Vehicle Description
Right here is something you don't see every day. This unique 1968
Ford Fairlane 500 fastback is one hell of a car, equipped with
4-wheel disc brakes and a great-sounding exhaust system. With only
71,850 believed to be original miles, this Fastback has plenty of
life left in it. This Fairlane has an incredibly unique
factory-code "Diamond Blue" paintjob, and while it may look white
in certain shades of light, it is actually a light-blue pastel
color. With that "Diamond Blue" paint spread over a sweet-looking
"Sports roof" fastback style, this '68 Fairlane really is
something! For 1968, the Ford Fairlane underwent a major restyling.
The Fairlane became longer and heavier than its predecessor, and
now looked much more like its corporate cousin, the Ford Galaxie.
This Fairlane is powered by a 302 C.I. V8 paired to a 2-barrel
carburetor, allowing the 302 to breathe well. The power from the
302 gets to the rear wheels through a 3-speed column-shifted
automatic transmission, allowing the power from the engine to
connect to the wheels nice and smoothly. It is its 1968 code
original engine and with just over 70,000 miles and 54 years on it
the motor does smoke and is burning some oil. It drives great down
the road and is a super cool cruising and rust free original
classic. The interior two-tone navy blue and light blue match the
exterior paint very well and the vinyl bench seats are very
comfortable, perfect for cruising. Options on this fantastic Ford
include working factory gauges, air conditioning, dual chrome
mirrors, power steering, power 4-wheel SBC disc brakes, an updated
AM/FM/Cassette stereo, and a dual exhaust system. This sweet 500
comes fitted with a great-looking set of Rocket Racing chrome
wheels on top of some nice Goodyear Eagle GT black wall tires. This
gleaming Ford is one sharp cruiser, and is waiting for the next
person to take it for a spin!
