Projects I Gotta '64 Fairlane Today!?!?!

Neat Car!!! I love those mid-60's Fairlanes.

 

So this is what a stroke feels like?!?!

Still a reallllllllly big fan of the SS direction, but either way it'll kick booty! BTW Eva and Jonesy like the SS thing to, you dont want to dissappoint them!

 

Low and cl***y is the only way to go, I say cruiser. Enjoy it as is for now and drive the **** out of it.

 

How much?????>>>>.

 

awesome! that was my first car when I was 15...except mine was a 4 door, with a 6 cyl. and it used to belong to my grandma. Yours probably hauls ***.

 

You have any contact information on this ?

 

That is a sweet little Fairlane! I agree... in just flipping the raised white letters on the tires and run with it. I used to own a '67 Mercury Cyclone with a 289. Great find and I sure don't see any reasons to apologize for that ride. It looks damn near perfect to me.

 

I just sold mine a couple weeks ago, would have come out just like that white one.

 

Wow Dan, the cruiser look, looks *****in'. Either way is fine by me! Great score!!!

 

A '64 289 4spd cruiser ?? How old aren't you ?? anyway glad your brought it home It's one I always thought would be waaay too much fun as a SS .$.02

 

Crease is gonna be happy with posts like that.

 

Congrats........I love the 62-65 Fairlanes !!!

 

Down the road a ways from me in Tonganoxie KS there is a '63 hardtop with 260 and factory 4 speed for sale. Been there a long time, and I don't remember what he wanted. If it was a '64 it would have been mine a long time ago. I just don't like '63's. Seems like he was kinda proud of it. It isn't real sharp, paint ****s, interior is blah with later velour seats from something else, etc.

Your '64 is great! SS is the only way to go.

 

WHAT??? Dan got back into the car world!! Glad to see ya back Dan!! I love the ride, beats that Scion dont it....j/k

 

Great score, Dan! A very clean ride, I'm looking foreward to your mods.

I was at the Gratiot Cruise on Sunday and saw a few really nice ones there.

Congratulations...

Joel

 

Thanks, PPoC!

Steve?!?! You're still around? I thought you fell off the face of the planet! As for the Scion...they each have their purpose.

 

This car is ALMOST perfect!

 

I get to come up for air every now and then...been working at night paintin rods for some extra cash so I dont have much free time. Cant wait to see what you do with the Fairlane!! Personally I think Crease talked you into the Fairlane so he could get your Scion for himself

 

I don't really get much time on here any more.........but I just had to log in to give my opinion.

The CRUISER look is OK. I'm NOT a fan of wide whites, on a mid 60's car. I vote for the SS look the WHOLE way!

Maybe not letter it out, but certainly go for that hauls *** look.

BTW, I sent those pics to my harvester service manager. He's got one, red on red.................he's so jealous it's hilarious.

 

Man love this angle car looks like it means business.

 

Don't be holdin out Dan!

I think it's time for a survey.....

 

Crease, you're crackin me up!

It's a tough call for me. I do like the racer look and as a sign painter, I dig the lettering possiblities of that look, too! HOWEVER...I really like the tough, but s****y look of the cruiser.

Blake did a little photoshop action for me, too (for what it's worth, Blake digs the sneaky cruiser look ) The lettering isn't the eact style I would do, but it has the right over-all feel to it. I'd probably do even more lettering, on the top of the rear 1/4, where it normally says "THUNDERBOLT"....

 

And here's Bernie's original version again, so they're all together.....

 

You have a great base to do whatever you want with there. I don't think you can mess it up. Even if you left it as-is and drove it you would be way ahead. That 4 spd and the little revvy 289 sound like fun

 

oh... and yours is a Sporst Coupe so you could pull off the custom look a little easier than the sedan that the Thunderbolts were based on. Look like a Baby Galaxy!

 

Gotta love those 64 Fairlanes. One of my favorite cars. Nice score.

 

I think the hardtop/sedan thing is one of the things that's been driving me crazy. The hardtop roofline just looks so sleek and s****y...kinda like a T-Bird roofline or something. More and more, I'm leaning towards towards the cruiser. Kind of the best of both worlds...s****y cruiser that is capable of cutting loose with some power. Still thinkin, though....

 

You just keep on thinkin damnit!

 

that is cool!

 

personally, dark center american 5 spokes with a rubber rake and leave it alone.
64 fairlanes are one of my favorites...
