The real deal here:
The Landau Coupe 2 Door (22715 made), body code 63B is rarer then the Coupe 2 Door (60,552 made) and just as rare as the convertibles (9198 made). Very popular seller in 1964.
Hagerty condition 4 value $6800 to condition 3 $12,200. Good luck finding any 55-57s to build out.
This car has minimal rust and is mechanically strong. The only rust I see is under the trunk lid. The engine was rebuilt by the previous owner before we bought the car at approx. 80k, and the transmission was installed at that time as well and has less than 1k on it. It's been garaged as evidenced by the tags but started right up with a fresh battery (included), we also changed out the starter solenoid and ignition switch, but it does need a relay to key start it. I don't expect the A/C works, but I haven't tried it. There are some minor issues, but you can figure it out, you'd want to be the one working on it anyway. It sounds and smells good. You would want to change all the fluids as well.
The body is pretty straight, as you can see by the pictures. It needs however, minor bondo, some pounding out and a good paint man.
Consider the hubcaps go for $100 each (spinner type, ruby center) and are rare, non-painted fender shields (after market) will also be included. The carpet is OEM with little to no wear, the front seats have been re-stuffed. The door panels are original and show it's 50 years of age, but they are original with the cardboard backing (you can't buy those anymore), only reproductions are available for purchase if you choose to do so. I wouldn't. I'm also including the shop manual.
This car is perfect if you can wrench and know a good body man.
The car is reasonably priced and sold in as is condition with no implied or un-implied warranties. Buyer is responsible for registration, transfer, and shipping fees/arrangements.
With all that said, I hope you can see the value in an unrestored classic for it's pure potential to carry on tradition and heritage from your generation to the next, it's an American tradition to fix up a car with your kid and this is the one you want to bridge your dad's generation to your kids generation , you can't put a price on that.

Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]
Tue, 11 Feb 2014A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.
Ford posts decade-best $2.1B profit in Q1 2013
Wed, 24 Apr 2013As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000.
Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year. Overall, this is Ford's 15th-consecutive profitable quarter.
The bad news from the European market was even worst in Q1 2013 than it was last year. Pretax losses of $462 million - on revenue of $6.7 billion - represented a year-over-year change of -$313 million. In South American, the company reported a loss of $218 million, down from a slim profit of $54 million in Q1 2012. The news was better for Ford Asia Pacific Africa, where a $6 million pretax profit in 2013 showed a year-over-year gain of some $101 million when compared to losses in 2012.

Mulally will stay close to Ford after he steps down, plans to advise Fields [w/video]
Fri, 27 Jun 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally has less than a week left in his role of leading the Blue Oval before he hands off duties to Mark Fields on July 1. It doesn't look like Mulally is going to be shuffling off into his retirement anytime soon, though. The 68-year-old is being rather secretive about his next move, but he tells Bloomberg in a recent interview that he plans to stay close to Ford. Also, if Fields wants to ask for any advice, Mulally is happy to help.
Mulally took over at Ford in 2006 and led the company through a seriously rough patch in the auto industry. According to Bloomberg, he became famous or his Thursday meetings where executives were forced to deal with any problems before they could leave. Since announcing his retirement from Ford in May, Mulally has been insuring a smooth transition of power by traveling the world to all of company's major locations and saying goodbye to employees and dealers.
In terms of the future at Ford, Mulally doesn't predict any big changes in management style because the rest of the executive team is staying in place. He believes that Fields is going to maintain the processes already in place to keep things going. After all, it seems to be working. The company is predicting a return to profitability in Europe next year and is opening 88 new dealers in China. If the business could get its recalls under control, things could get even better.
