Photo Contest: 1964 Ford Fairlane


Keith Spillman of Yadkinville, North Carlina, submitted a few pics of his 1964 Ford Fairlane, a.k.a. "Granny Terrible." This is a one-owner car out of Jasper, Alabama.

Keith says, "When the lady that owned it died, her family had it brought to eastern NC, where it sat in a barn until I bought the car off eBay. I went through all the mechanical systems... fuel, suspension, brakes, electrical, etc.

"It had a 260 in it originally. I built a hot 289 and the little car screams now. Left the 'patina' alone. I love the way the paint has aged.
