Vehicle Description
While the name 'Fairlane' might not immediately engender feelings
of intimidation, we can assure you that this 1965 Ford Fairlane
will change all of that. The '65 model year brought larger and
blockier lines to the sedan, which serves as the perfect foundation
to up the ante on this car's attitude. A full matte black repaint
and blacked-out 17-inch Mag 500 style wheels shod in modern
225/45R-17 front and 245/45R-17 rear low-profile rubber give this
car a presence that can be felt even through photographs.
Inside, we find an original-style interior covered in black vinyl
and cloth interior with a big bench seat for both driver and
passenger to share. A linear 120 mph speedo sits behind the classic
two-spoke steering wheel, while the push-button AM/FM stereo sits
on display and the floor-mounted shifter topped by an 8-ball knob
grabs your attention.
Under the hood, a tried-and-true 289 cubic-inch Ford V-8 is topped
with a single four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor and matching
Edelbrock intake. That power is routed through a modern five-speed
manual transmission before being sent off to the aforementioned
rear performance tires. While the burble of its true dual exhaust
is impressive, what you can't see is how impressively clean the
undercarriage of this car is despite being half a century old.
Highlights:
• Matte Black Repaint
• 17 inch Mag 500 Wheels
• Low Profile Rubber
• 289 CID V8
• Edelbrock Intake
• Edelbrock Carb
• New Radiator
• New Fan
• Five Speed Manual
• Dual Exhaust
• New Carpet
• Repainted Dash
This car has also been the beneficiary of new carpeting, a
repainted dash, a new radiator, a new fan, and the ever-important
tune-up. So, while the name 'Fairlane' might not immediately make
you think twice about looking in your rearview mirror, this
particular 1965 Ford Fairlane, with its imposing blacked-out fury,
will quickly make you, and everyone else, realize just how unfair
it is comparing it with any of those stock cars. Call today!
