1963 Ford Fairlane 500

Selling my 1963 Ford Fairlane 500. This is a cool home-built hot rod. It originally came with a 260V8 that I removed and put in a 351 Windsor V8 and C4 Transmission about five years ago, but probably only have 2,000 miles on them. Like I said, this is a home -built hot rod. It is really cool, but NOT PERFECT. SELLING AS IS. NO REFUNDS or Guarantees! THIS IS A PERFECT HOBBY CAR! NOT SOMETHING I WOULD OWN AS A PRIMARY VEHICLE.
THIS IS FOR LOCAL PICK UP. OR YOU CAN ARRANGE A CAR TRANSPORT AND I WILL ASSIST IN BEING AVAILABLE FOR THE DRIVER.
I have listed the GOOD and BAD below:

Heater blower fan and assembly was taken apart, cleaned and painted. Works great.Clean California Title and was CHP inspected 3 years ago.New aviation seatbeltsMexican blanket interior (seats wrapped and headliner)THE BAD
I did a custom garage paint job about 7 seven years ago (Hot Rod Flat Black and Sour Apple Green Metallic). It looks really cool from about 5 feet away. THIS IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL PAINT JOB! There are nicks, minor cracks, and imperfections. Also, I only took the primer down to about 300 grit before painting it to give it a little texture. I think it looks cools and super flat. The green is gloss and clear coated and looks nice against the black.The windshield is LEXAN. It is clean for now, but has some scratches. I put it in about 3 years ago. It will probably need to be replaced with 1/8th inch Lexan in a couple years. You can't use the wipers in the rain with a Lexan windshield. If you want the car to be ALL-WEATHER, you will want to put in a glass windshield for approx $300The car drives great and is FAST. BUT, IT PULLS to the right some. I think it is because the fitment of the right spindle makes the performance disc brakes a little tight on the disc. This could be fixed with a little filing on the spindle mount or shaving the paint on the non-contact side of the brake pad. This is something I just never got around to tweaking with it. The fuel gauge does not work.This car runs cools until its about 90 degrees outside. I planned to replace the belt-driven fan with an electric fan, but haven't gotten around to it.The original radio worked when I bought it, but the speaker was blown. I unhooked it from the power and removed the speakerThe door locks need some work and the Driver Side Door latch needs to be replaced and/or realigned. It does close and stays closed, but it doesn't 'click' shut like the other doors.Rear seat belts are an aftermarket install using washers and bolts. I WOULD WELD A PLATE IN TO REINFORCE THEM IF YOU PLAN TO HAVE BACK SEAT RIDERS
