@saabkyle04 have you had problems with the carburetor? If so, how often, and what are the running costs of replacing parts for this car. We are looking to buy a classic car between 50s and 60s. And "reliable" classic cars you can think of?
I love the powerless steering. power steering dumbs down the driving feel. Granted, I don't hate power steering, but there's something about a heavy steering that makes it feel tight.
@christich99 Powerless steering is one of the toughest things to turn. Especially if you get an old Italian sports car with no power steering, then parallel parking is extremely difficult and energy consuming. On the road however, the speed makes the steering a little lighter, but not much. American cars in the 50s had extremely light power steering and was considered a luxury. The less tech you have controlling the steering, the more connected you may feel with the car at speed.
@christich99 Yes. Like I said, the faster the car, the lighter the steering is going to be, and the the faster you go, the less you have to make adjustments to the wheel to turn. But say you're in the city, it's going to be really hard to steer especially from a stand-still.
@christich99 I have to warn you, the Ford Falcon is extremely basic. I'm unsure if it has power steering to be honest. It's a small car with a tiny straight six. Unless you get the V8 version. I would also look at getting the automatic versions because they had some unconventional manuals in some models like the falcon. Look up Ford Fairlane on saabkyle04s channel, it has the same transmission (or similar) check that out and see if you can live with that. It seems pretty complicated
@AnonymoussourceL0L Do you have any other ideas for a '60s car that would make a good first car? If not, what cars before the age of Plastification (AKA cars being made with nearly all plastic [started in the late '80s I believe]) ?
@christich99 For safety? None of them. Maybe a Ford Galaxie, which was a top of the line full sized car back then. Or its competitor the Chevy Impala. I guess if you want a muscle car, Mustangs are cheap and plentiful. Galaxies are big though, and look classy. Depending on the version you get, the Galaxie can be an absolute rocket. 500 is the trim that's best known for the Galaxie. Word of advice though, learn how to adjust carburetors because you will have to do that with old cars.
@christich99 Before fuel injection, we had carburetors which relied on suction from the intake of air to get the gas and air to mix to be forced into the engine to burn. Fuel injection, pumps the gas/air mixture via high pressured nozzles and atomizes the fuel for better burning. Carburetors or "carbs" are extremely inefficient. You would burn more fuel at a stand still and would not optimize performance outputs. However, you can get fuel injection conversions for classic cars.
@christich99 Not to mention that carburetors are unreliable. They take about 250-$450 to replace. You can repair them, but it's a real pain. You also have to keep adjusting valves in the carburetor to optimize airflow according to how the engine behaves. With fuel injection, you don't ever worry about that. *Side note* fuel injection conversions are expensive. $2500 for a good one.
Independent Double Wishbone Short-and-Long arm suspension in the front and non-independent rear. I don't know if the rear is Leaf Springs.. most likely...
This video is so cool. Brings back a lot of great memories for me. I first learned how to drive stick on a '67 Ford Galaxie (too bad it wasn't a Fairlane) and it was a three on the three. Grandmother insisted. Thanks man!
You don't seem to grasp that your previous comment, "what a shit for a car" makes no coherent sense when referring to the English language and its intricacies. Personally, this car is a work of art and would look incredible if it was painted black, but that is my opinion.
Hi Kyle! This is a very nice car you bought. You should have seat belts installed in the rear seat & shoulder belts for the front too. Doing this will give you & your passengers more safety in this car. Hope you will consider this. Take Care.
id wish to know what were the fairlane designers thinking when they had the idea to put the shifter of a manual tranny in a column instead of being down below... lol anyways, great classic :P
Lucky...I've got the original 221 V8 in mine. Sounds like a lawn mower engine! Your fairlane looks (and runs) really nice! I myself prefer the earlier-60s-late-50s models, back when they had fins, but the 64s and 65s really look very classy.
How is it that your sister's Lexus and your mom's Toyota get kept in the garage, and your 2 cars are outside in the driveway? Think you need a house with a 5 car garage, lol.
i am considering a 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190D diesel as my first classic i'm 18 and some people think it's strange that i'm not into sport's car's i don't care what they say i'm a luxury car man it'll supplement my current Mercedes perfectly
@w140fan I am just like you! I say that if I have much money, I would buy a RR Phantom, my friends can't believe, they say why I wouldn't buy a Ferrari ou Lambo... hahaha! I love luxury cars, big cars, sedans, with big engines, there's nothing better!
@w140fan i own a 1994 W124 i love mercedes!. i want either a 1957 plymouth or a 1956 buick for my classic car. i love old cars alot more than some new ones!
@w140fan You should just go, and buy the car YOU like. ;-) And if your friends or family do not like it, they can drive their own car, or take a hike!
a classic....always wanted one as first car! but germany hasnt got that big streets so it would have been difficult to drive it here. so i got a 05 Caddy CTS. and my das bought a corvette c3
wow kyle congradulations on you're purchase i would love to have a classic car when i get older, but you don't find many nice classic cars here in Mass. like you would down there i would think. That car is in tip top shape from what i have seen. I hope you enjoy you're "new" classic Fairlane and it's to bad you're family doesn't have that 48 super deluxe any more that car was really nice! and so isn't this one!
Dude awesome choice if that car was black it be so "gangsta" lol but real talk bad ass ride I hope you keep it for a long time and pass it down to Kyle jr lol
I'm envying you. You picked a beautiful car. My dad had a 65 Fairlane Sport Coupe when I was little. I want one so bad. They're just too hard to find and so expensive when you find it. I found one in S C years ago. The lady that had it said her husband bought it new in 65 and garage kept it. I wish I'd had $5000.00 to buy it. It only had about 30k orig documented miles on it. Take care of that classic. Thanks for the video.
Make sure you use oil with a high zinc content. New oils have less zinc for emission purposes and they tend to wear out flat tappet camshafts. Some companies make a zinc additive you can put in.
Very nice Ford Fairlane. I have not driven a 3 speed on the column since high school. It is good to know that some of us are buying and fixing up classic cars. I like the 1966 Volkswagen Beetle you have on another video as well.
hey kyle im confused. i keep getting told that shifting the shifter while the car is off is bad for the transmission. then i see you shifting with the car off and without the clutch. does it or does it not damage the vehicle?
My dad had one of these when I was in high school. It was a '66. Same manual on the column. I don't remember having any trouble driving it, even as a new driver.
@Gabzaiat I'm really not sure haha, all I know is that that is the "classic" style dual exhaust put on a lot of oldies. Best part is that this is an all numbers matching car :)
@Gabzaiat I'm really not sure haha, all I know is that that is the "classic" style dual exhaust put on a lot of oldies. Best part is that this is an all numbers matching car :)
kyle if you decide to get a radio heres a tip...have it mounted in the glove box my grandpa has a 1955 chevy bel air and a 57 nomad and they both have radios in the glovebox which is nice bc it still has that original look to it....i like your car btw
So now that you own a nice, classic car, I sure hope you're not gonna drive this like crazy because I think that classics like this should just be driven on the weekends to a vacation spot of some sort. Nice car Kyle. Very well maintained and kept. Congratulations on your first "classic car".
Gotta love cars from the 60's, lots of room, ashtrays galore and enough trunk room to store 3 dead hookers. This 289 has slightly more horsepower and torque as my 95 Grand Marquis' 281. It probably was great getting 8 miles to the gallon and not caring. lol
my dad has a 65 Ford Econoline with "3 on the tree" just like this. Also has drum brakes all around, no power steering, or brakes. Its tough to drive but i love driving an old classic. They don't build em like they use to! And remember, "don't crush em, restore em!"
Thanks Kyle, you took me back to the time when I was your age, (no, I do not wish to go back there). These cars sounded smooth at that time, I guess things have changed. AM radio, and we listened to it at 70 MPH with windows open.
Older cars have great charactor,get great attention and simple to work on.
I own three classics
1960 Vauxhall Victor F Series 2 (since 1988)
1965 Vauxhall Viva HA (since 1991)
1982 Mitsubishi Sigma 1600 GLX (since 1989)
1997 Honda Accord VTi (not a classic yet-this is my everyday car) (Since 2003) This replaced my 1997 Honda Civic LXi 3 door hatch that I bought brand new in 1997.and only had only 4 km when I drove it off the showroom floor.
Um... tachometer?

So now that you own a nice, classic car, I sure hope you're not gonna drive this like crazy because I think that classics like this should just be driven on the weekends to a vacation spot of some sort. Nice car Kyle. Very well maintained and kept. Congratulations on your first "classic car".

Gotta love cars from the 60's, lots of room, ashtrays galore and enough trunk room to store 3 dead hookers. This 289 has slightly more horsepower and torque as my 95 Grand Marquis' 281. It probably was great getting 8 miles to the gallon and not caring. lol

to me, the 289s seem to sound better than the 302s and 351s. I don't know why. You can always tell an old 289 apart from a new SBF.

That 3 on the tree looks cool. I wonder what it would be like if someone made a modern 5 or 6 on the tree?

Nice car Kyle! You could also use the excuse that it's more practical than the genesis, with more boot space :P

my dad has a 65 Ford Econoline with "3 on the tree" just like this. Also has drum brakes all around, no power steering, or brakes. Its tough to drive but i love driving an old classic. They don't build em like they use to! And remember, "don't crush em, restore em!"

Thanks Kyle, you took me back to the time when I was your age, (no, I do not wish to go back there). These cars sounded smooth at that time, I guess things have changed. AM radio, and we listened to it at 70 MPH with windows open.

Congradulations on your classic car purchase.
Older cars have great charactor,get great attention and simple to work on.
I own three classics
1960 Vauxhall Victor F Series 2 (since 1988)
1965 Vauxhall Viva HA (since 1991)
1982 Mitsubishi Sigma 1600 GLX (since 1989)
1997 Honda Accord VTi (not a classic yet-this is my everyday car) (Since 2003) This replaced my 1997 Honda Civic LXi 3 door hatch that I bought brand new in 1997.and only had only 4 km when I drove it off the showroom floor.
