1968 Ford Fairlane 500 Formal Hardtop 2 Door Classic! In Great Original Cond. on 2040-cars
Midland, Georgia, United States
|
I have a rare and hard to find 1968 Ford Fairlane 500 Formal Hardtop for sale. This rare 68 beauty is all original and unmolested (other than a re-paint) It only has 101k miles and RUNS, DRIVES and HANDLES absolutely amazing! The original 302 runs extremely strong. No smoke, no leaks, and appears to have been built at some point. It has dual exhaust and sounds awesome! It has been well maintained mechanically as you'll see when you drive it. It has new tires. Brakes have been re-done and stop the car very well. It does not have power brakes or power steering but the brakes work so well you wouldn't know they aren't power. THIS IS an original A/C car and all the components are there. The fan will blow but the compressor does not come on. I can't stress enough how great this car runs and drives! This car is VERY ROAD WORTHY and needs nothing mechanically! Drive it anywhere! I would consider this car a "sleeper". Put on some nice looking vintage style sporty wheels and tires and that would top it off! In fact, I took the Magnum 500 Wheels and tires off my 66 Mustang Fastback and put on the Fairlane. I took some pictures to show what it would like like. See the pics! I will sell the Magnum 500 Wheels with Cooper Cobra Tires in GREAT condition separately for an additional $700 THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SALE. The interior is in really nice condition and all original except the headliner...It's new. The carpet is original and only faded slightly in the sun exposed areas. The seat upholstery looks very nice for its age but does have a couple of tears in the driver seat area. One small tear in the center of driver area and then a larger tear in a "not so visible" area in the corner. The dash looks nice as well. All the components in the dash work. The only thing missing is the original radio. It has an aftermarket radio installed and mounted under the dash so no holes were cut. Door panels look good but do have some fading The trunk area is all original and in good condition. No rot or rust anywhere in the trunk. Still has the original spare tire mounted in its place with the jack. It appears the fuel tank has been replaced at some point. The exterior of the car has been repainted at some point in the past. Although the pictures make the car look very nice (and it really does!) there are few areas where the paint has chipped and one area where the newer paint has flaked off. There is VERY MINIMAL rust in this car. What rust is there is only surface and would certainly not require any metal replacement by any means. THIS IS A SOLID CAR! Floor pans are solid! The car appears to have had some minor body work near the tail lights and it does look like the bondo has began to crack. Very minor but it you were going to ever re-paint the car I would recommend fixing that at the same time. The body molding around the car have a few dings here and there but still look ok. The car itself is very straight and no dings to speak of. This is a great driver quality car! Keep and enjoy it as is or would be an easy and affordable restoration. The car is originally from Texas. In fact I have the original Texas TITLE from 1968. This title is not transferable. The car will be sold with a Bill of Sale only. Please call or text 706-325-4360 if you have questions. |

Tue, May 12 2015Ford is recalling 12,300 of its new 2015 F-150 pickup trucks in North America.

Wed, 05 Nov 2014Meet the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept, a fully functional drift car that, according to our team in Sin City, has been doling out demo drifts in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Destined to be the flagship of RTR's Tactical Performance Line, the Spec 5 Concept is, in addition to its 5.0-liter Aluminator V8 engine, chock full of performance parts that you can buy for your very own 2015 Mustang. In addition to the Ford Racing engine, the OEM parts supplier has lent the Spec 5 an aluminum radiator and a close-ratio six-speed transmission.
ASD Motorsports provided the front lower control arms, while the car itself rides on a fully customized coilover suspension. Magnaflow and American Racing have provided the exhaust system and headers, respectively. 20-inch HRE wheels, designed for RTR, are wrapped in sticky Nitto rubber.
Ford sets world record for biggest Hot Wheels track loop
Fri, Apr 24 2015Take Your Child to Work Day looks like a pretty amazing experience for a child if their parent works at Ford. For the recent event, workers at the Blue Oval set up the world's largest Hot Wheels track loop in the atrium of the company's Research and Innovation Center in Dearborn, MI, and launched toy cars from over three stories. The idea came from Ford dynamometer technician Matt West who had been building progressively larger loops with his son. This one was the biggest ever, though, with a ramp 35.5-feet high and a 12.5-foot loop to crush the previous record of nine feet, nine inches tall. Fittingly, the track was inaugurated with a Ford Mustang Hot Wheels car taking the first run. To support such a massive size, the Hot Wheels track fits into a plywood structure that's bolted together. Beyond just being fun and looking incredibly cool, the stunt was meant to teach kids about mathematics and engineering. Ford Sets World Record for Biggest Hot Wheels Car Track Loop in Support of Take Your Child to Work Day • To help children cultivate an interest in science and engineering, Ford attempted to set a new world record for building the largest Hot Wheels® car track loop as part of this year's Take Your Child to Work Day • Ford Mustang Hot Wheels car started at more than three stories high inside Ford Research and Innovation Center • Old record loop stood at nine feet, nine inches tall DEARBORN, Mich., April 23, 2015 – Ford ran circles around the old Hot Wheels® record loop as part of this year's Take Your Child to Work Day. When the effort was complete, Ford had made a world record attempt with a Hot Wheels car track loop that exceeded 12 feet tall. The world record attempt was the brainchild of Ford dynamometer technician Matt West, who had built increasingly large Hot Wheels loops with his six-year-old son Blade at their home in Monroe, Michigan. The attempt took place in the three-story atrium of the company's Research and Innovation Center in Dearborn in support of Ford's participation in national Take Your Child to Work Day. "It started as part-fun, part-physics lesson with my son at home," said West. "We built one in our playroom, and then built a five-foot- tall loop in our backyard.
