1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie 500 B9ae on 2040-cars
McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, United States
What you are looking at is a 59 Ford with a TON of patina. It was to be built for a rat rod event this Fall but we have aborted the project due to 3 full blown 100 pt. restorations that have arrived. The trunk is super solid. The passenger floor board is the worst, drivers has some issues. (if not doing a full restoration it wouldn't take more than a few hours to weld some new sheet-metal in). The frame is structurally strong, a few small side holes that I did take pictures of. There is no motor, no transmitting or pumpkin in the rear (has axles and 9" housing). This is a roller. Headliner is in great shape. Has some seats, not sure from what. Does also have an exhaust system with a glass pack (single)
This car DOES come with a hood. It was off in preparation of cleaning up under the hood. The original plan was to keep this car looking exactly this way but update the drive line and brakes. We have a 10:1 big cam 390 FE, top loader 4 speed and 3:89 locker rear that were going to go in. If this type of build is something you would be interested in, we can do that as well. With this car being a run of the mill 4 door, I do not suggest a full resto. While we do that, typically its convertibles, hardtops and or wagons. We will also do a patina hot rod. So if something around the 450HP mark with everything updated in this car is something you want, we can make that happen. As we dont just specialize in 59 Fords, we do currently have 2 59 Builds at this time and this car would take a few months to get to. Either way, you are looking at a potentially really fun tire-burning patina rat rod 59 Ford! Here are a LOT Of HIGH RES pictures:
CLICK HERE for many photobucket pictures! You must pick up within 1 week of auction end. I CAN deliver however I am only one guy with a trailer and truck. So it will be expensive and you must have a good place to unload and move the car yourself. You are ultimately responsible for picking the car up. Please bid to win. If you have feedback of less than 10, I have to cancel your bid unless you contact me! |

Feds looking into Ford Explorer exhaust leak complaints
Fri, 20 Jun 2014There may be a burgeoning problem with exhaust leaks in the 2011-2014 model year Ford Explorer. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is examining multiple complaints of a gasoline smell in the cabin of these SUVs. However, the exact cause of this problem is still unknown.
"The agency is reviewing all available data and will take appropriate action as warranted," said a NHTSA spokesperson in an email to Automotive News. Owners seem to generally complain on the regulator's website of the smell entering the cabin through the air vents. At this time, the government organization has not yet opened an official investigation into the problem, though. When it does begin inspecting vehicles, NHTSA posts a detailed breakdown of its public data online.
Similar problems have been reported about the Explorer in the past, though. In 2013, Ford issued a recall for the 2013 model year of the SUV due to a fuel leak that could cause drivers to smell a gasoline odor and repaired them again later for another possible leak. In response to Autoblog's questions, Ford responded via email: "We are not aware of a NHTSA investigation. We are currently reviewing the case and in the event that any action is required, we will address it promptly."
Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak
Thu, 16 Jan 2014A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.
Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas
Wed, 03 Apr 2013The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.
