1957 Ford Retractable, Skyliner Fairlane 500, let me start out by saying that I bought this from the second owner a gentleman in north Alabama that bought the car in 1980, in 1979 the car was redone or restored, he drove the car for a few years and enjoyed it and then parked the car in a heated and cooled garage, and it stayed parked till about 6 months ago, he and his son uncovered the car and was planning on restoring the car till they done some homework and seen just what it would cost for a paint job and to get the car to show quality and then I bought the car. This is a factory 312 automatic blue and white skyliner convertible. The motor and transmission was told to me by the second owner to be original to the car, but their is no 100 percent way of telling with a 312 motor. The car is a factory p/s car, but no p/b. The car does come with a Continental Kit and Cruiser Skirts, but I am missing two pieces of the continental kit, the holder for the tire, and the flat pieces that actually covers the rim and tire, I have everything else, and the cruiser skirts are complete. As you can see in the pictures the car is missing a few pieces of trim, the father and son started to pull those pieces off to get the car ready of paint, and I am supposed to get those along with the missing continental pieces from them but they have yet to dig them out of their garage so I don't want to make any promises about those pieces but If I get them they will certainly go with the car to the next owner. However their are some trim pieces in the trunk of the car already, and it only appears to be missing the door handles and couple other trim pieces. The car other then that is complete, and all trim and bumpers that are still on the car appear to be in fantastic shape. The car will crank up and run and move under its own power, and their seems to be no issues with the drive train. The interior of the car is certainly useable, the seats and door panels appear to be in fantastic shape, however they did pull the carpet out and was going to replace it, so I do not have the carpet for the car. The body is straight and certainly wouldn't take much to get it ready for paint, their appears to be no rust issues with the car, if their is rust it is very very small or minimal, their is however one small crack in the passenger rear quarter panel right in the lip of the wheel well, and it appears to be a small stress crack from years of running the car with the cruiser skirts, other then that the car is just showing its age as far as paint issues, small rock and door edge chips, and some lacquer checking in a few places. Over all this is a great car, and certainly would make for a easy restoration project, and wouldn't take much to get to that show quality. I will say that one of the top motors just went out on me the other day, so the top was working, but will need one top motor rebuilt for sure. I do have the other wire wheel setup, its in the trunk of the car and makes for a full set, and I also have what appears to be a full gasket kit new for the car, the past owner went ahead and bought it for the car when he was planning on having the car painted. The car is for sale locally and is subject to be taken off Ebay if sold. The car is also sold as is with no warranty. A 25% deposit is due within 3 days of the auctions end and the balance within 7 more when the car is to be picked up or arrangements are made for the car to be shipped. If you have any questions about the car please fill free to ask and I will gladly answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks and God Bless Kody 251-454-5455 |

Here's the new face of the Ford Ranger
Thu, Nov 27 2014Ford Asia Pacific has put a teaser video on YouTube showing off details on the 2015 Ranger pickup, and at the end we get a quick glimpse of the whole truck. This is the T6 Ranger that we still don't get in North America, but that shares its underpinnings with the Everest SUV recently introduced at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. The Ranger gets a chunkier front end than the Everest, identified by its grille with three floating slats, reminiscent of designs on the previous F-150, and a less-stylized lower front bumper. Ford says it will be smarter, safer, smoother and stronger, but we'll have to wait for its reveal to find out what that means. Meanwhile, you can admire its new looks in the video below.
Ford GT inspires objects for Milan furniture show [w/videos]
Tue, Apr 14 2015Can't get enough of the lines on the new Ford GT? Then Milan is the place to be this month. That's where Ford will be presenting a series of objects whose designs were penned by the same talents behind (and inspired by) the company's new supercar. Set to be presented at the Salone del Mobile furniture show in the Italian metropolis, the collection ranges from tables, chairs and light fixtures to a sailboat, foosball table and electric guitar. "We have an incredible amount of talent in our global design studios," said Ford's chief designer Moray Callum. "Salone del Mobile is the perfect forum to share some of that creativity, while also offering our designers an opportunity to get exposure to new ideas that will inspire future Ford design." In addition to these seemingly random objects, Ford has also partnered with architect Attilio Stocchi to create a special light exhibition entitled "Favillia, Every Light a Voice," similarly inspired by the new GT. But if your plans won't be taking you to Milan anytime soon, you can check them out in the images above and the videos and press release below. This content is hosted by a third party.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
