'59 Ranch Wagon (basically a Fairlane)

I looked at the pix of that engine, rebuilt???, when ??

I was referring to my Fairlane, not the turd.

A friends dad had a 1956 ford ranch wagon, red, and white. I thought it was pretty cool.

Here's a local car. A nasty little small block of some sort under the hood.

I always did like the 63 galaxy, and the fairlanes they looked great, don't tell anybody. The turd in this op, i actually like, but the price is ridiculous.

Dad bought it for mom, for her 25th birthday in 1984. Here it is when he brought it home. Red and white too. A few years and 3 paint changes later it became mine for my 16th birthday.

Well, technically it's 3.

And are those 14s? I'm talking about the taillights.

Very cool. The tailights were huge on the 59's no way you could say : I didn't see the brake lights come on.

Don't ask me how dad was able to find this out, but in 1990 there were supposedly only (10) other 2DR '59 Ranch Wagons registered in our state at the time. The sense of rarity made owning the car even more cool.

Nice, i even like the ford cop cars in 1986's crime story with Dennis Farina, black with the dog dish h caps.

Black with dog dish hub caps do more for me than most aftermarket wheels throughout the years. Even just black steelies, especially with chrome lugs.

I had friends who bled Ford blue (one has passed.) Both had 66-67 fairlanes with 427 glass hoods, tho neither was a 427
The 66 had a 514, the 67 had a 408. Both were 10 second cars (The 408 car belonged to the friend who passed, it's now an eight second car, still small block, but a BIG one. )

Too bad you're on the opposite corner of the continent.

$2700

63 Fairlane 500 rat rod project. The car has a 1994 roller 302 with a T-5 transmission.
This is a project I had hoped to finish but do to health reasons that is not possible now.
I have a clear title in hand you will need to tow or use trailer as the car is not running at present.
