1971 Ford ZD Fairlane 351 V8 T-Bar Auto - Vintage Burgundy

Unrestored Vintage Burgundy ZD Fairlane heavily optioned with the 351 Cleveland V8, T- Bar FMX automatic transmission, factory integrated Air conditioning, Superfringe Radio, a Beige Vinyl roof and 9" LSD. For sale from our Sydney Showroom.

Big is beautiful. And in 1971 Ford had the Australian luxury car market sewn up with the full sized ZD Fairlane 500. Big on the outside and roomy on the inside, the ZD Fairlane 500 came standard with the trusty 302 Windsor V8. But for an extra $200 you could option the ZD with the same 351 V8 Cleveland (albeit with 2V heads) that powered the shaker topped XY GT Falcon. And if you kept ticking the option boxes, you could make your Fairlane one very special high performance limo.

And that's what the original owner did when he ordered this fast luxo cruiser in 1971. The option box was ticked for the K code 351 2V Cleveland V8 (a detuned version of the GT's 300 bhp Cleveland to a more appropriate but still potent 250 bhp), factory integrated Air Conditioning (just reconditioned and icy cold), a dealer fitted and still working Superfringe radio and a Beige Vinyl roof making this ZD a true home grown factory built muscle bound luxury car.

This ZD is not only a highly optioned example. It is also a highly original one. Featuring mostly original paint with some paint imperfections it is in surprisingly good condition for an unrestored 53 year old car. The engine bay, door jambs and boot feature the original factory paint. Check out the engine bay. Showing all the original paint dabs, stickers, factory Air conditioning and power steering and the obligatory tell tale signs of a battery explosion back in the 70s.

And take a good look at the incredible original interior. In showroom condition with original seat coverings, crash pad, dash and gauges, steering wheel, door cards, hood lining and carpets. Amazing for it's 53 years of age. Showing a genuine 86,587 miles on the odometer. With the factory optioned integrated Air Conditioning working like a charm to cool you down. And the factory Superfringe radio there to entertain. Even the original boot mat is still there plus the superb condition beige vinyl roof. And those classic Fairlane hub caps are in perfect condition with excellent white walled rubber.

Mechanically the car starts on the key and runs perfectly with a lovely note from the dual exhaust system. With a recent full service, the ZD is ready to hit the highways and byways. The sale includes the receipts for the recent servicing including the FMX automatic transmission and the reconditioning of the Air-Conditioning system including a new compressor (Receipt attached).

Many of us remember our parents or grandparents driving these elegant big cruisers. And this would have to be one of the nicest combo Fairlanes available and certainly a lovely car to cruise with your family with the power of the 351 Cleveland, the T-Bar auto, power steering and the factory Air Conditioning. The Fairlane comes with a Ford Verification letter.
