Equipment
302/220hp, automatic, hub caps and trim rings, Radial T/A tires, hood scoop, woodrim steering wheel, column shift, Philco radio, Stewart Warner electric and oil pressure gauges, 9" rear end, uninstalled Ford dealer A/C unit in the trunk.
Condition
Uneven hood gaps. Clean, straight like new roof vinyl. Very good recent paint and chrome. The original interior is so good that it was left alone during restoration. Very clean and restored underneath. A fresh, very well done car with new suspension front and rear. Like new, and a rarely seen late Fairlane 500.
Market commentary
'First, do no harm' should be a restorer's mantra and the work done on this Fairlane is a good example of putting it into effect. It's had just enough to give the owner pride of ownership without destroying much of its originality and if for that reason alone is a sound value.
