A classic FoMoCo performance look and a bargain price make this 1964 Ford Fairlane hardtop a great opportunity. Its a small block 289 carand#44; and with a bucket seat interiorand#44; its a bit sportier than your average 60s cruiser. And at this priceand#44; you really have nothing to lose. If youre going racing in a 60s Fordand#44; you need to paint it Wimbledon White like this Fairlane. Its the quintessential Ford color and while this car isnt trying to be another Thunderbolt cloneand#44; its hard to miss the association when you see it in person. Were guessing the paint is either original or a very old repaintand#44; and its showing its age with a series of touch-ups that give it a reasonable overall look that is part of the affordable price tag. It doesnt look to have ever been rusty or banged upand#44; and the doors fit welland#44; as do the hood and trunkand#44; suggesting that perhaps it has never been fully disassembled. You could buy it today to enjoy and perhaps paint it someday in the futureand#44; but were guessing that youll be having too much fun to worry too much. Youll note that the side trim has inserts that match the interiorand#44; and Fords jet-inspired taillights always look great. We also like the trim at the base of the roof and the neat Fairlane script that makes it easy to identify. The tan interior is a nice change from red or blackand#44; and buckets in a Fairlane are rather rare. Like the bodyworkand#44; its a combination of original and replacement stuffand#44; but it looks decent overall. The biggest demerit might be the hole in the drivers seatand#44; but its on the side where its not terribly visible and if you need it fixedand#44; seat covers are relatively inexpensive. Theres some performance hardwareand#44; tooand#44; including a tach strapped on top of the dash and a slick Hurst shifter on a nice mini console in the middle. Factory gauges have white facesand#44; so they have a somewhat modern look in their cool individual binnaclesand#44; and theres an AM/FM/cassette stereo to replace the original AM unit. And as a full-sized carand#44; theres a big back seat with plenty of room for friends and family and its in quite good shape overall. You also get a truly massive trunk thats equipped with an original-style mat for a stock look. Any Ford with a 289 is going to be fun to driveand#44; and this Fairlane qualifies. The neatly dressed small block wears a big Holley 4-barrel up topand#44; an Edelbrock intake manifoldand#44; some chrome valve coversand#44; and Ford Blue paint on the block itselfand#44; so fans of 60s performance should see things that are familiar. It starts easily and runs welland#44; and its nice to see authentic details like the generator making electricity. The transmission is a 3-speed automatic feeding a 9-inch rear end (this is a full-sized Fordand#44; after all)and#44; and the exhaust uses glasspack-style mufflers to give it that authentic 60s soundtrack. The suspension remains largely stockand#44; so it has that comfortable big car ride and a set of Torque Thrust-style wheels with blackwall radials give it the perfect period performance look. This is not a show car or a trailer queenand#44; youve gathered that. But its got a cool old-school look and V8 power is always welcome. Call now! |
