 1962 Fairlane, A Gold Mine found  on Craig's list. Local NC & SC car, bought here new in Mooresboro, NC. Cleveland County in March 27th of 1962. I am the 3rd owner, original owner was a female from Clinton,SC. then a guy in McAdenville (Christmas Town USA) NC for $200.00 in 1996. He listed for sale in Craig's list for $4,250.00, with no takers and with health issues- I picked it up for $2,500.00 on 7/11/08.....I have all receipts of ALL services ever done to the car, inspections, the orignial 1962 SC license tag, and the original title showing 7 miles on the odometer-See Pge. 5,   NOW here's what the previous owner has done to this car since 1996.....New paint-(very recently-which explaines why all chrome moldings are off), 500 miles on rebuilt 200 inline 6 in 2000 ( I have since put 3,000 miles on it and growing since it's my daily driver)-  along with new plugs and wires, distributor & points, battery, coil,  retrofited a/c, fuel pump, water pump, oil pump, new carpet, new headliner, new brakes & cylinders- in 1998, new weather stripping,- All that is left for me to do...interior- ( still in good shape-See Pge. 4, but I want to  redo to match piant scheme.. ) a new radio and  steering wheel, put chrome moldings back on, upgrade wheels and tires.  The under carriage is rust free, suspension is nearly perfect. This baby is about 90% restored!!!!  little to no rust-tiny hair line spots here and there...
