For sale is my 1963 Ford Fairlane 4-door project car. This car has been heavily modified, but is incomplete in its current state. Originally equipped with a 200ci 6 cylinder w/automatic, this car now has a newly built 347ci stroker motor and rebuilt 4-speed Top Loader transmission. This car runs, drives, and brakes at low speeds, but is incomplete and will require additional work (listed below) to be made roadworthy. The interior and exterior have remained mostly untouched since I bought the car, and could use some work as well. This car has spent most of its life in California, so it is mostly free of any deep rusting except where I have mentioned it. Includes some additional parts that you may need to complete this project. I have kept receipts for almost all of the parts on the car, as well as documentation for the aftermarket parts installed. Registered in California with a clean title and no back-fees (current non-operational status.)

A complete list of all the work done to the car is as follows:

Engine bay completely stripped, sandblasted, and coated with bedliner
All engine bay and front end parts sandblasted and painted black
Passenger side framerail and battery tray completely replaced where they had rusted out
Stock front suspension and steering rebuilt with new bushings and shocks
Lowered front and rear (1.5 coils cut in front, reversed 2 leafs in rear)
Scarebird front disk brake kit installed with Mustang rotors and Maverick master cylinder, brand new front lines and proportioning valve in rear
15" chrome smoothie wheels in front w/new tires, balanced

Engine & transmission specs:

347 Ford Stroker Motor (.030 over '78 block)
Probe/Coast High Performance rotating assembly (fully balanced)
10.5:1 compression ratio
Converted to roller valvetrain with Howard's Cams linked roller lifters
Comp Cams XE274HR Hydraulic Roller Camshaft
Scorpion 1.6 roller rockers
Trick Flow TFS170 Twisted Wedge cylinder heads
Summit intake manifold (RPM Air-Gap style)
ARP head bolts and main studs
Windage tray
Doug's Tri-Y headers
Aluminum radiator (2 row, 1" tubes)
Professional Products Powerfire distributor
Ford Racing plug wires
Summit 750CFM carburetor
Summit mechanical fuel pump
3/8" steel fuel line front to rear
Ford 1G alternator
New battery
Hydraulic clutch master & slave cylinder to replace mechanical linkage
Toploader 4 speed transmission with wide-ratio gearing, rebuilt with kit from Toploader Heaven

This car does have its share of problems, which I'll do my best to disclose to you here.

Externally, the clearcoat is flaking off, and there is some body filler that has cracked along the driver's side door. The exterior does have quite a bit of body filler in it, although exactly how much I can't be sure of. The interior does need to be redone, as well. The seats were reupholstered before, but the springs in the front seat are sagging. the carpet in it was replaced, but does not fit the area around the shifter anymore after the manual was swapped in. A plate also needs to be fabricated to fill the hole that has been cut in the floor around the shifter handle. The headliner is completely gone. The passenger side floorboard should probably be replaced, but doesn't have any holes in it yet.

The engine is untuned right now, and runs very rich. The hydraulic clutch slave cylinder currently leaks fluid, and so has to be bled and refilled every once in a while before driving it. There is one very slow leak coming from the transmission tailhousing gasket, and a small coolant leak around the heater hose outlet on the intake manifold. The brakes, while operational, most likely need to be adjusted as they do not work very well right now. The transmission should be shimmed to sit higher in the transmission tunnel, as it currently hangs slightly too low. Also, there is no exhaust at the moment, so it is extremely loud.

I've had the car up into 2nd gear on the street in its current condition. It's close to being roadworthy, but as you can see this is still very much a project, and will need to be towed away. I am selling it because it requires more attention than I can give it right now. While I've tried to list all the major issues with this car, there are many more that are either too small to mention, or I'm just not aware of, and for this reason the sale of this car is completely AS-IS. Ask as many questions as you need, and I'll do my best to answer them. I would encourage you to come look at it before placing a bid, if possible.

2017 Ford Super Duty trucks recalled because the fuel tank could fall off

Wed, Dec 21 2016

Bad news from Dearborn. Ford just announced a pair of recalls, including a particularly worrying flaw in the new F-Series Super Duty. According to Ford's official announcement, there are roughly 8,000 of its big trucks on the roads with a missing reinforcement bracket – if it's not there, the fuel tank could separate from the frame. Yes, Ford is basically saying the fuel tank could fall out. We don't need to explain why this would be a very bad thing. Fortunately, no owners have experienced said bad things Â– Ford claims it's unaware of any fires, injuries, or accidents resulting from the flaws. The Kentucky Truck Plant built the affected pickups between August 10 and September 17. The bulk of the vehicles are in the US Â– 7,103, to be precise. Another 964 are cruising around the frozen Canadian tundra, while two more are in "federalized territories." The other recall is smaller, but reaches across a broad swath of the Blue Oval's family vehicles. Ford says there are 1,352 Taurus sedans, Flex crossovers, Explorer SUVs Â– including the Police Interceptor Utility variant Â– and Lincoln MKTs equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that could catch fire. In this case, the danger isn't a detached fuel tank, but an "improperly brazed turbocharger oil supply tube" that could leak and spill engine oil on the turbocharger. Again, Ford isn't aware of any fires, accidents, or injuries due to the flaw. Here's the breakdown of manufacturer dates and location: 2016 Ford Taurus vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Oct. 18, 2016 to Nov. 2, 2016 2016-17 Ford Flex vehicles built at Oakville Assembly Plant, Oct. 18, 2016 to Nov. 10, 2016 2017 Ford Explorer vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Oct. 15, 2016 to Nov. 12, 2016 2017 Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant on Nov. 2, 2016 2016-17 Lincoln MKT vehicles built at Oakville Assembly Plant, Oct. 18, 2016 to Nov. 10, 2016 As with the Super Duty recall, most of the affected cars, crossovers, and SUVs are in the US market. There are 126 units in Canada and six in the same "federalized territories" mentioned above. In the case of both recalls, dealers will inspect the affected parts and replace or add them as necessary.

Ford builds two-millionth EcoBoost engine

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape.
Ford now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
Scroll down for Ford's full press release on this EcoBoost production milestone, including a breakdown of where all the engines were made.

2015 Ford Mustang production starts in Flat Rock

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

Today's the day, Ford fans. Production has officially commenced on the sixth-generation 2015 Mustang at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. As production ramps up, sales should kick off in the coming months.
The production news isn't just a bit deal for American fans. With the new Mustang getting a bespoke right-hand-drive variant, the pony car's worldwide availability has swollen to include 120 different countries, including its home nation.
"Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement. "Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience - one unlike any other."
