1965 Ford Fairlane 500 Sports Coupe V-8

This car was purchased new by Ruth Siefken from Christiansen & Weiss Ford on March 4 1965. She loved the bucket seats and console (remember when this was real desirable?). It was to be used by Ruth and her retired NY Police officer Husband. They kept it in their heated garage and it wasused ONLY in good weather. With less than 20000 miles on the odometer her Husband passed away. The car remained in the garage only being started occasionally. One day when Ruth decided to take it for a spin around the block from the lack of use she hit the brakes and the car swerved to one side (probably a stuck wheel cylinder) and that was enough for her. Back in the garage. Fortunately it was discovered by a Collector who bought the car and began the task of restoring what was an extremely original 100% matching numbercar with some garage bruises and stale gas stuck wheel cylinders. etc. All the usual stuff that happens when a car sits. By now it was 1990. The new owner slowly went through the restoration process and used it sparingly along the way. It ended up in the body shop for 8 years as a "no rush" refurbish down to bare metal. The results are what you see here. Every panel on the car is original and date coded. The VIN is stamped inside the left front fender not on top like the Mustangs. NOT A SPOT OF RUST ANYWHERE now or ever! The interior is mostly original and the complete ORIGINAL drive train has never been removed. The transmission was re-sealed and I took the valve covers off and the heads are correct with proper date codes (and clean as a whistle). The car runs like 1965 all over again. Easy start choke works properly transmission shifts as smooth as silk no strange noises anywhere. The nicest driving Ford I have ever owned. EVERY SINGLE ITEM ON THE CAR WORKS PROPERLY! Radio wipers washers cigarette lighter heat horns signals reverse lights shifter light and on and on. I even have the 4 original keys and they all work.You would feel comfortable driving this car anywhere. The mileage on the car is accurate and once you look closely at it you will understand.
