I love that you aren’t scared to do the carb or even heads. Lots of other channels get it half running and call it a day, but you guys seem to get it actually fixed

I envy the time you get with your father. Mine passed away before I was a mature enough adult to appreciate it. Thanks for the videos!

The Fairlane was my dad's demo in 1962. A great little rig that was air conditioned. Thanks for a look back to my childhood

I grew up during the 60's so watching you and your Dad bring these cars back to life is right up my alley!!! Love it!!!

This video brought back the memory of my youth. My parents bought a brand new 1962 Fairlane 500 with the in-line 6. It was black with a red/white interior. We loved it! I'll never forget it. There's a special place in my heart for that car. Thanks, guys!

GREAT FIND...THOSE .RATS AND MICE ,, WOW!! GREAT JOB GETTING THIS CAR GOING!!! THANK'S..

You and your dad are kinda guys I wish I grew up with I'd love to rescue cars and put back on the road. Keep up the good work your channel is one of my absolute favs

Can't wait to see it out on the road.

My second car was 62 FAIRLANE 302 in 1974, bought it for 300.00 bucks.Drove it home in Falls Church Virginia. CLEAN CAR.

That car is straight like an arrow! Beautiful car!

My sister had a 63 Fairlane 500 2 door sedan with a 289 V8. It moved right long. It had a sad end, but the drivetrain lived on.

Man that's takes me back. Was my first car in highschool. Learned a lot with that old girl.

There’s something about a rebuild that nothing else can compare to. After getting it all back together and seeing and hearing that engine come alive- what a rush!!!! Satisfaction, for sure. Love these old cars. Good vid. Thanx!👍🇺🇸❤️

I appreciate your "educated" approach to get a barn find started, unlike most of hacks on U-tube.

I know they like to do a separate video on cleaning the cars but I would at least clean the front where they are working to stop all that 29 year old crud getting on their clothes as they lean over to work on the engine.

Best thing about your videos is that they are long. It’s a joy to watch

Another great video. These were the cars I grew up with! I'm older than your dad. The 221 was a very high winding engine, larger bore short stroke. It was an easy 6k, 6500 rpm engine (according to the Western Auto tach). One of my teenage buddies had the same car (gray with beige interior) with 3 on the column. 60mph in first gear all day long...lol. It a was shocker for some of the Chevy II drivers, they couldn't believe they were looking at our tail lights!

The 221 didn’t seem to get a lot of attention, at least from what I recall from old magazines of the period I was reading in the 80s. I don’t recall ever seeing anything about it being modified. Then again, when Carroll Shelby acquired a couple of the “new” thin-wall Ford V 8s and had them shipped to AC cars in England to test in prototypes that became the Cobra, were they 221s or 260s? Everything I’ve read seems to gloss over and, of course the chassis and bodies were then shipped to LA where 260s were installed and the legend was thus “born.” If exterior dimensions are the same, shouldn’t be any problems with 260/289 manifolds and other parts fitting a 221. Then again, I don’t know much about them because by the time I was getting into cars in the mid-late 70s, they weren’t even mentioned.

It sure good to see a nice looking ford in good hands, am amazed

Really looking forward to see what’s making that noise and the clean up!

Wow, talk about a fun trip down memory lane!!

Yeah that’s the bad part about barn finds, finding whatever else lived in the barn/car. Good find 👍

That clater sounds like a fractered flexi plate behind the torque converter ,gearbox out .Great program love the show.

You’re ‘living MY dream’! What fun and an awesome episode.

Hooray! Looking forward to sleuthing out that noise.

This is going to be a great rescue for you and your dad 👍👍👍

I really like the Ford you guys found in that place 😮

Please keep us posted

It’s a beautiful car..!!! Meeting from México 🇲🇽

No! you should not have put a 302 in it…you guys are doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing. This is the content we love to see. Really like to watch the resurrection and preservation of the vehicle at hand. Fabulous job! Godspeed. Rob

Superb episode! I really love and respect the way you work on these rigs. I mean, if you're gonna buy the car, go through the trouble of bringing it back the right way - and you endeavor to do this in every rescue. Whether you keep it or flip it, it went through your hands, and you want it leaving your care better than the way you found it. Those heads looked fantastic when done. Just a satisfying episode. Cheers to you both!!!

I have a 62 Mercury Meteor with a 221. I've gotten a number of parts for my Meteor by buying Fairlane parts. Some people don't know they are cousins in several ways.

Never give up 👍 Looking forward for the next part on it 👍

You Have to do another Video on the Fairlane! I NEED to know what that Knock is!

I had a 1962 Fairlane like that one with the 221 engine in it. Mine was a 4door with 3 on the column. It was a great little car.It was gave to me by my dad and he helped me fix anything that it needed. They only made just around a thousand of those engines. My StepDad could fix any problem with any car until they started with computers. We rebuild several trucks. A 1950 Dodge and Ford and he never let anyone under the hood of his cars and got upset if we didn't ask him first when it came to our cars Those were some good times. He passed away afew years ago. But I had that old 62 until 2014. All I have left now is a 1971 V W Bug.I do all my own work on it. I've had it for 32 years now. I love what you guys do. Mary Hayes from North Carolina

Loved this, I have my Great Aunts 62 Fairlane 500 Tudor 221 auto with 47K original miles, paint and interior. It got a write up in Hemmings Classic Car Magazine May 2017 issue. Absolute joy to drive ! I always enjoy seeing peoples faces when I tell them it's a 221 V8 !

My first car was a 1962 Fairlane 500, 4-door sedan with the 260 engine and three on the tree - purchased in the fall of 1971. In a short time I had to have the clutch replaced, put a new fuel pump in it, a new generator and had to have the carburetor rebuilt. Even with all that it wouldn't start in the morning and I had to roll it down the hill and pop the clutch to get running. Near the end of my unpleasant experience with this car the driveshaft began grinding against the underside of the tunnel and I finally said "enough". This was a treat to watch you get this thing running... I subscribed and can't wait to see the end result. Certainly brought back some (unpleasant) memories.

Love the 62-4 Fairlanes! The true start of the muscle era, the beginning of the 289 Hi-Po K Codes, the end of the space-race wing'd era, and the test bed of what the Mustang might be all while remaining under the radar of most big dollar collectors.. unfortunately for folks in the USA, Australians and Germans have been importing them as fast as they can find them marking some serious price jumps as of late.

Great video, I had a 1960 Falcon, bought it for $100 in 1968, , got a used 221 from a scrapyard for $25, another $50 for a T10 4 speed, and another $50 for a V8 rear end. Used to race it at Lion's Drag strip in California, it would do a consistent 17 second quarter mile.

Love them old Fords

My parents bought a brand new 62 Ford Fairlane 500 4dr, 6 cylinder, medium blue, cloth seats, auto, seat belts, back up lights and dog dish hubcaps, great car, we sold it in Syracuse in 68. Thanks for the memories!!!!

Big respect to those that can rip a cab off, and rebuild it on the spot! I owned two of these in my time, albeit I believe both where 1963 versions. Rebuilt one engine, bought the rebuild parts for a 289, but eventually found it was a 260 ci engine. Great runners, and found them to be useful 'get to work' vehicles! Then moved on to a '67 Chevy Nova, with the 327 4 speed (wish I still had it) as it was a powerhouse for it's time...loved the car! Mainly had pickup trucks after that, but the Nova, and my '57 Chev 2 dr. hard top with it's 283 has left some wonderful memories as well.

Thanks for the great videos and for taking us through each step. Great to see how you and your Dad are able to spend so much time together. My father passed away 12 years ago but some of my favorite memories are working on cars together. God Bless

I love your "will it run" videos! Keep up the good work!

my cousin's dad bought that exact car brand new, same color, interior, wheels it is exactly the same car, he inherited it when his dad passed away, and he is restoring it back to original, he loves the car

Get that thing fixed, disassemble and diagnose the problem and make it happen. Do IT!.. I wanna see a road trip..

Thank you for making a very educational video. Thank you for making a video without every swear word in the book. Thank you for your patience and teamwork and overflowing joy for what you do.

had a 221 in a mercury meteor, it's still fairly easy to find parts for. ah back in the day when cars were easy to work on lol.

That is cooler than the other side of the pillow! Congrats - nice find for sure. 221 cui the early Cobras had the 260cui. Don't throw away the filter if it is embossed with Motorcraft on it. If the plug wires are dated original Keep them as well.

Your channel and mustie1 have taught me so much about bringing cars back…… thank you for the education experience….

Love the fairlane! A 302 , 4 speed swap would be great! Keep the patina!

That block can be bored and stroked to a 289 or 302.

Back in the day a valve job was considered to be part of the regular maintenance of a car. We used to have one of those lapping tools that was nothing more than a fancy looking wood dowel with a suction cup on either end. You'd stick it to the valve and use some sort of rubbing compound, then roll that spindle back 'n forth with your hands, like you were shaping plumber's putty. That Flitz is good stuff. I use it to clean up tarnished brass on old radios.

I like that car it really looks in good shape. Keep up the great work you're helping people learn thanks

Another amazing save, I love this body style!

I love all the will it start videos man I've got 3 classics myself a 51 Buick special and a 53 Buick super and a 64 mercury Monterey convertible keep them coming guys !!!!

My first car was a 1963 Ford Fairlane 260 V8 with a 2 speed transmission. This car is similar. Cool stuff.

All cars ever bought were awesome challenges until they finally died of worn out parts and were no longer viable and was told it would never run and then all the doubters wanted a ride in the unfixable piece of junk .love your work man.

You can see that the torque converter bolts are loose I hope you see that before you pull the base off.

I had a 63 compact fairlane back in the late 80s 260 v8 black with red interior it was so nice

I love these little cars. We have a blue one I see around town.

Hi Guys, I love the old cars especially the fords keep searching for them 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

17:00 “How do you take a picture” “Hang on” This had me dying 😂 love you guys a ton!

Can't beat Michael's videos he gets the job done that's for sure!! Much love as always

Yes I can't wait to see all cleaned up. It does sound like it is something simple and nothing serious.

I’m from the UK and have a 62. Great to see a little love for these often overlooked great cars. Keep up the good work and great channel. 👍

Well onlist it started! Hopefully is nothing serious with that nocking! Great job getting her started though.👌😎👍

Just found you. Excellent will it Run. Glad you clean it up first.

I love that you regularly go the extra mile Instead of starter fluid and crank like so many idiots

MY MOM AND DAD BOUGHT A 63 260 V8 NEW BLACK WITH A RED INTERIOR, BRINGS BACK ALOT OF MEMORIES

looking at it from underneath the flywheel looked wobbly when spinning, the teeth had play and the convertor looked like it might have been the trans casing, I would take them off test the flywheel for true and run the engine without them both to see

Great video. I'm glad you posted. Keep them coming, thanks.

Cant wait to see more on this one

I had one of these as my first car. It had a very tired 170 six cylinder. I swapped in a 260 V8 which was much better but not much of a hot rod but my brother swapped in a 4 speed using the column shifter for the forward gears and an 8 ball pulled up on the floor for reverse.

Looks like the torque converter might be loose the ring gear should run truer or the crankshaft is bent a little.

Looks like you have a pretty-much standard approach to bringing these things back to life. Great work!! 👍

Also can’t wait to watch some new videos I love your channel and these old cars getting brought back to life!

Great episode

Thank you both I enjoy the fact it’s a father and son show 👍

Made my week seeing a new video and the longer in-depth ones are the best, you guys keep it up! Mark all the way from the UK! ❤

My first car was a 1962 Fairlane 221 v8 3 speed manual red in color. I put a fully sync trans from a 63 in it and put shifter on the floor I put bucket seats in it from a Subaru. I put Fenton SS wheels on it I put cherry bomb glass pack mufflers with dual exhaust it was really a nice car I did run it hard though motor started pulling oil up past the rings fouling out the plugs for 145 hp it did run Fairly strong though I raced a 283 2 barrel Chevy impala one time and beat it in the quarter Mile the guy told me you must have a 289 in that I told him no it was just a 221 Lot of memories with that car thanks for showing us your video

I sure would like to see more videos on this car. You and your dad are doing a fine job 👍

Man, that spark is strong! Dang

I bought a 1966 Ford Fairlane GT Cobra last year for 3100 dollars. I'm a Truck Driver out of N. C. And going to a Community College learning how to restore my wife's 1977 Chevrolet Scottsdale 4x4

I just love your positive energy God Bless Carl Fernandes from Mumbai India

You are aware what happens to hydraulic lifters when sitting for a long time will do and what will happen to compression? Next time pull the distributor and prime the oil pump which will lubricate the entire engine before starting a dry motor causing wear or even breaking things internally. Doing that the engine will possibly start right up as normal

It's a great looking old car, nice and original 👌🏻, hope you rebuild the motor, enjoy watching the process of an engine rebuild 🤙🏻

Looking forward to seeing more on this one. Good work BB!

Beautiful. I had a 63 four door as my first car, her name was Fanny. Loved her much.

I’ve got a soft spot for these old Fairlanes. My parents bought a used 63 500 wagon in 1968 with a 260/2 speed auto. It didn’t have power steering or brakes, or seat belts, but did have A/C. Even without the power assists, my mother thought it was easy to drive. Us kids just thought it was cool, especially jump seat in the back. The previous owner had it undercoated, so in the almost ten years it was in our family, it had very minimal rust. My dad sold it for about a hundred bucks as it needed work - a lot more than he intended to do. I wish it had been passed down to me, but that’s the way it goes.

What a cool find. Cool car. 💪🇱🇺
