Overview:

Offered for auction is a beautifully restored 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 Sport Coupe—a crimson red pillarless hardtop that blends classic styling with serious V8 performance. This recently completed restoration presents a clean, unified aesthetic inside and out, supported by a robust list of powertrain upgrades. With under 82,000 miles on the odometer and a comprehensive performance build on the original 289 V8, this Fairlane is the ideal balance of period charm and upgraded drivability.

Exterior:

The car is finished in an eye-catching Crimson Red, a color that accentuates the Fairlane’s angular body lines, bold grille, and full-length side trim. The body presents straight panels and consistent panel gaps, showcasing the attention paid during the restoration. Chrome bumpers and bright exterior trim remain in excellent condition, highlighting the car’s classic 1960s American styling. Mag-style wheels provide a subtle custom touch while maintaining a period-correct look, and “289” fender emblems nod to the car’s muscle-era roots. Signature afterburner-style tail lamps complete the Fairlane’s unmistakable rear profile.

Interior:

Inside, the red-on-red theme continues with restored upholstery, plush carpeting, a new bright white headliner, and fresh door panels. The split front bucket seats and center console offer a sporty, driver-focused layout, while chrome trim and insignia badges underscore the model’s upscale intent. The dashboard retains its original charm, including a functioning AM radio, classic switchgear, and original instrumentation. All soft materials remain in excellent condition, and the interior delivers a clean, vintage presentation with subtle custom appeal.

Mechanical:

Under the hood lies a fully rebuilt and performance-enhanced 289 cubic-inch V8. The block has been bored .040 over and fitted with 351 Windsor cylinder heads, forged TRW pistons, a Lunati camshaft (.512” lift), Harland Sharp roller rockers, and an MSD ignition system. A Weiand Street Warrior aluminum intake and Holley 600 cfm 4-barrel carburetor top off the powertrain, delivering both sound and strength through dual exhaust. Power is routed through a C4 three-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels. This mechanical setup offers strong throttle response, excellent street drivability, and the tone to match. Power front disc brakes and power steering enhance confidence behind the wheel.

Summary:

This 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 Sport Coupe is a thoughtfully restored and tastefully upgraded example of a classic American hardtop. It captures the early muscle car spirit with a powerful small-block V8, driver-focused layout, and vibrant full-red presentation. Combining vintage character with mechanical enhancements, it’s ready for cruising, shows, or weekend road time—offering a turnkey experience for those who appreciate classic styling paired with reliable modern performance
