1957 Ford Retractable, Skyliner Fairlane 500, let me start out by saying that I bought this from the second owner a gentleman in north Alabama that bought the car in 1980, in 1979 the car was redone or restored, he drove the car for a few years and enjoyed it and then parked the car in a heated and cooled garage, and it stayed parked till about 6 months ago, he and his son uncovered the car and was planning on restoring the car till they done some homework and seen just what it would cost for a paint job and to get the car to show quality and then I bought the car. This is a factory 312 automatic blue and white skyliner convertible. The motor and transmission was told to me by the second owner to be original to the car, but their is no 100 percent way of telling with a 312 motor. The car is a factory p/s car, but no p/b. The car does come with a Continental Kit and Cruiser Skirts, but I am missing two pieces of the continental kit, the holder for the tire, and the flat pieces that actually covers the rim and tire, I have everything else, and the cruiser skirts are complete. As you can see in the pictures the car is missing a few pieces of trim, the father and son started to pull those pieces off to get the car ready of paint, and I am supposed to get those along with the missing continental pieces from them but they have yet to dig them out of their garage so I don't want to make any promises about those pieces but If I get them they will certainly go with the car to the next owner. However their are some trim pieces in the trunk of the car already, and it only appears to be missing the door handles and couple other trim pieces. The car other then that is complete, and all trim and bumpers that are still on the car appear to be in fantastic shape. The car will crank up and run and move under its own power, and their seems to be no issues with the drive train. The interior of the car is certainly useable, the seats and door panels appear to be in fantastic shape, however they did pull the carpet out and was going to replace it, so I do not have the carpet for the car. The body is straight and certainly wouldn't take much to get it ready for paint, their appears to be no rust issues with the car, if their is rust it is very very small or minimal, their is however one small crack in the passenger rear quarter panel right in the lip of the wheel well, and it appears to be a small stress crack from years of running the car with the cruiser skirts, other then that the car is just showing its age as far as paint issues, small rock and door edge chips, and some lacquer checking in a few places. Over all this is a great car, and certainly would make for a easy restoration project, and wouldn't take much to get to that show quality. I will say that one of the top motors just went out on me the other day, so the top was working, but will need one top motor rebuilt for sure. I do have the other wire wheel setup, its in the trunk of the car and makes for a full set, and I also have what appears to be a full gasket kit new for the car, the past owner went ahead and bought it for the car when he was planning on having the car painted. The car is for sale locally and is subject to be taken off Ebay if sold. The car is also sold as is with no warranty. A 25% deposit is due within 3 days of the auctions end and the balance within 7 more when the car is to be picked up or arrangements are made for the car to be shipped. If you have any questions about the car please fill free to ask and I will gladly answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks and God Bless Kody 251-454-5455 |

My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry
Wed, Dec 1 2021The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer. The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).
1964 Ford GT40 prototype sells for $7M
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Seven-figure Ferraris are not horribly rare. Heck, an eight-figure Ferrari isn't a rare occurrence. Between modern masterpieces like the Enzo and more classic offerings, cracking the million-dollar mark isn't a particularly tall order for the cars from Maranello. For a Ford, though, it's a big deal.
Now, this is not just some rare Mustang. This is a GT40, the car that Henry Ford II commissioned to whip Enzo Ferrari around a track in France. As far as the Le Mans-winning racers go, they don't get much rarer than this one. Sold at the Mecum Auctions in Houston, this is one of the prototypes, meaning it's one of the very first GT40s ever built. That makes its $7 million winning a bid, a record for on-air coverage of the auction, a pretty darn impressive figure.
You can watch the auction below, but first, take a look back at our original story on this rare Blue Oval.
Last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible nets $500k for charity at Barrett-Jackson [w/video]
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible was sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Reno, Nevada, for $500,000. Ford donated the Mustang to be auctioned for charity, and all of the money is going to the Brain Injury Association of America.
Parnelli Jones, winner of the 1963 Indianapolis 500, was there on behalf of the BIAA with his son Page, who suffered a brain injury in a sprint car crash in 1994. The bidding increased quickly, reaching $500k in no time, spreading a bit more hope to people who live with brain injuries.
The winning bidder will be able to choose the GT500's exterior, interior and stripe colors, and is scheduled to receive the car, signed by Parnelli Jones in appreciation for the donation, by the end of 2013. Watch the video below to see the auction-block action.
