Hey guys and gals for sale is my 1963 Ford
Fairlane 500. This is my daily driver that I'm looking to sell. Side note this car is going to be in the new Tim Burton movie called "Big eyes" They offered me a small part of driving the car through an intersection in a scene in little Italy in San Francisco.
On to the good stuff:
Fresh paint from macco about 2 years old (They actually did a great job!). The previous owner had it painted with the original color. It has an ATK remanufactured 302 motor swap. The motor came from an early 70's truck and runs strong. It sounds like it has a mild cam but I'm not sure what the previous owner did to the motor. Just replaced the generator, battery, starter, and the electrical box that controls everything (sorry I forget what it's called) the motor is backed by a C4 trans which shifts quick and smooth. The tires are brand new and purchased from Americas tire company theres a full size spare with stock rim in the trunk. There is no rust on the car at all, it is super solid no rust bubbles anywhere. I've been driving her for over a year everyday and haven't had any issues. I'm not sure what rear is in it but it has no issues smoking the tires and will get up and chirp going into 2nd. The exhaust is cut off at the rear seats and has a awesome deep hotrod sound. You can cruise the car all day at 75mph at 2,600rpm. It comes with the original air condition floor unit. It works but does not blow cold due to the AC compressor unit being removed for the motor swap. It has front bucket seats, original radio, all the gauges work, and has great chrome on the bumpers. The heater works as long with the windshield wipers and everything else. There is an after market cd player with aux input. There are no leaks in any of the seals and haven't seen any drips where I park it.
There really isn't any bad stuff with this car, just stuff that could use a little TLC but the car does not "need" it, it's just more cosmetic stuff. The speedo is off by about 10 miles but just needs the correct tooth speedo gear to fix. The previous owner kept the original speedo gear and put it into the C4 which is the reason it's not correct. The interior needs some help, the carpet and back bench needs to be redone but the door panels and headliner are in great shape. There is a ding in the rear right passenger door. The trunk needs a new lock, but it still opens and closes. The top rear left side of the bumper dips down a little bit but there is no cracks or anything in the chrome. The front shocks squeak and may need to be replaced but she still rides great and the rear seems fine. So that's pretty much it, everything that is "not so good" isn't anything that effects the cars drivability itself and is mostly small stuff that would be expected with a 50 year old car. I have a clear California title with the original black plates. All the glass is in perfect shape and the windows all work perfectly. You won't be disappointed with this car. If you have any questions feel free shoot me a message.
Shipping responsibility will be on the buyer. I recommend using uShip for the best rates. Feel free to come take a test drive if you're local.

Ford to spread all-wheel drive across performance range
Tue, Feb 10 2015Car and Driver took a closer look at the all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS, Ford reps having made "broad hints" about it being applied to other performance vehicles. One spokesperson even said that he "can see this as one of those technologies of the future." That would make sense because, as C/D notes, it couldn't have been an inexpensive job to engineer the torque-vectoring unit for the Focus – one that can send 70 percent of torque to the rear wheels, and send 100 percent of that portion to either wheel if needed. C/D also clues into the system's close similarity to the AWD unit in the recently updated Range Rover Evoque, which is manufactured by Sweden's GKN Driveline. In the Evoque, torque vectoring is brake based and two electronically controlled clutches turn the Range into a front-wheel-drive crossover under 22 miles per hour. Ford wouldn't comment on the GKN Driveline connection, or even if there is one. No matter where it might come from, more performance Fords are good for every enthusiast, and we do not look an AWD, torque-vectoring gift horse in the mouth.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
