I am just the seller,and the owners Son-in-Law of this Very Cool 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 2 Door Hardtop,with only 95,493 original miles.My Mother-in-Law inherited it from her Husband,and her Husband inherited it from his Mother,the Original Owner,which he was her only son.Which he licensed in 2008 and only drove it a few times and had 4 new radials put on it,and not long after he got sick,and put it back inside where it stayed until now!Which the original owner purchased it Brand New in her 50's after her husband passed away,and she only drove it to work for a while and to Church and the store,and it was always garaged.And it was bought in Denver,Colorado and I was told it never left Denver until she moved to Trinidad,Colorado to live with her son due to her age and health,and it was driven there by her son.But recently the Son of the original owner passed and now my Mother-in-Law and I are offering this Great Car for auction through eBay!And I was told the original owner drove it until the late 1980's,until she was in her 70's,and at that point the plastic covers were still on the seats,which the son removed.I call this a One Owner,because the Son who inherited it drove it a few times and put it back inside,like it had always been stored.And not too long after that,he passed,and now his Wife inherited it,my Mother-in-Law,so the last name on the title hasn't changed since 1966,and no one really driven it since the original owner.I listed this 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 2 Door Hardtop in April of 2013,and I took pictures of it dirty and dusty in a dark building where it was stored,and the bidders didn't really get to see how good it really was.And I also stated that it probably just needed a battery and it surely would start and drive.Since then I went back to Trinidad,CO,and installed a battery,and put fresh gas in it,and tried to start it and gas ran out of the accelerator pump on the carb.So I professionally rebuilt the Autolite 2 barrel carb,and it runs very smooth and quiet and it doesn't smoke,and it runs and drives very good.Which I didn't even put points and plugs in it,it's running that good,sounds amazing no engine noises at all,and I drove it about a mile to test it,and all I can say it's Super Nice!And now we've moved my Mother-in-Law here to Nebraska,and I towed the Car here on a trailer also.So I went through it and seriously cleaned it,vacuumed all the dirt off the floors,cleaned and treated all the Seats,Door Panels,Dash,,Back Deck,and even the trunk,which still has the original Firestone Bias spare tire,which I put all back together on it original mount,just like the decal inside of the the trunk lid shows.If you looked at the last listing of the Car back in April,it looks like a different Car now,and if I didn't have so many cars of my own,I would be after this one!This 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 came with the 289 Cubic Inch V-8,Automatic Transmission,Power Steering,and AM Radio,and it is all original,and when I went through the paper work,I saw the Husband changed the fuel pump in 2006,and now I've rebuilt the carb,and that's all that has been done,and the brakes feel and sound good.And all the glass is very good also,no cracks and very clean also.There is no rips or tears in the Seats,front and rear,but there is one tiny hole about the size of a pencil on the top outside corner of the drivers seat(shown in picture)and and one tiny small crack in the dash,next to the dash speaker,coming off one corner(shown in picture also)but surely both of them 2 flaws could be repaired,small problems!Even the original carpets look amazing look amazing,the only wear spots I can find is where it folds over the threshold to the floor from light normal use,but nothing really noticeable.And no rips or tears in the Headliner or Sun Visors,remarkable condition!And it only has minor rust around the rear wheel openings mostly small area at bottom rear wheel openings,and it has all solid floors inside the Car and even in the trunk,and it is missing one rear wheel opening molding,and a little paint loss and light surface rust on the bottom side of the hood,but minor stuff.And only has a few scrapes and scratches and a few minor dings,and the worst one is on the drivers side rear quarter by the taillight,and it isn't to bad,all shown in pictures.Very strait Car,if I didn't own so many now I would have never listed it,I would have bought it myself!And it does have a good dent in the rear bumper(Grandma Dent!)And all the Hubcaps look good but one,and I just happened to have a nice one in my stuff,which is in a box in the trunk,It is in a White Paint with a Reddish Maroon interior.I didn't look for the VIN on the motor,because I know it has all its original drive train!This is a totally untouched 1966 Ford Failane 500 2 Door Hardtop,that has never had the motor rebuilt,never been repainted or repaired or restored,stone stock original.Don't miss this one,you don't find Cars like this never,at least to my knowledge.And I am a Serious Enthusiast/Car Guy of over 35 years of building Muscle and Classic Cars!And this is a Real Beauty,never tampered with,Great One to Restore,or just do the body work paint and drive,the interior is that nice!There will be a $750.00 deposit due within 48 hours of the end of Auction through Paypal,and the remaining balance in Cash to the owner upon pickup of the Car,in North Platte,Nebraska,at my residence.After auction winning bidder will get my phone number,to make arrangements to pick the Car up,I would advise a trailer,because it hasn't had any highway miles for several years.If there is any taxes due after the sale of the Car,should be the responsibility of the buyer,I am not responsible for any sales tax,I'm just the seller!If this description seems long,it is because I was trying to give bidders all the history I received from the family,and I tried to explain everything to the best of my knowledge.Sorry I don't have a lift to get any pictures from underneath the Car,but it has all solid floors and in the trunk,and I looks under the mat.!But don't miss your chance at this one,untouched by any amateur restorer!The remaining balance of the sale must be made within 7 days after the auction in person,or can make arrangements to pick it up even sooner after the sale!But the Car has to be sold "AS IS" with no warranty,But don't let that detract you,this is the nicest original not restored 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 on eBay!And it is outside for the duration of the sale,so local bidders will have a chance to see it,but it is safe.And If you would like more pictures give me an email address or somewhere to send more,because I took more than 3 times the amount I can use on an eBay listing.

Weekly Recap: An '80s encore in the auto world
Sat, Jul 11 2015The '80s returned in a big way this week, as National Lampoon's, Ghostbusters, Miami Vice, and even Tetris were back in the news. While there were far more serious topics (see below), nostalgia mingled with modern marketing to put these Reagan-era favorites back in the spotlight. The '80s were alternately cold and corny at times, but their cultural touchstones can still generate big money. That's why Infiniti recreated an iconic scene from National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) for an advertisement that hawks the QX60 crossover. Actor Ethan Embry, who played Rusty Griswold in a later Lampoon's movie, pilots the Infiniti – which is serving as a modern Family Truckster – for a trip to Walley World. A blonde pulls alongside in a red Lamborghini. They flirt, and she drives on. Christie Brinkley, who played the original girl in the red sports car (she drove a Ferrari in the '83 flick), is riding shotgun and chides Embry with: "A blonde. In a convertible. Seriously?" Okay, it's hardly on the level of "here's looking at you," or even "you can't handle the truth," but it should resonate with '80s babies, many of whom are now having children of their own and moving into three-row SUVs like the QX60. Naturally, Hollywood is going back to the well, too, with a Vacation remake that premiers July 29. Meanwhile, Ghostbusters is returning next year, and director Paul Feig offered a peak at the new Eco-1 in this tweet. In the 1984 classic, the team drove a modified 1959 Cadillac. Now, it will drive a late '80s Cadillac. As expected, the announcement generated support and controversy from movie and car enthusiasts. His tweet had generated several thousand retweets and favorites in the days following the news. Though the '80s Caddy looks, uh, less elegant in comparison to the now-iconic fins and curves of the original Ecto-1, it's about the same time lapse into the past as the '59 Caddy was to viewers in 1984. Speaking of 1984, Miami Vice, which debuted that year on NBC, is seeing one of its hero cars hit the auction block, Mecum Auctions announced this week. The 1986 Ferrari used on the show will be offered for sale Aug. 15 during Monterey classic car week. The white supercar runs a 390-hp flat 12-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission and was in storage after the show ended in 1989 until earlier this year. It has 16,124 miles on the odometer and is authenticated by Ferrari North America and Classiche.
MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty
Wed, 28 Nov 2012There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.
Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study
Wed, Jul 22 2015The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car. Check out the official release on the 2015 APEAL Study, available below, from JD Power. 2015 U.S. APEAL Study Results The latest safety-related technologies are among the drivers of customer satisfaction with new vehicles, according to the J.D.
