Clean Idaho title. This Fairlane runs and drives nicely. Not currently licensed. Car has power steering with rebuilt control valve. This Fairlane was recently refurbished. Not a total restoration but I will list what was done to my knowledge.
ENGINE- 289, std bore from an 80K 1966 donor car was rebuilt professionally with a 292 cam, Edlebrock Performer intake, rebuilt Holley 450 4 barrel carb. All new rod, cam, and main bearings, new flat top pistons, new oil pump and shaft, new plugs etc. Zinc additive added to initial oil change. New exhaust and mufflers. C-4, checked out by mechanic as great, filter and fluid changed. BODY- Entire body was dismantled and blasted, primed with 2K primer. The drivers floor pan and lower rear quarters were the only rusted areas and were replaced. All window tracks were removed, cleaned and re-lubed. Refurbished grill assembly. All turn signal and tail lights were cleaned and re-assembled. Car was mostly shaved and electric door poppers installed. A black basecoat/clearcoat system from NAPA was used to spray the car. INTERIOR-New headliner, rear package tray, carpet and pad, door panels, interior quarter panels, arm rest pads, new dash pad cover, new upholstery on front and rear seats. Front seats are 66 Mustang units. New seat belts up front. trunk divider panel, dome light, ignition switch, glove box liner, refurbished wiring where necessary. Aftermarket hump-hugger console. Heater works. Carpeted trunk. Dash instruments and interior paint refurbished, misc. stuff repaired. WEATHERSTRIPPING-new windshield seal, new rear window rubber seal, new beltline fuzzies on doors and quarter windows, door seals, roof rail weatherstrip, cowl to hood seal, radiator to hood seal, trunk seal, headlight seals, door and hood rubber bumpers etc. New wipers. GLASS- all glass is in very good condition, each piece was removed and resealed where necessary. Old school ET mags with good radial tires. Spare tire and all jack hardware, New shocks up front, air shocks in the rear. Replaced gas tank with a known good clean unit. BRAKES- new or rebuilt master cylinder and all wheel cylinders. New brake pads, re-lubed wheel bearings. New idler arm. Car does need front and rear bumpers re-chromed. They are very straight and will need only normal prep. Paint and body are not flawless, some minor dings and a fair amount of swirl marks in clear coat. Looks great at 5 feet but is not a "new car" finish. This car was bought as an unfinished project and then completed so I have only listed what I actually know about it. Speedometer reads 5400 so it has turned over, don't know if that is original unit or not. All said, this is a pretty straight car that is fun to drive and has hard all the hard work done. Has two 100 watt speakers in back but needs a stereo. Feel free to call- 208-888-4543 for questions. |

Why Edmunds took a sledgehammer to its 2015 Ford F-150
Tue, Jan 27 2015The discussion around repair bills for the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 pickup continued from the beginning of last year to the end, and haven't abated; as an aside, some Tesla Model S owners have been shocked at disquieting repair estimates for minor damage to their aluminum wunder-sedans. Edmunds decided to inject some fact into the fray: it bought a $52,000 long-term 2015 F-150 and clouted it with an eight-pound sledgehammer. Twice. The rear of the bedside took the impacts since it couldn't be replaced, it would have to be repaired. To the pickup's credit, the only reason associate editor Travis Langness hit it twice was that the first sledgehammer blow didn't do as much damage as Edmunds wanted. After the second, the visible damage included the two direct impacts, a few creases, and a cracked taillight, so they drove the pickup to Santa Monica Ford to get an estimate, complete with a fictitious story about how the damage occurred and the mercy plea that Langness was paying for the repair out-of-pocket. In Part 2 Langness hits on some of the details with getting the truck fixed, such as the massively expensive taillight and the list of tools Ford recommends dealers have to work on aluminum. But he was promised he'd have his truck back in seven days, and Santa Monica Ford got it back to him in seven days. In Part 3 we get the bill. It's not small, but it's quite a bit less than it could have been if the service manager had charged Edmunds the official labor rate for aluminum. We're not going to spoil it here, so check out the videos above and below for the beginning and the end, and head over to Edmunds for the complete story about how it all happened and some riffing on the repair numbers.

Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.
