1963 Ford Fairlane 500 2-Door Hardtop V8 California Car, Rust free
Available for auction is a driver quality 1963 Ford Fairlane 500. This vehicle presents itself very well, in a
mostly original condition, rust free body and undercarriage and a tastefully
appointed interior, period correct for this classic. This vehicle is a pleasure to drive and a
great representation of Ford’s final year of sleek body style and fin era of
1963. Runs and drives great, shifts through all gears and the 4-wheel drum
brakes stop the car promptly. This
vehicle was a daily driver for many years, until its previous owner parked it. Always garage kept, which explains the
outstanding shape of all the chrome, body and under carriage. Recently fluids/filters were changed, the fuel
tank removed cleaned and serviced and the car is back on the road again. Interior The interior
looks outstanding with no tears in the seats, Gauge cluster is in great shape,
as well as all the dash components. The
dash pad is in great shape with one minor tear.
Door panels are in great shape, arm rests show some aging, but still
functional. The headliner is in driver
quality form, and has a few separations in the stitching, not hanging down, but
could get re-stitched in place from your local upholstery provider. The original steering wheel was replaced;
however the original steering wheel is in the trunk. All windows roll up and
down smooth, doors open and close solid. All interior lights are in working
order to include: dome light, under dash courtesy lights, gauge cluster lights,
headlight indicator on gauge cluster & turn signal indicator. The radio works well with and in dash cassette
player, but also is equipped with a multi- disc CD player in the trunk. Exterior All
following exterior lights are in working order: Headlights, taillights, brake
lights and turn signals. The paint
appears to be original; the original door tag is present along with the
original jacking instructions sticker still intact in the trunk. All chrome is present and in excellent
condition. The body is laser straight,
with minor imperfections of a few paint chips on the nose of the vehicle and infrequently
along the length of the car. Also
present are slight paint color variation in 3-4 spots (see video). The black section of the body line chrome is
in need of touch up, but again this vehicle is represented as a driver quality
classic, showing extremely well overall. Motor/Transmission The original
engine this Fairlane came stock from the factory with was a V8 221 cubic inch,
which unfortunately is no longer in the vehicle. However, it was replaced with a strong
running/powerful 302 at some point, prior to my ownership. The 302 is paired with an automatic
transmission that does have a small leak (4 drops over night). It shifts through all gears but may need
service from a transmission shop to remedy fluid loss issue. The engine compartment and motor are ultra
detailed, tastefully equipped with chrome valve covers, red painted 2 barrel
Ford stock intake manifold, stock 2 barrel carburetor, red painted water pump,
and exhaust manifolds to dual mufflers exiting at the rear of the car. The heater is functional and plumbed
accordingly. Undercarriage The
undercarriage of this Fairlane is solid. The frame rails/floor pans/torque
boxes have never seen a repair and are presented in original condition. Overall this is an outstanding vehicle that shows very well in the current condition. Offered in driver quality condition, this car would need very little to be a candidate for further restoration bringing it to excellent show stopper appearance, or drive it as is and enjoy the thumbs up as you cruise down the road. Being sold locally as well, this auction may end at any time. In person vehicle inspections are welcomed and encouraged as I may have missed minor details. I have described the condition/quality of the vehicle to the best of my ability. (See Video). The car is offered in as is condition with no warranty offered or implied. Buyer is responsible for shipping of the vehicle with a $500.00 non-refundable deposit paid via Pay pal within 24 hours of the close of auction. Please make contact within the first 24 hours after auction closes. The remaining balance is to be paid via cash in hand or wire transfer. I reserve the right to relist if no contact is made. Thank you for looking and happy bidding.

Ken Block walks you through his new 'Hoonigan Racing' HQ
Tue, 24 Jun 2014Ken Block seems like one hell of a nice guy. I ran into him at CES this past January, and he dropped the video games he was playing to chat with me for a while. His crew also recently gave our Steve Ewing a tour of the offices you're about to see on this video. Good guy to know.
As it turns out, they're some fairly cool new digs. Dubbed 'Hoonigan Racing Division HQ,' the office is open to Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST owners who attend the driving program offered out at Miller Motorsports Park. The very same program that Ewing reported on just recently.
Or, if you've no plans to buy an ST or travel to Utah any time soon, you can let Block show you around himself in this MTV Cribs-style video. With interior decorating that relies heavily on shipping containers and luxurious amenities like a ping pong table, 10 refrigerators and a bear(?), there's no lack of eye-candy in the driverly HQ. (Judging by Block's outfit, you'll probably not go thirsty if you're a Monster drinker, either.) Take the tour along with the Gymkhana master, below.

Ford Explorer Jackson Pollock Edition results in trip to hospital
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Among the many useful pieces of driving advice we've taken to heart over the years, "Safely secure all cargo" is etched pretty high on our personal stone tablets. We've had a couple of frustrating moments over the years (numerous wonky cupholders and too-tall lidded cups; a radar detector that released its suction cups and dashed itself below the dashboard, etc.), but never anything like the scene above.
These photos above come courtesy of the Washington State Patrol, and they show the unfortunate aftermath of a driver, his dog, and his Ford Explorer after it crashed near the town of Belfair last week. According to reports, the man was schlepping five-gallon containers of paint inside his vehicle when he was involved in an unexplained accident. It's not clear what triggered the crash, but the impromptu abstract painting covered the whole of the interior, including the driver and his faithful companion.
The man was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries, and his dog was cleaned and later taken to a humane society.
