Ford Fairlane 260 V8 1963

Allmän beskrivning : VERY COOL PAINT W/ GHOST FLAMES, GREAT RUNNING 260 V8, 4 SPEED, PWR STEER, NICE!

With a smooth and torquey 260 under the hood, a 4-speed manual gearbox for fun, and a high-impact paint job, this 1963 Ford Fairlane 500 is an affordable way to get some Blue Oval power in your garage. The look screams performance and if you're a fan of Ford's mid-sized Fairlane, this is a great way to hang out at all the big car events without spending a ton of cash.
If you like the look of the purple paint, you'll be pleased with the workmanship that created it. Finish quality is pretty darned good, with smooth sheetmetal, good gaps, and decent surface prep before the paint went on. The Fairlane looks sleek with its sloping rear window, and there's a hint of 1950s cool with the small tail fins out back. You also get a taste of the Thunderbolt with a faux hood scoop up front and Ford's jet-inspired taillights are still the coolest of the era. You'll also find a few ghost flames around the body, all rendered in cool Mystic chromatic paint that changes color as you move around the car, a very neat touch that you don't see all that often. Most of the chrome and trim is original, yet it's in good shape, with only the front bumper needing a bit of elbow grease to polish it up. They also added hood pins, unique headlight covers that simulate the "cat's eye" lenses of the '30s, and a blacked-out grille that makes it look aggressive. This car definitely has a great look.
It's a little less radical inside, wearing black vinyl on a pair of bucket seats that are very nicely upholstered. There's also a full-sized rear seat for passengers, reminding us that Ford's mid-sized cars were big, comfortable cruisers as much as street brawlers. A center console houses a Hurst shifter for the 4-speed manual transmission and the original round gauges are big, bold, and clear. A modern steering wheel adds to the performance feel, but the rest is pure 1963 cool, including the chrome details surrounding the instrument panel, the sliding heater controls, and the nicely finished door panels. A Kenwood AM/FM/cassette stereo lives in the original AM radio's spot, feeding speakers stacked on top of the console. Embroidered floor mats protect the carpets and the trunk is fitted with correct mats, a full-sized spare, and a complete jack assembly.
Ford's 260 cubic inch V8 was a strong performer, even in the Fairlane, and this one has obviously had a lot of attention lavished upon it. The bright red engine is what Fords were wearing in the early '60s, but the blue Moroso valve covers and air cleaner give it a more traditional look, especially with the reproduction decal on the air cleaner lid. There's an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor underneath, plus a Weiand aluminum intake manifold, but that appears to be the extent of the modifications. A chrome alternator adds a bit of sparkle and it's nice to see power steering here, something you don't find on Fords of this vintage very often. The dual exhaust system uses glasspack-style mufflers for a great rumble that never gets annoying, and there's an oversized front sway bar to tighten up the handling. Air shocks on the 8-inch rear end allow you to fine-tune the ride height just the way you want it and Torque Thrust wheels and fat 205/60/15 BFG radials are an excellent choice.
An unusual heavy cruiser with decent firepower and an awesome interior. How can you go wrong with this cool Ford? Call now!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
