Year:1968 Mileage:86000 Color: only

Southington, Connecticut, United States

Selling my 1968 Ford Fairlane.  The vehicle was always stored inside, but at one time it was stored with the trunk exposed(Paint fading in trunk lid and trunk drops and lower quarter panels have rust). The Fairlane is all original other than the Driver's side front fender, which was replaced by a rust free original Fairlane fender.

  The car currently has a 1991 351w from an f-150.  The engine has a 4 barrel Elderbock intake but it's set up with a block plate to run a 2 barrel carb, it has a new timing chain, water pump,, thermostat and hoses.  I have the original engine to the car, but it's disassembled.  The original C-4 transmission works fine and the original 8 inch rear end also.  The car has working drum brakes(Non powered).

The interior is in mint shape, original dash  and seat covers without wear and tears.  Rear deck cover is also in one section and no speaker cut offs.  All original glass in great working condition.  Doors are rust free as the hood, trunk, fenders.  The vinyl top is nearly perfect. 

The underneath of the car is rust free other than a small 2 inch area in the rear drivers seat corner.  Front and rear frame rails look amazing as the radiator support and front frame rails. Torque boxes are solid.  Car has power steering and tires are ok. The front suspension is also solid.

The trunk has the original tank and the original jack. Trim is in descent condition but I am missing the driver's side fender nose trim.

I have one original CT title dated 1978 and numerous receipts.  I have a fair reserve and selling the car locally so I have the option to end the auction early.

The pictures speak for themselves and have many more available if need be.  Email me with your cell or e-mail if you want to see something specific.

Good luck and thank you for bidding.        Ruben.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.

One Step at a Time
Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another.
Chuck Schwynoch had been patiently listening to my ramblings on the other end of the phone for a solid half hour. I'm not too big of a man to know when to ask for help, and at this point, I desperately needed some assistance. The truth is, working on a machine like a Fox Body Mustang is as easy as breathing thanks to the wealth of information available on the web. Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another, and odds are the sorry souls behind those builds shared the highs and lows of their torment with the internet community.
