Ford Fairlane 500 351 Windsor V8 1963
General description :
Description
This 1963 Ford Fairlane 500 has a true rat rod style, right down to the texture of the flat black paint. But take a moment to go a bit deeper. Not only do you get the upgrade in V8 power that you'd expect on a street machine, but also there are some unexpected luxuries, like a modern Bluetooth stereo and cold A/C. Now you understand that this one wants to look mean, but it also never wants to put you in the penalty box.
This car has a serious attitude you can instantly see from the first impression. The hot rod flat black has a textured look like it was just added so that this one could go out a be a Saturday Night Special. But even with this street machine attitude, you still see what makes these Fairlane 500s classically attractive with the full-length trim, jet-inspired taillights, and formal roof treatment. It's a very complete presentation, so you may very well be thinking about how the price leave room in the budget for a respray. But we really like this one the way it already is. It displays a cool street-ready attitude, right down to the competition-style American Racing Torq Thrust wheels with an aggressive stance staggered at 14/15 inches front/rear.
The interior continues the rad rod presentation, but with a bit more thoughtfulness. You see it in details like the way the southwest-style blanket covering the rear seats coordinates with the updated carpeting. Up front, you have high-back bucket seats for added comfort. There are even thoughtful additions, like an AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth and air conditioning blowing cold with modern R134a. Of course, this car's priority is performance. That's why you have a grippy three-spoke sports steering wheel, an upgraded SunPro gauge package, and a TCI floor shifter.
Under the hood is Ford's famously hardy 351 cubic-inch Windsor V8. It has the right performance upgrades, like a Summit Racing 600 CFM four-barrel carburetor, Weiand intake, and headers feeding the dual exhaust. There are also the right supporting components, too. This includes a new distributor with new Taylor wires, new gas tank/fuel system, and a large aluminum radiator. It's a powerful package that starts eagerly and runs strong. This makes it easy to enjoy this Ford. That's also why you have a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes.
This Fairlane 500 has a cool street-eating look, and plenty of worthwhile upgrades you never expected. It makes for a secretly rewarding classic you need to get your hands on right now. Call today!!!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
