1964 Ford Fairlane runs Nurburgring

  1. Didn't see that this was posted here....you guys have got to check this out.

    This is RAD. Some schmuck got enough balls and cash together in order to get his Holman Moody prepared 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 to Germany. The final goal? Attack Nurburgring.

    Now, typically when you watch in-car “Ring” videos you hear small displacement motors with lots of valves screaming in a high pitched tone while you watch the driver smoothly caress the car through the track. It’s a ballet of sorts.

    This is something different. This is an American monster literally attacking the track while the driver does his best to contain the power within. It’s not a ballet, it’s a war.

    He passes other cars like they are standing still!
     
  2. Hot damn that looks like a lot of fun! The engine sounds sweet running around the track and he does pass everything else on the track as well!
     
  3. That looks like fun! Badass sounding car......passing Porsche's is always good.

    I wish there was more story about the car and the effort to get it over there for this.

    The ring has this type of races all the time. Im in the military and just got back from Germany a few weeks ago. I've had my Harley out there a few times on the ring. The ring is a one way toll road open to the public to run their cars unless they are having a race that day. About every 3 months they run antique race cars on the track, granted most are european race cars from the 40-70's but still great to see them come out of the garage and race again.

    Gotta love it. The driver must of felt like he was in Wrestlmania after that.
     
  14. At first I thought this was some video game. DAMN!! Guess not.
    Reminds me of the glory days of the Shelby R models. Great video.
    Pure brute cubic inches.

    Awesome!
    "Ford" is German for excitement, isn't it?
    I think my '64 Fairlane would have been far less successful.
    That sounds SOOO good coming at you on the straightaway...

    I wonder if the speeds indicated on the lower right of the screen are in MPH or Kph? If its MPH he was hitting 220+ at times. If its in Kph he was still hitting @ 135. What a great video - that thing is a beast.
     
  25. Nice to see some brute horsepower on a track that can handle what the car has in it.
    Great video lets see more . Thanks , Rob.

    I just checked it out and wondered if it was the same Ryan. Cool! Now I got another place to read about Fords.
    The video and related web pages were all fascinating! I'm gonna watch the video again in the morning with a good cup of coffee. That will start my day just right!
