1968 Fastback Ford Fairlane/torino on 2040-cars
Upatoi, Georgia, United States
|
This 1968 Fairlane is not perfect but it is a very nice weekend cruiser. I just completed working on this car. I spent two years bringing her back to life. She is a Factory AC Car with a freshly rebuilt 302 roller motor. It has a Trick Flow Stage one roller camshaft, Crane 1.7 roller rockers and GT 40 heads. Automatic was on Colum but now has a B&M floor shifter. C4 tranny with a 2000 stall converter with a custom built driveshaft attaching to a 4:11 8 inch posi traction rear end. The differential has clutches not a mini spool so she turns and drives as modern performance cars. New headliner, seat upholstery and carpet. Black interior. This car was just painted original 1968 Ford green ( it has a few small scratches /blemishes but it looks pretty darn good. Under car is VERY CLEAN. All pans, rails, torque boxes etc are original and nearly perfect! You just don't find a car that is rust free like this one very often. New chrome for front and rear bumpers and the trim is all there. Trim isn't perfect but it looks really good; the worst is the. The diff is new, motor is new, driveshaft is new, carpet is new, headliner is new, seat upholstery is new, bumpers both front and rear just triple chromed. The duel exhaust and headers are new, tires and rims are used but great shape factory correct except they have the Torino GT Emblems on them, the dash is a 9 out of 10. Also flushed fuel cell and installed new pick up tube. This was a 289 car but had a rod thru the block. I have a lot of time and money in this car. My price is far below what's been put in it; come take her home for Christmas. Drive her anywhere but remember she is geared for local cruising. AC system is all there but I have not attempted to charge it. One of the cables that control heat/cool is frozen up. This car does have power steering and works great. Overall this is a nice car that is fun to drive around on weekends and just cruising the neighborhood. She's got a little pep to her as well probably in the ball park of high 12s in the 1/4 mile.

Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.
Project Ugly Horse: Part VII
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks
Mon, 21 Apr 2014The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.
