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 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.  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.

Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]

Mon, 20 May 2013

Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.

Ex-GM VP LaNeve takes over Lincoln ad agency

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Those of you that caught yesterday's op-ed about Lincoln will have heard already, but Mark LaNeve has taken the helm at Team Detroit. Once the North American vice president of sales, service and marketing for General Motors, LaNeve will now head up the agency that handles all of Ford advertising. LaNeve will also run the account for Lincoln. While at GM from 2001 to 2009, the exec oversaw ad campaigns like Cadillac's Breakthrough and sales initiatives like "Employee Pricing for Everyone."
He left in 2009 to join Allstate as chief marketing officer, oversaw the creation of the Mayhem ad spots and was moved into the role of VP of agency operations overseeing Allstate's 10,000 agents. He resigned from the insurer in February 2012 for personal reasons and joined Team Detroit in August 2012 as chief operating officer, in charge of satellite offices in New York and internationally. He replaces ex-CEO Cameron McNaughton, and will continue to hold the title of COO.
Lincoln is trying to get its 2013 back to rights after putting big dollar commercials for the 2013 MKZ on television then having production glitches preventing cars from getting to dealerships. With rumors of a relaunch in the works, it's no surprise LaNeve has been given the reins - and from here it looks like the brand is desperate for the kind of magic he's proved he can marshal. Perhaps he can start by calling a mulligan on the renaming exercise that gave us the hoary "Lincoln Motor Company" and go back to oh, say, "Lincoln." Then he can ask the product folks to get to work on the MKC concept...

What an Atlas-based Ford F-150 might look like

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Just ahead of January's Detroit Auto Show, surprising rumors pegged Ford as revealing some sort of F-150 concept, perhaps as a hurried effort to deflate some of the buzz building around General Motors' new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, which were also making their auto show debut. Those rumblings turned out to be true, as Ford rolled into the Motor City with its Atlas concept (inset, right), touting the truck's bold styling as a precursor to the next-generation F-Series.
The show truck featured all kinds of clever details, including active wheel shutters and a front air dam that raised and lowered to improve aerodynamics while preserving off-road ability. It also had a genuinely snarly face. And it's that pugnacious snout that may well be on its way to production. The good folks at TopSpeed have worked up the plausible-looking artist's rendering above by cross-referencing the Atlas concept with what little has been revealed from recent spy shots. The look is toned-down pretty dramatically from the concept truck, but its Atlas roots are clear, with a massive three-bar grille and bracket-shaped headlamps hiding a next-generation EcoBoost engine. In the rendering, the show truck's deeply contoured hood and roofline have been ditched and larger, more traditional side mirrors have been fitted - all likely concessions in the move to production sheetmetal.
While Ford has yet to officially announce when it will unveil the 2015 F-150, all signs point to next year's Detroit Auto Show - one year after the Atlas shrugged off GM's new pickups.
