Miles on Cars
Добавлен 24 дек 2013
I am an automotive technical and feature writer, mainly interested in vintage and late-model GMs and Fords. I worked as a technical and feature editor for numerous automotive print magazines including Car Craft, Super Ford, Mustang Monthly and several other print and digital outlets, such as LSXmag and fordmuscle. I have also written for Fastest Street Car magazine and Race Pages Digital that cover NMCA and NMRA drag racing. Having written and photographed automotive-related content for more than 32 years, I still enjoy doing it now in video form as much as I did in the early 1990s.

We have a 63 Falcon Futura two-door hardtop with a factory bench seat. The four videos show how to recover the seat with new original-type 1963 covers from Distinctive Industries. The installation shop we worked with is Mustang Country International. They did a great job recovering our seat. Let's take a look.

National Corvette Museum visit
Просмотров 1939 месяцев назад
A 2023 visit to the National Corvette Museum, across the highway from the Bowling Green, Kentucky Corvette Assembly plant. The main focus here are mid-year '63-'67 cars and '68-'72 shark-body metal-bumper cars. My favorite 10-year span of all Corvettes. There are also some tasty solid-axle, C7 and C8 morsels here as well. Enjoy!
2014 Ford Focus ST
Просмотров 205Год назад
A Ford hot hatch that I have always wanted. If you are into Ford cars and trucks and you want to have a car that's super fun to drive, but a little more practial than a Mustang, it's hard to beat a 2013-2018 Focus ST. These little hatchbacks are pretty quick and handle like a go-kart. Great stuff! Buy one if you've been looking at them. You can't go wrong as far as I can tell.

Sold my Fairlane. Please excuse the loud wind at some points in the vid. And also my silly emotional moments as well. It's a great car that I will always love.

1966 Fairlane 500 two-door hardtop
Просмотров 58 тыс.2 года назад
My 1966 Fairlane 500 two-door hardtop is a really super-fun, full-of-character, noisy old hot rod. Definitely not perfect, I still love it as much as any other car I have owned. Its high-strung, short-deck small block revs real good and is pure joy as it screams like a buzzsaw on its way to its 6000-6200 rpm shift point. I am probably going to have to reluctantly let go of it here sometime soon...
'64 Fairlane Thunderbolt die-cast
Просмотров 1092 года назад
One of the most legendary Ford drag cars of all time, the '64 Fairlane Thunderbolt was a big winner right from the get-go. A replacement for the '63-'64 full-size R-code 427 Galaxies that are super cool in their own right, the one-year-only 427 T-bolt was considerably lighter than the aircraft-carrier Galaxies. To go quicker and faster, you always want to add lightness and the T-bolts did that ...
Corgi Toy '69 Corvette
Просмотров 2263 года назад
A brief historical look at 1969 Corvettes, the model year that many consider to be the best of all '68-'82 shark-body C3s. Also mixed in here is a look at Corgi Toys, the company that made this particular die-cast model. Some Corgi cars had some strange features and this one has many. Check and see how many you can count.

Here we present one of the most complete collections of '65-'70 Shelby GT350s and GT500s we have seen, in our more than 35 years of being involved with vintage Mustangs. After the Shelby years and as an added bonus, there are several '71 Mustangs in the collection most of which are Boss 351s or Mach 1s with 429 Cobra Jet or Super Cobra Jet power. The collection is now open to the public. For mo...
In-tank electric fuel pump replacement in a 2006 Ford E-150 Econoline van
Просмотров 4953 года назад
If the electric fuel pump dies in your late-model Ford car, truck, SUV or van, there might be a few tips here to help you out with the replacement procedure. It might not be the slickest vid in U-Tube land, but it's hoped it'll be informative to anyone facing this less-than-thrilling task.

Visiting Lansing Grand River assembly with a 2009 Cadillac CTS-V
I love seeing videos like this, I drove my corvette up to the bowling green plant 2 years ago from Texas. Awesome.
Extremely quick i bet
very nice love it
I have a 2015 Focus SE with the 5 speed. The car is great, it's smooth handles great and gets great gas mileage. It keeps up with traffic very well. Also the AC in these cars gets ice cold quickly. I got the car cheap so I'm not complaining. Definitely worth it if you can find a manual one. Also stay away from the 1.0 Ecoboost
way 2-many-codes!!!!!!
Sweet ride
I feel you & sorry you had to sell , it my dream car & slowly trying to restore my 66 fairlane 500 . I finally got 1 I'm 54 ,my best wishes to you. I wish you had some video of your build but watching thanks!! Mor Wil payson, az.
Yea it was a tough day. thanks for the kind words. current owner is a super cool guy and I have seen it a few times since.
How much for it!
Is this the same site as the old assembly plant in Lansing ?
That's a really slick example! Great work keeping it so nice, I'm sure its a pleasure to drive
I like tasca ford sign
I wish I would have sent this earlier, I would have bought it. If your friend would like to sell it, please let me know. Mark Pittser
I would have gone 32k
is it a 302?
I had a 283 Corvette motor nice cam in a 68 nova. The 289 and 283 short stroke were some of the best and 0 to 60 was scary. Guess they quit making them because they were..BULLETPROOF!!!!
sure...love GMs too...🤗
I so nearly won an Ebay auction for one of these in England a few years ago. It would have been so cool 😎 As you might imagine...In England it is rarer to see than hens teeth.
❤My dad bought a brand new 66 Fairlane two door hard top same color as this one .I believe he got it with a 390 engine.
Danm!! I hope you still have that beauty!! ❤
Dearborn classics good place for Fairlane and torino pqrts
Beautiful. Love it.
Plastic fuel filter? BAD idea. Where's the w/w motor?
Originally a six, I guess the 200? I assumed by the earlier video that it came stock with a 289 2bbl. The early Fairlane was the perfect platform for the 289/302. I would have loved to own your Fairlane.
Very sharp ford Fairlane you have there. Love to have it.
Beautiful car
Great car. Two wiper blades and a wiper motor and your set 😳
An underappreciated or overlooked perhaps marketing at the time. What a nice car I like Dog/Granny caps ... and forget "numbers matching" ...haha the only numbers are those on the Speed limit that C4 trans is the way to go ... Grammy approves. Whomever owns it... lucky you
How many ports did the fuel pump have??
How does it drive in the rain?
I never drove it in the rain and if I had it probably would have been just fine.
Epitome of perfection
Yes thanks! it wasn't totally perfect, but it was and still is a pretty cool and super fun car.
What do you need for it?
sold last year
@@milesoncars6588 May I ask what it sold for? Trying to get an idea on what to pay...thanks!
23k. now probly worth at least 25 or more
i am Croatian and my best American car (that i was driving 15years old was chevy cammaro t top yealow 1988 5.7 v8 manuall. . . . They are so rare that in Split Adriatic coast town (2nd largest in Croatia ) there were only 2-3 cammaro 's and 3 pontiac TransAm back in 2001. today maybe one of each in all Croatia! I was so proud when my friends let me go but some food and beer to all of us construction workers (♡it go to market so people's gave me 👍 like in lambo or anything of exotic cars! we LOVE muscle cars here like you love AMGs and M (bmw) and Audi RS or S models
Tasca Ford is in Massachusetts, the salt belt, apparently where it came from.
Tasca ford was originally and still is in providence rhode island. car was from wisconsin.
@@milesoncars6588 why does it say Tasca on the truck lid??
@@rk22cc just for fun...didn't think it was a big problem. just becuz it is a cool dealership where the 428CJ was created. is it an issue? was i not allowed to have it on there? maybe illegal or something?...jeeeezo lol
@@milesoncars6588 why won't you answer my inquiry?
@@rk22cc I DID...see above.
Is that the model that was windshield wipers optional?
A nice 66 Fairlane, nice colour paint. Nothing at all wrong with a hot-rodded 302 but would have preferred the 289.
Where are the windshield wipers? Also that grill looks different than original.
who cares about the dang wipers??? I drove the car in the rain exactly never. grille is exact 66 grille. 67 is different and has rectangular shape center emblem. 66 is round.
Is it the year and model they used on Dragnet 66 TV show?
dragnet car was a four door. but yea year and model and color i believe was similar
@@milesoncars6588 thanks for the reply. Couldn’t remember if the TV car was a 4 or 2 door model.
yea pretty sure cop car was a more door...lol.
You're wasting everyone's time by pricing a not perfect car like a perfect car.
car sold a year ago
Sweet fairlane love that year
Sweet car. A buddy in HS back in the 80s had a yellow 1966 390 gt car. Still to this day the feeling of riding in that car and the utter power and noise of a big block burning the tires across a empty mall parking lot for ever lives in my mind. 😂
That's the fun I've having a good sound in car it's pissing off the neighbors if you don't piss the neighbors off at least once a week you're not doing anything right yeah I used to piss off the highway patrol in the ocoee Police scuse me not a Ford Fairlane with my my Ford galaxie add a 393 speed with overdrive glass packs and it would rattle the windows as I went by and the police station with right next to the fire station right there in the center of town right across from a convenience store when you drove up through town going out to highway 50 and you're rolling it pretty good hit rattlin the rattlin the class and stuff in the in the windows and and like I said the police department right across from oak convenience store right next to the fire station so they didn't like it too much I said that's the point of having a good sound in car is pissing off the
If you want to invest a little bit more money you can put a Holley dominator on it add stop at loading up and get it to idle where it's supposed to and a Holley dominator is not really that expensive then you would have a sweet running car that's my suggestion but I think you just trying to offload beautiful car man I wish I had the money to buy it this is Ken down in groveland
Yeah you probably sold that little monster 👹 sweet ride
A beauty
No wipers? 🤷♂️
Very Nice! A schoolmates brother had a big block 4 speed GT version of this in the dark green . Always loved the body style!

Wow nice ! My 390 mustang is fast enough for me ! Lol nice car you have there , you be proud ! You should keep it for ever
