1965 Ford Fairlane 500 Sports Coupe (289 V8) Start Up, Road Test, and In Depth Review

[@elevatorman427]

Gosh I just love to hear those 289s. They sound so good to me starting up and running

[@SupercarAdvocates]

Now that's what we're talking about, old skool cool! Always great

[@TheJamesbomfray]

Impressive state of conservation. It's a piece of art

[@Richard57353]

Hands down one of the most beautiful original fairlane 500s I have ever seen in my life. I love your videos Kyle keep up the good work

[@TheTechCguy]

I'm 20 years old and I can say I love these cars. There's that vintage feel that you get from no other car. :)

[@Francoberry]

man, cars like this make me dream about going to America for a few months and driving coast to coast in some awesome land yacht from the 60s. great video as usual!

[@miahnuai4084]

This review is stellar. Very in depth. I Got a 289 from a 66 fairlane I’m working on. I’m keeping it stock. For classic cars love the 63-67 cars the best.

[@57Banjoman]

My first car was a "67 with a post-I always thought they had the best styling, but this "65 is beautiful. Mine was a 289 also, and I kept the engine all these years, after the unibody failed from rust. I always hoped to find another body to drop my engine into-maybe someday.Thank you very much for this video!

[@saabkyle04]

+57Banjoman Thank you for watching and sharing that!! :)

[@jamelmoore4356]

Very beautiful Fairlane! There truly is a special connection with these classic American automobiles that you just don't have with the modern cars!

[@ElshamyWalid]

Its a beauty

[@KostaRST]

+Omar of course :)

[@adamglover252]

What are you talking about its ugly af

[@driftking7633]

+Adam Glover Well, that's your opinion.

[@Spudchucker92]

+Adam Glover No.....just no.

[@Stressless2023]

Love this. Looking right now for a 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 resto-project for my dad before March for a birthday present, and a 1953 Ford Customline for my grandfather before April for his. Both were their 1st cars.

[@jeffpuha8187]

+SuchANiceGirl22 Cool. My parents had a lovely new gold '65 Ford Galaxie 500. I was 9-years-old when they bought it and I remember a few evenings coming back from shopping when I would stretch-out in the back seat and fall asleep. It was so comfortable that my mom used to have to fight with me to get me out of the car and into the house when we got home. :) Good luck in your search.

[@BrodyLevesque]

I think you did a fine job of presenting this car. You obviously have a passion for older classic cars including the early generations of American Muscle cars like the Fairlane model. It's a passion I share as when I lived and worked in Los Angeles I was lucky enough to acquire a 66 Fairlane GT with the 390 Ford Big Block and the Ford variant of the Holley 750 CFM DOUBLE PUMPER CARB. The car was painted Ivy Gold with Flat Black Trim and the full GT Package. Well done!

[@DeathReaper280]

Love it, we sold my 65 sports coupe today, A code, black orginal, power steering ac with ivy gold interior, it was a 1 of 1

[@blackbird5634]

My first car!!! Drove it till the wheels fell off! Fantastic!!

[@MostlyBuicks]

Oh yeah. Just came over from your 1965 two door sedan. Now THIS is more like it!

[@philipp9481]

What a great, timeless car. I really like it! :) Cool video, Kyle. Thanks!

[@HaleyIsabellechannel]

just bought my first car, and it is this one exactly except blue ;)

[@jonszabo]

Boy, this car sure does bring back some good memories!! I've always been a sucker for a car with a nice front end, and hood ornament!! Beautiful car, Kyle!!! :)

[@IKhanNot]

Awesome. Gotta love the mix of classics and new cars you provide the people with. If I had to have a nice classic car it would probably be a Pontiac GTO Judge or a Chevelle SS.

[@martentrudeau6948]

Excellent review, good commentary and a beautiful 65 Ford Fairlane 500, thank you. Wish we still "made in a America" cars this simple, functional, powerful and stylish.

[@notapplicable3220]

Has the same starter as my 66 mustang :) Love that sound

[@kevinwoodard6571]

Beautiful! Even though someone added the digital radio below the dash panel, I like how there's still the original AM radio.

[@wysetech2000]

Congrats on owning that beauty,Kyle. I had a 65 Galaxy 2 dr. that I installed a 289 2 barrel and a 3 speed stick. I beat the crap outta that engine and it took every bit. All I did to that car was replace several transmissions and frequent oil changes.

[@flippedmylid92]

This video is giving me a nostalgic vibe. The opening scene (visually) reminds me of old movies.

[@cli2511]

Good Job again Kyle! Keep up the good work! Million miles is coming

[@saabkyle04]

+C Li Thanks buddy!

[@cli2511]

I meant subscribers not miles

[@ezequieltcd]

I like how you separate each part of the video in the description. Make it easier to find or repeat the part you want to see. Also, don't pay attention to haters. I've been following you for like 2 years now and your videos have become more professional each time. Keep on the excellent job you have been doing. Congratulations on such a beautiful car.

[@LegoCrafterTuber]

Kyle, this Fairlane lookes so original.

[@RobertKohut]

It's amazing how you can provide such a detailed review of a classic car the same as you do with the current models you bring us. Ahhhh, the old days....Ha, ha!

[@saabkyle04]

+Robert Kohut Thank you Robert! :)

[@kgachapiso]

Happy New Year 2016 from Japan!!!!

[@saabkyle04]

+Driver's High Channel Happy New Year!

[@CarCommercialsofthePast]

A review of a classic vehicle. Love it!

[@jonathanbailey9921]

Learned to drive in one. 289 was a great little motor.

[@montymatilda]

Really nice car. Love the bucket seats. Like the color of the previous car though. Certainly like the sound of this one over the first one you owned. I love these things.

[@kevinrussell8698]

Very nice car. 65 fairlane owner myself . Good to see original one and learn more details on options for 65... Good info

[@tuanh_duong]

Starts up better than today's cars that's for sure!

[@steves4639]

what a nice car. Ford really trimmed out its premium models, such as this Sports Coupe and the Galaxie XL and Falcon Futura, in the mid-sixties to a degree you would never again see. Back then, even in the Ford Total Performance years, the emphasis was on comfort and trimmed out luxury. Great colors on this car too. Kyle, I hope you're still enjoying this awesome car...it was a great find!

[@accentwolf1260]

Thankfully this car is owned by a good person.

[@SJSharkWannabe]

Absolutely stunning car, my friend! I hope it earns Best In Show at every auto show you attend.

[@MrFrozenCanuck]

An aftermarket stereo in the glovebox might have been a better idea, but I don't think it's a big deal.

[@_Forever555]

What a beautiful car.. makes me think about how far we came from the original ideas of what a car should be.. and yet, how some things were better back then. For example, the way the windows open up for front and rear passengers as a sort of panoramic design.. I love that. Seems like cars back then were made for the experience of driving/cruising, modern cars are more emphasized on speed and horsepower.

[@jgueroz71]

I just want to let you know mate that you really are a great youtuber! Hope for the BEST in 2016!!!

[@mikeglenn3333]

My grandfather had a '65 with a 289 and 4 on the floor. According to what was said, he bought it brand new and drove it very rarely. When he died in 2001, it went to my dad

[@gustavoestevam5263]

Very complete review. Thanks for uploading this nice video of your lovely ride !

[@IsaiahM494]

I love this car! It's absolutely stunning!

[@RobertThomas-vr2qn]

My great grandfather bought his brand new. I still have it. 45000 original miles and original sales receipts and window stickers

[@graysonsgarage5157]

Awesome Kyle, it looks almost just like the green Fairlane you used to have

[@totalwar-galizien8855]

Greetings from Ukraine ! Awesome ! Very beautiful car & very interesting vid ! Thx !

[@MrCarGuy]

I just realized you haven't ever done a Model A or something similar. Now, that'd be a cool idea for you. Love the Sport Coupe and take care Kyle!

[@chrisalvarez7768]

Every rich dad had one of these back then. Gorgeous!

[@talenclip]

It starts up so easily wow and sound beautiful

[@danielcastillo1225]

Awesome video Buddy, keep up the good work

[@ltunedkc]

Very nice, I hope you still have it.This car was made just down the road from me at the Claycomo (Kansas City, MO) plant.

[@karolyfeher5539]

I loved you left the goose flying through.

[@tonynecas4825]

bro. this is metal. cheers. Jeremy Clarkson would approve of this.

[@archergage]

Hi Kyle. Yesterday I was looking at an old issue of car and driver. It was the Lightning lap 2011 and I found a whole page about your channel and I thought it was really awesome that you were in a car and driver magazine. Also I wanted to tell you that in downtown, Greensboro there is a parking deck with a matte black Bugatti very on but I have not seen yet but you should come here and see it!

[@saabkyle04]

+archergage Woah! That's so awesome!!

[@harviefrench1903]

I have a 1965 Ford Fairlane Sports Coupe also, mine is the 4 speed version, bucket seats console around 114,000 miles. Wimbelton white with black top. It has only had 1 repaint , about 3 to 4 months ago .It is the 289 , 225 horse power, hydraulic lifters, 10 to 1 compression. Interior is original, no repairs. The only thing I have done is added a Eldebrock top end kit, with a hydraulic version of the 271 solid lifter 289. I kept all the original parts to put back on , if I chose to later. I also am changing rear gears to 3.55, where it was stock with 3.0 rear gears. I know a lot call this the ugly duckling, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this was similar to the first car I had bought in 1974.

[@noble20xx56]

Looks really clean and fresh! Noice video!

[@JeanPierreRheinault]

I love sound of old engines!

[@JakubG9786]

The engine sounds beautiful.

[@juangil6252]

26:03 "You just sit in sink in and slide off to the corner" LOL same in our coupe 1969 Dodge Coronet, it's essentially a giant couch.

[@FulgerTheDude]

That ducks at the beginning :)) . Awesome review as always Kyle!

[@r2stik]

holySh.... what a SOUND!!!!!

[@huynguyenthe8348]

great video, Kyle! i really enjoy it!

[@saabkyle04]

+Huy Nguyễn Thế Glad to hear it buddy, thanks for watching!

[@AlyRiadTheSkater]

one of my dream cars

[@muzibourrehman7708]

Another awesome pure classic

[@InternetDude]

New cars don't even start up that nicely. I'm sure it's warmed up but still...

[@InternetDude]

+Hamza Alghazawi I haven't seen the X up close but I'd have to say the X. My S is 100% amazing though. I wish Tesla would also build an EV pickup so I could buy one of those and just have EV vehicles. So much quieter, smoother, less maintenance, etc.

[@jefferyclark2340]

old school cars are way better

[@GhostOfDamned]

@@jefferyclark2340 yep, new cars when you look under the hood is a mass jungle of cables Old cars sounded better and you got all the fun from the v8

[@mohammedhasanmohiuddin151]

+Saabkyle04 Great and Beautiful car. The shoot was good with those ducks. ;-) I am quite confused with those transmissions, great work. eagerly waiting for more upload like this.

[@Eliyourcarguy]

They don't make 'em like this anymore! Nice car.

[@joecho1982]

Great review, I might go buy the one I looked at today!

[@Duey54]

I love this car!

[@Sube-Tube]

oh that is beautiful. I'm gonna have to get myself one of them

[@MostlyBuicks]

Man that color combo is fantastic. Because of the manual 3 speed w/OD "freewheeling" aspect in OD (it coasted downhill without any engine braking) it was outlawed a couple of years later. Think the last year available was 1967 or so. So very few people every ordered one with OD in the 1960s. They were slightly more common in the 1940s and 1950s. Mine was a 4 speed car with 4bbl, dual exhausts and A/C. That was way back in 1979 though. Mine was beige. An automatic overdrive transmission sure would have come in handy in the 1970s though!

[@Ronald1234ize]

Gawd that V8 sound!

[@FCV0511]

That's one lovely automobile. I would have preferred a sedan and a column mounted gearshift myself, but to each their own. Nice find!

[@rubbersole79]

I had the '65 Fairlane 500 4 dr back in the late 70's. (my first car) I just finished restoring this '65 Sport Coupe recently. Wimbledon White on Black.......I'll hafta upload some pics for you.

[@lordnguyen4211]

Love that growl in the exhaust. Nice buy kyle

[@mhtube01]

Great video on a great car Kyle! It actually has a throatier note to it than I was expecting. I'm sure it's more liveable than the other Fairlane was with the Glasspacks haha that thing was loud. Enjoy this baby!

[@ladyyuna2000]

Beautiful Ford Fairlane Kyle my dream car is a 1965 Ford Mustang coupe.

[@accordinglyryan]

Was it ever restored? I assume, because it looks brand new. Damn

[@saabkyle04]

+Dell0304 It's been repainted and refurbished here and there, no rust or anything like that though. The interior is 98 percent original with a refurbished steering wheel and new front door panels, everything else, except for the underdash radio, is original :) She's a beauty in person!

[@accordinglyryan]

Wow, sweet!

[@JonathanBrandonBissoo]

+ManyRadomThings Well that deescalated quickly

[@guywill7875]

absolutely a beautiful car. Ford in the 1960's was the best

[@jedi_mario]

It is gorgeous!!!!

[@simonfilmedit6593]

Awesome looking car!

What a beautiful car

[@Ilija742]

Damn i'm not even a fan of american cars but this is absolutely gorgeous!

[@johncapidecallu8076]

Kyle your car looks practically brand new, you only need to adjust the hood on the driver side. Beautiful video as always, happy holidays! :)

[@saabkyle04]

+John Capidecallu Probably the little rubber bumper at the front support needs to be adjusted, thank you!

[@birdseyeview1543]

What a beauty!

[@imrandytoo]

I had same car, my first car, a red with black top w 289 4bl 4spd. It was awesome fast and awesome burnouts. i bought it two weeks before i turned 16, got my license the day after my birthday and the fun began. Quit high school, went to work, had money, the nice car, the best looking girls (not because of the nice car, lol) and sex and drugs and rock and roll.

[@archergage]

Also, awesome car I love that thing!

[@arnoldomendoza8904]

I had a Fairlane exactly like this one four door very good car an spacious

[@quackcement]

if its not too much to ask i would like to see more classic car videos. i sense in this video that you really like their unique character.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

The next time I hear a modern v6, I'll cry! A vintage v8 sounds so much better! Even the EcoBoost v6 is guilty of sounding flatulent.

[@J8ck_hoff]

wow that's one straight car very impressive.

[@jacksonknafel3361]

Amazing car You are very lucky 😄

[@GeorgeBonez]

Man I am really digging your 65 NC license plate. Did you restore it or buy it? I live in NC too and I tried my hand at restoring my 64 NC license plate for my 64 Fairlane Sedan and it turned out umm passable I guess but doesn't look nearly as nice as yours. I have never been a huge fan of the 65 Fairlane but I have to say. You did such a great presentation of this car that you have made a 65 fan out of me bro! Dude you have a freakin fantastic car and you seem to have a real appreciation for the history and the time period which is very commendable.. I hope you keep it and drive it for many years to come.
