1963 Ford Fairlane for sale. This car is in awesome condition. I purchased it a year ago from an older guy who took very good care of this car. I'll do my best to describe it.
Paint is in great condition. Painted a year ago and it shines nicely. The car was never taken back to be properly buffed. When it gets buffed, it is going to shine like glass. The gold paint has some metal flake in it. It looks really nice. The chrome is in really good shape. It does have some very, very light pitting that can easily be cleaned off. All the moldings and emblems are in good shape. Bumpers are in good shape. All doors open and shut perfectly and are aligned very well. Radio and Antenna work(AM only). All lights, wipers, and heat work. It has the original V8 - 260 Short Block engine. Engine was refreshed two years ago. 3 speed transmission. It has dual exhaust (Flow Masters). Sounds very aggressive for a small engine. I purchased an extra grille and light bezels that I will include with the car. Interior dome light works but the plastic dome is cracked. $15 on Ebay. Headliner and seats are in mint condition. Dash is mint, no cracks. Rear deck is mint. Door panels are mint. All windows are manual and work perfectly. Engine compartment is really nice. Car has no visible rust other than the light, and I mean very light surface rust and pitting on the chrome. Car has (I believe) 14" wheels and whitewall tires. It also has fender skirts.
I love this car but I cant really keep it. I have an 83 Cutlass and I am about to purchase a 63 Impala. Don't have the space. Cutlass is completely custom so this one must go. Car is in great shape for a 50 year old car! If it does not sell, I will place a set of 20" rims on it and drop a 302 High Output engine in it. Then i will play with it for a while.
Don't let this piece of American history pass you by!

A tribute to William Clay Ford
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.
Mustang parts under the new Lincoln Aviator mean good things for Ford
Wed, Mar 28 2018NEW YORK — As we mentioned last night, underneath the new Lincoln Aviator "concept" there appears to be an independent rear suspension lifted right from the Ford Mustang parts bin. And while it's pretty cool on its face that Mustang rear-drive platform bits are being reused in the broader Ford universe, what this means for the next Explorer could be really cool. A quick caveat: The Aviator here in New York is very close to the production version, but it's not technically a production car. It looks hand-built, with temporary exhaust and some show-car touches. The suspension underneath looks exactly like a Mustang's, but the actual production Aviator will almost certainly use beefier components with the same basic design and geometry, since the Aviator will be much heavier than the smaller Mustang. That being said, we're fairly confident that even at this early stage, the Mustang-derived suspension seen in New York is a preview of what'll be under the production Aviator. Furthermore, Ford won't say it, but based on what we're seeing on Aviator, it's a safe bet that Ford will utilize the Aviator platform for the next Explorer. That would enable the economies of scale necessary to produce a brand new rear-drive-based SUV platform in the first place. It also means that the Explorer should be available without AWD — and given the stable of powerful EcoBoost engines, and the competent 10-speed automatic in the parts bin, a rear-drive Explorer has a shot at being a decent driver. Aviator wouldn't go rear-drive-based if driving dynamics weren't important; Explorer should inherit these priorities. More evidence: The Explorer spy shots we saw back in February sure share the Aviator's general proportions. Even back then, before Aviator was revealed, we were hypothesizing that an EcoBoost 3.5-liter-powered version could boast as much as 400 horsepower, if the Expedition's tune were adopted. Suddenly, the Explorer seems very interesting. So, an EcoBoost, rear-drive Explorer sure sounds like something Ford Performance would be interested in, right? We knew an Explorer ST is coming, but with 365-400 horsepower potential and a chassis designed with dynamics in mind, it doesn't seem like as much of a stretch as the Edge ST. And a performance-oriented AWD system is a possibility, too. That's an area where Ford has been gathering experience at a rapid pace. What do we not expect from a new Explorer? A V8.
Ken Block ain't got a care about ruining his wheels
Tue, 22 Jan 2013During a drifting session at Irwindale Speedway in California, Ken Block made a boo-boo that would send a number of drivers immediately back to the infield. But there's an answer to "What do you do when you bash the wall while drifting and your wheel explodes?" and there's completely different answer when the question begins with the phrase, "When you're Ken Block..."
Instead of us telling you how Block handled the calamity in his Ford Fiesta competition car, you can watch it happen in the video below. You can probably also guess what it is - but it's more fun to watch.
