I listed this very car earlier this year, feeling confident I was ready to part with her- got a LOT of inquiries and offers but ended up changing my mind and promising myself to get it out on the road and really show it off....I started out great, a few nice long cruises, and my first car show- trophy winner! Really psyched, but then life caught up and it's been back under it's cover since mid June....It's time, and I'm ready to see her find new open roads- the local shop thinks I'm crazy to let it go.
Below is the original listing-  Good Luck!

As much as I'd LOVE to keep her, I think it's time to let my gorgeous 1963 Ford Fairlane 500 go. I bought this mild custom completely restored, with visions of weekend cruises, showing it off at shows and generally driving it around proudly, but the reality is, 3 years later, it's seen maybe 100 road miles and the underside of a car cover in a private garage. I'm the 3rd owner I believe (owner before me bought it restored, and sold to me due to growing family. It's been in Maryland as far back as all owners recall.) It truly deserves more, so instead of paying to insure and store, it should go to someone that will take her out on sunny days, and proudly show her off like I did on those few rides.
Really- nothing mechanical wrong with it- I love this car- it was restored incredibly, and turns heads every time it's driven- awesome rumble, too....You'd be hard pressed to find one cleaner- with just enough potential to customize further on your own (I wanted to get the original stereo working again, and disc brakes for instance.) Receipts for all of previous owners work- they did all of it. Just under 77,000 miles (though no indication how many are on this newer 302 engine.)

Ford's last year with tail fins- Raven Black exterior with gold, cream interior (factory colors) and beautiful, Cragar SS wheels...It ALWAYS turns heads and gets compliments. 

Plenty of great photos available, and will answer questions as best I can, for not having done the restoration....

Thanks for looking- good luck!

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.

Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial

Wed, 28 May 2014

How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.
