Vehicle Description
1965 Ford Fairlane Sport Coupe
In the mid 60s the term full-size meant "FULL"size and mid-sized
meant not as big, and that's where the Ford Fairlane fit into the
lineup. Not so big as to require a harbor pilot's license to guide
it down the street but big enough to put a few friends in it and
enjoy a drive-in movie. Not including those in the trunk. To spice
things up the powers that be at Ford created the Sport Coupe trim
package to compliment the sleek lines of the sheet metal which
included a full console with floor shift and bucket seats. This one
is powered by the correct C Code 200 horse 289 V-8 Engine and a
Cruise-O-Matic transmission with said console and floor shifter.
The true beauty of this one is the word "Original", Yes this is an
unrestored 2 owner car with 31000 miles and "the original" paint
and interior. Other than the typical wear items that you have to
replace just to keep it drive-able, such as brakes, hoses, belts,
the only alteration to original are the wheels and tires...oh yea
the lighted up cat in the rear window would be optional. This is
one is a nicely optioned with the original engine along with it
being in a great color combination. The 2 barrel 289 runs smooth
and has complete correct single exhaust system. Finished in correct
Rangoon Red with White roof and complimenting Red and White
interior it looks great too. We left this one original in that we
did not detail the engine bay or the underside. It isn't as pretty
under the hood as most we sell but we figured being a two owner
original car why mess with it.
