Vehicle Description
Lot #160-1957 Ford Fairlane Supercharged 2-Door Club Sedan. This
Fairlane was built by long time Georgia Ford enthusiast and
collector, the late Wayne Blackwood, for his personal collection.
Wayne, from his drag racing days to his ownership of new Ford and
Lincoln dealerships, was known driving, owning, building, and
selling nothing but Ford products. He was known to "bleed Ford blue
if cut". Wayne sold his last "keepers" with us before he died last
year and our friend that has the Pinehurst, NC Collection bought
them both. Wayne owned this Fairlane for over 15 years and
supervised a complete no-expense-spared restoration/build to make
this car very special. The "Raven" black paint is nearly flawless
and shows as new on this laser straight body. Interior is finished
in correct grey cloth with correct trim. A 4-speed transmission is
coupled to the iconic 312 cubic inch "Thunderbird Special" V-8
engine. It has undergone a complete, and time consuming ,
professional build that includes ported and polished heads,
performance cam, a 347 "stroker" kit that was engineered and
designed specifically for this engine application to be
specifically used with the Paxton Supercharger. Wayne reportedly
invested over $90.000 in this unbelievable Ford. We understand why
this was one of his favorite cars. We also understand that this is
your opportunity to be the next owner of this piece of FoMoCo
history.
