1965 Ford Fairlane 500 4.7l 289 V8 4 Bbl Engine Rebuilt And Modified on 2040-cars

Here for sale is a 1965 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door Hardtop. I bought this car in Arizona about 3 years ago and was going to restomod it. I have since moved on to other projects and no longer have time for this one. So that being said here is the scoop on this car. This car has a CLEAN title in my name. It is currently registered and insured until 02/08/15.

It’s an Arizona car so hardly any rust. Rocker panels appear to be solid, roof lines also. Floor boards and trunk all appear solid. Car needs interior, body work, paint, transmission rebuild and currently doesn’t start. It appears that the ignition switch is bad. The engine turns over at the solenoid with a starter test button. So I am buying a switch and it will be included with the car if not already installed by the time someone buys this car. Also the missing trim pieces are included but are pretty rough and will need major repair. It’s missing the driver side door panel. The dash is in pretty good shape. Also installed a new radiator and gas tank.

The engine however is where I put my money. The short block was rebuilt with components from the Edelbrock 289 Top End Kit model #2027. Top End Engine Kit, Power Package, Intake, Cylinder Heads, Cam, Timing Chain, Head Bolts, Ford, 289, Kit. The kit can be looked up online to see what’s included but basically a mild camshaft, Edelbrock aluminum heads, and an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold. Also installed an Edelbrock carb. About $2900 invested in the engine alone. The specs are listed below for the Top End kit. So I am still trying to get this car running but if anyone is ready to take the car as is, it’s up for grabs.
