1964 Ford Fairlane 500 up for Auction

Great project with excellent paperwork, needs more than my skills and time will allow. It must go, I need the room for something else. I have a super low reserve to get it sold.

This car was ordered with 289-2V, 3 speed (green dot) Cruise-o-Matic trans, Black Vinyl Top, tinted glass, rocker panel mouldings, Power Steering, Air Cond., Power Brakes, 2 speed wipers, padded dash. Comes with Window Sticker and ALL paperwork from the dealer, manual, paint chip brochure, cards they figured different engines and options on, even a "lifetime guarantee" from the dealer. The car was from Kansas City, built and sold there. I got it with intentions of putting it back to original, but it just needs more than I'm capable of doing.

Needs- Rust repair on roof (from moisture under vinyl top), rust repair on rear quarters, bumpers redone or replaced, some trim pieces straightened and cleaned or replaced (all is there), headliner, carpet and other interior parts. Rear seat is good, front has 2 bad places, door panels could be cleaned and used if needed. I have 2 good used front fenders for replacements, also have some patch pieces for the quarters I cut off another car. All glass is good, rear window is out for rust repairs to window channels. It will need a new battery tray welded in(common issue) This car was undercoated, so the rear frames are good.

Mechanical- runs and drives (haven't started it in quite a while) Trans needs bands adjusted and a front seal(slips when you get on it good). Air Cond. compressor is in trunk, Brake booster is in trunk, PS cylinder and parts will need replaced(I located a correct PS pump and bought it- the remote reservoir mounts on the fenderwell), needs suspension rebuilt, radiator should be replaced(it had some crud in it). I replaced rear axle bearings and seals, new brakes on all 4 corners, tune-up on engine, fuel filter, added rebuilt carb, got gauges working, replaced ign. switch, (still needs some switches and wiring work) ,of coarse it needs new exhaust. I also have some small parts for repairs needed. I cleaned and coated the fuel tank and it seems to be doing well.

I have a lot of books, magazines, manuals, CDs that go with it as well.

I welded in front floorboard panels (they're solid, but not as pretty as you see on T.V.) I didn't figure I'd lift the carpet up at shows. Rear floors and trunk floor are in good shape.

If you like the '64 Fairlane's and have the skills and time, this is a great project. (the paperwork is awesome) It would be a great parts car as well, if you have one that's in better shape.

I've tried to be honest in my description, I'm sure I've forgot something. This is not a car that's ready to drive on the road, the car is almost 50 years old, it needs to be restored.

Please ask questions if needed, I may not get back right away but I'll try. Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end auction early. Please don't bid if you can't pick it up or pay, I have got to get it sold and gone. Reserve is very low, I'm prepared to take my loss and move on. Did I mention it HAS TO GO ?

Pick-up only. The car must be picked-up in Columbia, MS between Sept. 18-30, after that I'll have to move it outside. If this is an issue, don't bid. That's the only time I know for certain I'll be home.

Thanks for looking and good luck!
