<< <i>I think you could have replaced the dimes more easily!
True, but the dimes are a lot less of a PITA to keep up.
<< <i>...thougth you meant the wife. Sorry about the car. >>
Yeah those are as easier replaced then finding a wheatie in change!

Hell, I'd take a circ wheatie for mine any day.

The wife will stay. After 37 years she is just getting trained. The car was only out of the garage 4 times in the last 2 years. Hopefully someone will enjoy it as much as I have. Its Robin Egg Blue. We still have the wifes 65 Falcon Convert so all is not lost....

Saw it on Ebay. Great car, and with factory 4-speed!
<< <i>Hell, I'd take a circ wheatie for mine any day.
I hope the next owner will take care of it as well as you have.
I've never been much of a car buff.
My first car was a Toyota Corona Deluxe.
That's 'Corona' (as in the beer), not Corolla.

like someone else mentioned, after that long, like losing part of the family. Of course, knowing you the dime set would feel the same way.
hopefully all is well!

It was a 289 car to start with. I put a J-Code 68 302 in it to get a little pep when banging gears with the 4 speed. The interior came out of a 65 Fairlane Sports Coupe. Bucket seats and a console. She was fun and like I said before was sold because I never drive it anymore and that is just not good for a car in my opinion.
I still collect Fairlane parts so the name will still be good for the time being.

I have a good friend, thats 62 years old, that just bought a 2010 Mustang GT. Its a real good looking car but certaily only a 2 seater.

I hope this will fund some Merc purchases. I still have my Mercateer t-shirt from a few years back.

He's always saying, "My swing thoughts have the shelf life of a raspberry in a windows-shut Ford Fairlane on a summer day in east Texas".
Congrats.
I knew it would happen.

I vote that if he wants it, Ken has dibs on Falconman.

I'm 62 and traded in my '09 and picked up a 2011... 6 speed standard trans... scary fast and fun to drive.. I do like the glass roof..
I did like the looks of my '09 better but it was too much flash for an old timer..
On a side note, the new mustangs are nice! My sisters boyfriend has one and it was better than expected
<< <i>Oh no! But on the on the positive side, you have a 65 Falcon, and a rag top to boot? Neat car! Picture please.

Here is the Falcon. No sentiment with this car because it was just bought and not built by myself like the Fairlane was. The wife likes it though.

Nice ride, Mrs. Fairlaneman!
<< <i>I must be retarded. I'd prefer to own that old Ford over Speety's incredibly beautiful machine.....
Nice ride, Mrs. Fairlaneman!
Don't blame you at all! My uncle in Seattle has a 1969 Charger customized with specs similar to The General Lee (he's a machinist so he did most of the work himself...) and it's pretty cool. I just prefer the Italian beauty personally.

I loved that car, but sold it after buying a '65 Fairlane 2dr hdtop, 289-4v/c4 in a dark blue that almost looked black and with the chrome trim and Cragar SS mags, it was pretty sharp.
In the next 2-3yrs following, I bought a '66 Fairlane 500XL 2dr hdtp, 390/C6 with buckets, factory air - the works, and also a Rangoon Red '63 Fairlane Sports Coupe with 260, factory air, PS PB buckets console 2spd auto. I LOVE old Fairlanes!
Eventually ended up with a '65 Mustang fastback 289/4spd and that was the end of my Fairlane days, but I've always wished I could have a couple of them back.
I hope nobody minds, but I thought I would share a pic of each of my old Fairlanes (in the order that I purchased them). I went from collecting Fords to collecting coins!
(BTW in my driveway is my 1964 Studebaker Cruiser, which Ive owned since 1973!)
Of all the next rides that could have been posted .... This is too funny!
