Car Description

1967 Ford Fairlane 500 XL Convertible powered by a 5.8L 408cui Stroker V8 Ford Cleveland small block engine and matched to a built C4 3-speed floor-shift automatic transmission and driven through a Currie 9″ posi rear differential.

               Very Nice Candy Apple Red Paint
               Excellent running 408 Stroker V8
               Built C4 Automatic
               9” Currie Posi Rear End 
               Mustang II Rack & Pinion Steering
               4-Wheel Disc Brakes
               Polished Torque Thrust Wheels

This ’67 5th-Gen Fairlane 500 was manufactured in Ford’s Lorain, Ohio plant on the 13th June 1967 as an XL convertible model with front bucket seats. The trim/body plate identifies it as originally painted in Dark Green Metallic with Saddle interior vinyl trim. From the factory this Fairlane was equipped with a driveline which included a 4.7L 289cui V8 Windsor small block engine, a C4 3-spd automatic transmission which was paired to a 3.10:1 ratio differential.

This is a great looking Fairlane Convertible which has seen a restoration some time ago, both mechanically and cosmetically. It now features Candy Apple Red paint with Red vinyl interior. The original 289 engine has been with replaced with a 351 V8 Cleveland bored to a 408cui stroker producing plenty of horsepower. The C4 has been rebuilt and the original rear diff has been replaced with a heavy-duty Currie 9″ posi diff. The front end now sees a Mustang II rack & pinion steering upgrade and the original drum brakes have been replace with 4-wheel disc brakes.

Engine upgrades include extractors, aluminium heads, 4-bbl carburetor, aluminium intake and aluminium radiator. This car certainly performs and handles far better than stock!

There are some minor paint & rust bubble issues in the lower sections of the passenger side doors and rear quarter, around the trunk lid and some stone chips and scratches on the bonnet.

This Fairlane 500 XL convertible is certainly a fun car, which has excellent curb appeal! It is not a show car, but it does present nicely, and is ready for weekend cruising.
