1963 Ford Fairlane 500 Thunderbolt Recreation For Sale Fresh 427 Center-Oiler * Mickey Thompson Cross-Ram Dual Quads * Toploader 4-Speed * 9- Inch Posi * 4.56 Gears * Fiberglass Front End This beautifully restored 1963 Ford Fairlane 500 is an exceptionally well-executed Thunderbolt-style recreation, built with the lightweight body components, massive FE power, stripped interior, and period drag-racing attitude that made Ford's factory Super Stock cars legendary. Finished in a deep burgundy-style exterior with Thunderbolt badging, the car has a beautifully straight body, excellent lines, and impressive paint, chrome, stainless, trim, and glass throughout. Up front, the Fairlane features the unmistakable Thunderbolt-inspired treatment with a fiberglass nose, fiberglass front fenders, fiberglass front bumper, and teardrop hood, along with air induction routed through the center headlight locations. American Racing Torq Thrust wheels complete the vintage competition look, while a front- mounted tow bar adds another great period drag-racing detail. Freshly Rebuilt 427 Center-Oiler Under the hood is the centerpiece of the build: a freshly rebuilt 427ci Ford Center-Oiler V8 producing approximately 425 horsepower. The engine is topped with a rare Mickey Thompson aluminum cross-ram intake manifold carrying a pair of Holley carburetors. Additional period-inspired equipment includes aluminum Cobra LeMans valve covers, a rare Mallory Promaster coil, and an old-school Mallory distributor. Engine Highlights Freshly rebuilt 427ci Ford V8 Center-Oiler configuration Approximately 425 horsepower Mickey Thompson aluminum cross-ram intake Dual Holley carburetors Cobra LeMans aluminum valve covers Mallory Promaster coil Mallory distributor Long-tube headers Long-tube headers feed a full dual exhaust system with large-chamber Flowmaster mufflers, giving the 427 exactly the deep, aggressive sound expected from a big-block Fairlane. Ford Toploader 4-Speed Backing the 427 is Ford's legendary Toploader 4-speed manual transmission, operated through a floor-mounted Indy-style shifter. Power is sent to a Ford 9-inch Positraction rear end with aggressive 4.56:1 gearing, while traction bars help put the big-block power to the pavement. Drivetrain Highlights Ford Toploader 4-speed Floor-mounted shifter Ford 9-inch rear end Positraction 4.56 gears Traction bars The combination of a 427, dual quads, four-speed transmission, and 4.56 gears gives this Fairlane exactly the raw mechanical character the build was intended to deliver. Thunderbolt-Style Lightweight Front End The front of the car closely follows the visual and functional theme of Ford's legendary Thunderbolt program. Fiberglass components help reduce weight while recreating the purposeful appearance of Ford's factory drag racers. Lightweight Front-End Equipment Fiberglass front fenders Fiberglass front bumper Fiberglass nose Fiberglass teardrop hood Center-headlight air induction Thunderbolt-style side badging Front tow bar The headlight-fed air induction is one of the coolest details on the car, directing fresh air toward the dual-quad 427 while immediately identifying the build as Thunderbolt- inspired. Beautifully Restored Exterior The Fairlane presents with an excellent restored finish and a beautifully straight body. Panel fit and body lines show very well, while the chrome and stainless provide a strong contrast against the dark burgundy-style paint. The glass and exterior trim also present nicely, and the American Racing Torq Thrust wheels give the car the exact early-1960s competition look the build calls for. Stripped, Period-Inspired Interior Inside, the Fairlane continues the no-frills Super Stock theme. The restored tan vinyl interior features bucket seats, a simple floor covering, straightforward instrumentation, and very little unnecessary equipment. A dash-mounted old-school AutoMeter tachometer and auxiliary gauges keep the driver informed, while the overall layout remains intentionally sparse. Interior Highlights Restored tan vinyl interior Bucket seats Plain vinyl/rubber-style floor covering Dash-mounted AutoMeter tachometer Auxiliary gauges 4-speed floor shifter No radio No console No carpeting No clock No sun visors There is nothing luxurious about the interior-and that is exactly the point. This car was built to capture the character of a period drag racer, where weight savings and performance mattered far more than creature comforts. Old-School Ford Performance This Fairlane is not presented as a factory 1964 Thunderbolt. Instead, it is a 1963 Fairlane 500 recreation built in the spirit of those legendary Ford Super Stock cars, using many of the visual and mechanical elements enthusiasts immediately associate with them.
