time capsule
 

talk about one of fords muscle cars this is one of fords success stories. when they downsized the fairlane in 1962.well this is a 1963 fairlane 500 2 door sedan 260 v8 automatic that i picked up recently motor needs a overhaul but car is very solid and unmolested all the way down to the am radio and original spare tire.will post better pics when i get my new blackberry these are from the wifes cheap phone..what you all think?

Good find! The welds not on it yet?

may see what a set of draglites will look like on it in the am if weather holds and i dont leave out in the am.just kind of savoring this find for the moment.the gentleman even tossed in a 66 2 door falcon six banger that was in a barn out back but it has a bad tranny. i just went over all the engine parts everything is c3 exept rods and they are c2 which would have been a carry over from 62 castings. so all is good on keeping engine matched to the car even the generator.guess he just wanted this junk out of his way.lol the 260 is same engine as 289 just smaller bore.

Nice find(s). Not much on the look of 2dr post cars, but that's not too bad.

Very nice find!!
I'll give you a $100 dollars for it just as it sits. :jester:

How long has it been since some of u seen a new bumper jack? I seen the car today and wow! It looks new under the hood. And thd hub caps are pimp.

the first car i ever built a motor in was the same year and same motor. had fun with it. lol broke 2 rear ends and one tranny before the timing chain broke and the motor came apart. then we built a 302 and dropped in it shortly after brandon sold it:(

My Buddy in Albuquerque has a 63 Galaxie 2dr coupe. 352. Great cruiser. Love those FE motors. He wishes it was a fastback though.

changed wheels and better camera

Yep still a nice looking car. I think it looks better now. :D
