1968 Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible on 2040-cars
North Reading, Massachusetts, United States
Up for auction , at no reserve, is a 1968 Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible. This convertible was purchased 5 years from California, still have the Calf. title from previous owner. The body on this convertible is in solid condition. The floors and trunk are in amazing shape. The body does have small dents and dings and is showing small bubbles in areas but remember it is a 46 year old car. I would rate this car as a driver and deserves to be driven. The 302 motor runs strong and has a rebuilt Holley 4bbl on an aluminum Offy manifold with chrome air cleaner, otherwise motor is stock. The automatic transmission does have a slight whine to it but shifts normal with no slipping, might need a fluid and filter change. Cragar SS mags and BF Goodrich tires where purchased 2 years ago. Gas tank and radiator were removed, tested and cleaned. New water pump and tune up. Interior appears to be original, seats in nice shape . Passenger window was removed and needs to be reinstalled. Dash pad is in excellent shape, it has no heat warpage or cracks. Convertible has power top and functions fine. Bought this car with the intentions to drive it but seems it just stays in the garage. Email me with any questions. I will not sell this car outside of the U.S. Buyer is responsible for transporting car. Thanks for looking.

Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang appears at EAA Oshkosh
Sat, 26 Jul 2014Ford is back at the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, WI, on July 31 auctioning off its seventh Mustang for charity, and this is one seriously mean looking 2015 'Stang. All of the money from the sale goes to give free introductory flights to young people to get them interested in aviation.
We recently saw this latest EAA Mustang as a sketch. However, it looks a whole lot more menacing in person. Dubbed the Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang, it takes liberal inspiration from Lockheed Martin's latest fighter jet, and the customization makes the pony car look ready for a role in Top Gun.
On the outside, the special Mustang wears titanium-color paint that's offset by a black and yellow stripe running from hood to rear. Out back things get really wild with a mix of bright yellow and black that flows diagonally all the way to the rear spoiler. The design is based on the livery of early production F-35s. If the rousing color scheme isn't enough to get you interested, the car also gets a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, lowered suspension and a set of custom 21-inch wheels with yellow brake calipers.
New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'
Sun, 08 Jun 2014Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
Ford pits The Stig against Gran Turismo 6 in Focus ST Goodwood run
Thu, 03 Jul 2014The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the world great automotive gatherings. So, it was the perfect event for Ford to give the refreshed 2015 Focus ST its world debut in front of a loving public. It even surprised us with a new diesel-powered version, as well.
The Blue Oval really put its focus on making the ST a better driver for this refresh. It left its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alone to still pump out a respectable 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The changes like a retuned front suspension, electric power steering and improved interior made the hot hatch an even better place to spend time behind the wheel.
To prove that the Focus ST is still as potent as ever, Ford set up a one-on-one race up the Goodwood Hill. But instead of putting the two cars side-by-side, former Stig from Top Gear UK, Ben Collins, piloted the real model up the course, and his rival drove the virtual version in Gran Turismo 6. The two hot hatches set off at the same time to see whether reality could beat the virtual world, and the finish was actually extremely close. Scroll down to watch the video and find out the winner of this battle at Goodwood.
