1963 Ford Fairlane for sale. This car is in awesome condition. I purchased it a year ago from an older guy who took very good care of this car. I'll do my best to describe it.
Paint is in great condition. Painted a year ago and it shines nicely. The car was never taken back to be properly buffed. When it gets buffed, it is going to shine like glass. The gold paint has some metal flake in it. It looks really nice. The chrome is in really good shape. It does have some very, very light pitting that can easily be cleaned off. All the moldings and emblems are in good shape. Bumpers are in good shape. All doors open and shut perfectly and are aligned very well. Radio and Antenna work(AM only). All lights, wipers, and heat work. It has the original V8 - 260 Short Block engine. Engine was refreshed two years ago. 3 speed transmission. It has dual exhaust (Flow Masters). Sounds very aggressive for a small engine. I purchased an extra grille and light bezels that I will include with the car. Interior dome light works but the plastic dome is cracked. $15 on Ebay. Headliner and seats are in mint condition. Dash is mint, no cracks. Rear deck is mint. Door panels are mint. All windows are manual and work perfectly. Engine compartment is really nice. Car has no visible rust other than the light, and I mean very light surface rust and pitting on the chrome. Car has (I believe) 14" wheels and whitewall tires. It also has fender skirts.
I love this car but I cant really keep it. I have an 83 Cutlass and I am about to purchase a 63 Impala. Don't have the space. Cutlass is completely custom so this one must go. Car is in great shape for a 50 year old car! If it does not sell, I will place a set of 20" rims on it and drop a 302 High Output engine in it. Then i will play with it for a while.
Don't let this piece of American history pass you by!

Malcolm Gladwell reflects on engineering, recalls, and compromise
Thu, Apr 30 2015Journalist Malcolm Gladwell has made a career taking on big, complicated topics and humanizing them to make the unwieldy understandable. He has already done this in bestsellers like The Tipping Point and Outliers, and now he has brought the same approach to automotive recalls in a long piece for The New Yorker. The article titled The Engineer's Lament is framed around an interview with the former head of Ford's recall office about the famous Ford Pinto campaign where the position of the compact's fuel tank could cause it to explode in rear-end collisions. Plus, there are detours into Toyota's unintended acceleration cases and the General Motors ignition switch problem. While all the history is illuminating, the heart of the story comes from an examination at the thought process of engineers, and how their thinking differs from other professions. Gladwell comes off as sympathetic to auto engineers in this piece. While he admits that they often approach problems in a sterile way, the writer doesn't try point that out as a failing. It's merely a fact to be understood. The story itself is quite lengthy, but well worth a read if you have the time for an insiders view into how these recalls are assessed on the inside.
New autonomous testing ground in Michigan will help battle bad weather
Thu, Dec 14 2017If one of the big weaknesses of autonomous vehicles is their ability to navigate in the snow, consider this a trial by fire. The American Center for Mobility says it has opened its $110 million driverless car testing facility on the site of a former General Motors assembly plant in Michigan, with Toyota and auto supplier Visteon the first to begin testing this week. The ACM proving ground is a 500-acre site at historic Willow Run in Ypsilanti Township, near Ann Arbor. It's one of 10 sites designated by the U.S. Department of Transportation as pilot proving ground sites to test AV technologies. It features a variety of simulated environments to test driverless cars, including a 2.5-mile highway loop, two double overpasses, intersections, roundabouts and a 700-foot curved tunnel. It also opens just as the region experiences a series of snowstorms and the first frigid temperatures of the season. That ability to test autonomous vehicles in a wide variety of weather conditions is important, as autonomous vehicle sensors have struggled to handle cold, wet and snowy conditions. Google parent Alphabet in October said its Waymo division was expanding its winter testing operations to Michigan, making it the sixth state where it's testing its driverless car systems. In a Medium blog post, Waymo CEO John Krafcik wrote that "This type of testing will give us the opportunity to assess the way our sensors perform in wet, cold conditions. And it will also build on the advanced driving skills we've developed over the last eight years by teaching our cars how to handle things like skidding on icy, unplowed roads." Waymo also opened a development center in suburban Detroit in 2016, working with Fiat Chrysler to integrate its autonomous technology into Chrysler Pacifica hybrid minivans. Visteon began testing and validating its DriveCore autonomous driving platform to evaluate algorithms, vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure technology and other systems. Toyota used the facility Wednesday to begin orientation and driver training. ACM has so far secured $110 million to construct the first two phases from founders Ford, Hyundai America Technical Center, Toyota and Visteon, and says it expects to announce more investment soon.
