Vehicle Description
The beauty of the Ford's Fairlane Fastbacks is irrefutable, with
their wind-cheating design and ultra-sleek, flowing bodylines. This
1968 Ford Fairlane 500 represents the peak of both style and
performance, wrapping up a 4-barreled V8 under the hood in
conjunction with one of the best car designs the 1960s had to
offer. Powered by a 302 C.I. V8 breathing through a 4-barrel
carburetor, this '68 Fairlane makes for one fantastic muscle
cruiser. Torque is put to the pavement through a smooth-shifting
3-speed automatic transmission allowing this car to do it all, from
highway cruising to simple trips around town. Arguably one of the
best designs of the '60s and only around for two model years from
'68 to '69, this '68 Fairlane is the real deal. The exterior is
gorgeously covered in the correct "Royal Maroon" paint, an older
repaint that's got a couple chips and some minor imperfections in
the clearcoat. However, that does nothing to detract from the fact
that this Fairlane is still a spectacular-looking car, with
gleaming chrome brightwork and those beautiful bodylines! In
addition, the floors, frame, trunk, and jambs are all rock-solid
and in fantastic shape! Opening the twin doors reveals a stunningly
original interior, complete with comfy black vinyl bench seats that
are in great condition and additional woodgrain trim for a dash of
luxury flair! Options on this beautiful '68 Fairlane include power
steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, a heater + defroster, a
vintage-style AM/FM digital radio, a chrome driver's mirror,
factory bullet-shaped gauges, and a sweet-sounding dual exhaust
system. The car rides on a gleaming set of 15" chrome American
Racing wheels over B.F. Goodrich RWL tires for an aggressive look
that's befitting of a true muscle cruiser. With that 302 under the
hood and the 3-speed automatic backing it up, this '68 Fairlane
runs and drives just wonderfully. With the breathtaking looks and
muscle-cruiser capability that this Fairlane brings to the table,
it's not going to be on the showroom floor for long, so don't let
it pass you by! We'd love to see it in your driveway.
