This 1965 Ford Fairlane 500 has been boldly transformed into a Pro Street powerhouse, sporting a vivid Sizzling Crimson MICA finish, originally a Toyota color. Under the hood, it houses a potent 302 V8 engine paired with a robust top-loaded 4-speed manual transmission, featuring oversized input and output shafts. The car is designed for substantial horsepower, a reflection of its serious performance modifications.
The Fairlane's mechanical setup includes headers with an exhaust positioned in front of the rear wheels, and a suspension system consisting of coilovers all around complemented by a ladder bar and Panhard bar. It sits on a 2 x 3 frame that extends to the front, enhancing its structural integrity. The vehicle is equipped with 4-wheel drum brakes and new 3.89 rear gearing for better acceleration dynamics.
For safety and performance, it features a roll cage, racing harness, and 31-splined Moser axles. The drive shaft is a robust 4 inches with 1350 U-joints ensuring durability under high torque. The interior keeps to a minimalistic race-ready setup with no HVAC, front turn signals, or operational radio, emphasizing its focus on performance over comfort. Mileage is exempt, highlighting its primary use in performance rather than daily driving scenarios. This Fairlane is a standout build, ideal for someone looking to own a street-ready racer with a striking appearance and significant modifications.
