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.

American automakers fall in latest Fortune 500 rankings

Fri, 10 May 2013

Not that it means anything beyond bragging rights, but if you're fixated on the positions of domestic automakers on the annual Fortune 500 list, both General Motors and Ford are still on it but they've slipped a couple of notches. The list ranks American companies and they're ordered solely by revenue. GM, fifth last year, came in seventh, while Ford fell from ninth to tenth even though both companies saw small gains in annual revenue.
GM's $152.3 billion in revenue was less than a third of that of the first company on the list: Wal-Mart, which regained the title from Exxon Mobil. Berkshire Hathaway and Apple are the firms that moved GM down. Ford, displaced by energy company Valero, had $134.3 billion in revenue.
On a side note, profitability isn't a factor, but both GM and Ford were down in this year's list compared to last year's: GM declined from $9.2 billion to $6.2 billion, Ford fell from $20.2 billion to $5.6 billion. If profits were included, Exxon Mobil would probably still be king: although the energy company made almost $20 billion less in revenue than Wal-Mart's $469.2 billion, it posted $44.9 billion in profit compared to Wal-Mart's $17 billion.

Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014



Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).

Ford driving Alaskan maniac rams toddler-carrying SUV

Mon, Jul 25 2016

A couple from Anchorage had a frightening traffic encounter when they were followed and repeatedly rammed by a stranger in a pickup truck. Grace Bernert, her boyfriend, and his two-year-old daughter were returning home from a trip to downtown Anchorage when they noticed a blue, 2001 Ford F-150 following closely behind them. "The guy was so close, we couldn't see his headlights," Bernert told KTVA. Bernert, who was riding shotgun, pulled out her phone to record the truck when it struck the rear end of their Acura SUV. That's when she called 911. Bernert's boyfriend tried to lose the F-150 in the Sullivan Arena parking lot, then drove to a local Ford dealer's parking lot where he drove through a maze of new Ford pickups in an attempt to shake their assailant. "We started doing circles around the brand new Fords because we thought the truck wouldn't be able to turn as fast as we would," said Bernert. "We were right, but the guy didn't care. He just kept hitting the new fords and backing up, coming after us." The truck continued to follow them, ramming the Acura again and again. Bernert estimates that F-150 driver struck their SUV between five and seven times, and hit numerous new trucks in the dealership parking lot. Eventually, they ducked into a nearby neighborhood where they managed to lose the F-150 and called 911. Bernert told KTVA that she believes they were targeted but doesn't know why. "The guy was either some random sick person who didn't care, or somebody who knew us and didn't care there was a kid in the car," she said. Anchorage Police arrived shortly after the couple escaped the F-150 and filed a report about the incident. They are currently investigating. Recent Video:
