One of the best-looking two-door sedans of the '60s just got even better. Here's a 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 with some Thunderbolt style and plenty of power all its own. So check out all the investments made for a sleek look and serious V8 muscle. The upgrades to this two-door sedan are subtle at first. The wide chrome bumpers shine like mirrors, there's extra polish in the grille, and the full-length trim looks like an unbroken line on... the super-straight sides. But then you also spot unmistakable signs of performance like the teardrop bulge of the Thunderbolt hood and the wide pipes of the side exhaust. And while you're admiring the shine of the American Racing Salt Flat style wheels, you'll also notice how much wider the rear rubber is. And then there's the paint. It has the look of Ford's Vintage Burgundy, but there's a metallic element that really shows off under the sunlight. As an interesting side note, this is originally a Wimbledon White car. Those who know Thunderbolts are aware they only came in Vintage Burgundy and Wimbledon White, so this one really does represent the history in an interesting way! The interior has a great vintage attitude. Subtle racers are all about having two wide benches, and you can tell they made a nice investment to keep this gold vinyl look so retro cool. Plus, headliner, carpeting, and intricate door panels also received attention to give you a great atmosphere. In fact, this one feels authentic, right down to the AM radio that's still cranking out tunes! But what you'll really love is this one's Saturday night racer vibe. It comes from having the classic steering wheel and classic gauges supplemented by a full auxiliary readout trio and a large Sun Super Tach prominently mounted on top of the dash. The engine bay has a terrific tidy look. And pieces like the ribbed air topper, polished tower supports, and Ford Racing valve covers all look like they're radiating power within the darkness. And this lives up to the performance image with a 408 cubic-inch stroker V8. It has been enhanced with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Super Victor intake, Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads, and long tube headers feeding the side exhaust. You even have nice supporting components everywhere from newer gaskets throughout the motor to an aluminum radiator to help keep the V8 running cool. The undercarriage looks quite fresh and you've also got trusty components like Ford's C4 three-speed automatic transmission and 9-inch rear end. Plus, front disc brakes and BF Goodrich gForce tires are great for control. Bright, powerful, and distinct, this is the Fairlane of your dreams. So don't miss out, call today!
