1967 Ford Failane 2 Door Post Body on 2040-cars
Year:1967
Mileage:167000
Location:
Mountain View, California, United States
|
1967 Ford Fairlane, 2-door post sedan, Style 62 body. This is the body style that was used for the Pro Stock racing of the time since it is the lighter and stiffer body. Of the 235,688 Fairlanes produced in 1967, only 10,628 were this body style--that's fewer than 5% of the production run. How many of these Series 62 style bodies remain 47 years later? I'm guessing fewer than 1000. If you want a clean, straight, and solid body for a Nostalgia Pro Stock build, then this car is a great candidate. This is an original California car, sold through Hughson Ford on Larkin Street in San Francisco. It spent most of its life in San Francisco and was garaged when not driven. In all seriousness this car was owned by a little old lady until the day she died (I am not joking), and when I acquired it the car had just 96,000 original miles on it. How can I be certain it was only 96,000 original miles and not 196,000 or 296,000 or 396,000? Because the car still had old, cracked bias ply tires on it that were made by Goodyear. I contacted Goodyear with the DOT date code and asked when the tires were manufactured and their reply was, "Thank you for contacting us. The date code that you provided from the tires goes beyond our records, which means that they were manufactured prior to 1980." Using this information combined with the service records in the Owner's Manual (ie, the dealership service dates and recorded mileage), it's very easy to correlate that the mileage could not be more than the original 96,000 when I purchased it. I have a free and clear California Certificate of Title and the car has current California registration into 2015. It has the original front and rear black and gold California license plates. Currently the car has 167,000 miles on it. It has the original 6-cylinder, 3-speed manual drive train. I commuted with it daily and it got 22 mpg on the highway. The car is now 47 years old, completely unrestored, and needs full restoration. But the body is solid and the car does run and drive under its own power. That said, it is nevertheless 47 years old, unrestored, in need of restoration, and is being sold as is. I replaced the front coil springs with aftermarket units that lower the front end of the car 2-3 inches. Other than that the car is pretty much stock. I do recall replacing the alternator, fuel pump, starter motor, and exhaust manifold sometime over my ownership. The tires were replaced but are bald, spongy brakes, parking brake doesn't hold, blown muffler, engine uses oil, worn interior upholstry, etc. But hey, all that stuff gets replaced or restored during the restoration anyway. When I parked it 2 years ago, everything worked--the heater, turn signals, head lights, brake lights, dash lights, horn, wipers, etc (I would start the car once in awhile while it sat). Right now the high beams aren't lighting up but they worked when I parked it, so it shouldn't be anything complicated. All the important Fairlane-specific trim is on the car. The side trim is in great shape, the headlight bezels are scratched up. The body is solid and there is no cancerous rust that I can find anywhere, only the slightest superficial surface rust in non-conspicuous places (if at all). It is now up and running as noted, and it just got a brand new windshield (the original one had a crack in it so went ahead and replaced it). This could be built into a great street hot rod; I was going to put a 500-inch BBF stroker in it. Or if you have an old 5.0 Mustang with a 302 roller engine, 5-speed, and 8.8 differential, this would be an outstanding candidate to accept that drive train and make a great street ride or even a Pro Touring car. And as stated earlier it's an excellent candidate for a Nostalgia Pro Stock car build. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. I will answer as many questions as is humanly possible, but please review the Q&A history prior to sending me a specific question. Payment due from the winning bidder within 7 days of auction end. International bidders please note: it is YOUR responsibility to arrange for international shipping, and you must already have an account with a shipper prior to bidding on this car. I can deliver to YOUR shipper in the San Francisco Bay Area for an additional US$185, or in the Los Angeles/Long Beach area (via trailer) for an additonal US$295. Thanks everyone and happy bidding! |

Forza Horizon 3 car list keeps on truckin'
Tue, Aug 9 2016We've covered three weeks of car reveals for Forza Horizon 3, and this time we get a better look at the trucks, SUVs and other off-roaders you'll be able to use to explore Australia. This week's list kicks things off with two of the most legendary off-roaders in the world, the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser and the Meyers Manx. They have different purposes; the FJ40 is for tough trail work and the Manx is for some light-hearted beach fun. But no one could deny the cultural importance of either. And both should be a blast in Horizon 3. In addition to this pair of classics, players will have a chance to get behind the wheel of both a race version of the Ford F-150 Raptor and its closest rival, the Ram Runner. And when traditional vehicles start to get boring, why not take out a full-blown Baja racer such as the Penhall Cholla or the Rockstar energy drink version of the little Polaris RZR XP 1000 side-by-side? Forza Horizon 3 is shaping up to have one of the most diverse car lists in a racing game in a long time. There are still cars left to be revealed, so stay tuned for further installments and see this week's full list below. 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth 2013 Ford Focus ST 1973 Ford Escort RS1600 1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase III 2014 Ford Fiesta ST 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Race Truck 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 1986 Lancia Delta S4 2009 Lexus IS F 1957 Maserati 300 S 1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata 1967 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series 1971 Meyers Manx 2012 Mini John Cooper Works GP 1998 Nissan R390 1979 Opel Kadett C GT/E 2011 Penhall The Cholla 1971 Plymouth Cuda 426 Hemi 2015 Polaris RZR XP 1000 EPS Rockstar Edition 2013 Ram Runner 1993 Renault Clio Williams 1990 Subaru SVX 1979 Toyota FJ40 2005 TVR Sagaris 1990 Vauxhall Lotus Carlton Related Video: News Source: Playground Games / MicrosoftImage Credit: Playground Games / Microsoft Auto News Toys/Games Ford RAM Toyota forza exclusive ford f-150 raptor forza horizon forza horizon 3 toyota fj40 meyers manx
Spy shooter claims proof of upcoming aluminum Ford F-Series Super Duty
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford has already confirmed that the 2015 F-150 (pictured above) was just the beginning for its more extensive use of aluminum. CEO Alan Mulally said it himself during the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. We've even already seen the future Raptor testing with an aluminum body. But a recent discovery from an intrepid spy photographer might indicate that the lightweight metal is coming to the Blue Oval's Super Duty pickups in their upcoming generation, as well.
According to Automotive News, a spy shooter in Colorado spotted a prototype for the next-gen F-350 testing. He happened to have a magnet on hand and got close enough to check the truck out. When he held it up to the metal in the bed, it didn't stick, which signaled to him a switch from steel to aluminum.
Obviously, this claim raises some questions. Given that it was a test vehicle, one possibility is that the Blue Oval is just evaluating the feasibility of switching to aluminum for the Super Duty trucks, not necessarily committed to it yet. Ford has been testing it quite exhaustively, after all. In fact, much of the rest of the truck in question was covered in camouflage, so it's possible that the magnet failed to work along the rest of the body not because it was aluminum, but because it wasn't powerful enough to get through the disguising material. Thus, the lightweight metal's use could be far less substantial than on the new F-150. Still, it was a clever idea for the cameraman to check things out and might have given us the first hint about brand's next heavy-duty models.
Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron
Tue, Jan 3 2017Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.
