For Sale: 1964 Ford Fairlane in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway classic cars of Nashville is proud to offer for sale this 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 Thunderbolt tribute. Now in 1963 Ford decided to join the muscle car war in a big way. They took a small hand full, some say as little as 100 1964 Ford Fairlane 500's and put them on a diet. Fiberglass was used liberally, sun visors, heaters, radio and anything that did not make the car go faster was removed. The drive train of choice was the 427 cubic inch big block and either a 3-speed automatic or a 4-speed manual transmission hooked up to a 9 inch rear axle. These cars were not available to the general public and if Ford offered you one, you bought it! This tribute to the brute has been built to very rigid standards and while the engine is not a 427, it is packing similar amounts of power. The 351 cubic inch Windsor is running 8.5 to 1 compression that is pump gas friendly and is equipped with a Holley Sniper EFI, customer aluminum heads that have 205 cc intake runners with 62 cc combustion chambers and houses 2.02 intake valves and 1.6 exhaust. A Ford E303 roller cam provides the lift and duration via the 1.6 roller rockers mashing Lunati springs. A 6AL MSD box with adjustable Rev limiter and two step control and 60,000 Volt coil provide the spark. Ford racing headers and Doug's cut out help the exhaust out the back. A new AOD automatic transmission with reverse valve body that sends the power through a one-piece drive shaft to the 9 inch that houses a Yukon trac lock center section that has a set of 3.89 to 1 ring and pinion gears. This is a serious car and should come with a warning label that reads "twisting the key on this car is not for the fragile or faint of heart" Options for this 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 Thunderbolt tribute include: Air Conditioning, Power steering and brakes, Power windows, tilt steering wheel, Radial tires, Racing wheel and Position traction because you will need it!
