1969 Ford Fairlane wagon in the Torino Squire trim level. Originally from North Carolina, and is super solid. Plenty of patina and I purposely left it that way after I purchased it a couple years back. Always gets a crowd at the cruise nights, along with lots of questions. Has it's original 351 Windsor, and FMX trans still intact and runs well. I replaced all the hoses, distributor, starter, alternator, regulator, radiator, water and fuel pumps among other items and added a performer intake and Holley 600 carb with electric choke. Runs strong. A/C has been updated to a modern Sanden compressor and blows ice cold. Trans is super strong and has had a full fluid and filter change. Fuel tank was removed, cleaned and coated, and a new sender installed. Most of the suspension is new including all the springs, and features a 3" drop. No coils were cut to make the drop. The steering slave cylinder is new, and upper ball joints have been replaced too. Has had an alignment too. Wheels are American racing 17x8 in front, 17x9 in the rear. tires are BFG Sport Comps, 255/40 in front, and 275/40's in the rear. less than 1000 miles on them. The car still wears it's original Fomoco brake drums, and brakes at all 4 corners are new. Front has drum brakes, new wheel seals and the bearings have been repacked. Exhaust is 2-1/2" with H-pipe, and real Flowmasters, not the Chinese knock-offs, sounds awesome. Rear end is a 9". The floors in this car are unbelievably solid(see pics), surface rust only, and there is not rot out any where. I did find a couple minor pinholes in the bottom of the rear storage area, heavy primer would cover those, but once again, I have left the body condition alone on purpose. There is a rust hole started in the bottom of the left fender( car comes with an extra perfect fender ), and the underside front edge of the hood has some issue starting, but not bad. The bottom of all the doors are very solid, with surface rust, with the exception of the left front door bottom corner which I took a pic of- very minor, but it's there. Tailgate is in real good condition, only some surface rust, and the power back window works fine. Carpet is new and the seat bottom has been re-done. the rest of the interior is in fair to good condition, the headliner will need replaced as a next to-do item, in my opinion. I have a new set of kick panels that are not installed yet. Being an old car, some things to know; The left door sticks sometimes, just give it a good pull and she'll open. The shifter is kinda loose, NPD carries the replacement column collar, I just hadn't got to it yet. The key switch in the gate for the window sometimes does not work, but the one in the dash does. There is spare replacement switch that come with the car. Needs window felts and dew wipe seals, I have the dew wipes to give the new owner. Carb may need a bit of fine tuning yet, it's real close, but if you let it idle a long time ( eg; 3-5 minutes), you will see some fuel smoke appear. When you take off, clears right out quickly. I would suggest running slightly shorter front shocks, if you hit a real big dip, you can fell them bottom very slightly, not bad though. Oil pan; needs an upsized drain plug, I used a t-bolt drain plug and it has worked fine, I have a perfect pan I will let the new owner have if they want. never been much of an issue for me, sure made oil changes easy. I also have amassed quite a collection of hard to find parts that will go with this; All side and rear tailgate glass, and related hardware, including spare electric motor for rear glass. Super nice left front fender with the correct molding holes for the trim. Complete set of door hinges NOS tail light lenses, and chrome bezels. Spare set of switches for the back window New kick panels Extra oil pan. Set of Magnum 500 wheels in Fair condition with tire on them. Questions are welcome, additional pics are available, I have attempted to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible, it is sold as-is with no warranties expressed or implied. Bidders with less than 5 feedback please contact me before bidding. Thank-you

Road & Track samples rare 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R
Sat, Jun 6 2015The modern performance variant of the Ford Mustang enjoys a long, illustrious history. While well-known examples like the Boss 302, Shelby GT350, and Shelby GT500 get all the attention, the modern versions of these cars may not have been possible had it not been for the three generations of the Cobra R, sold in 1993, 1995, and 2000. Limited to just 250 examples, the second-generation model wasn't as rare as the Fox-body Cobra R that preceded it, but they were still pricey and difficult to acquire. Customers were required to hold a competition license in order to take delivery, and prices were roughly equivalent to $59,000 in today's money. As Road & Track tells it, neither of those facts were a handicap – Ford sold its entire roster of 1995 Cobra Rs in just five days. RT's Jack Baruth managed to score a drive in an extremely low-mileage example of this now-vintage track star. He delivers an interesting look into the way a performance car from two decades ago behaves in today's world, and finds that despite its age, the 1995 Cobra R is still "a true sweetheart." Check out the full feature over at Road & Track. Related Video:
2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well
Mon, 23 Sep 2013New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.
Bonhams to auction Carroll Shelby's prototypes and personal cars
Fri, Apr 6 2018Fans of Carroll Shelby will want to make their way to Greenwich, Conn., this June, because Bonhams will be selling a great many cars from the man's personal collection. And many of them are the first of their kind, marking important milestones in Shelby's career. One of those important cars is a 1982 Dodge Charger prototype, which might not look as impressive as a Cobra, but it was important in that it was the first car on which Shelby collaborated with Chrysler. That car led to the first Shelby Charger, as well as other special small Chryslers including the GLH Omnis and Chargers (GLH standing for "Goes Like Hell"). In fact, the first Charger GLH-S (Goes Like Hell S'more) is also part of this collection. There are even some prototypes up for auction that never resulted in a production car, such as a Shelby modified Dodge Ram. That one is probably our favorite: the gold ram hood ornament, the huge pentastar in the grille, the double-barrel truck horn on the roof. It's wonderful nonsense. Of course it isn't just Chryslers going up for sale. There are a couple of GT500 and GT350 Mustangs in the mix from a variety of years. Perhaps most interesting is the very first Shelby Series I, Shelby's ill-fated roadster designed from the ground-up by the Texan's company. Unlike the other early Series I models, Shelby's had a supercharger, which led to a supercharger option being offered later. You can check out the full list of cars below, and pictures of each one in the gallery at the top. The auction will happen on June 3, and every vehicle offered has no reserve, so they'll all be sold for whatever price is shown at the drop of the gavel. 1927 Ford Model T 1931 Ford Model A 1935 Chrysler Airflow Sedan 1955 DeSoto Hard Top 1966 Shelby GT350 Convertible 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible 1968 Shelby GT350 1969 Shelby GT 500 previously owned by Jackie Cooper Jr. 1969 Shelby GT 500 1982 Shelby Charger Prototype 1983 De Tomaso Pantera 1983 Dodge/Shelby Pickup Concept 1987 DeTomaso GT5-S 1987 Dodge CSX Serial #1 1987 Shelby Charger GLH-S Serial #1 1987 Dodge Shelby Lancer Serial #1 1988 Dodge Shelby Dakota Prototype 1989 Dodge CSX VNT Serial #1 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 Continuation 1999 Shelby Series 1 Serial #1 2008 Shelby GT 500 KR 2011 Shelby GT 500 Super Snake Aurora Race Car Related Video: Featured Gallery Shelby Collection View 72 Photos Image Credit: Bonhams Chrysler Dodge Ford Auctions Performance Classics shelby
