Up for sale is my 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 Sports Coupe.
I picked up this car a long time ago with plans to fix it up as a sleeper.
Unfortunately plans have changed and I have decided to sell it in hopes that someone out
there will have the motivation and appreciation to put this classic back together and enjoy it.
This Fairlane originally came with a 260 V8 and a 2 speed auto transmission.
It now has a early to mid 70's 302 V8 with a C4 auto.
The rear end is the stock 8 inch housing with a 3.55 locker differential. Car originally came with 3.00 open gears.
As far as history of the car goes, I only know of roughly the last 15-20 years! other then that I do not know much after that.
This car does run and drive. This car has a lot of juice when you lay into it and is pretty fast for what it is.
The engine runs fairly good, the carb could use a fine tuning.
The transmission shifts through all the gears fine but does leak fluid.
The brakes need work. Master cylinder is about toast, the car has drum brakes all around.
The mileage on the car is either 65k or 165k not sure, but assuming 165k. The drive train mileage is unknown.
In the past a Malory pointsless distributor and ignition system was installed along with a mild cam.
The Holley carb, edelbrock intake, and headers along with the rest of the exhaust was installed in the past as well.
All electrical works except the windshield wipers have stopped working.
The only things I have done to the car
Full tune up and changed all fluids (engine, trans, and rear end).
Overhauled the carburator.
Replaced the fuel pump.
Put on new rear air shocks.
Picked up a nice straight rear bumper that just needs to be rechromed.
As far as the body goes, I have not done one thing to it other than clean it up.
Things that are missing.
The door panels,
Rear hat tray.
Driver side window regulator,
Most of the lower console trim,
Trunk lock,
Unfortunately the rear window is missing.
Other than said items, it is all there.
This car is in decent shape for being 49 years old. It does have dings, rust ect.
It does have some rust in the floor boards but it is not too bad. They can be easily repaired.
Trunk pan has surface rust, no rot. Passenger fender has rust bubbling on the lower half.
Rear quarter panels do not have rot but the driver side has some slight bubbles starting.
Passenger side quarter panel has a little bit of filler like some one in the past did a repair on some dents.
Passenger fender was replaced sometime in the past, probably from past damage!
Some filler on the passenger side corner of the hood. Battery tray has rust of course.
Rest of the car looks and appears solid.
The trim and emblems are all there. Driver side fender "fairlane 500" emblem is missing a 0.
The paint is a cheap paint job done in the past (actually have the receipt)
The rims are rusty and the two front tires are shot. The rear tires are decent with a lot of tread but they are old.
This car is all around a decent car that is in need of some TLC.
Even though this car does run and drive, I am selling it as a project NOT a daily driver or pristine show car.
This car is a great starting platform for building back to original, thunderbolt clone, street rod, ect. the choice is yours.
The registration is years expired.
I DO hold a clean title in hand for this car.
This car is being sold AS-IS
I have tried to describe this car as accurately to the best of my knowledge.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
Why the 2015 Detroit Auto Show will be the best since The Crisis
Tue, Dec 30 2014The Detroit Auto Show clearly has its swagger back, and the 2015 edition will be a veritable feast for the enthusiast senses. We're talking serious performance, and it will be exhibited in a variety of forms. Sports cars. Supercars. Muscle-bound luxury cars. They're all set for splashy debuts in January in the Motor City. It's another signpost that companies have recovered from the global economic crisis that gripped the industry from 2008-09. For a while, automakers played it safe at Detroit and other shows. Environmentally friendly cars were important, especially for General Motors and Chrysler that were living on loans from Uncle Sam. Ford, Toyota and other companies generally focused on their best-selling or core models. With a few notable exceptions, recent auto shows have been a bit more buttoned-down than in the past. Boring probably isn't the right word, but austerity has been reality. That's changing. Car companies are making money. Sales are up. Aside from the many nagging recalls – and they are notable – the industry now has the time and energy to make performance cars a priority. That will be offered in hard evidence in Detroit. A year from now when we look back at this auto show, we'll sum it up with one word: Horsepower. But make no mistake, this isn't frivolous. Sports and luxury cars are expensive. They're profitable. They boost images and highlight strengths. With that in mind, here are five significant performance-oriented reveals to watch for when the show kicks off in less than two weeks. 2016 Acura NSX Acura's reborn NSX is a strong bet to earn plenty of votes for our Editors' Choice awards. It's one of the most anticipated – and strung-out – reveals of the year. Think back: we actually saw an NSX concept at the 2012 Detroit show, and Acura has spent the last three years teasing the car in a variety of ways. The slow burn, however, means we know a lot about the NSX. It's will use a mid-mounted twin-turbo hybrid powertrain and run with all-wheel drive. It will also wear an innovative zirconium e-coat paint, a new paint process that Honda says is more environmentally friendly. Honda has also said it will build the new NSX in Ohio, where a large part of the car's development work has been done. The original NSX was produced from 1990-2005 and helped establish Acura's performance credentials in the United States. It was a landmark car and a shot across the bow of Ferrari, Lamborghini and others.
