Vehicle Description
1964 Ford Fairlane that is 95% finished however it is not driveable
at this time. All new paint inside and out. Really an excellent job
of it too, except for the trunk lid which has some fish eyes on it
but still looks good. Bumpers are new chrome. New windshield and
rubber, the rear glass isn't new but new rubber around it. All new
upholstery, including headliner. No rugs yet. Door panels are
reproduction correct. All side glass is original and perfect. I
restored and detailed the front suspension and added drilled and
slotted disc brakes front and back. The back ones have emergency
brakes. Floor pan underneath is detailed with Lizard Skin
treatment. Boyd Cottington mags, new, with bigs and littles tires.
The owner has pretty much everything to complete the car but there
are a few things that remain to be done. No driveline, no front
bumper parking lights, exhaust still needs to be done but it has
exhaust manifolds on the engine (easy task). Clutch and brake
assembly is detailed but not in car yet. Bell crank and frame pivot
ball are there. Wiring is all original and in good shape, not
brittle and mostly hooked up except for gauges. Lots of new parts
on and with the car. Running gear: The engine is a machine shop
built 390 cu in FE with a 69 heavy duty top loader 4 speed with
Hurst linkage. When owner got this car it had an ignition key and
oil pressure gauge on a small panel under the hood. Good engine
with all new inside. Edelbrock aluminum intake and Holley
carburetor. A little bit of wiring to finish up under the hood.
Clutch, flywheel, through out bearing all in there ready to run.
Rear end has 325 ratio and is a posi unit with Mosier axles 9' Ford
with the correct Thunderbolt ladder bars. You can finish it and
still make money if that's your intention. Or, keep an affordable
Thunderbolt in your collection. Some of the Thunderbolts people are
selling are 2 door hardtops or Fairlanes and not the 500 with the
stainless post.
