Offered up for sale is my 1957 Ford fairlane 500 2 door project car. I pulled this car out of a warehouse where it had been sitting for about 6 years. The previous owner had intentions of restoring the car but lost interest over time and it just sat. This is a good car to put some time and money into you can make it real sharp with a little work. The previous owner tells me the engine is a 390 FE from a mid 60's thunderbird I have never checked the numbers to confirm that. he also told me the trans was recently rebuilt before he parked it and it looks like it from the outside. After I purchased it I soaked the engine cylinders with marvel for about two weeks before checking to see if the motor was free which it was. I then put on a new carb, complete distributor, battery, starter solenoid, voltage regulator, fuel pump and coil. The wiring under the hood was in sad shape so I constructed my own harness just to get into run and removed the ignition switch from the dash so I can start it from the fender. I also have it running from a gas can I am sure the tank should be replaced or boiled out. I got the car running again and it runs pretty good. It does get a lifter tick from time to time but that is probably from sitting and needs to pump up. I have only ran it for a few minutes never attemted to drive it because of the brakes. I removed the master cylinder and booster because the pedal was frozen soild from sitting. I have done nothing else to the brakes. I have four new wheel cylinders and new front hoses that will come with the car but you will need to get a master for it. You can purchase one from speedway automotive with the power booster for about $150.00 The body looks decent it is not a barret jackson show car paint job but more of a driver quality job. the body seems real solid the floors look good as well from what i can see from underneath. It did have some rocker panel work and I am sure it has some bondo. The frame looks good as well from what I can see on the ground. I do have the rear quarter panel trim that is not on the car and it will come with it. I do have a front bumper that will come with the car but I do not have the rear, you can get one from bumper boyz the bumper I have will need rechroming. I also have aquired the missing interior window trim you will see in the trunk photo which comes with the car. The interior has had the seats redone, new door panels, rug and headliner the missing door handles are in the glove box. The car has a factory town and country radio still in the dash as well. This was an original spotlight equipeed car so it still has the hole in the dash but I do not have the spotlight for it. This is a great project car for someone with mechanical ability it is a real solid starting point. I would much rather start with something like this that some rustbucket pulled out of the woods. Someone is going to get a heck of a deal here and with some money and time could have a $15000 car easily. But like I said earlier this is not a frame off barret jackson restoration it is an unfinished attempt of a enthusiast resto. This must have been a sharp car when new if you decode the vin tag it was a woodsmoke grey with grey interior powered by a 245 hp 4 bbl 312 y-block. I do have a clear NC title for this car in my name I am not a dealer, do not offer financing, am not interested in any trades. The only reason I am selling this car is I need the space not the money, I just purchased a 55 Chevy Gasser that is sitting at a freids house until this car sells. If it does not sell I will just stick it in a storage unit but I would hate to do that. It has sat for long enough I would rather it got finished and back on the road. Please remember with the transportation for the car it is not drivable it will need to be winched onto whatever is picking it up. Please be sure to read my terms and conditions below and ask any questions BEFORE BIDDING I thank you for looking at my auction and may you have a blessed day.

Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.

How Ford hid the 2015 Mustang from spy photographers
Fri, 20 Dec 2013Now that we've finally seen the 2015 Ford Mustang, it's fun to go back and look at the spy shots we spent months pouring over, trying to dissect what was under all the camouflage. For the most part, Ford did a good job of concealing the car from spy photographers, and it released a video showing how much work went into doing so.
As crude as the Mustang's camo looked, all of the hard plastic, foam, vinyl and ratchet straps were actually created and put in place by a specific design team. The whole idea was to hide the car's identity, but it certainly ended up acting as a magnet for attention, too. According to Ford's press release, it took less than an hour for spy shots to appear online after the car was taken on public roads for the very first time - this is likely in reference to our first official spy shots of the Mustang from June, shown in the gallery below.
Scroll down for a press release and video, which shows footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang testing with minimal camouflage. This is probably the same track session where we got our first look at the Mustang's face back in August.
