This car brings a smile to my face every time I get behind the wheel. It's shiny, torquey, and noisy. This flashy car GOES! If you want to stand out from the typical muscle-car crowd, this 1969 Fairlane is the answer. With a strong-running 351 cubic inch V8, it's the Blue Oval's answer to the ubiquitous Chevelles, Chargers, and GTOs. Better still, it's a bargain compared to its rivals and quite a bit rarer to boot! Garage kept for the last 25 years with no rust anywhere. Incredibly solid and ready for a new owner. I get approached all the time about this car. I can’t be in it for longer than 5 minutes without someone giving me a thumbs up or rolling down their window to yell, “Nice car!” Handsome and restrained compared to its fastback siblings, this Fairlane hardtop adds a bit of formality to the performance game. Beautiful custom metallic blue paint that shines from a mile away. (Original color was white, but car was taken down to bear metal and repainted.) Sitting on a matching set of 14" period correct Cragars. Under the hood is a 351 Windsor (period correct, but not original to the car) bored .030 over with less than 10,000 miles since rebuild. The car was just tuned up a couple months ago, so it starts easily and runs beautifully, with smooth torque that only vintage V8s seem to deliver. There's a 4 barrel carb sitting on top. The 3-speed transmission (moved off the column to the floor) shifts perfectly. Power steering, aftermarket front disc brakes, and the beefy 9-inch rear offer great highway cruising. Included, but not installed, are a slew of new and original parts: Original buckets seatsUncut lower dashBrand New Grant 3 Spoke Wood steering wheel with attachment kitBrand New Retrosound digital Bluetooth enabled radio with Sirius XM receiver includedImmaculate dash clockSpare dash pad with no cracksSpare uncut lower dashChrome trunk trimNew side reflectors for rear quarter panelsSpare taillights with housing and chrome trimNew chrome rear view mirrorA few small issues - the currently installed radio and cigarette lighter do not work, nor does the fuel gauge. Some minor paint scrapes and some cracking. The headlights can be a little finicky to get on at times and need tighter wiring. Exhaust has been making noise of late. All easy fixes that I simply have not had the time or budget for. Car could use a refresh to turn it into a show car (included parts will get you more than halfway there), but it's beautiful just the way it sits. This is just a fun, affordable Ford that delivers in all the ways that matter!
