This is a 1968 Ford Fairlane 500 convertible that a buddy asked me to list. He doesn't have time for the car due to having to help his son. The car has a 302 V-8 engine, C-4 automatic transmission and power steering. Car runs and drives well. The interior has been redone by a previous owner with bucket seats in a custom red and white. Dash pad is in nice shape with new red carpet, door panels and aftermarket seat belts. The top is in great shape and is power and there is a top boot. The car has custom chrome wheels. Engine has a four barrel carburetor and some aftermarket dress-up pieces. The dual exhaust has performance mufflers. Body has been painted white and is straight with some blemishes that are noted in the description with the photos of the car below including some underside pictures. Car is ready to enjoy or you can take it to a higher level. Email me any question or call 804-five nine zero-0718. You can also set up a time to see the convertible.
