1968 Ford Fairlane 500 Fastback Automatic
1968 Ford Fairlane 500 (Fastback): Only 436 miles since restoration completedThis is an original 390-V-8 car with C-6 Automatic.
I originally intended to drag race the Fairlane, so I rebuilt/altered it (slightly) to the way I wanted it to be! I did not make many changes, seeking only to make the car lighter and easier to handle. Unfortunately, my current health (at 78+ years) pretty much ends that plan. The V.I.N. states that this car is a Fairlane 500. The GT parts you see were on the car when I bought it. I liked them, so I kept them on the car. All sheet metal is original except for the driver’s door. It was damaged and reworked, somewhere along the line. It was easier to replace it than rework a previous messed up repair.There was some rust in the usual areas, so that was repaired using a combination of new metal, some fiberglass, etc. The front floor pans were replaced using welded-in aftermarket panels. The car was “Nosed” and “Decked” (removed lettering), and the factory antenna was removed,all for a cleaner look (as was common in the 60’s).Body & Paint: The car was stripped to bare metal, (or to factory primer), including the under body, the “frame”, the engine bay, etc. Sub-frame connectors had been welded on before I bought the car.
