SELLING AT NO RESERVE!!!

55 Ford Fairlane Two Door Sedan.  Ford 8cyl motor with manual transmission -- 3 speed in the column.  Two Tone Red on White paint in fair condition; 17000 showing on title; fair tires and full wheel hub caps; good interior (pretty sure its not original); straight exhaust with good sound.  I have decided to sell it as-is. It has all the original chrome parts that will go with the car.

272 V8 engine, converted from 6-volt to 12-volt, 3 speed in the column.
Transmission and carburetor was rebuilt & the cluster gear was replaced within the last 2 years--I have receipts for them. It has aluminum radiator, straight exhaust (no muffler), no power steering or brakes, but both brakes/steering are good. Most parts connected with the engine have been replaced with the exception of the engine and generator--both are still good.

Upholstery is in good condition, carpet is in place (needs to be cleaned) and white wall tires in good condition with original Ford hubcaps. There are some small cosmetic pieces that need replacing --must see.

This car run and drives.  I've owned it several years and have a good clean title.  Sells as-is, where-is, no warranties or guarantees. Selling at no reserve, highest bidder gets the car.  You may view the car before then auction ends by appointment. You are responsible for everything associated with transportation, scheduling pick-up/paying/delivery, etc.  I will assist you or your trucking company with loading.  Currently stored inside garage and I will allow it to stay inside until picked-up if done within a reasonable time.

NADA Classic Car Value Guide - Low Retail 6,440.00; Avg. Retail $15,640.00; High Retail $20,700.00.  Great investment, rare car, not making any more of these.

Contact me thru eBay's "Contact Seller" with email questions, or offers (I reserve the right to end the auction at any time). Send me your phone number if you want me to call you.  Serious buyers only, got no time for tire kickers.  If you want to buy this car have your wife's permission and your funds lined up before you bid. Car must be paid in full before it leaves here.

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
