There will be a lucky buyer out there today because I unfortunately have too many projects and sadly this hopped up little fairlane will have to go bye bye. But somebody will be getting a great start to a super cool car!
Car has a pretty radical 390 in it. We got the car the way you see it. Very solid car compared to most of the fairlane projects you see out there. Previous owner put a lot of money in this car. Motor was supposedly rebuilt. Definitely has a really hot cam in it and a $600 set of super comp ceramacoated big tube headers and a nice 650 holley double pumper. TCI stall converter and built C6 with a posi 370 nine inch rearend. Car sounds really healthy but the shifter is currently not installed in the car but does come with it. We had a gas can under the hood rather than run the gas through the original gas tank just to start it when we bought it. Sounds MEAN!!!! We have never actually driven the car. Car is really solid in the floor and torque box areas. There is two spots on the rear frame on each side under the shackle that could easily be fixed. Couple small spots in trunk at both sides above the frame in trunk pan area, flat metal area and an easy fix as well. Car has solid rockers and solid fenders, trunk, and hood! The car will need a set of outer wheel houses and quarter skins because they cut out the wheel well to race the car for bigger tire clearance!
Car would make a really cool project for someone. We are keeping the front and rear rims from the car so it will be supplied with the Keystone Mags with the drag slicks that was on the car in the 70's and 80's when it was raced. The front rims will be rollers for transport purposes only |

Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.
NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
2015 Ford F-150 pricing announced, aluminum-bodied truck up just $395
Mon, 28 Jul 2014The eagerly anticipated Ford F-150 has had its 2015 pricing announced, adding only a small amount to the pickup's total cost, despite its weight-saving aluminum body. The XL and XLT entry level models only see a $395 boost over the heavier, current-generation, 2014 truck.
The XL starts at $26,615 while the XLT rings up at $31,890. The increase for Lariat is up a similarly negligible $895, to $39,880. Going up the ladder, meanwhile, the leather-intensive King Ranch sees the biggest jump of the F-150 family, with prices increasing $3,515, to $49,460. Finally, picking up the top-end Platinum trim will cost an extra $3,055, with prices starting at $52,155.
The higher prices are being blamed not only on the aluminum bodies, which trim up to 700 pounds of body fat, but on increased levels of standard equipment. While we were expecting a price hike, the fact that the 2015 F-150's volume trims - Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Reuters that the XL and XLT alone cover 70 percent of F-150 sales - have had less than a $400 increase is hugely impressive.
