Vehicle Description
The 1960 Ford Fairlane 500 was designed for style, but this custom
build adds in a ton of midnight attitude no one saw coming. This
gives you speedy flair with a performance-built fuel-injected V8,
four-on-the-floor, and racing bucket seats for everyone. But also
don't forget to look for the thoughtful upgrades, too, like the A/C
interior and overdrive.
This is a mean machine. So the black paint is sleek with a hint of
combat-ready attitude. And this midnight appearance is enhanced
with details like the black trim, grille, and even dark LED
headlights. They left hints of brightwork on the chrome bumpers and
the trim under the tailfins just so you can enjoy a touch of the
classic feeling. But the lightweight hood with power bulge and
Mickey Thompson tires on blackout short track wheels tell you this
was made for more than just cruising.
The interior is absolutely competition-ready. While you've seen
upgraded classics with modern front seats, rarely do you also see
the rear getting racing buckets, too! And everyone gets proper
four-point harnesses. Because this is a sizable coupe, the seating
upgrade has plenty of room. In fact, as you dig deeper you'll find
more great comfort upgrades. This includes an AM/FM digital tuner
with amplified speakers, and there's also cold-blowing R134a air
conditioning. But the best features you're going to love are what
makes this a driver-oriented package. You get a Hurst floor
shifter, Grant flat-bottom steering wheel, and a complete set of
white-faced gauges, including a large AutoMeter Phantom speedo and
tach.
When you have a vehicle that looks this mean, you want something
like this in the engine bay to back up all the attitude. It's a 390
cubic-inch block that the consignor states has been stroked to
whopping 450ci total. It's a fully-built package with Edelbrock
Performer aluminum heads, .700 lift cam, stainless roller tipped
rockers, oversized valves, oversized oil pan w/upgraded oiling
system, forged 10:1 pistons, and internally balanced with a steel
crankshaft. It's a monster motor package that's topped with dual
FI-Tech fuel injection modules...yes, two of them! And you can see
the motor even has the right supporting components, like a
high-output alternator, big serpentine belt system, MSD ignition,
and a Be Cool aluminum radiator w/electric fan. The header package
adds power while contributing to the rumble of the dual exhaust,
but any time you really want to bring the thunder, there are also
electronic cutouts. The close-ratio four-speed transmission gives
you complete control over the monster powerhouse. And this feeds a
stout Ford 9-inch rear with 31 spline axles, Detroit lockers,
traction bars, and 4.11 gears for power take-offs. And while this
is a full competition-ready package, it was also built to be quite
nice for more than just a racetrack. That's why you have power
steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and Gear Vendor
overdrive.
