Offered for sale is a fine example of the 1966 Ford Fairlane 500. A growingly popular mid size muscle car among the Ford contingent, the sleek swept lines of the Fairlane have been sought after for many years and the added benefit of more passenger space, a larger trunk and better handling than the Pony car Mustang brethren make it a smart choice for today's buyer.

This particular example has been well restored, cared for and presents itself extremely well. Upgraded Power Front disc brakes, Power Steering, a mildly performance built 289cu in V8 with 4 bbl carburetor, performance camshaft, block hugger headers and a Flowmaster equipped dual exhaust REALLY wake this car up and give it the performance to match it's good looks. Very glossy Wimbledon White paint and complimenting Night Mist Blue stripes are sealed in a Base Coat/Clear Coat modern paint that will stay glossy looking and low maintenance for years to come. Riding on 15" Retro American Racing Torque Thrust wheels with the polished outer rim and Nexen 205/55R/15 performance radials make this car a dream to drive on either the straight stretches or the curvy backroads. The completely rebuilt front suspension, coupled with boxed subframe connectors tie the car together for just such an instance.

The sheetmetal appears to be all original and is rust free. The paint has been professionally applied. Interior has been upgraded in material and features a nice stripe matching medium blue cloth throughout and 5 seatbelt locations provide the needed safety factor to bring friends and family along for the ride.

Underneath of the car is solid, original but well detailed and the factory torque boxes are in factory condition.

The professionally built C4 automatic transmission features 3 speeds and shifts crisply and cleanly every time.

As a matter of condition, this car still retains its original Owners Manual and Original Ownership information and was sold new in Republic, MO on 4/28/1966. Seems to not have traveled far outside its home in over 40 years. (See pics for details)

As mentioned, the Ford Fairlane is growing in popularity as all of the Mustangs get sucked up and the prices go through the roof. This is a lot of car....for not a lot of money....you should buy it!

Ford auctioning off F-35-themed 2015 Mustang for charity

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Ford's been a supporter of EAA AirVenture, a huge, annual air show held in Oshkosh, WI, for several years now, with one of its most notable contributions being a modified Ford Mustang, designed to look like one of America's great fighting aircraft. There was an SR-71 Mustang, based on the legendary spy plane, a Red Tails edition, which honored the ground-breaking Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, as well as Blue Angels and Thunderbird Mustangs, based on America's two great military aerial demonstration teams.
Each car is auctioned off, with all proceeds going to the EAA Young Eagles program, which introduces kids to the joy of flight. For the 2014 AirVenture, which runs from July 28 to August 3, the one-off pony car is based on the new-for-2015 Mustang, and America's latest fighting aircraft - the controversial F-35 Lightning II.
The unique Mustang sports titanium paint scheme, with both glossy and matte sections, as well as yellow-and-blue trim and decal elements inspired by CF-1, the first F-35 test plane. A carbon-fiber front splitter and rear diffuser add some visual eye candy, while the interior boasts a set of Recaro seats. Ford also opted to fit unique wheels and a brawnier rear spoiler, to tie everything together.

Next Shelby Mustang to wear GT350 nameplate

Fri, 21 Jun 2013

Earlier this month, rumors started to swirl 'round the web about the next-generation Ford SVT Mustang - the halo version of the all-new 2015 'Stang seen testing in the gallery above. Originally, we heard that the Shelby GT500 moniker would be dumped in favor of "a name you're familiar with," which some sources guessed could mean a return of the Cobra nameplate.
That might not be correct. According to Road & Track, citing a report from Mustangs Daily, the new range-topping Mustang will bring back the Shelby GT350 name - currently used on an aftermarket version of Ford's Pony produced by Shelby American (take a look at our recent Quick Spin of that car). Expect the new GT350 to be quite a bit different than the current GT500 - it will be all motor, using a V8 that's derived from the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote engine (though it will no doubt have a higher displacement). The GT350 will be a lot more powerful than the next Mustang GT, which is expected to offer something like 450 horsepower, but won't be quite as absurd as the 662-horsepower GT500 we currently enjoy.
The Shelby GT350 will reportedly bow with the rest of the new Mustang range at the 2014 New York Auto Show, which coincides exactly with the original Mustang's debut at the New York World's Fair in 1964. If that seems far out, don't worry, we'll be seeing the rest of the 2015 Mustang range before then, but Road & Track reports that the 2014 Detroit Auto Show stage will be reserved for the reveal of the next Ford F-150 pickup.

2015 F-150 launch to curb Ford profits?

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Ford is making a big bet on aluminum with its new 2015 F-150, and it's possible that the decision will hurt the company financially, at least in the short term. After earning a record $8.6 billion in 2013, the Blue Oval does not expect to set another record in 2014. According to Automotive News, that's "largely attributable to F Series," says Bob Shanks, Ford's Chief Financial Officer.
To retool for the new F-150, Ford will idle its Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan for 11 weeks and the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri for 2 weeks. "3 of the 13 overall weeks occur during what normally is our summer shutdown timeframe," said Mike Levine, Ford Trucks Communication Manager, in an email to Autoblog. The extra 10 weeks will be preparing for the more aluminum-intensive construction for the trucks and will mean over 2 months of no F-150s being made. For comparison's sake, Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne just confirmed that the 200 plant in Sterling Heights, MI will be down for 30 days to retool for the new model, but obviously there are many more F-150 production variables than for the midsize sedan.
Levine notes that Ford is already running three shifts at both plants, and says the automaker has plans to ensure that there is adequate supply of the full-size pickups during the retooling process. The company does not want to suffer a shortage of the vehicle that accounted for 31-percent of its 2013 US sales and an even bigger percentage of its profits.
