About the 1962–1965 Ford Fairlane
from the generation archive
The 1962-1965 Ford Fairlane was Ford's first intermediate, a unibody car on a 115.5 inch wheelbase sized between the Falcon and the full-size Galaxie. It introduced the Windsor small-block V8, launching with the 221 in 1962, adding the 260 at mid-year, then the 289 in mid-1963 in a single form, the 271 hp K-code Hi-Po, with a 195 hp 2-barrel 289 following for 1964. In 1964 Ford built 100 Fairlane Thunderbolts, factory lightweight drag cars with the 427 high-riser, and the body was restyled for 1964 and again for 1965.
The story
i bought the car from a friend who neglated it a little bit, he has a 2dr. T-bolt clone. I helped paint it with him about 2 years ago... then he parked it, so i bought it for $1800 ripped the bench seat out and put '85 LTD seats in it, some aftermarket gauges, crager ss rims "which i hate now" but i have more plans for it i have another 260 which is a little beefy and 289 heads, and as soon as i find a bellhousing im gonna put a C-4 w/ shift kit and manual valve body.. i also have a 3.55 chunk, so it should be a little quicker.. but it is a 4dr. so it's my crusier, im saving the speed for my 64 falcon 2dr. hardtop, plans include so far a 347 stroker, 9" rearend 4.11 posi, and t-10 4speed.. buts theres alot of work left too — Vinnie Dalucci
