Ford Fairlane Fairlane 500 NASCAR tribute. Street legal (1957)
Description:
You are looking at an amazing example of a tribute to the racing legend Fireball Roberts. This car is started it's life in Florida and now lives in NC. It was rust free and solid before the restoration and has been kept in doors ever since. We made every effort to maintain the theme of a period correct convertable series race car while making this car a street legal driver. This car has:
A rebuilt correct 312 Y block motor.
Correct 3 speed column shifter. We replace the trasmission with a 67 mustang full synchro transmission for much better drivability and endurance.
It has a 4 barrell Holly carb, an electronic ignition under the cap, rebuilt brakes, hidden head lights, a push button ignition system, complete dyna-mat insulation and sound proofing. We preserved or replace all the chrome and preserved all the body molding. We added air controlled rear shocks, and installed a period correct roll cage was installed. The windsheild is perfect and there are no major defects anywhere. This car is not perfect but it's pretty cool to say the least. Everywhere we go the car draws huge crowds and the stories start from there. We recently had the car in Daytona for speed week, it was a hit and will be featured in thier yearly catalog for racing history. We had many racing legends come by and visit and even had them sign the trunk lid of the car. This is NOT a stressed sale so please don't be silly with offers or expectaions. We went to great lengths to make this car fun, drivable and a tribute to a legend. We won't give it away!

| “This car took a couple of years to build and it is completely ready to go. We used the correct 312 Y block motor (which was rebuilt, a 3 speed manual column shifter, the correct rear end. All the body molding, chome and badging we all love from is correct from the 57 era. The paint is beautiful and the colors are exactly the same as Fireball Roberts drove for the convertable series of NASCAR. This car was never raced but was purpose built to represent this era of racing. In 2013 we completed The Great Race with this car. We travelled from St. Paul to Mobile and crossed the finish line. Since then we took the car back to NC took it apart and built it again. This is not a show car, it is an amzing car that deserves to be driven. It will go anywhere at any time! We spent endless hours combining racing history and what will make this car a great driver. We feel we found a perfect balance once we completed this car.” |
