1960 Ford Fairlane 2 Door Club Sedan

Vehicle Description 1960 Ford Fairlane $29,995 "1960 Ford Fairlane 2 Door Club Sedan Modern drag races are started electronically by a system known as a Christmas tree. A common Christmas tree consists of a column of seven lights for each driver or lane, as well as a set of light beams across the track itself. Each side of the column of lights is the same; from the top down, there is a blue LED light set, then three amber bulbs, then a green bulb and a red bulb. The light beams are arranged with one set on the starting line, and another set 7 inches behind it. For consignment, a 1960 Ford Fairlane Club Sedan tribute drag car. It has more than just nice paint, beautiful metal thread embedded interior and those fabulous batwing chrome edge tail fins, it sports some serious power from the Holley tri power set up atop 390 cubes of acceleration and a Toploader to propel you down the what used to be the 1/4 mile. If that isn't enough for this 86,753 title verified mile example, then maybe the Thunderbolt air scoops for the front and beautifully applied Corinthian White paint will get your juices flowing. Let's drop the hanky vintage style! Exterior The car looks like the factory version with rust free steel side slabs, nifty angled front wheel wells, the cat eye glasses like front grille with a single headlight and the thunderbolt matching circumference air scoops just inside of the headlights. Let's go with a chromed intricate egg crate design and a nice wrap around bumper below. A mildly wrapped around front glass is at the back edge of the hood and then we go to the framed doors with stickered rear glass for the back passengers, loaded with advertising. The bullet styled front quarters have a nice chrome trimming running the gamut of the car and these eventually splay out and form the rear batwing horizontal tail fins. Just above is a more exaggerated wrap around rear glass floating just above the long and spacious trunk lid between the fins. This continues the drivers side dual stripe and sports more chromed F O R D badging on the downturn. Half crescent tail lights are just above a large rear perfectly chromed bumper which wraps around the rear quarters just a bit. Another swooped wheel well takes in the exaggerated styling of the front wells and this hold frames steel wheels wrapped in back with 28x12.50-15LT drag slicks and front 6.70-15 front rubber all black wall sides. Interior A swing of the doors reveals perfectly preserved two tone gray door panels with dark grey framing and lighter grey and even a hint of white panels forming the emulating the front quarter bullet styling. Shiny actuators and cranks reside in the lighter panels and these have angle stitched very slight tuck and roll accenting. Inside is the absolute early 60's bomb with ivory vinyl bolsters and stitched in metallic thread accented broadcloth with some tri colored square pattern tweed. White piping is edging all this material and the seat sits in a grey tub. The back is also excellent and looks just like the front bench. The dash is pretty much factory Ford with some oval stamped instruments peeking through aluminum panels for the speedo and other badged areas on either side. Below is a lineup in a black panel and lower is another halo oval aluminum panel for the keyhole and choke knob. An aftermarket tachometer is in the column, along with dual aftermarket gauges hanging below the dash on the driver's side. Nice textured pile charcoal gray carpeting covers the floors and in the center of the hump is a Hurst shifter with a white ball topper. All the dash is near perfection in medium gray and all full metal early 60's jacket so don't bump your head! Above is a perfect light gray headliner with stitched panels and a working dome light. Just dripping with 60's styling and just fab! Drivetrain Under the hood in an all buttoned up engine bay sits the 390ci chromed valve covered and supple hosed and wired mill that has a tri power Holley carb setup feeding it. On the back is a 4-speed manual Toploader and it pushes power rearward to a Ford 9 inch 3.90 geared pumpkin. Just clean as a whistle under this hood and plenty of noise from the cast iron headers and the glass pack style mufflers. Undercarriage Nary a hint of dirt for the steel are and all black rust free floor pans and framing is noted. Also I see independent coil springs for the front suspension which are 427 springs and a 1-inch lowered rear leaf spring suspension to give the car its racing rake. Drum braking is on all 4 corners. Very nice under the bottom of this racer. Drive-Ability She fired right up with a mighty roar and off to the test track where there was no fooling around with this 1960 gal. Fab acceleration, good handling and bias free panic stopping from the drums. All functions were working at the time of the test drive save for the wipers not wiping. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. A fine example of early nostalgic drag racing, found in NC and brought up to the north east and turned from NASCAR to DRAG tribute and all well performed. It did not have a long way to go as it was rust free when obtained and all the fixings were there just tweaked. Not perfect and ready to roll at the drop of the cloth or the 7 second wait for the lights on the tree to go green. Pop the clutch and have some vintage in your collection. 0N31W123116 0-1960 N-Norfolk, VA Assy Plant 31-Fairlane 2 Door Club Sedan W-292ci V8 2bbl 123116-Sequential Unit Number WARRANTY PLATE BODY 64F-Fairlane 2 Door Club Sedan COLOR M-Corinthian White TRIM 31-Gray Vinyl & Broadcloth DATE 27A-January 27th AXLE 1-Ford 9"" 3.56 TRANS 1-3 Speed Manual Classic Auto Mall is home to more than 1,000 classic and collectible vehicles for sale via consignment in a climate controlled 336,000-square foot showroom (that's more than 8 acres!).
