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.

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
