WE FOUND A PROJECT CAR FOR PHR

摘要

We have been hot on the trail of a new project car, actually two cars, but this one is mine. This time I decided to try a Ford. I checked all my favorite Web sites each day looking for just the right ride at the right price. I wanted a car that had nice paint and body, since that part is expensive and time consuming. Then Tas Scourtis, an acquaintance at Pro-Touring.com, sent me a link to a sweet 70 Fairlane 500 on eBay. Even though I was looking for a '66 or '67 Fairlane, this ride was just too clean to pass up. The only problem, there were only a couple of days left on the auction, so there wasn't time to check it out in person (it was located about 1,000 miles away). Nevertheless, the seller, Dave Hannan, had good verifiable feedback selling classic cars, and he gave an honest-sounding description of the Fairlane. It also helped that he posted over 20 high-quality pictures of all areas of the car. I made a call to the seller to ask some questions, then I pulled the trigger and placed a bid.
