1969 Ford Fairlane 428 Cobra Jet, Only 39k Miles !! on 2040-cars
Marengo, Illinois, United States
|
I am selling a true time capsule. This 1969 Ford Fairlane has only 39,000 original documented miles. Absolutely NO RUST ever on this car. It has the original numbers matching 428 Cobra Jet Motor with the factory Ram Air still intact and operational. It's the original 3 speed automatic C6 Trans, and runs perfectly. The interior is all original and in EXCELLENT condition. The original polyglass spare tire is still in the trunk. I have the factory build sheet, protecto plate, Marti Report, and a copy of the original title when purchased new. This car was purchased from the son of the original owner 6 years ago and has been pampered in a climate controlled garage since. The only components ever replaced on the car are the tires, a water pump and a carburetor. I still have the original water pump and carb. The car has been repainted once in the factory color. The paint and chrome are very smooth and shine like new. The interior is in EXCELLENT condition as well with no signs of wear, or sun fading. The under carriage of this car is as clean and rust free as the top. Entire car is VERY clean and in EXCELLENT condition. The car needs nothing at all.... If you are looking for an ALL Original, extremely low milage, clean honest car, this is the one. This car drives incredibly well, it's tight, with no squeaks or rattles, and drives as straight as an arrow. Every once in a great while you come accross a true collector car and this is one of those. Absolutely nothing to hide and no sales pitch needed, walk in the climate controlled garage and see for yourself. The car will sell itself and you will NOT be disappointed.

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025
Wed, 11 Jun 2014In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like
Sat, 12 Oct 2013Artist 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.
