1962 Ford Fairlane 500 Sedan - Red - 14,109 Miles - 221ci Windsor V8, 3-Speed Manual - Single Owner 36 Years - Acacia Ridge QLD
A rare right-hand drive Fairlane 500 with the desirable V8 manual specification, loved by one owner for over three decades and accompanied by an extensive history folder.
Overview
The 1962 Ford Fairlane arrived at a pivotal moment in American motoring, offering buyers a mid-size alternative between the compact Falcon and the full-size Galaxie. The Fairlane 500 was the prestige variant of the range, identifiable by the distinctive Fairlane 500 script badge on the rear quarter. This four-door sedan wears the badge with pride, presenting in striking red with a contrasting cream and brown interior that remains exactly as it should be for a car of this era.
The vendor has owned this Fairlane since 1990, a 36-year custodianship that speaks for itself. Showing 14,109 miles on an original miles-calibrated speedometer, this is clearly a vehicle that has been carefully preserved rather than daily-driven. The odometer figure cannot be independently verified from photographs but is consistent with the car's overall presentation. An extensive history folder accompanies the car, along with original documentation including the AM2000 car alarm warranty card and period promotional literature.
Powered by Ford's 221 cubic inch Windsor V8 finished in period blue, paired with a 3-speed manual transmission in a right-hand drive configuration. The engine bay presents cleanly with all ancillary components present. The exterior carries strong red paint with good gloss and depth, even panel gaps and straight body lines consistent with an unmolested original. Aftermarket alloy wheels are fitted across all four corners, giving the Fairlane a purposeful stance that complements the colour nicely. An underdash auxiliary gauge cluster (oil pressure, tachometer, ammeter) and a Philips cassette head unit are the only visible interior modifications.
