I thought you guys Might Enjoy this pic Now Brace yourself My Wagon She ain't as Perty as others but She runs good.
She has a dignity and beauty all of her own, and I bet she does run like a dream. She has that look about her.
I had it on Craigslist for the last several months but then I started driving her again and deleted the add.. She attracts attention...simply because there are no others on the road today
Thanks Mike I've been working with No Budget so as I can afford $6.00 it buys another Rattlecan. Been doing allot of searching for Replacement parts... Not easy to come by Thanks Cruiser.. It took feeling comfortable in Her to get that in my Head and we are going to keep her, Ordered My Dearborne and MAc catalogs so I can start ordering Replacement pans and stuff. Tail Gate is the Hardest part to find May have to Hand form some ne metal....
I was going to suggest posting what you are looking for in the wtb threads. The cool thing about these cars is that they are essentially Mustang wagons on a stretched platform. A lot of parts are the same, which means cheap and easy to find. A goodly number of parts were common with other Ford products as well. Let us know what you need, and who knows, we may have quite a bit of it floating around here already! Love that wagon, too. She looks like what she truly is: A solid driver that is loved, used, and cared for, but not abused. Perfect fate for an old car.
Thanks Mike I will do Just that. The wife and I talked about it this Morning and she agrees we are going to put our Mini Trucks On Hold and concentrate on Our Weallgo!
Congrats on getting the wagon running! Gotta keep those Fairlanes on the road! I know what you mean about not seeing them - I've only seen a couple other Fairlanes at car shows and none of them have been wagons. I've had some good luck with findings parts - let me know if you need help.
Jrwscout Thanks for the offer Bro Please keep your eyes open for any 65 Fairlanes I need door Hindge Parts and a Tailgate..
Thanks Pine Box That comment right there from passers by and folks like you is the reason we decided to keep it.
just when I Open My Mouth about not seeing any Wagons on the road and look what I seen on the way to work this morning
