This auction is for a 1965 Ford Fairlane 500, and she runs. This is the story behind this car: I purchased this from a man who bought it NEW in 1965 for his Mother. He states, “She drove it nowhere for 20 years, and then gave it back to me.” This gentleman is a “pick-up truck” kind of guy, so this sat in his barn for the most part. He says he drove it rarely, just to make sure it started, and he kept it up. He has an emotional attachment to it, as his mother is now gone. The miles on this car, 19,370.8 are the only miles on it. Everything is original. The glass is original without a crack or a chip. The jack and crow bar in the trunk are original and the “how-to” diagram is still pasted to the inside of the trunk. Even the cigarette lighter is accounted for. Original keys and owner’s manual also included. The frame is straight as an arrow. The hood opens, stays open and shuts perfectly. The trunk opens, stays open, and shuts perfectly. Each door shuts and opens perfectly. You can really tell how little actual wear there is on the frame when you open and shut the doors. All the lights work, signals and brakes. You tap a button on the floorboard to switch to bright lights. Speedometer and gas gauge work. I purchased this car almost a year ago, with ideas of grandeur of fixing it up for fun. I find though that I’m more of a “mini-van” kind of woman. I’ve done a couple of things. Oil change, air and oil filter, spark plugs and spark plug wires, and I’ve had the original carburetor refurbished by a man in NJ (He’s actually on eBay!) I find this isn’t exactly my thing, and more important details in my life that require my attention (such as four kids, two jobs, etc.) supersede the restoring of this vehicle. And I just can’t let it sit in my back yard, covered with a tarp anymore. I’ve registered it for four years, paid extra for the ‘collector’s’ plate, and it’s insured…but to what end? This is not going to happen for me in my life right now. This baby still needs some TLC. She needs new tires for sure. The upholstery needs to be replaced. The seals around the windows need to be replaced. New seat belts need to be installed as there are only two lap seat belts in the front seat, none in the back. I’m pretty sure those aren’t to code. She needs painted. I’m not sure if the AM radio works. Do they still broadcast in AM? I can barely hear it, so I think it’s the speakers. Here’s what I know is a flaw: 1. The horn doesn’t work. 2. There is a small dent under the front driver’s side panel. Not visible from the front. I took a detailed photo of it. 3. The “R” in the front where is says “FORD” is missing. The engine is small, it’s a 200 in-line six. It does not have power anything. No power steering. No power windows. Drum brakes, not powered. No A/C. ‘Three on the Tree’ manual shifting. Did I mention, she’s a runner? Once yellow with a tan interior, now she’s more of an Ivory color. I have been on eBay for 15 years now and have impeccable feedback (this is my third job really). As you can see, I deal mostly in ladies lingerie and household collectables. I have never sold a car on eBay. Come to think about it, I’ve never sold a car. I have someone who is willing to assist me in questions you may have about this car, that I can’t answer. So feel free to ask, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. The title is clear, and I have it. |

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit can haul on the track
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Line up any two comparable vehicles, and eople are going to want to race them. Need proof? In its latest track battle, Auto Express wants to know which commercial vehicle can lap a circuit faster - a Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Let's face it, neither of these European vans were ever meant to be near the track unless they are delivering a racecar and a ton of parts for a fun weekend, but it's massively fun to watch them give it a go anyway.
The one thing that Auto Express really illustrates here is the modern marvel that is stability control. The driver hops curves, and these big vans lean in the corners like your friend walking home from a long night at the bar. However, because of the amazing stability systems, the vans mostly keep all of their wheels planted and never seem close to getting sloppy, despite their behemoth size.
Unfortunately, the two vans aren't exactly fairly paired. The Ford has a dual rear axle and a few other advantages over the Mercedes, but it's still hilarious to watch them go. Even better, the host breaks down everything happening behind the wheel like these commercial vehicles were two Porsches. Enjoy watching this very unorthodox battle between Ford and Mercedes.
Ford begins testing right-hand-drive Mustang
Wed, 20 Aug 2014Ford has officially kicked off testing of the right-hand-drive variant of its sixth-generation, 2015 Mustang, according to a statement issued by the company, which came with the above photo.
According to Ford, this will mark the first time a right-hand-drive 'Stang has traveled down the company's assembly line alongside its LHD brethren. It is far from the first of the legendary pony cars to feature its wheel on the wrong side, though, as converters in RHD markets across the globe have been making swaps for years.
Ford is planning on using the white, droptop Mustang for RHD development ahead of the car's arrival in the UK, Australia and South Africa, among other markets. Scroll down for the official press blast.
Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
