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.

2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VIII

Fri, 17 May 2013

Now With More EcoBoost
There's an EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in there somewhere, and it's headed straight for Ugly Horse.
For the second time in my life, I'm staring at an engine in the back of a truck with no concept of how to get it safely into the garage by my lonesome. The first time this happened, I dragged home a $300 International 345 V8 in the back of my Scout Terra only to discover that the bounds of my manliness terminated well before my ability to muscle that 800-pound cast iron block out of the pickup bed.
