When I was in 7th grade, my shop teacher Mr Kangas had one of these. Maroon, white interior, 390 ,4 speed & those rally wheels. When the first snow came, my friend & I watched him come into the parking lot, tripped the accelerator & did a 180, then let it roll backwards into a parking spot at the rear of the lot.WOW! IMPRESSED 2 young guys.
That is just simply Gorgeous! Remember when this style came out in 1966 and how rare it was to see the GT model on the street and couldn't understand why they didn't sell more cause not only being really sharp but you could feel the power emitting from the car when it was coming down the street and you knew this was one bad puppy!
For my money the 66 and 67 Fairlane GT and GTA were the most beautiful cars produced in the 60's. The only thing this beast is lacking is the super rare 427/425 hp engine that was an option.
I concur duh dut duh duh they sure dont know american muscle this was it in its infancy so much fun back then hardley even any plastic in this car good old american steel
Yeah .... for chrisssake just hold the gas pedal to the floor....and turn the key till it starts ...that's how you start a carbureted engine that's "flooded". ...
I have one, black on black, auto with console, with about 87k miles at the end of its life. I lived in Cleveland and the last six months of its life, I had card board shoved into the back seat to keep the rain, mud, snow and ice from slinging all over me w hill I drove it. 78 was a very hard winter with giant pot holes everywhere. I was leaving work, hit a big hole and jerked the rear end out of the spring hangers. LoL… Those we’re fun days up north. It’s a good memory that I had forgotten about. Cheers!
Not been much of a Ford guy but if I had to pick, this model GT Fairlane would be it for me and even though its blue its black enough, super cool car, would love to own it
Wow!!! This is super rare. A 390, 4-valve engine? Nope! The 4V means 4 venturi or more commonly known as a 4-barrel carburetor. You guys might want to stick to coffee.
I love how everyone anymore touts there car as a 'true" one of one car.About every car is one of one if you break down every conceivable option .What constitutes rarity is the model and drivetrain.
It makes me sick to admit I owned a 67 mercury cyclone 390 gt,1 owner my uncle Terry, it was purchased new prior to Terry going to Viet Nam, This car was the scariest ride I had the pleasure of knowing growing up.
That was my first car. Mine had a black vinyl top over Wimbledon white with the 2Bbl 390 and C6 auto with a 3.00:1 rear axle. Miss that car to this day.
I had one one just like it , but mine had a factory 8 track and white interior , and the paint was metallic green . I have never found one like mine ever . Unfortunately when the military came up ……..my dad sold it . Not happy.
Wow 1of1 so sweet i used to have 1 of the 18000 in 1988 white 2dr blue interior automatic 289 and i remember a light blueish tint at the top of windshield i really wish i had kept that car
My sister's boy friend had a 1967 Fairlane GT that looked a lot like this one. I don't think It had the console but I'm not sure, it's been too many years. It was a 390 GT 4 speed with dark blue metallic paint and the same wheels. There were three Failane GT's in my home town at the time, a red '66 390 4speed, a red '67 390 4 speed and the blue one. All three were very fast.
WRONG. All '66-'67 Ford Fairlane GT cars were 2 door hardtops, all had 4 speed manual transmissions, and all had 390 engines. Three were 427 GT cars but those were done by TASCAR Ford in RI. I bought one of the three new in 1967 and I still have it. Nightmist blue paint was NOT metalflake either. It was Dark blue metallic. All '66-'67 GT cars had bucket seats and center console. Style Steel wheels for '66-'67 GT cars were not rare either. I not only own two '66-'67 Ford Fairlane GT cars, but that are also 100% restored correctly, I've owned a successful classic/vintage vehicles business for almost 36 years, I/we have restored several Ford Fairlane GT/GTA cars over the years. This fool is full of crap.
@@mrdiplomat9018 I lived in CT for many years but later moved further north because CT business costs/insurance/taxes were ridiculously high. Although I'm still am the major owner of our restoration business, I only work part-time. One of my daughters and her husband runs it now. Currently, there's about a one year wait backlog. Convertibles are also more costly to restore than sedans/hardtops. If your '66 GTA has no rust, a full restoration would be $30+k to make it like new again. We only do concours level quality restorations. I have two Ford '66 GT Fairlanes and one Ford '67 GT XL Fairlane. One '66 is a 390 car. The other '66 has a '69 460 in it. The '67 is a 427 car that I bought new at TASCA Ford in RI.
That it still has the original wheels is the rarest thing.Limited slip is the default rear you had to order posi . If it's original it's also a top loader and you have to try to flood a390
One of one is actually pretty meaningless. Most cars that are and were ordered from the factory that had multiple options to choose from end up being one of one. You can see why from this video. Having tinted windows with a console doesn't really make this car any more special. What makes it special is that it survived and is desirable.
true, and to say only 7 came with the floor shifter center console is horse feathers, most of the 3 and 4 speed manuals had the floor console, how do I know? Iv,e owned 3 of them!
Beautiful car, but it should have a "Detroit Locker" and the 390 is a "2 valve" design.Aside from a 427 car,that would be the '67 Fairlane I would choose. Absolutely stunning....
Flooded ?? Start it with the accelerator held to the floor , should clear it out.Carburetor butterflies out of adjustment on the shaft, not closing completely, will sometimes leak fuel into the manifold under high vacuum after a hot shutoff and flood the engine.
As a life long ford guy, I've got to say yall know nothing about this car. First off ford made 1 of nothing ever. Ford was notorious for over production of cars. And even if someone custom ordered a car, ford would build 30 more just like it and send them to different dealers in different states. And the 4-V, is for the 4 barrel venturi carburetor.
Car salesmen are the sleaziest people you will ever meet. "So tell us more about this flooding thing that can happen. If you tap the gas pedal while trying to start it the cylinders fill with fuel and foul the plug. I see and what can be done about it? Oh you just wait for it to dry out a little. How long do you have to wait? About 4 to 5 weeks. Thank you for talking with us today. Sure no problem.
I owned one of the 78 dash mounted 6000 rpm tachometer cars!!! Springtime yellow, black vinyl top, black bucket seat interior, 3.25 9 inch rear GTA. The car had NO aftermarket parts factory cast iron manifolds, resonators and crossflow muffler and ran 14.97 @98.51 mph at WarnerRobins dragstrip. The car NEVER lost a race to a 396/325 hp Chevelle.
He does not read the marti report correctly . You don’t know anything about fords. Any notice the 3 m splice connectors under the dash that’s trouble in the future. Let me tell this guys , my dad worked for Ford from 61-92 in a service department as a shop foreman after years of being a technician there is no half ass in him. Dealerships service departments have a bad rep but my dad took care of people,didn’t let them get screwed he and my uncle had great reputations and if they took it off it went back on. Your car wouldn’t have greasy finger prints every where. Long story short there were a lot of got fsirlanes and gta and 500 four speed 390 cars and hundreds with limited slip diffs. Most bucket seat cars had consoles there were a lot of bench seat four speeds. The 390 got was not the same as the 390 375/hp or 401 3x2 carb engine in 61. It had 315h.p. The 427 was available in limited quantity in 66 due to exhaust manifolds casting problems and only available in the 500, in 67 it was available in all models but the cost was substantial, and I always wondered why the 428 p.I. Was not an option in 66 and 67. Any they are reading the marti report wrong.
1966 GT had more horsepower, better looking taillights, grill and hood scoops. The interior was sportier and didn’t have that stupid looking padded horn ring. Otherwise they were the same.
So take the air cleaner cover off, hold the throttle to the floor and turn the key to the start position! You obviously have no idea what you are dealing with nor what you have there as evidenced by your calling it a “4 valve” when it’s actually a 4V. Damn!
Yea he needs to do more home work because more then 5000 had the 4 speed with the 390 and that 4v is not a 4 valve head it stands venture or 4 barrel carb and if it's flood's vary easily it's because the float in the carb is sticking probably needle valve is sticking those car are everywhere out in the country like around western NC and VA that were a hell of a moonshine car because you could take out the rear seat and you could fit 50 one gallon jugs of shine in it and all you had to do was flip the spring shackles and it would sat level
Love the car, I once owned a '66. Worst sales video EVER ! You need to let these old big block carbureted dinosaurs warm up a bit before you git on it If you do flood her out, pop da hood & take off the air cleaner lid for a little while...
As much as I like the 67 Fairlane's, your logic for declaring this a 1 of 1 car is no better than how every corvette owner tries the claim their Vette is so rare because of this and that combination of options. It is really pure BS and a con job. I do like the car though.
If its a ford they always say one of one lol flooded it so the ford wouldn't take that much gas ,so pit that 390 against a chevelle the same year with a 396/ 4 speed the 390 is a good engine but the 396 has way more potential ,power is in the heads that's why chevies get it done
This would have been a very good presentation of a great video IF, BEN BARBER had kept HIS FRIGGIN MOUTH SHUT and let the other guy (with the laminated paper) tell us about the car. everytime the man that provided the facts about the car BEN BARBER would begin to run his BIG MOUTH and RUDELY INTERRUPT. got OLD really quick!!! BEN BARBER's BIG MOUTH really messed up this video.
He could not be thinking straight it would have to have 16valves min. He never even caught himself shows he is so ignorant he thought 4v meant 4valves no mech. Knowledge whatsoever.
Good god ine of one for tinted windshield gtfoh, 4v is 4 barrel and $100 you have zero clue what GT stands for. I had a 67 GTA with a vinyl top, never saw another with a vinyl top, did that make it one of one? Hell no
If you were selling my car and you flooded it I'd fire you. Why not get it unflooded then make a proper video. 390 Fairlanes are not so rare and when they were current the Pontiac GTO and 396 Chevells ran away from them.
So you say, but the real deal is there were 427s available Ford was payed not to put many 427s in any of there production cars by GM, and Dodge. That being said their reasoning is because the 390s were already GM 396, 427s,and Dodges 440. Facts people all you have to do do a little research, and know what you are talking about.
