One very complete and intact 1962 Ford Fairlane 500 Barn Find. Original V8 car (engine does run), 3 speed transmission and just 2 doors. VIN 2R41L130185 confirms the 221 V8, built in San Jose, Corinthian White exterior and 500 trim. The car was rescued from storage (last registered in 1973), cleaned, engine fired and evaluated. 84,000 miles on the odometer. The small 221 V8 was only available in '62 and '63 adding to the unique originality of this find. Here is what I can tell you about the car.
The Good:
Very complete car, 2 door, engine runs good and does not smoke, 8" drop out style rear, all glass is excellent, title in hand, structurally solid (wheel wells, engine compartment, unibody rails, shock towers), rockers and door jambs in good shape, rolls freely, doors shut nicely, practically new tires, new ignition tumbler/key, new water pump, new fuel pump, seats are solid but need new covers, parking brake operational, transmission works without noise, car will drive and shift. Generator converted to a delco internally regulated alternator. Hear it run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ7BHUa5elg

 (the rope has been replaced with a real V-belt)


The bad:
Floors & trunk have some soft spots, drivers lower quarter needs replacement, drivers door dented, passenger quarter has some damage/dented, needs master cylinder/brakes not working, door key missing, interior needs overhaul, trunk latch missing.
This is a great candidate for full restoration or with a few components could be driven. This car hasn't seen the road for 40 years so it would need a good looking over however its a great start. Additional pictures available upon request.  Will need to be towed, selling as is.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014



The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
