Please read full ad for complete details!    Hey guys and gals for sale is my 1963 Ford Fairlane 500. This is my daily driver that I'm looking to sell. Side note this car is going to be in the new Tim Burton movie called "Big eyes" They offered me a small part of driving the car through an intersection in a scene in little Italy in San Francisco.  On to the good stuff: Fresh paint from macco about 2 years old (They actually did a great job!). The previous owner had it painted with the original color. It has an ATK remanufactured 302 motor swap. The motor came from an early 70's truck and runs strong. It sounds like it has a mild cam but I'm not sure what the previous owner did to the motor. Just replaced the generator, battery, starter, and the electrical box that controls everything (sorry I forget what it's called) the motor is backed by a C4 trans which shifts quick and smooth. The tires are brand new and purchased from Americas tire company theres a full size spare with stock rim in the trunk. There is no rust on the car at all, it is super solid no rust bubbles anywhere. I've been driving her for over a year everyday and haven't had any issues. I'm not sure what rear is in it but it has no issues smoking the tires and will get up and chirp going into 2nd. The exhaust is cut off at the rear seats and has a awesome deep hotrod sound. You can cruise the car all day at 75mph at 2,600rpm. It comes with the original air condition floor unit. It works but does not blow cold due to the AC compressor unit being removed for the motor swap. It has front bucket seats, original radio, all the gauges work, and has great chrome on the bumpers. The heater works as long with the windshield wipers and everything else. There is an after market cd player with aux input. There are no leaks in any of the seals and haven't seen any drips where I park it. There really isn't any bad stuff with this car, just stuff that could use a little TLC but the car does not "need" it, it's just more cosmetic stuff. The speedo is off by about 10 miles but just needs the correct tooth speedo gear to fix. The previous owner kept the original speedo gear and put it into the C4 which is the reason it's not correct. The interior needs some help, the carpet and back bench needs to be redone but the door panels and headliner are in great shape. There is a ding in the rear right passenger door. The trunk needs a new lock, but it still opens and closes. The top rear left side of the bumper dips down a little bit but there is no cracks or anything in the chrome. The front shocks squeak and may need to be replaced but she still rides great and the rear seems fine. So that's pretty much it, everything that is "not so good" isn't anything that effects the cars drivability itself and is mostly small stuff that would be expected with a 50 year old car. I have a clear California title with the original black plates. All the glass is in perfect shape and the windows all work perfectly. You won't be disappointed with this car. If you have any questions feel free shoot me a message. Shipping responsibility will be on the buyer. I recommend using uShip for the best rates. Feel free to come take a test drive if you're local. A $500 down payment must be made within 48 hours. The remaining balance must be paid within 7 days after auction close. There will be an aditional $150 charge for the eBay fees so please take that into consideration when bidding. If a bidder uses the "buy it now" option The eBay fee charge wont be added.  Good luck and happy bidding!!!

Ford idling Michigan Assembly Plant to trim Focus, C-Max supply

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Ford will be putting the brakes on production at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, idling production during the weeks of October 28 and December 16. Ford is citing the first drop in US sales in 27 months, a 4.2-percent dip in September, as the impetus for trimming their supplies, according to Automotive News.
Ford's deft management of its supplies has been part of its success over the years, and seeing supplies of Focus and C-Max, the two vehicles built at MAP, rise from 58 and 108 days, respectively, to 71 and 122 days over the span of a month was apparently all that was need to justify the trimming. As AN points out, the rule of thumb for many automakers is to maintain a 60-day supply of vehicles.
"Ford has been focused on keeping their pricing in check. Their operating margin is in double digits. Nobody else is there and they're obviously very proud of that," Alan Baum, an auto analyst with Baum & Associates told AN. Keeping the supply chain operating smoothly and not increasing supplies too much is crucial to that healthy profit margin. After all, a large supply lowers prices ,which, in turn, cuts profit. So while this news might not be great for employees at MAP, who now have an extra two weeks of vacation time, it's far from a sign of problems in Dearborn. Quite the opposite, actually.

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:

Ford C-Max spot aimed squarely at Cadillac ELR 'Poolside' hubris [UPDATE]

Thu, Mar 27 2014

If we had tried to predict the first video response to the controversial Poolside video for the Cadillac ELR, we would not have thought it would center on compost. But, hey, it's always nice to be reminded that the real world is sometimes better than fiction. Instead of the chic swagger of 'Poolside,' 'Anything Is Possible' is all about getting dirty. The new short in question is called Upside: Anything Is Possible and it promotes two things: Detroit Dirt and the Ford C-Max Energi. As in the ELR ad, Ford's plug-in C-Max only makes an appearance at the tail end of the spot, but instead of the chic swagger of Poolside, Anything Is Possible is all about getting dirty. The ad stars Pashon Murray, co-founder of Detroit Dirt, which takes natural waste from around Detroit, composts it into soil and then spreads that around "forgotten parcels" of Detroit to create urban farms. Detroit Dirt gets its bio-waste from a lot of sources, including the Detroit Zoological Society (all that herbivore manure has to go somewhere), Ford and General Motors, but this particular ad was the idea of Ford's PR agency, Team Detroit. It was a frenetic shoot, filmed with an LA-based director right after a big winter storm blew through Detroit, and Murray couldn't be happier with the result. "This was Ford Motor Company pushing my story, letting me tell the story that I believe in," Murray tells AutoblogGreen. "I get to help push this car and I get to tell my story." She says that the Team Detroit and Ford had to agree on the message, "from my understanding, [YouTube] is where they wanted to start, not where they wanted to finish." The ad is already getting a positive response on Twitter, so we won't be surprised if it shows up in more places soon. "It's not saying Ford is better than GM. It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." As Detroit Dirt has off-screen support from both GM and Ford, it's unsurprising to hear Murray say that the video "is not a rivalry thing." She notes that the ad agency Team Detroit came to her and offered to tell the Detroit Dirt story using the framework of the GM ad. "It's a parody on this commercial, but it's not saying Ford is better than GM," she said. "It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." What is that story? It's about urban farming, recovery and recycling. Murray tells us that for the last seven or eight years, she's been dedicated to sustainability.
