fairlane500 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 OK folks. Can anyone help.I'm trying to find out if there are any other Australian/South African Ford Fairlane's in the UK. I've been looking out for them since I bought mine last Spring.There was a later model to mine that showed up on this site last year and then disapeared agian but that is the only one I've seen or heard of. So is mine the only one in the UK?Or does anyone know of any others? She's a 1971 ZD Fairlane.Fitted with a 351cui Cleveland V8 and looks like this. Can anyone help. Cheers Sean.

MK2Ed Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Agree, I'm not normally into yank cars but that does look classy... White walls n'all... My neighbour opposite would like that...

fairlane500 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Posted March 10, 2008 Thanks guy's. I still can't beleive she's mine sometimes I've wanted a proper V8 my whole life and the real thing is even better than I could have imagined. Everyone should drive one at least once,there really is nothing else like it
stephens_xpack Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Agree, she is the tits! Do like a charger as well.
fairlane500 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Posted March 10, 2008 Mmmmm.Charger R/T Would be so nice to have £30k or so to spend on a motor
FlashCadillac Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 my step dad has a 64 Fairlane 500 sport coupe but its a yank not ozzy or african
fairlane500 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Posted March 11, 2008 That car is the muts and a great pic too.
john_3.0s Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 those old "tanks" (in the nicest possibly way) are lovely. you cant beat arm out the window effortless cruising to the rumble of a v8 and that fairline looks the spot on
Rick Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 my step dad has a 64 Fairlane 500 sport coupe but its a yank not ozzy or african now thats a car!

MEXY867M Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 wicked motor sean,but Ive told you that many atime,cant think off any others so you are most probably the only guy in britain to have one over here,awesome
fairlane500 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Posted March 11, 2008 Starting to look that way Darren. I guess everyone else must know something I don't
caprinerd Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 aint on yet need shock bushes as bolts were siezed. We`ve all said your motor stands out and when it was parked nexted to Dave`s festa(at Bury meet) you then realise the actual size of it.
fairlane500 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Posted March 12, 2008 Yeah she's a big old girl but was at the Summer Nats last year and up against some full size Yanks she looks quite compact
deluxemk1 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 Nice car, your probably right dont think I know of another in the uk. Old fords aside we are yankee boyz to mopar to be exact weve got a 65 dodge dart gt only one in the uk , a 520ci mopar powered altered dragster and we are also looking after and restoring a plymouth barracuda drag car at the mo to . Check www.mitchvillehotrods.co.uk in our cars section and you will see em. Il do sum homework on that for you some of my fellow mopar petrol heads will probably know. Beautiful car , bring it to wheels day on good friday
fairlane500 Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Posted March 15, 2008 Cheers mate. I would love to know of any others in the UK.Thats a very cool site.Some fantastic motors.Love the Dart
