Lot #488 - This Fairlane 500 coupe received a nut-and-bolt restoration and is powered by a custom-built full roller 427ci V8 engine mated to a TREMEC Magnum 6-speed manual transmission featuring a Quick Time scatter shield, RAM Stage 3 clutch and a 9-inch rear end with Richmond 389 gears. A Desert Cooler aluminum radiator with dual cooling fans takes care of the engine. It rides on a CCP tubular front suspension, with 800-pound race springs, adjustable weight jacks and KYB shocks all around. Stopping power is provided by 4-wheel drilled and slotted disc brakes featuring a Wilwood master cylinder. It features a new Borgeson power steering gear box, two red top Ultima batteries, and the original fuel tank was removed and replaced with an RCI fuel cell in the trunk. The exterior is finished in 2018 Ford Ruby Red and the interior is a two-tone brown and black mix in Ultraleather. The interior includes a custom CCP tilt steering column with a custom aluminum and leather steering wheel, Vintage Air with electronic mixing doors and a custom Autosound factory style radio with mp3 capability. The entire top and bottom floor pan was coated with POR-15 rust protector, and FatMat sound-deadener was placed under the carpet. All new felt and rubber kits were installed. It rides on American Racing wheels, 18x10” rear and 17x8” front, wrapped in Nitto high-speed tread-rated tires. Approximately 1,165 hours were spent on the restoration, and this vehicle has 16,484 original miles (title reads mileage exempt).
