This auction is for a 1965 Ford Fairlane 500, and she runs. This is the story behind this car: I purchased this from a man who bought it NEW in 1965 for his Mother. He states, “She drove it nowhere for 20 years, and then gave it back to me.” This gentleman is a “pick-up truck” kind of guy, so this sat in his barn for the most part. He says he drove it rarely, just to make sure it started, and he kept it up. He has an emotional attachment to it, as his mother is now gone. The miles on this car, 19,370.8 are the only miles on it. Everything is original. The glass is original without a crack or a chip. The jack and crow bar in the trunk are original and the “how-to” diagram is still pasted to the inside of the trunk. Even the cigarette lighter is accounted for. Original keys and owner’s manual also included. The frame is straight as an arrow. The hood opens, stays open and shuts perfectly. The trunk opens, stays open, and shuts perfectly. Each door shuts and opens perfectly. You can really tell how little actual wear there is on the frame when you open and shut the doors. All the lights work, signals and brakes. You tap a button on the floorboard to switch to bright lights. Speedometer and gas gauge work. I purchased this car almost a year ago, with ideas of grandeur of fixing it up for fun. I find though that I’m more of a “mini-van” kind of woman. I’ve done a couple of things. Oil change, air and oil filter, spark plugs and spark plug wires, and I’ve had the original carburetor refurbished by a man in NJ (He’s actually on eBay!) I find this isn’t exactly my thing, and more important details in my life that require my attention (such as four kids, two jobs, etc.) supersede the restoring of this vehicle. And I just can’t let it sit in my back yard, covered with a tarp anymore. I’ve registered it for four years, paid extra for the ‘collector’s’ plate, and it’s insured…but to what end? This is not going to happen for me in my life right now. This baby still needs some TLC. She needs new tires for sure. The upholstery needs to be replaced. The seals around the windows need to be replaced. New seat belts need to be installed as there are only two lap seat belts in the front seat, none in the back. I’m pretty sure those aren’t to code. She needs painted. I’m not sure if the AM radio works. Do they still broadcast in AM? I can barely hear it, so I think it’s the speakers. Here’s what I know is a flaw: 1. The horn doesn’t work. 2. There is a small dent under the front driver’s side panel. Not visible from the front. I took a detailed photo of it. 3. The “R” in the front where is says “FORD” is missing. The engine is small, it’s a 200 in-line six. It does not have power anything. No power steering. No power windows. Drum brakes, not powered. No A/C. ‘Three on the Tree’ manual shifting. Did I mention, she’s a runner? Once yellow with a tan interior, now she’s more of an Ivory color. I have been on eBay for 15 years now and have impeccable feedback (this is my third job really). As you can see, I deal mostly in ladies lingerie and household collectables. I have never sold a car on eBay. Come to think about it, I’ve never sold a car. I have someone who is willing to assist me in questions you may have about this car, that I can’t answer. So feel free to ask, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. The title is clear, and I have it. |

Focus RS shreds in prep for Goodwood hillclimb
Tue, Jun 23 2015The Goodwood Festival of Speed is rapidly becoming a second home for Ford's hottest versions of the Focus. Last year, the updated Focus ST and high-performance diesel debuted there, and this year the motoring event has been selected to show off the new 2016 Focus RS. To get a little exercise before speeding up the hill climb, the Blue Oval unleashed its upcoming hyper hatch on a Belgian test track. Based on this clip, Ford's test driver has absolutely no problem whatsoever in making the Focus RS slide, at least with the stability and traction control off. Interestingly, while the RS shares its 2.3-liter EcoBoost with the latest Mustang, the Blue Oval's engineers give it a much different exhaust note here. Rather than a growling muscle car, this example has much more of the staccato bark of a rally-bred machine, which is a great fit. The all-wheel drive, 315-horsepower Focus RS should be arriving at dealers soon, and we're definitely looking forward to seeing and hearing it take on the Goodwood hill during the upcoming event.

Ford Focus ST diesel estate in track showdown with Focus ST hatch
Sun, Jan 18 2015Diesel hot hatches are still a concept that's gaining ground. Obviously, there are none for sale in the US, but European buyers have the choice of at least the Volkswagen Golf GTD and Ford Focus ST Diesel. What better way to find out how the new, high-performance oil-burner really stacks up than for Ford to stage a race against the gasoline-fueled Focus ST? On paper, the ST Diesel is at a big performance detriment here. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque compared to 247 hp and 266 lb-ft for the gas version in this race. However while not a factor for this race, the oil-burner does offer better fuel economy and produces less CO2, which makes a difference for European buyers. Ford skews the race results by giving the ST Diesel Estate a two-second head start for this one-lap battle around the Castle Combe Circuit. Also, this is a video from the Blue Oval, which is going to further minimize the appearance of weakness for its vehicles. Still, both STs really get to show off their strengths, and it's worth seeing how the sibling rivalry shakes out at the finish line.
UAW warns automakers: Restarting U.S. plants is 'too soon and too risky'
Fri, Apr 24 2020WASHINGTON/WARREN, Mich. — The head of the United Auto Workers union on Thursday said it was "too soon and too risky" to reopen auto plants and Michigan's economy in early May, citing insufficient scientific data and coronavirus testing to assure workplaces are safe. The warning from UAW President Rory Gamble on Thursday afternoon came as General Motors Co , Ford Motor Co and Toyota Motor Corp took new steps toward reopening North American vehicle manufacturing operations in an environment where consumer demand is uncertain and worker safety paramount. The union has said that 24 of its members have died from Covid-19, though it was unclear whether they might have become infected in the workplace. Unionized Detroit automakers and non-union German and Asian automakers have been preparing to restart U.S. vehicle making operations by early May. Companies have shifted reopening dates amid uncertainty about government stay-at-home orders. Gamble's statement appeared to derail plans by the Detroit Three to start bringing UAW workers back to vehicle manufacturing jobs on May 4. The longer the automakers cannot produce profitable U.S.-made trucks and sport utility vehicles, the longer they burn cash. The UAW leader's statement was also aimed at Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who has come under pressure from conservative groups and President Donald Trump to ease coronavirus stay-at-home restrictions. "At this point in time, the UAW does not believe the scientific data is conclusive that it is safe to have our members back in the workplace. We have not done enough testing to really understand the threat our members face," Gamble said. "We strongly suggest to our companies in all sectors that an early May date is too soon and too risky to our members, their families and their communities." Gamble said the union was "happy with the auto companiesÂ’ response and cooperation on working through the health and safety protocols we will need in the workplace when it is appropriate to restart." Earlier Thursday, GM began notifying front line managers to come back to work next week to get trained on new safety protocols designed to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus as workers return to plants.
