1964 Ford Fairlane 500 Town Sedan 3-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE 

The 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 was a stylish and versatile mid-size offering that bridged the gap between Ford’s compact Falcon and full-size Galaxie. This model year featured clean, squared-off styling with subtle chrome accents and a wide grille, giving it a modern, understated look. The Fairlane 500 was available in multiple body styles, including sedans, hardtops, and wagons, making it a popular choice for families and performance-minded drivers alike.

Equipped with a factory 260ci V8 engine and a three-speed manual transmission, this Fairlane 500 delivers a taste of performance in a practical package. Finished in its factory-correct mint green over a turquoise interior, this 1964 example is said to have been kept in storage from 1988-2024. The seller purchased the car in 2024 and performed servicing including replacing the motor mounts, suspension components, and the fuel pump and filter to wake this car from its near four-decade rest.

This manual-transmission Fairlane Town Sedan is now offered with recent service receipts, documentation from prior ownership, and a clean Missouri title in the seller’s name.
