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.
A $500 down payment must be made within 48 hours. The remaining balance must be paid within 7 days after auction close. There will be an aditional $150 charge for the eBay fees so please take that into consideration when bidding. If a bidder uses the "buy it now" option The eBay fee charge wont be added.
Good luck and happy bidding!!!

Ford board pushing Mulally for decision amidst fears story is drowning out other news
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Automakers and their executives rarely like to divulge information regarding future goings on, but the board of directors at Ford sound like they're getting a little antsy about chief executive officer Alan Mulally and his plans for 2014.
According to Reuters, as news of Mulally's possible departure to Microsoft continues to swirl, Ford's board is looking to push the affable executive to make a decision about his future sooner rather than later. Apparently, the board is growing concerned that this will-he/won't-he drama may end up distracting the media from covering Ford's other big news events next year - items like the debut of key all-new products like the Mustang and F-150.
So far, the picture for Mulally's eventual successor remains fuzzy, but it's understood that the leading candidate remains the company's chief operating officer, Mark Fields. Just recently, we heard that Mulally will stay until the end of 2014, but a few months ago, Ford seemed open to the idea of him stepping down earlier than that.
Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
Hot sales have Detroit automakers shortening summer shutdowns
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Back in May, there was speculation that the Detroit Three automakers would maintain or perhaps even extend their traditional summer shutdowns, mostly due to a bitingly cold winter that saw below-freezing temperatures infiltrate the southernmost reaches of the US, putting a chill on auto sales. Now, though, the numbers are in, and thanks to some promising sales figures, it looks like some domestic line workers are going to be working clear through July, in some cases.
According to Automotive News, Ford has slashed its traditional two-week hiatus for factory workers in half at four of its plants, while both Chrysler and General Motors will keep factories running nonstop (two plants in Chrysler's case and a third of GM's factories).
This is, as we said, thanks to some positive numbers. Chief among those is the Seasonal Adjusted Annual Rate, which was at an eight-year high of 17 million units. Individual figures were less promising. GM, embroiled in its recall scandal, still saw a one-percent increase while Ford dropped six percent in year-over-year sales. Chrysler was the big winner, though, with a nine-percent jump in June.
