I am selling a 1963 Ford Fairlane Ranch Wagon.    This classic vehicle has 56000 original miles on it.   I got it from the owners son when his father died.    It had been sitting in a garage for over 30 years.    I got it the way it is and I intended to restore for my son but he has lost interest in this project.     However we start the project by putting in a new gas tank /valve with a lifetime warranty, a new battery and 4 new white wall tires.    Oddly enough this car started right up and it purrs like a kitten.   So .. so smooth.     This is car is a conventional shift.  An "H" pattern gear shift lever is used to shift the 3-speed conventional drive standard transmission. The standard 3-speed "H" shifting pattern is also used with the Overdrive transmission.    When I got this car approximately 5 years it did not run.  It runs so good now.   The two bench seats, front and back definitely need to reupholstered.    The floor boards/pans were completely rotted / rusted out.  We have replaced the front, did not make it to the back yet.   It needs a new a headliner, I have all of the pieces that it requires.   And of course after doing the rear floor boards / pans then it would need a carpet kit.     Now, as I said I started this restoration project.    So I ordered the carpet kit and the rear floor pans and some miscellaneous pieces /odds n ends for the interior which are all still in the boxes in the car.     As you will tell by the photos, it could use a paint job.   It is white with a red stripping down the side.   It has all the original emblems though.     All the windows and doors work perfect.   The dash area even looks fine.     This is a project car for someone who knows the value of this car.   It could be beautiful with the correct restoration.     I also all the original paperwork down to every oil change that was done on this car and  the original book (manual) .     Please email me if you have any questions or would like to see more photos.   My loss is your gain. 

Also, if you are winner of this auction I can help you out with the shipping (receiving) of the vehicle.   I own an auto transport business and if you are within our states of travel we can definitely provide you a good price.. If you are not within our transport states then I can still help out by saving you the broker fee to find a transport company.

This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like

Sat, 12 Oct 2013

Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.
