My First car

[Elks]

My 1st car. ZC Fairlane. Diamond white, black roof, black trim, 351 windsor, 600 holley, dual exhausts, elgar mags, which were really chromed pressed steel, and low. This was 1983 and Jacked up cars were the norm.

I have 289 to build. Not sure I can put it in her and to be honest it's not just my decision to make. I have to convince my brother on this aspect.

I'll go against the trend. Mod it. But here are the rules. You must keep all the original parts. ( the matching numbers engine will look cool on an engine stand in the garage) All body & trims must be original no cutting & drilling, bracket fabrication is your friend. You could do a 289/c4. sitting low on widened repro 5 slots would be cool & fun. Who cares about value, are you're never going to sell it??

My first car, its not a Ford, but.....
1970 Datsun 1600, was bought new for my mother, got it Christmas Eve, 1970, Sky Blue
I turned 17 in 1975, and the car I drove most of the time was the Datsun 1600, I was a poor student, had no dollars to buy a car
In 77 I bought the 1600, and loved and drove this car everywhere. I saw the speedo read a 100 mph once
I still own it and it has a genuine 94000 miles on it.
My wife keeps on me and thinks I should get rid of it, but not yet.
My first Ford was a new one, in March 1986, we (me and the wife) went to buy a TX5 Ghia, but came home with a TX5 Turbo
Was Charcol, with light grey lower. 5 speed manual, with electric everything (minus sunroof). Even had electric sport or soft suspension
Basically this was my wifes daily, we ended up keeping this one till June 1996, 10 years, just used to love this car and its torque steer
I now regret selling this great little car
