Ford Fairlane 500 260 V8 1963
General description :
Description
This 1963 Ford Fairlane 500 has a true vintage style everywhere you look. It makes for a cool V8 hardtop classic that's also offered for quite a nice price.
This represents a time when Ford was in-between the post-war tailfin era and the brazen muscle cars. So the look has classic elements like the big chrome bumpers, intricate hardtop details, and jet-inspired taillights. But there just seems to be an added sleekness in design, that told you a new era was just around the corner. That's why this one has such an appealing total style. It has a clean and complete look, right down to the badging and full-length trim. The original white paint was traded in for a hue close to 1963's Silver Moss, but the finish today still has aged-in details that may make some people think it's the factory application. So, in total, this shows a special kind of classic in a highly authentic presentation.
While the Fairlane was positioned as the intermediate car in 1963, by today's standards it can comfortably fit plenty of family and friends across two wide rows of benches. There is a ton of vintage style here with the artful steering wheel, full gauge package, and a great pillar-less hardtop profile. Just like the exterior, the condition here prioritizes a classic feeling. In fact, the only upgrade you may recognize is the AM/FM/cassette radio. The value price leaves room in your budget for updating/upgrading/personalizing, but still, the white interior is a stylish choice against the exterior's minty green (and the color of the door tops and dash prove it.)
This was born an F-code coupe, and under the hood it still has the optional 260 cubic-inch V8. It has been given some upgrades, like the bright Ford valve covers, but overall, it retains the classic style we've seen throughout the rest of this car. It was even originally a Charlotte DSO car, and so nearly 60 years later, and it's still selling out of its home territory! This was built to be a cruiser, and so it has a three-speed automatic transmission and power steering. Plus, the wheel upgrade allows you to fit a nice set of modern and comfortable tires.
There's a great vintage style here that makes for an irresistible classic today and a great base for you to add your personal touches in the future. Call now!

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.
