A stylish and charismatic 1960s American drop-top cruiser, this is a Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible, which benefits from a previous full respray. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 289-cubic inch (4.7-litre) Windsor V8 engine, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. Delivered from Geneva, Illinois in the US, it is now registered in Australia, having been imported and complied in June 2024. The odometer indicates 76,287 miles, which the seller believes to be a total of 176,287 miles. Build year: 1967 This Fairlane 500 Convertible is now finished in an attractive shade of maroon with subtle black side stripes, and a black vinyl roof, over a black vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring a body-coloured lower dashboard, and a beige dashboard trim inlay. It rides on an aftermarket set of 17-inch American Racing ‘Torque Thrust’ alloy wheels fitted with Ohtsu FP7000 tyres. Equipment includes power steering, a steering wheel-mounted shift selector, an analogue clock, a top-tinted windscreen, a two-bar steering wheel, a push-button Ford-branded radio, and heater and ventilation controls. The car has had the external badges removed and was repainted approximately seven years ago. It has been fitted with an Alpine CD stereo with USB and auxiliary inputs, and an Edelbrock air filter housing. The car is accompanied by a USA title, one ignition/door key, and a separate boot key. The seller notes that the car was previously side-swiped, with the resulting dent pulled out and the panel being resprayed, followed by clear coating of the entire side. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: some small chips, nicks, and blemishes to the paintwork. The seller notes minor electrical issues, including flickering of the dashboard main lights and intermittent rear brake light illumination. The most recent roadworthiness test was conducted in June 2025. This Fairlane’s most recent maintenance was carried out in February 2025 at an indicated 75,930 miles, which included a carburettor clean and gasket replacement, an engine oil and filter change, an air filter replacement, and fluid top-ups as required. Previous servicing in June 2024 included a standard lubrication service with an engine oil and filter change. This Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible is a charismatic classic American cruiser with a V8 engine, power steering, and open-top appeal. Retaining its original drivetrain and benefiting from minor modern enhancements for usability, it is described as a fun and comfortable weekend or daily driver. It offers an accessible way into classic convertible ownership with presence and personality in spades.
