Vehicle Description
The early 1960s were a great decade for automobiles. Most car
manufacturers were beginning to mass produce very reliable vehicles
and compete more directly with each other. Amongst these vehicles
was this 1962 Ford Fairlane. This Fords body design was made so
that it was roughly 16in longer than the Ford Falcon and about 12
inches shorter than the Galaxie. This was to bridge the gap between
the Falcon and Galaxie, and also to compete for GMs A Body Senior
Compacts. This Ford Fairlane has a 221 V8 engine, and this engine
was brand new for Ford in 1962. It was designed using thin wall
casting which made it 90lb lighter than the small block Chevy
engines. This Fairlane also has an Automatic Transmission, which
allows for easy driving, and a smooth ride. It has had a nut and
bolt restoration and looks as good as it did coming off the
assembly line. With very low mileage, only 30,585. It has a very
reasonable price of $23,988 and considering the condition of the
vehicle and how well it runs, it would be an excellent investment.
Not to mention the enjoyment you would receive from driving this
piece of Fords history!
