[black69]

I got the mopars and some GM cars in the garage, but never crossed over to getting a ford in there too. Recently, a guy bought some parts from me and turns out, he has a 64 ford fairlane 500, 289 with a 4 spd, and it appears to have a 4 barrel carb. He recently bought it cheap ($1400). He said its quicker than sht, and lites up the tires pretty easily.

I did some research and I dont think they made too many of these, and looking at the stats, they seem to be pretty quick. I guess they were the bones to the thunderbolt type cars (i.e. came with the heavy duty rear end).

Well for now, I may pursue getting the guy to consider selling it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Is this a good starter ford muscle car? It made me think its like ford's equivalent to the gto back in 64. Small light cheap 4-seater that is fast. But I am kinda clueless on fords. Its all original (some minor rust around rear wheels).
