Up for auction today is a beautiful original 1967 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door Hardtop. I have owned this car for a couple of years and it’s time to thin out my fleet (have 10 cars right now and I think the wife is going to divorce me soon if I don’t sell a few lol) so this car is going up for sale. It took me years to find this car and I will miss it since I think it’s the best body style ever for the Fairlane.

Like I said I purchased the car a couple years ago out of Texas (I refuse to buy any cars from the north rust belt) and fell in love because it was an original car that has never been tinkered with. I have the original sales receipt for the car, owner’s manual, Ownercard and several receipts for service done over the years.

The car was purchased new from Anderson Ford in Kingsport Tennessee on July 7, 1967 by Mr. Ralph Churchwell. The car cost Mr. Churchwell $3030.30 and included optional 289 V8, Vinyl Trim, Select Shift Automatic Transmission, 735X14 White Sidewall tires, Power Steering, AM Radio and Full Wheel Covers. Mr. Churchwell lived in Tennessee for many years and then moved to Texas (where I purchased the car) so the car has always been a southern car until I purchased it. Since I purchased the car it has always been garaged and I think I have only driven it about 500 miles over the past few years.

The car is in very good condition and although it will not earn you first place at the Concours d’Elegance it will turn heads as you drive down the road and at local cruise nights. I have received countless compliments on this car and many people can’t believe the condition of the underside of the car since these were so prone to rust. This car is an original numbers matching car that has not been butchered like most of these old Fairlanes.

The body is in good shape and this car is laser straight down the sides. I have seen many cars that claim to be straight and look like oceans with all the work they have had done to them. This again is laser straight and from what I was told the car was repainted in the 80’s due to the old paint fading out. Car was painted the same color, Wimbledon White, and today the paint still looks good and has a healthy shine to it. Back after the car was repainted it was hit in the right rear quarter panel and the entire quarter panel was replaced. The rear seam where the quarter meets the rocker panel must not have been treated properly and began to rust causing the bondo to bubble up. The steel is rock solid but the evidence of the damage is there, not horrible but noticeable (see photo included). The area around the rear window also has a couple of small bubbles evident again from I think was a proper prep job and the paint does have some minor checking on the right rear quarter from too much liquor possibly when the paint was mixed. Don’t get me wrong this car is a true survivor and looks great but I want you to realize it does have deficiencies. Both driver and passenger doors have some small rust bubbles at the corners of the doors and the driver side floor has a small amount of rust making it week (I removed the undercoating so you could see it better and again see photos). The rest of this car is absolutely rust free and amazing for being a survivor. Top of the inner fenders (has the stamp marks on the fender aprons and radiator support still) fender aprons, torque boxes, cross members etc. are all in perfect rust free condition.

The interior is in good condition with some wear on the driver seat and the top of the rear seat has started to break down (see photos). The dash is in good shape and the dash pad along with the door panels are in good condition.

The car runs nice, smooth and quiet and does not leak any oil. The transmission works well and if the car sits for a couple of weeks will leave a few drops of fluid on the ground. If the car is cold and has been sitting awhile it will take about three to five seconds to engage in drive and after that she is good to go, if you drive it every couple of days or weekly it does not do this. The A-arm bushings are worn and should be replaced, I purchased new A-arms complete with bushings and ball joints etc. last year but just have not had the time to install them. The last thing I can think of is the shifter linkage is a bit loose for some reason and it makes the shifter sloppy. I just use the emergency brake when I park the car to be on the safe side in case it was to disengage from park. I have never had the car change gears or anything like that while driving but you should know that it does have some play in it.

The car had an aftermarket A/C system in it and I will include it with the sale of the car. It has the compressor, underdash unit etc. and looks complete but I never installed it. Like I said if you win the auction I will place it in the trunk for you along with the new A-arms and whatever other parts I may have collected over the years for it.

Well I really can’t think of anything else to mention about the car but I am sure I forgot something so feel free to email me your questions and I will respond as quick as I can. Remember that this car is almost 47 years old and not a new car, the car will be sold in AS-IS condition with no warranty either expressed or implied. I encourage anyone to come out and view the car and if you wish to have someone look it over on your behalf I am more than happy to accommodate.

This car was previously sold to a bidder in Australia who backed out of the deal due to sudden medical problems with his son. Just a FYI in case you were wondering.......

A 1985 Ford Escort for $915,000? If it was owned by Princess Diana

Sun, Sep 3 2023

What makes a used car worth more than the car itself? If it was owned by John Lennon. Or Muhammad Ali. Michael Schumacher, perhaps, or Stirling Moss. This year’s edition from the Hagerty organization of its Â“Power ListÂ” makes for amusing reading even if youÂ’re not on it. But you can make believe that you are. Essentially, the list, which was launched only last year, tracks the impact of celebrity ownership of a vehicle on its value, as measured by its worth at auction. Nearly 400 sales of celebrity cars and bikes have been analyzed from around the world by Hagerty using market data and Â“expertÂ” analytics. Hagerty is aware, certainly, that famous folks Â— from royalty, sports, movies and music Â— grab gobs of attention from ordinary people. ThatÂ’s why the 2023 Power List comprises these categories: Art Cars, Racing Drivers, Movies and TV, Musicians, Royalty, Screen Stars, Sporting Icons. But you don't have to be a rock star or a F1 pilot to get listed: Princess Diana, besides an Escort Turbo RS that she owned between 1985 and 1988, numbered a convertible 1994 Audi 80 Cabriolet and a Jaguar XJS Cabriolet among her rides. HereÂ’s a look at some of the more notable entries: Racing driver category: In pole position was an unlikely titleholder, a 1976 Ford Bronco. This was the car bought new by legendary Canadian Formula 1 driver Gilles Villeneuve and untouched since his death; it sold at the Aguttes auction in Paris last December for $148,000, a huge 210% increase over the $47,800 that Hagerty would value a regular example in the same condition. Just a note: The list doesnÂ’t include race cars, only vehicles kept privately by the drivers. Musicians:Â A 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow had been Freddie MercuryÂ’s personal chauffeur-driven transport from 1979 until his death in 1991. Without celebrity ownership, Hagerty would value the Silver Shadow at a lowly $9,500, a car that would take a lot of time, effort and money to restore properly. But add in MercuryÂ’s aura and bids ended at $362,500. Â“ItÂ’s no surprise that MercuryÂ’s car dominated our Musicians list on the 2023 Hagerty Power List,Â” the company said. Movies and TV: For those readers now emerging from hibernation since 1968, the news is that the historic Highland Green Mustang from Â“BullittÂ” remains at the top of the Power List for the second year running.

Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.

Ford shares falling on news of lower-than-expected profits next year

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

Ford has released projections for its 2013 profits, along with predictions of its 2014 earnings, and the news has forced the company's stock to stumble, falling over seven percent as of this writing. The Blue Oval is expecting earnings of $8.34 billion for 2013, although the bulk of that is coming largely from its North American operations, as troubles abroad continue to take a toll.
Calling 2013 an "outstanding" year, Ford expects its revenue to be up about 10 percent, thanks to gains in market share everywhere but Europe. But it's 2014 predictions that are causing stock prices to fall, as the Dearborn-based manufacturer expects pre-tax profits to fall to $7 to $8 billion, because of troubles in both Europe and South America, according to a report from Reuters. This is despite an expansion plan that will see it open an additional factory in the southern hemisphere, as well as two plants in China, all in a bid to launch 23 new or refreshed products next year.
The issues in South America aren't so much related to a fall in sales - Ford expects improved profits in Brazil and Argentina - but because of currency devaluations in Venezuela that are projected to cost it around $350 million. While that would still allow it to break even with 2013, Ford cites continued economic risks that could push losses even higher.
