    City: Park Ridge

    State: New Jersey
    Price: 16,000
    [This car is SOLD]

    Price is FIRM...
    NO trades, NO best offers.
    I've just slashed it down to $16k from $23k which was already a great buy and at $16k it's a steal.

    Needs nothing, except driving... and maybe a larger radiator if you want to run the VintageAir A/C frequently, as it does overheat slightly with the A/C on for extended periods. I've also had a power brake conversion done to it.

    This kustom had a ton of unique fabrication done to it.
    Before any custom work ensued, it had its floorboards, lower quarters and rockers replaced.
    The entire rear roofline was moved forward by about 9" and a filler panel fabricated for the now longer trunk. Fins were extended [by 2"] as were the fender peaks.
    Flared wheel wells, re-radiused and peaked to match rear to front, and car's lines...
    Rounded corners/gap lines on trunk and hood, molded custom tailights and grill opening, custom floating stainless grill. Shaved door handles, gas door and locks, including trunk. Custom naugahyde roll & pleat upholstery.
    289ci mill, C4 tranny and 9" rear are from rebuilt/restored '67 Mustang. Pertronix HEI ignition.
    Incredible paintjob, complete with 'fades', photos do not do its justice, even the ones which actually managed to capture the fadeaway effect...
    Dash pinstriped by the legendary Blaine 'BlaineO' Scott.
    This car cruises beautifully at 70mph + all day long with its highway gears, better than 20mpg. Clean title in my name.
    It also comes with a [$450] custom fit, all seasons outdoor, ultralight cover/cable lock by 'California Car Cover'.

    Has a tiny nick on its right rear fin, and a small area of surface scratches from my wheelchair on its driver's side rocker, both shown in the last 2 photos.
    The chrome quad exhaust scavenger tips have typical oxidation/rust spots from lack of regular driving.

    The hand controls can be taken off within minutes and were installed without any modifications to the car/interior [no drilling, etc]. Car is also fully drivable by non-disabled persons, via pedals, with the hand controls in-place... The only reason I'm selling it is because I no longer can wheelchair transfer into/out of it sans help.

    Here's a link to a thread here started by its original builder/painter after I got hit by a tour bus in it:
    http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/mcphails-fairlane-wrecked-totaled.649986/
    it went through a comprehensive over 2 years long rebuilt...

    I've put maybe 350 miles total on its clock since I've purchased it back in late 2011, and out of that, less than 250 since i got it back from the original builder aftter its complete redo; all local car shows miles. Again, I drive it seldom because I need help with my wheelchair from someone else everytime i get into/out of it.

    i've read the rules here and it seems ok to post this link, since it's not a general classified listings site...if this link violates the rules here, i'd appreciate a moderator giving me a heads up and i'll delete it...
    here's a link to a nice write-up on this killer ride by sondre of kustomrama:

    well, i thought the car was as good as sold a couple of days ago but the man in the end apparently couldn't come up with the full amount... his loss, this ride is still for sale....
    again, the price is FIRM...

    here's a close up of the cable operated trunk release handle next to the driver's seat and mechanism.... i had it relocated by the original builder from its hidden location inside the rear wheel well to inside because i couldn't it operate the original release with my useless hands...
