Named for Henry Ford's historic estate, the Fairlane was Ford's mid-sized offering for 1963. With its jet-age styling, powerful Challenger engine and smooth ride, it helped pave the way for one of the grooviest, most legendary periods in Detroit's storied history.

My wife and I bought this hardtop sedan three years ago, and she's spent most of the time relaxing in our garage. While we've loved having her, we don't drive her enough and want to get her into the hands of someone who will appreciate her more. I bought her from a young medical student who used her as a daily driver and came from a family of vintage car enthusiasts. The original owner held onto her for more than 40 years and put very few miles on her-- as far as I know, the 73,800 miles on the odometer are accurate. I've barely put 2,000 on since 2010 and I've invested more than $5,000 at Mustangs Etc. in Van Nuys in getting her engine the way I want her and working on exterior and interior cosmetics. Here are some of the features that make her so cool:

- 260 cubic inch, V8 Challenger engine-- this was the one that paved the way for Ford's legendary, small-block power plant that spawned the pony car revolution.
- 73,800 original miles.
- Ford-o-Matic automatic transmission.
- 3 owner car
- original California black plate.
- still has the original, non-operational radio and a new Alpine under the dash with CD and iPod hookup.
- 14-inch wheels with full-moon hubcaps (I also have the original 13-inches with stock hubs.... and the fender skirts if you want to be extra-fancy).
- that oh-so-cool 60s styling-- the last year with the fins!
- all receipts for the repair work that I've had done since I bought her.
- clean title and registration just paid in August
- no need for a smog check
- no rust, no bondo, no shoddy repairs.

I've been procrastinating with the sale for a few months, because I want to find the right buyer-- if you think you'd be the right one, please make me an offer. Those local in the Los Angeles-area can also arrange to see or test drive her by calling or texting me at 213-290-4215. Thanks for your interest!

Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.

Fri, Jan 17 2020

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski and Assistant Editor Zac Palmer. They kick things off by talking about recent news, including the revival of the Hummer name as an electric pickup, revealing Ford Bronco spy shots and the unveiling of the 2021 GMC Yukon. Then Zac tells about his time in Las Vegas attending CES 2020. They talk about the cars they've been driving: a JCW-tuned Mini Clubman, the long-term Subaru Forester with its new gold wheels, a Volvo S60 PHEV that's been added to the long-term fleet, and a Camry Hybrid. Last, but not least, they help a listener decide how to spend his money on a sports car.

Some days at Autoblog are better than others. And in this episode, we talk about those days. Specifically, the days where we get to drive supercars. Mike Austin, Greg Migliore, and Alex Kierstein join up in this episode to talk about driving the McLaren 720S, Ford GT, and Porsche 911 GT3. We also drove some less-super, but still notable cars that we talk about at the top of the show. And as always, we play the game Spend My Money where we get to tell readers what we'd do if we were them. We had a lot of fun with this one, we hope you enjoy listening to it. The rundown is below. Remember, if you have a car-related question you'd like us to answer or you want buying advice of your very own, send a message or a voice memo to podcast at autoblog dot com. (If you record audio of a question with your phone and get it to us, you could hear your very own voice on the podcast. Neat, right?)
