Vehicle Description
One of the best-looking 2 door sedans of the '60s just got even
better. Here's a 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 that has undergone a
rotisserie restoration with stunning paint, overdrive transmission,
and a comfortable A/C interior to be the ultimate pro touring
machine. And oh yeah, did we mention the professionally-built 830
horsepower twin turbo V8?!?!
The upgrades to this 2 door sedan are subtle at first. The wide
chrome bumpers shine like mirrors; the headlights are
crystal-clear; the full-length trim looks like an unbroken line on
the super-straight sheetmetal; the jet-inspired taillights are
bright like afterburners; and there's a terrific application of
legendary Wimbledon White that takes advantage of modern clearcoat
depth. All of this makes for an impressive presentation on one the
best family-sized coupe designs ever to come from Detroit. But more
than just a fine presentation, those genuine Halibrand wheels
(extra-wide in the rear) and the lowered stance hint at all the
upgrades beneath the surface.
More of this incognito attitude awaits when you open the door. This
Fairlane was a labor of love, and so the owner spent plenty of time
and effort sourcing the right NOS parts to restore the Ivy Gold
interior. The result feels like a 1960s time capsule as you look at
the detail of the seats, door panels, headliner, carpeting, and
even the trunk. And this all still feels so fresh because there is
less than 3,000 miles on the car since this trek for the correct
components was completed. But this was a classic that he wanted to
spend real time in, and so there are also great upgrades like an
Alpine AM/FM/CD stereo and ice-cold R134a air conditioning. While
the steering wheel and the gauges have that perfect old-school
feel, upgrades like the auxiliary readout trio, TCI Thunder Stick
shifter, and shift light on the dash are all more hints at the
beast within.
When you lift the hood, the presentation is worth awards all on its
own. The super tidy setup lets you see the sleek painted
inner-fenders. Plus, painting the intake, air topper, and valve
covers to match the whole car will draw more attention than chrome
ever could. And beneath this show-stopping style is one of the best
power packages you'll ever find. It starts with a Dart 374
cubic-inch V8 block. Duffee Motorsports built this with AFR
aluminum heads, Accel fuel injection, headers, twin 59mm Garrett
turbos w/Turbonetics wastegates, and air to air intercooler. This
is rated at 830 horsepower on premium pump gas, and with the right
programming and fuel, this could be a 1,000+ hp sleeper! Something
this ferocious needs all the right supporting components. That's
why it's mated to more modern AOD-E four-speed automatic built by
FB Performance Transmission. This feeds a Currie 9-inch rear end
with limited slip and Daytona pinion. The suspension has been
seriously upgraded with '95 Mustang spindles, a thick sway bar, and
Tokico coilover shocks up front. The rear is a strong custom
three-link with adjustable QA1 coilovers. Plus, those wide Mickey
Thompson drag radials in the rear are the best kind of rubber you
want on this aggressive total package. But this beast is more than
just a raw power machine. You can easily tame it with features like
power steering and Baer four-wheel disc brakes.
The sale comes with build receipts, restoration photos, and owner's
manual. That way you can take everyone on this one-of-a-kind
Fairlane's unique transformation journey. It's an amazing 2 door
sedan where no detail was skipped. So if you're looking for the
best of everything, call today!
