  Hello, this auction is for a 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door sedan.  If you are wanting to build a Thunderbolt clone this is the exact car you need.  All of the original Thunderbolts were 2 door post cars with the deluxe 500 trim.  This car is very straight and with minor bodywork it could be painted.  The only real dent in the car is on the passenger side near the corner of the back bumper.  It is visible in the pictures. Currently this car runs and drives, it has a 289 2 barrel engine and a 3 speed manual transmission.  I bought this car from the second owner and it was sold new here in the central valley.  The car has no rust and no rust repair. Both the front and rear frame section show no signs of damage and on the underside of the car you can still see some of the original gold/silver paint.  The previous owner bought the car from the original owners estate in 2002, he did quite a bit of work to the car to make it roadworthy as it had been sitting in a carport since 1983. ( I still have 1 of the original black plates with the 1983 sticker and the dealers license plate frame). 

The work done to this car in 2002 by the previous owner is as follows:

1. Complete brake system rebuild.  All 4 wheel cylinders and the master cylinder were replaced.  In addition both the metal brake lines and the flex hoses were replaced.

2. 4 new Wheel Ventiques steel wheels were installed. The rears are 15x8 and the fronts are 15x7 both have reverse offset. New BFG TA radials were installed at this time too and the tread is still good but they do have some cracks. 

3.  Coolant was flushed and oil was changed in both the rear axle and the transmission.  Also the fuel tank was professionally cleaned. 

4.  Front and rear seat were reupholstered in tan cloth.

5.  The door jambs and the dash were repainted white.  Also the exterior of the car was primered.  When I got the car it was faded so I reprimed the car with PCL epoxy flat white primer.   

  Last week I rebuilt the carburetor, and replaced the fuel pump, the car runs well.  Included in the auction is the 4 original door panels with armrests ( The armrests are in good condition but during storage the door panels got wet so they are really only good for patterns) and a new heater core.  I also have the windshield wiper arms and the inside door handles and window cranks.  The original air cleaner is the only item missing.

Payment & Shipping: Cash and local pickup is always preferred.  If you are a long distance away I will be happy to work with you on shipping, however I would like the car to be picked up within 14 days of auction close.  A $250 deposit via PayPal is due within 48 hours of auction close.  If you don't use PayPal, please send me a message and I will be happy to work something else out with you. 

Trades: Like everything else I have for sale I would entertain a full or part trade. No pickups, motorcycles or cars newer then the 1970's.  

If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures of the car please feel free to e-mail or call 559-313-1454. Thanks Jeff.
