Sizzle! This smoking Fairlane 500 convertible has got the heat. At the heart is a fiery little 347 stroker .....
with some performance upgrades you are going to love! High quality professional rotisserie restoration by Muscle Car Restoration, a high end shop in Oklahoma. Head turner that is extremely easy on the eyes too. Time to feel the burn!!
EXTERIOR: The red is just pretty, and the functional Super Stock fiberglass hood with scoop is just tough. Looking down the side of the body it is 100% laser straight with smooth contours and crisp lines. All the panels are well aligned and the doors close easily with minimal effort. The Candy Apple Red paint is gorgeous with a smooth and reflective finish. All the chrome is nice and straight and shiny. The front grille, headlights and taillights are all in great shape. It has dual side mirrors and a white power convertible top. It is rolling on a set of Magnum 500 wheels with reproduction Polyglass GT F60 tires. No disappointments here!
INTERIOR: Beautiful red deluxe interior! The refinished bucket seats look and feel great. The center console with storage compartment is very practical and the Hurst 4 speed manual shifter is a blast to throw around. The rear seat was also recovered to match and has seatbelts as well. The door panels, carpet and dash pad have all been replaced. The gauges and bezel are both in great shape. An aftermarket tachometer has been added to the steering column and extra gauges added under the dash to monitor the vitals. It also has a nice fat steering wheel that gives you a fantastic grip. All the interior lights are working and it has a nice red boot for when the convertible top is down.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has some TNT under the hood! A blueprinted and balanced 347 stroker making over 425 is nicely upgraded including: roller rockers, aluminum Edelbrock heads, dual plane Edelbrock intake, Quick Fuel carb plus a Pertronix Flame Thrower distributor and coil. Long tube stainless steel headers flank the sides. It has been retrofitted with a modern "Old Air" heat and a/c system. An aluminum radiator with dual electric fans keeps it running cool. Other features that make it a pleasure to drive are power brakes and upgraded Borgeson power steering. The squirters and horns are hooked up. The underside of the functioning Ram Air hood is painted red just like the body. The fender wells and firewall are both neatly painted black.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are painted slick just like the body. Inside is complete with a jack assembly, lug wrench and trunk mat. They even spent the money and bought a 5th matching Magnum wheel and reproduction tire. Under the mat is all solid metal that is painted body color as well.
UNDERSIDE: Completely refinished and looking good! The steering system has been completely gone through and works well. It has a beefy front sway bar. The suspension is also looking good with upgraded adjustable front shocks and Ridetech HQ rear shocks. The rear leaf springs have a fresh look as well. It's equipped with front disc brakes and the emergency brake is hooked up. The exhaust is upgraded with long tube headers and Xlerator mufflers. The gas tank and fuel pump were both replaced as well. Looking up at the 347 stroker everything is nice and clean with nearly applied black paint. The top loader 4 speed manual looks great and has a hydraulic clutch assembly. Nicely refinished 9" rear end with 3.50 gears. The floors are all solid and rust free with a neatly applied coat of red oxide primer.
SERVICE: We thoroughly inspect each of our cars. This one got the reverse lights fixed, adjusted the choke, tightened the shifter ball, fixed the turn signal cancel, gave it an alignment, recalibrated the tachometer, installed a new battery, replaced the hood springs, adjusted the windows to the top, adjusted left rear window track and made adjustments to the power brake booster.
Blistering! I'm excited about this one because I know it checks all the boxes. It's a red hot looking rotisserie restoration that you just don't see very many of. Get ready for some scorching fun!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide is my professional opinion based on my experience with these vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
