Unmistakably muscular in every sense of the word, this 1968 Ford Fairlane represents the peak of both style and performance. Wrapping up a massive 4-barreled V8 under the hood in conjunction with one of the best car designs the 1960s had to offer, this '68 Ford is a very special car. Clocking in with only 39,000 believed-to-be original miles and featuring nearly $50k in receipts for a restoration (with NOS parts) done in the last couple years, this '68 Fairlane is ready to rock and roll. Popping open the hood reveals an immaculate engine bay, and sitting in the middle of it is a recently-rebuilt 428 C.I. V8 breathing fire through a 4-barrel carburetor. With a powerplant like that, you'll be hard-pressed to find anything from this Fairlane's era beating it off the line. Torque is put to the pavement through a smooth-shifting 3-speed automatic transmission allowing this car to do it all, from dragstrip pulls to simple trips around town. This stunning Fairlane still shows its original paint that it came with from the factory, sporting an excellent "Wimbledon White" hue that covers the length of the car's laser-straight bodylines. Being a highly-original car, this Fairlane is still equipped with its factory jack and spare tire! And, with only 39k miles on the odometer, the floors, frame, trunk and jambs are all rock-solid and in great shape. Opening the twin doors to the interior reveals stunningly restored black vinyl trim that's in excellent condition, with bench seats front and rear that are perfect for long-haul cruising. The four round gauges give the interior a very distinctive feel, and the factory clock sitting in the dashboard still works! Options on this jaw-dropping '68 Ford include a heater + defroster, an original Philco AM pushbutton radio, factory gauges, a working original clock, an aftermarket tachometer, under-dash aux. gauges, a vintage-styled aftermarket steering wheel, KYB shocks, vent windows, a driver's-side chrome mirror, and an aggressive-sounding Flowmaster dual exhaust system. The car rides on a sleek set of chrome 15" Magnum 500-styled wheels over B.F. Goodrich RWL tires for a factory-fresh look seems like it came right out of 1968! Turn the key and that behemoth 428 engine roars to life, running and driving down the road like a dream. With the breathtaking looks and muscle-cruiser capability that this Fairlane brings to the table, it's not going to be on the showroom floor for long, so don't let it pass you by! We'd love to see it in your driveway.
