Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this
1963 Ford Fairlane 2-Door Hardtop, a bold classic finished in a
vibrant red exterior with a red and black interior. With its clean
early-60s Ford styling, custom paint, Boss-style painted stripes,
and functional Thunderbolt hood scoop with lightning decal, this
Fairlane has the kind of presence that grabs attention from every
angle.
Under the hood is a fresh 302 CID V8 build, with the provided
documentation noting new bearings, pistons, rings, a high-volume
oil pump, and a Howard's roller cam with hydraulic roller lifters.
Additional engine upgrades include ported aluminum heads with 2.02
intake and 1.65 exhaust valves, screw-in studs, guide plates, ARP
head bolts, billet aluminum roller rockers, chrome moly pushrods,
Ford aluminum valve covers, a Cloyes true roller dual timing chain,
Edelbrock Performer intake, Holley Sniper EFI with Hyperspark
distributor, K&N air filter, headers, and a remote-mounted oil
filter with oil cooler. Cooling support comes from a four-row
aluminum radiator, new water pump, new belts and hoses, and an
electric fan.
Backing the 302 is a 1965 BorgWarner close-ratio T10 4-speed manual
transmission with a short-throw Hurst shifter. The build sheet also
notes a new flywheel, clutch, and high-performance pressure plate.
Power is sent through an aluminum driveshaft to a Ford 9-inch rear
end with 3.73 gears. Traction bars, a Quickor rear sway bar, and a
new fuel tank with Holley electric fuel pump further support the
performance-minded setup.
This Fairlane is equipped with a Mustang II front end conversion
with power steering, helping make it more enjoyable to drive.
Power-assisted brakes with front disc brakes, drilled and slotted
rotors, and rear drum brakes help bring the car under control.
Adjustable front coilovers, chrome springs, polyurethane spring
bushings, and rear air shocks help give the car a confident stance
and ride. The look is completed with American Racing Torq Thrust II
chrome wheels wrapped in Nexen tires.
The exterior features custom paint, painted-in Boss-style stripes,
new chrome bumpers, straightened and hand-polished stainless trim,
a custom painted grille, LED headlights, upgraded LED taillights,
and good glass all around. A solid exhaust system with chrome
resonator tips gives the car the right sound to match its
aggressive appearance.
Inside, the red and black interior gives the cabin a bold and
sporty feel. Leather seats, new carpet with Dynamat, a full gauge
package with tachometer, Sunpro gauges, Auto Gage tachometer, AM/FM
radio, and Jensen speakers add comfort and usability while keeping
the driver-focused personality alive.
With its fresh 302 V8 build, Holley Sniper EFI, BorgWarner T10
4-speed, Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.73 gears, Mustang II front
suspension, power steering, front disc brakes, custom paint,
Thunderbolt hood scoop, American Racing wheels, Nexen tires, and
detailed build documentation, this 1963 Ford Fairlane blends
classic Ford style with a serious driver-focused performance
setup.
