This vehicle presents itself very well, in a mostly original condition, rust free body and undercarriage with a tastefully appointed interior, period correct for this classic. Runs and drives great, shifts through all gears and the brakes stop the car promptly. This vehicle was a daily driver for many years, always garage kept, which explains the outstanding shape of all the chrome, body and under carriage. Recently fluids/filters were changed, and is driving just like it had in 1963 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. 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 variations in a few spots, the body is smooth and in excellent shape. 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 was replaced with a strong
running/powerful 302. The 302 is paired with a C4 automatic
transmission that does have a very small leak. The engine compartment and motor are ultra
detailed with 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.

Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years
Wed, 01 May 2013While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Building 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.
Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.
