A nice 1967 Ford Fairlane 500 XL Ranchero, Red exterior with Black interior. Bucket seats with console and automatic shifter on the console. It has a 289 V8 2 barrell carb with dual exhaust. It comes with a trailer hitch, and rear air shocks. The vehicle needs some love and attention. The red paint is faded, and the chrome in need of some elbow grease. I have had the vehicle for 17 years and drove it as my daily driver for the first few years I owned it. For the most part the body is in great shape, all straight sheet metal, only one minor spot of rust (see pics) and the chrome bumpers are straight. The tailight rings on the rear have a few dimples in them (see pics) as does the front grille piece (see pics). The drivers seat has a tear on the top left corner of the seat back (see pics). The dash board has cracks in it from sitting out in the sun. This car has sat out in the open for many years as you can tell by the faded paint. I have tried to show pictures of all the areas of the car, especially with the defects listed above in them. The engine has not been started in 3 years and I think I might have dropped a push rod when I shut it off last time. I was trying to start the engine and it stopped and spun backwards. I have tried to free the stuck engine, but I am physically unable to do much physical work anymore, so I am going to let some lucky car person who is looking for a great car, take possession and reap the benefits. The transmission and brakes work great. This will make a great project car with the only major issue being the stuck engine. Once running you will love the car. Please ask questions as I want potential bidders to be satisfied with what they are bidding on. The car does have air conditioning but does not work.

Ford jumps back in the water with marinized 6.2L V8
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Nameplates like the Mercury Mariner and Lincoln Navigator aside, Ford hasn't offered a marine engine in over two decades. But through a new partnership with one of the biggest names in the business, the Dearborn-based automaker is dipping its proverbial toes back in the water.
Announced yesterday at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the new partnership between Ford Component Sales and Indmar Marine Engines will see the 6.2-liter V8 from the F-150 SVT Raptor and F-Series Super Duty marinized for use in boats.
The largest privately owned inboard gasoline marine engine manufacturer in the world, Indmar has been in the business for 43 years, and figures the Ford V8 will be just what watersport enthusiasts are looking for to tow waterskiers and wakeboarders to their hearts' content.
Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial
Wed, 28 May 2014How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.
Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.
