Description For more info. Please call. 918-284-5304 ask for Gene . My Husband bought the Fairlane for me Mothers Day 2009. Since then we have installed Kelsey Wheels, New Tires, Offy Intake, Edelbrock Carb, Procomp Electronic Distributor. All it needs is to be Painted. The Interior is Great, it was stored in Houston, TX. We bought it from a friend of My husbands. It had 38,600 miles when we bought it. It now has 39,953. The only reason we are selling it is because we found a little Mercedes, and we need the room in our shop. We are Members of the Headturners Car Club, Okmulgee, OK Only the rooflines were retained for the extensive 1965 facelift. The slight curvatures of the 1962-1964 body surfaces were replaced with more angular, straight-edged panels that showed a hint of a mid-body beltline kick-up. The new front end featured horizontal grille bars above a slimmer bumper; headlights were encased in rectangular bezels that matched body colors. Taillamps went from round to rectangular. Motor Trend mourned the fact that styling of the Fairlane was "so indiscriminate, because tasteful character could capitalize on the Indianapolis and [Shelby] Cobra alliance and make this the most desirable bread-and-butter car of the year." On the technical side, wheelbase was kicked up to an even 116 inches and 14-inch wheels became standard across the board. The 170-cubic-inch six and 260-cubic-inch V-8 were dropped. The 200-cube six, now rated at 120 horsepower, was the standard power plant. The top-end 289 V-8 was still pegged at 271 horsepower, but the two-barrel version of the same engine was hiked to an even 200 horsepower. In between was a new 225-horsepower 289 that featured a four-barrel carb and a 10.0:1 compression ratio. Fordomatic was banished from the options table, so Cruise-O-Matic became the sole automatic transmission choice. Even the high-perf V-8 could be ordered with it. Engine-saving overdrive was obtainable only with the tamest V-8. Where to go from here? The first-generation Fairlane was conceived as a new type of sensible family car. By the time work started on its successor, though, Ford was embarking on its "Total Performance" era. Reporting on the 1964 Chicago Auto Show, Automotive News quoted lacocca as saying performance was "really the only way to prove the capability of cars," and adding that Ford was "so deeply committed to performance and racing activities that we couldn't pull out gracefully even if we wanted to." http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3361805 Bing's Car on Car Domain The only dent in the body is where they bumped the trailer loading it. Passenger fender and door, you can see in picture. The back bumper has a dent in the middle where someone must have back into something years ago. The Kelsey Wheels are very hard to find, but are a great added feature. The car will be sold AS-IS. Can be driven home or shipped to your destination.
