Anyone like Fairlanes? I'm bringing my 63 Fairlane 500 with a 221 V8 on Saturday. I've had it for about 2 years now, but I'm now getting really excited about it. It doesn't really need that much to run.
I'm going to take the heads off, and make sure everything is fairly clean and nothing is wrong with, and to clean the rats nest out of it. I've got a spare performer intake and carb I can put on it. Then I figure I can replace the fuel lines, clean/replace the tank, do the typical tune up stuff and it should run. Do a brake job and suspension check/replacement and it should be driveable. My ultimate goal is for it to look pretty much original except for torq thrust wheels, and of course the intake and carb, and a disc brake swap.
I can't believe how nice the chrome is on it. Especially the window trim, its nicer than the stuff on my 68 Coupe.
Its only got 46k original miles on it. My Great Grandmother bought it in 1968 (I have the title transfer paperwork and title), she was the 2nd owner, I'm the 3rd.
