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.

Ford brings FPV Falcon production in house [w/video]
Thu, 21 Feb 2013For the first time since 1976, Ford of Australia is bringing the assembly of its stonking Ford Performance Vehicle line back in-house to the company's Broadmeadows and Geelong facilities. That's a point of pride for FPV, which builds high-performance versions of the Australian Falcon model like the F6, GS and the heroic GT seen here.
In the video below, we hear FPV employees talking in hushed tones about the important legacy that cars like the GT have for Australian gearheads of all stripes, and how proud they are to say that hand-built machines like this GT R-Spec with its Boss 355 engine are now rolling out of their home base. For our part, we're just dying to drive this version of the Coyote V8; the engine is rocking a "Miami" supercharger from Harrop and makes some 450 horsepower.
Continue on below for the video, or you can check out some images of the new FPV at the facility, as well as a gallery of the GT R-Spec car.
Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery
Sun, 08 Jun 2014After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.
