Step back in time to the era of muscle cars and drag racing with this meticulously crafted 1962 Ford Fairlane, transformed into a stunning tribute to the iconic Thunderbolt. This vintage beauty captures the essence of raw power and classic styling, seamlessly blending the best of both worlds.
At first glance, the exterior of this Fairlane exudes an air of timeless elegance with its sleek lines and unmistakable 1960s design. However, a closer look reveals the subtle modifications that pay homage to the legendary Thunderbolt. The signature teardrop hood scoop, reminiscent of drag strip dominance, proudly announces the car's high-performance nature.
This example was professionally prepared and put together and was finished in 2011 and has less than 500 miles on it since completion. The build started with a extremely clean/rust free donor car and all the body panels, fenders and quarter panes are original to the car with Ford stampings found throughout. The engine is a 302 V8 with roller rockers and a special Crane camshaft set up, 4V Edelbrock #1405 carburetor with manual choke. The car has an engineered forced induction dual snorkel system from the inner headlight bezels to the top of the car. Other engine highlights include Ford Motorsports aluminum intake with custom made chrome induction feed in the carb, MSD ignition system, Blaster 2"" coil, 8.5mm performance spark plug wires, headers connecting full aluminized 2 inch dual exhaust with X pipe cut for cut outs, aluminum radiator, hydraulic clutch with strong ""grab"" driving power to the wheels, aluminum bell housing with built 5 speed transmission with cross frame mount.
Other features include subframe connectors, rear traction bars, 8"" Ford positraction rear end, new single piston front disc brakes.
