Not for sale anymore, I have decided to keep the car. This car is a GT..S Code 390 originally, not an R Code. The motor is a year correct 427 sideoiler.
Frigging stunning,what a piece of bad ass history! Luv it!!!!!! Hope you have good neighbors! Florida I can hear the mocking bird barking away! Haha Sheriff's your neighbor to funny!!!
Absolutely love this car. The 66-67 Fairlane R-Code 427 are my favorite cars ever made by Ford. Love the R-Code Galaxie's too...especially the 65-67's. But any 427 Ford is a bad machine
Bought a 66 Fairlane, had a 390 was balanced/blueprinted,built right,4speed,fast!!! Also had 67 Fairlane factory 427 drag car!! Never got to race it though. Wasn't running when i got it,found it had drop valve.Lost job ended up parting out,of all my cars,that's one of them wished still had!!!
A guy in the town I live in has a factory 427 66 fairlane. He bought it new and had to go to nam.He had the motor and transmission rebuilt in it recently and brought it to a small car show. It looked like original paint on it.In 67 you could get them in any of the trim levels but not in 66. Real nice guy, I talked to him a long time about it. Buy the way I’m not Vayda, that’s my granddaughters name.
I HAD THE FIRST 66 FAIRLANE GTA IN ILLINOIS, S URE WISH I HAD THE 427 THOUGH., WHAT A SCREAMER MAN, YHE GTA WAS FASTER THEN ALL THE GT 390's in our town. SHE SURE IS A BUTE. MY GTA WAS CANDY RED WITH BLACK GUTS, NO POWER ANYTHING, WITH RADIO DELETE, BACK THEN IT WAS A SCREAMER WITH HEADERS AND A 3.90 RING GEAR. I CAN IMAGINE YOUR 427 WITH THE LUMPY CAM, AWESOME.
Ford REALLY made some top line cars in the muscle era, late 60's etc., so did Chev, and Chrysler, you can nit pick on who you like the most and if it's chev instead of Ford, I can definitely understand that.....but no one can deny the AWESOME select massively hot fords that blew chev away in certain years... or at least became VERY equal. I love late 60's Fords,,,, also love SS Chevelles and Novas.... totally awesome !
Look at the 427 years in Nascar. GM or Chrysler had nothing that could touch them. they would take the top 5 spots almost every time. Nascar was cruel to ford and the stuff they made them change to keep them from dominating the circuit, it was pure engineering that won them the spots.
YES - Look it up, Also the 427 came out in 63, it was in 65 that Nascar banned the high riser engines that were winning nascar. Ford would have dominated 67 in nascar too. They were winning the Le Mans with the engine that nascar banned.
The guy is right about the off white color. Every one that I ever saw at the races were white. They lost in Ssb to the street hemi at the 66 and 67 us nationals .i was there
The reason why the cop is parked is probably because your car is on double secret probation,one false move,one slip up,and your finshed,expelled from your neighborhood.
Nice , i had one , wimbledon white , same hood . had been an s code prior. Med riser , Dove tunnel wedge intake , 660 center squirters four speed , 4;11 detroit locker. std bore side oiler. HAD is the key word . Frank
A true sleeper. Very understated .... until you open the hood. Have any trouble keeping the seat backs from breaking over backwards due to the incredible torque that engine develops?
BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MACHINERY... WHAT SIZE TIRE ARE YOU RUNNING FOR BOTH FRONT AND BACK? I JUST PICKED UP MY 66 FAIRLANE GTA WITH A 390'S. GRAY IN COLOR... LOOKING FORWARD TO TRADE IDEAS AND MEMORIES WITH ALL ENTHUSIASTS!!!!
do the 427 fairlanes have just the standard top loader in them? are they the close ratio or wide ratio? the big input top loader didnt come out till 68 behind the 428 stuff right?
car were so awsome in those days...i dont care that they nw make fast 4 cyl turbo plastic econobox that are faster, they are not as fun and full of garbage i dont want, like electronic, screens, electric this and that...all iwant is a body and engine+drivetrain and seats with the only options: power steering,am radio delete and diff ratio choices
very well said, no shit. Just who in the hell are they catering to these days? I guess its the lowest common denominator, camera for this , button to do that for you. its an absolute mess and the guy or gal that just enjoys driving is left paying for all these so called advancements. I guess we just have to be thankful that we lived and totally enjoyed an era where cars were fun to drive and look at too
Ford automobiles all of them after 1968 were detuned from the factory to meet certain standards of idling and vibration that the brass at Ford came up with. This meant the cams and compression couldn't be as radical as the cars from GM and Chrysler but when their engines were put on professional venues with the right goodies in them they could compete with any GM or Chrysler product.
I was hoping he was going to punch it pulling out of the driveway but then I seen the cop car sitting there then I was hoping he was going to punch it after he went by him 😂
you really needed to do a drive along for the viewers to at least experience the G-force acceleration.....don't understand the whole concept of the video without actually seeing the car run.....don't baby this thing
Burnouts just beat on your drivetrain, and are pointless 🍺 Also, that is Florida, and the Sheriffs all live locally... I don’t think there was anyone in that cruiser anyway.
