Vehicle Description
Ready to upset the sea of tri-five Chevy guys at the next cruise
night? Well, there's a new sheriff in town and he's a Wile-E
one.
Quite possibly the nicest Fairlane out there, this freshly built
restomod is ready to hit the streets and gather trophies. The
product of a 3-year professional build with 450 shakedown miles on
the clock, this '55 Ford is as fresh as they come. Muscle Car
Accessories of Taylorsville, NC receives the nod for the
outstanding workmanship.
The top-notch body work, precision aligned panels, and mile-deep
black paint draws you in from a distance and perfectly contrasts
the show quality bright work. Tons of labor hours and pride were
poured into paint prep on this one and the payoff is grand! But
even the best paint out there can be ruined by poor stance and
wheel choice, however that is far from the case here. The stellar
body of the stylish Fairlane is lowered and set perfectly over a
new set of 18" Billet Specialties wheels wrapped in Nitto 555 G2
rubber. Body modifications are sleek and subtle consisting of hood
bird, side mirror, and emblem removal and smoothed and tucked front
and rear bumpers.
The same sleek styling extends under the hood where a menacing 5.0L
Coyote V8 lays ready to pounce. A far cry from the old school iron
that once powered this '55, this cutting-edge all-aluminum power
plant puts out a reliable 435 horsepower thanks to electronic fuel
injection and Holley Terminator X management. Engine aside, the
engine compartment itself is a work of art! Smoothed firewall and
inner fenders are left uncongested by masterful hose and wire
routing. Low mount accessories hidden out of sight. And a slick
satin finish exudes style and class.
All this newfound power and style rides atop a completely new Fat
Man Fabrications boxed chassis sporting coil over shock suspension
and large anti-sway bars front and rear. The Wile-E V8 is harnessed
by an automatic 6 speed overdrive transmission coupled to a
heavy-duty Ford 9in rear axle. Turns are handled by power rack and
pinion steering, while stops come courtesy of Wilwood four-wheel
disc brakes. Inside, custom upholstered bucket seats take center
stage, while matching door panels, premium wool carpet, custom
headliner, and a custom designed and fabricated center console add
supporting roles. A keen eye will notice that a '56 Ford dashboard
has been seamlessly installed and fitted with modern Dakota Digital
VHX gauges. The driver maintains control with a leather wrapped
sport steering wheel coupled to a tilting column and maintains gear
with a modern Mustang shifter that looks right at home between the
seats. Vintage Air A/C and a modern Bluetooth ready stereo supply
creature comfort, and a matching custom upholstered trunk
compartment is ready to handle luggage.
Killer looks, sleek lines, modern Coyote power, and a cutting-edge
chassis make this extraordinary 1955 Ford Fairlane a true stand
out. Whether you are a die-hard Fairlane fan looking for modern
flair or simply hunting for a restomod of a different breed, this
is the car for you! We challenge you to find a more stylish
