1964 Ford Fairlane 500
Rare One Owner Since New 16,452 original miles 289ci V8 C-code engine 4- speed manual transmission Fender skirtsMotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this handsome and rarely seen early 60s Ford Fairlane 500. This is the true classic Ford enthusiast’s car, the previous owner even kept the original registration cards from the sixties! Finished in a dramatic, rich and code correct Rangoon Red over an exceptional black interior, this very special Fairlane shows extremely well with only minor imperfections visible upon close inspection. Both the front and rear bumpers fit nicely and compliment the body.
The Fairlane name was moved to Ford’s new intermediate, introduced for the 1962 model year, to bridge the gap between the compact Ford Falcon and the full-sized Galaxie. Like the Falcon, the Fairlane had a unibody frame, but the body incorporated an unusual feature Ford dubbed ‘torque boxes’, four boxed structures in the lower body structure designed to absorb road shock by moving slightly in the vertical plane. Suspension was a conventional short-long arm independent arrangement in front with Hotchkiss drive in the rear.
Inside, the vinyl black front split bench seat and rear bench seat all look great with no major signs of wear visible. The door panels and dashboard are matched to the exterior of the car and look fantastic. Paint and body are exceptional with no visible evidence of repair or damage that we could find.
This nicely presented one owner (with original registration cards from the sixties!) Ford Fairlane 500 features a 289 cid, 195hp (C-code)V8 engine with 2 barrel carburetor coupled to a 4-speed manual transmission making this one of the most unique finds one will find now or in the foreseeable future! One of the greatest aspects of the early muscle care era was the capability of these cars to be excellent daily drivers with smooth mild-mannered everyday driving, then with a few modifications, ready for the track at the drop of a hat…or flag! This has to one of the finest low mileage original Fairlanes available on the market today, do not miss out!
These C-code Fairlanes are becoming increasingly hard to find in such solid well kept condition, especially fitted with a 4-speed manual transmission from the factory. As Ford themselves said, “The 64 Fairlane has family-size room and sports-car feel” GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
Current mileage on the odometer is original and showing 16,452, it is sold as is on an actual mileage Pennsylvania title.
