This is a 1968 Pro-Touring Ford Fairlane 500 2dr hardtop. The car has been lowered 3" in the front and 2" in the rear. Has a fresh rebuild on the 5.0L 302cid -V8, new brakes including drums, brake cylinders, metal and rubber lines, brake shoes, master cylinder, etc. Car has new radiator and battery, 4 new shocks and the fuel tank was replaced several years ago. It’s got new Flow Master dual exhaust, the interior has been completely refurbished including both front and rear seats, floor carpet, deck panel, headliner, dash pad, steering wheel, etc.

The Fairlane 500 starts with just a tap of the key and sounds great as well as runs and drives nice. Paint is about 5 years old and still looks great although it’s not perfect and the body is very solid with no signs of rust. All the lights work including hi/low beams, marker lights tail and brake lights, even license plate light, but no radio and no wipers. The 4-way flashers work fine but the turn signal switch needs the "cam" replaced (I have a new one that will go with the car). Also, the car will need some new weather stripping at some point.

The car is sitting on a new set of staggered wheels that are 18" on the front and 20" on the rear and all tires have about 80% tread remaining. The Fairlane 500 is a nice clean solid driver that turns a lot of heads and gets thumbs up everywhere it’s driven. It is a true classic muscle car! Please look at all the photos provided as the pictures are worth a thousand words, what you see is what you are buying! Also, please ask any questions that you have BEFORE the auction has ended as this is a classic car with no warranties and is being sold “as is” and “where is”. Clean and clear title in hand but please note, the car is being listed locally as well so I will end auction early if has been sold.

I am happy to assist winning bidder with making shipping arrangements and I can store the car for a week or two as long as it’s been paid for. I require a $500.00 deposit through PayPal within 24 hours from auctions end and the balance to be paid in no more than 7 days from auction end in cash, or direct wire transfer only. Please contact me BEFORE you bid if you have a feedback score of five (5) or less. Thanks for looking and good luck if you choose to bid.

Ford readying dozen+ Mustang models for SEMA

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Ford is unsurprisingly bringing a herd of its new 2015 Mustang models to next month's SEMA show in Las Vegas. Over a dozen of them are arriving from top aftermarket outfits like Galpin Auto Sports, Steeda, Roush and others. The Blue Oval isn't just shining a spotlight on the V8 model, though. The new EcoBoost 2.3-liter version with 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque is also getting its time in the sun.
Among the shined-up ponies will be a showcar helping Galpin celebrate the Mustang's golden anniversary, with the car is covered in the precious metal. The black paint over the body has gold flecks in it, and the wheels, side sills, brake calipers and badges all match, as well. However, it takes more than something shiny to truly impress at SEMA, and Galpin's Mustang also packs a Whipple supercharger for the 5.0-liter V8, boosting the bottom line to 725 horsepower. Take that, Hellcat. There's even a window in the hood to look through, not unlike a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The coupe also wears new headlights with LED turn signals that activate in sequence, just like the taillights, and the interior features black-and-gold Recaro seats.
Also set for its SEMA debut is an MRT showcar that takes the EcoBoost Mustang for a gallop with its TKO treatment. The black and orange two-tone car has been designed to incorporate select road racing elements. Mechanical upgrades include 14-inch brake rotors with new ducts, a Vortech air-to-air intercooler and an Air Lift suspension. The Mustang also shows off the company's products for added style and performance including a hood with integrated heat extractors and a unique front splitter.

Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a lean, mean, Z/28-fighting machine [w/video]

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

If there's one thing you can count on, it's that the renewed rivalry between the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro will never, ever cease. For every version of Ford's pony car, there's an equally potent Chevrolet. And so with the debut of the Camaro Z/28 earlier this year, Ford has responded with a track-focused 'Stang of its own, resurrecting the Shelby GT350 name.
It looks to be a fine piece of work, this Mustang, with power coming from a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V8 that will produce "more than 500 horsepower" and "above 400" pound-feet of torque. That grunt runs to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, and a Torsen limited-slip differential keeps everything in line.
But that's hardly the most impressive piece of the GT350 puzzle. Ford has increased the Mustang GT's chassis stiffness for duty here in the Shelby, and the coupe employs MagneRide damping which automatically adjusts based on road conditions and driver inputs. It's a first both for the Blue Oval and for the segment. And speaking of firsts, the GT350 uses a flat-plane crankshaft - something Ford has never included in a production V8 before.
