Details

This 1969 Ford Fairlane 500 is powered by a replacement 351ci V8 Windsor motor and backed by a five-speed Tremec manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. This modified two-door coupe was refinished in yellow and is accompanied by black leather upholstery. Modifications to this Fairlane include leaf-spring traction bars, AC, custom interior, Dynomax mufflers, Hurst shifter, and Wilwood brakes. Additional modifications are listed below. The odometer reads 77,515 miles; however, the motor is not the original, therefore, the true mileage is unknown. The current owner believes the car has had three owners, and it is presently located in Gulfport, Florida.

Inspection and photos of the car were all performed by a third party and verify the quality condition of the vehicle. The inspection does note some flaws in the paint on the drivers door and mirror, as well as some light wear on the drivers seat. Mechanically the owner reports the car to be in proper running order, including the addition of AC. This example of a Fairlane is well-represented by the photos. Included in the sale of this car are one set of keys and an owners manual.

This Ford Fairlane 500 is being sold through a CLASSIC.COM Pro and is located in Gulfport, Florida.

About the model

The sixth generation of sixth generation Ford Fairlane debuted for the 1968 model year. As was updated styling, the sixth generation was larger than its predecessor, although the wheelbase remained unchanged. Alongside the hardtop, convertible, and sedan variants, a new two-door fastback body style was introduced. These cars were powered by a standard inline-six engine and were available with a wide range of optional V8 engines. Production of the sixth generation ended in 1969 when the Seventh Generation Ford Fairlane was unveiled.
