For sale is my 1963 Ford Fairlane 4-door project car. This car has been heavily modified, but is incomplete in its current state. Originally equipped with a 200ci 6 cylinder w/automatic, this car now has a newly built 347ci stroker motor and rebuilt 4-speed Top Loader transmission. This car runs, drives, and brakes at low speeds, but is incomplete and will require additional work (listed below) to be made roadworthy. The interior and exterior have remained mostly untouched since I bought the car, and could use some work as well. This car has spent most of its life in California, so it is mostly free of any deep rusting except where I have mentioned it. Includes some additional parts that you may need to complete this project. I have kept receipts for almost all of the parts on the car, as well as documentation for the aftermarket parts installed. Registered in California with a clean title and no back-fees (current non-operational status.)

A complete list of all the work done to the car is as follows:
  • Engine bay completely stripped, sandblasted, and coated with bedliner
  • All engine bay and front end parts sandblasted and painted black
  • Passenger side framerail and battery tray completely replaced where they had rusted out
  • Stock front suspension and steering rebuilt with new bushings and shocks
  • Lowered front and rear (1.5 coils cut in front, reversed 2 leafs in rear)
  • Scarebird front disk brake kit installed with Mustang rotors and Maverick master cylinder, brand new front lines and proportioning valve in rear
  • 15" chrome smoothie wheels in front w/new tires, balanced

Engine & transmission specs:

  • 347 Ford Stroker Motor (.030 over '78 block)
  • Probe/Coast High Performance rotating assembly (fully balanced)
  • 10.5:1 compression ratio
  • Converted to roller valvetrain with Howard's Cams linked roller lifters
  • Comp Cams XE274HR Hydraulic Roller Camshaft
  • Scorpion 1.6 roller rockers
  • Trick Flow TFS170 Twisted Wedge cylinder heads
  • Summit intake manifold (RPM Air-Gap style)
  • ARP head bolts and main studs
  • Windage tray
  • Doug's Tri-Y headers
  • Aluminum radiator (2 row, 1" tubes)
  • Professional Products Powerfire distributor
  • Ford Racing plug wires
  • Summit 750CFM carburetor
  • Summit mechanical fuel pump
  • 3/8" steel fuel line front to rear
  • Ford 1G alternator
  • New battery
  • Hydraulic clutch master & slave cylinder to replace mechanical linkage
  • Toploader 4 speed transmission with wide-ratio gearing, rebuilt with kit from Toploader Heaven

This car does have its share of problems, which I'll do my best to disclose to you here.

Externally, the clearcoat is flaking off, and there is some body filler that has cracked along the driver's side door. The exterior does have quite a bit of body filler in it, although exactly how much I can't be sure of. The interior does need to be redone, as well. The seats were reupholstered before, but the springs in the front seat are sagging. the carpet in it was replaced, but does not fit the area around the shifter anymore after the manual was swapped in. A plate also needs to be fabricated to fill the hole that has been cut in the floor around the shifter handle. The headliner is completely gone. The passenger side floorboard should probably be replaced, but doesn't have any holes in it yet.

The engine is untuned right now, and runs very rich. The hydraulic clutch slave cylinder currently leaks fluid, and so has to be bled and refilled every once in a while before driving it. There is one very slow leak coming from the transmission tailhousing gasket, and a small coolant leak around the heater hose outlet on the intake manifold. The brakes, while operational, most likely need to be adjusted as they do not work very well right now. The transmission should be shimmed to sit higher in the transmission tunnel, as it currently hangs slightly too low. Also, there is no exhaust at the moment, so it is extremely loud.

I've had the car up into 2nd gear on the street in its current condition. It's close to being roadworthy, but as you can see this is still very much a project, and will need to be towed away. I am selling it because it requires more attention than I can give it right now. While I've tried to list all the major issues with this car, there are many more that are either too small to mention, or I'm just not aware of, and for this reason the sale of this car is completely AS-IS. Ask as many questions as you need, and I'll do my best to answer them. I would encourage you to come look at it before placing a bid, if possible.

Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.
