This is a stunning Fairlane, body off frame restored. Very well equipped, genuine Thunderbird Special motor. It has some great upgrades neatly installed too: a/c, power disc brakes, electric wipers and more. It's set up too drive and look good doing it!
EXTERIOR: It is straight with no bubbling, damage or rust. The Raven Black paint is polished smooth and glossy. The chrome and trim have been replaced or restored and still looks great. It's decked out to the 9s. In back is a Continental kit with a painted cover and chrome ring. It also has dual mirrors, door handle guards, rear antenna, fender skirts, stone shields and bumper guards. It's riding on radial whitewall tires with the deluxe wire basket hubcaps. The windshield has been replaced. The weatherstrips and seals were replaced. Upgraded black canvas convertible power top. It even has blue dot taillights!

Nice looking dash, the metal is painted, chrome is nice. Upgraded quartz movement clock, it has an FM converter in the glovebox. Visors were replaced. It has seatbelts in front.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has the optional Thunderbird special 312 motor making 245 horsepower. Original "teapot" style 4 barrel carb and correct air cleaner. Correct valve covers labeled Thunderbird Special V-8. All the components look restored. Correct hoses and clamps, upgraded with an electric fan. Upgraded power disc brake system with dual reservoir master. The air conditioning is very neatly installed, you barely notice it's there. 1st year for a 12 Volt battery, it's secured properly and has a disconnect switch. Upgraded electric wipers. The metal surfaces are painted nicely.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It's rock solid and painted nicely. Correct white plaid mat, new well liner. Radial whitewall tire that's never been used on a black painted rim, it has the jack assembly.
UNDERSIDE: Body off frame restored about 10 to 15 years ago. The entire suspension and steering have been rebuilt. The brake system was redone, and it's upgraded with disc in front. Dual exhaust with glass pack mufflers and the tips go out right through the back bumper. Fuel system was replaced, it has a shiny gas tank. Looking up at the motor it's clean. It has a Cruise-o-matic transmission. The drive shaft was rebuilt. The floors appear to be all clean metal.
Conclusion: This Fairlane is one of the good ones. It sits right, runs right, looks right. Very nicely equipped including some nice upgrades.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
