1967 Ford ZA Fairlane 500
The Ford ZA Fairlane was introduced in Australia in 1967, offering buyers a locally built, full-size American-inspired sedan with plenty of style and V8 power. Positioned as a step above the Falcon, the Fairlane catered to buyers chasing luxury, comfort, and presence on the road. Its squared-off styling, chrome highlights, and long wheelbase gave it a commanding look that made it a favourite among executives and enthusiasts alike.
This example is a 1967 Ford ZA Fairlane 500 finished in teal (originally Mist Green), showing 72,100 kilometres on the odometer. It is powered by the 289ci V8 petrol engine mated to an automatic transmission, delivering smooth cruising performance typical of Ford’s mid-sized V8s of the era. The vendor notes that the car was purchased in 2009 from its original owner and had been resprayed in its original colour prior to sale. Since then, the car has been kept well-maintained, with work including replacement of ball joints, bushes, Welch plugs, and brake components. The car has been garaged since 2017 and is started monthly to ensure the engine remains in good order.
The ZA Fairlane holds a special place in Australian automotive history, marking Ford’s serious move into the luxury sedan segment. For many, the Fairlane represented success and sophistication in the late 1960s and became a popular choice for government officials and business leaders. Today, surviving examples are sought after for their rarity, road presence, and unmistakable 60s Americana influence blended with Aussie-built toughness.
