the custom independent rear suspension setup at the rear.
Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
