1965 Ford Fairlane 500 Sports Coupe

- VIN 5K47C234870

One year body style. Hardtop with the bucket seats and center console. 289 c.u.

Car was originally Palomino Gold. The color was changed to a 1965 Ford color - Caspian Blue with a Wimbledon White Interior.

All body work was done professionally or under the Supervision of Local Legend “Doc” Livingston.

All original paint was stripped to bare metal to expose all imperfections.

The Dash was shaved of the chrome trim and dash pad. It was repainted along with the steering wheel and the center console.

Blue and Silver pearl were added to the clear of the interior.

The floor panels were replaced under the dash and coated with rust inhibitor before sound deadening material applied.

The interior, roof, and trunk were coated and painted with Hy-Tech Sound control Coating (developed for NASA) to reduce heat and sound.

The antennae hole and emblems were shaved, except for the “289” logos on the front fenders.

The Driver rear Quarter Panel was crunched by a fender bender (fender extension to about 2 feet in) from the previous owner.

This was straightened using metal shrinking techniques and a skim coat.

The doors and fenders were removed and had rust in the typical corners.

All rust was removed by cutting out the spots, treating the openings and any crevices with rust neutralizer, and replacing the sheet metal.

The doors and fenders were rehung and the gaps were fixed.

The Deck Lid was completely gone through and all rust was eliminated, cut out and treated.

The amount of time spent on the Deck lid and doors is un-measurable.

The Jams were all painted with Single stage paint to color match for the exterior and the car was painted with a Waterborn 2-stage in a professional booth.

Re-chromed and Straightened Bumpers- The Chrome Quality is poor and starting to peel.

All original Stainless Trim was straightened, hand painted and polished.

The Grille has been custom hand painted.

The seats are in good condition and were chosen not to recover.

The complete build is photo documented and there is a Mountain of Receipts!

This is a Driver!

The motor has an older rebuild on it from T&W Automotive Machine from 1993 with warranty information, but the car was parked in a barn for 6 years

and then it went through restoration for 7 years. 10k on rebuild.

The tires are good and on the original 14” steelies, with chrome lugs and stainless trim rings.

All of the original parts are in a box and come with the vehicle.

There are a few things that I never got to finish. . .Engine dress up, Heater core rebuild, center console completion, dome light, some carpet installed, trunk dress up,

and custom/or original trim pieces for the rear (in between the tail lights).
