    Hello all, I recently purchased this 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 Custom Ranch Wagon from the estate of the original owner. The car came factory equipped with a 289, P/S, P/B, and A/C. The owner had the engine rebuilt in 1991 and then passed away about 3 months later (according to the family). This car has been sitting in a garage untouched since then. The gas tank was rusted out when I brought it home, so I changed all of the fluids and hooked up a fuel cell and an electric fuel pump and the car fired right up!!! The car is still wearing its factory black paint from 1964 and has absolutey no rust even in the usual places (tailgate,quarters,passenger frame rail etc..) With a family of 5, I think it is going to make a great cruiser! The site looks great and I look forward to talking to you all!

    You gotta grab your sweetie and go barn huntin' on your Rock. Can't keep all those passions in the house for much longer. Cabin fever is overcome with wagonitis. :rofl2:

    Thanks for the warm welcome everybody. I have tried finding a factory gas cap, but have had no luck. The wheels are going to replaced soon with a set of 17" Bullitt Mustang wheels that I bought from a friend. My biggest problem has been locating a replacement gas tank. I am currently looking at tanks from other vehicles with similar dimensions to possibly make one fit, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks.

    You haven't met 'the Rev' yet. If there's a gas cap source, he'll point you to his own stash or some other good source.:evilsmile: He'll chime in. He just 'knows' when a new classic Ford member signs on. :rofl2:
