    I bet even though they are pointing out all the flaws people will still complain. That is such an honest way to sell a car.

      Obnoxious, for sure. The real ones already know it's a 68. Not need to display it like that.

    I love the old body style of this Fairlane, but you have to remember she has been around for a long time and she still has a lot to give for her age .For she is old but grandma was never perfick and what a good price for this lady. Some love is needed, but her body still has a lot to say.

    What's up with the piece of front suspension that's hanging really low on the drivers side behind the front wheel. It's way to low whatever it is

  • @jeffreyschroder8004

    Something hanging under driver's side front wheel assembly; could be reason it pulls right, under breaking? Pretty nice ride, though 👌

  • @terrymott8581
    @terrymott8581 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I like this car, and the price, seems fair. I think the Ford Fairlane and the Torino had what this roof line style is referred to as a formal roof, kind of middle ground between a sedan and a fastback. for a short period. I bet your local tire and wheel guy love to see you guys coming.

    I bought a car very similar to this in 1985 for $250. Im an old Ford guy and I like this body. This car needs a serious butt ton of work. Good candidate for a complete restoration. 351, C6 or T5, limited slip 9, body and paint. Figure 15 g if you do it yourself. Add the interior or keep it? Gotta lose that awful dash.

    Dash is pretty bad, slipping transmission isn’t good, power steering not working, looks like trans kick down linkage hanging from underneath, sounds good, looks like it rides nice, probably needs tie rods due to sloppy steering. AC blows cold is a plus. I wonder if the 68 is a sticker?

    Question. Why the 68 "decal" ?
    Answer 1. 89 decal was sold out.
    Answer 2. Takes your eyes away from the dash.
    Answer 3. Fords "Rickey Bobby"

    Funny how Ford redesigned their fullsize Fairlane & Galaxies from 67&68 kind of like 68-72 bigger more luxurious for sure the gold 68 Fairlane in video is clean car but interior dashboard is confusing

    • @TorqueRules1
      @TorqueRules1 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Fairlane&Torino is Ford's mid-size car line in this generation. The Galaxie is Ford's full-size car line and almost a foot longer than the Fairlane. The Fairlane has a unit-body frame and the Galaxie is a body-on-frame car.
