1971 ZD Fairlanes.

[08ESE]

Ok, now i get to post pix of a Masculine car for a change! My fathers car!

1971 Ford Fairlane ( zd ) factory 302W and factory auto, not many made in this combo, most t-bars were 351.

Its got just over 120 thousand original miles on the clock, and that paint and vinyl roof are all original!

Dad is the 3rd owner, the second owned it since 1972. he Picked it up with rusty 12 slotters on it for $4500 grand, now owes $7500, and has been offered 15 grand, but wont sell. Probably worth even more now, if current trends continue?

The blue shell is the one he is building for me, that i have mentioned in another thread here somewhere.

Photos may be slow on 56k


edit... photos have disappeared???

No idea on engine size but there's a nice metallic aquamarine 2 dr at a workshop just near the Tower Hotel close to where I live.

got rid of the modern wheels today, these weld pro stars are HALF the weight!!

Geez that's in nice nick. Approve of the wheels, they just set it off nicely.

My old man's fave car though we never had one - always had ZF and ZG's (lots of them).

Nan's best mate had a ZD in bronze wine (351). Bought new and kept it until she couldn't drive. We heard she was selling it but by the time we heard about it - GONE. Turned out a local had snapped it up. See it around occasionally.

Fairlanes, Fairmonts and GS ALL > anything fake GT.

looks good.
back story? - yours now - or your dad still cruising around in it ?

[dogsballs]

dunno, not sure on the pro welds.

IVe decided I'm buying wheels for ME from now on, no matter what wheel u buy, someone doesn't like them.... As long as I do!

The fairlane is dads and is promised to my no pix of sister when he parts with it.

I'm currently looking for wheels for my Chrysler.

[dirty_sandwich]

Oh my... that is beautiful!

More photos of this and your one...?

[08ESE]

The one that was to be mine is still a shell in the paddock.

Gorgeous car, I had a white one for a couple of months.

PS - Needs more steelies and hubcaps. Just sayin' ;)

[dirty_sandwich]

Photos anyway? Do you guys plan on starting the restoration soon?

My late Grandfather had a ZD Custom, base model, which he parked in the garage after it got hit by a truck. Just needed a new RHR quater panel and taillight and it was good to go at the time, bear in mind this happened before I was born so iirc it was 1974/75ish. The car was finally released from the garage probably 5 years ago, had a bloody big palm tree blocking the garage! Not sure what happened to the car, hoping it was saved but suspect it was scrapped. Have always wanted one, namely a Zircon green with saddle roof and trim ZD 500 with 351 and the Ford 5 spoke sports wheels, or similar.
