Upscale muscle at ford was always spelled fairlane. This 1967 ford fairlane 500 brings a mid-sized package with a serious punch under the hood in the form of a smooth-running 289. Doing battle with the chevy chevelle has hardened this fairlane 500 into a lean, mean street machine, and the traditional wimbledon white paint it wears suggests that it isn't going to live in anyone's shadow. The white paint is a bit subtle, which was probably the more mature fairlane's purpose and it has the hardware to back up the gentleman's express look. It's an older paint job, but a professional with a light touch could really make it sparkle in a big way. The fastback roofline was a big hit on the nascar circles, and the forward-canted headlights give it the illusion of motion even when it's standing still. A black vinyl roof was included when it was built and it's still on the car, and it's in very good condition with no warning signs underneath that would suggest that this car led a tough life. The simple black interior looks awesome with a combination of replacement and original components blending seamlessly together. There are also fairly recent carpets on the floor, door panels that give the fairlane an upscale look with their wood inserts, and a dash pad that hasn't been cooked by the sun. The original gauges amount to a speedometer and fuel gauge, and they show clear lenses and bright markings, with a handy warning stripe at about 70 mph, which was apparently too fast in ford's opinion. A column-mounted shifter makes this a true 6-passenger machine and those sitting in back will never feel slighted by the accommodations. Oh, and it comes with factory a/c that works and the original am radio is joined by an fm converter under the dash. As i mentioned, the c-code 289 under the hood is a terrific runner, smooth and unobtrusive but muscular enough to get it moving without working too hard. It's pretty original but very clean, showing ford blue paint on the air cleaner and engine itself, just how it would have been five decades ago. It starts easily and idles smoothly and that 2-barrel carburetor makes good torque and a great v8 burble from the fresh dual exhaust system. The c4 3-speed automatic transmission shifts cleanly a.
